Procedure (23-33 minutes)
I will write jobs, free time activities, family on different parts of the board. then I will stick pictures related to these categories on the walls. then I am going to ask the students to walk through the class in pairs and decide which picture is related to which category, for example, the picture of the chef is related to the jobs category. then they will discuss their answers in class. and I will teach them new vocabularies.
I will show them the picture of Jamie Oliver with his uniform and another picture with his family and ask the students to guess the answers to these questions in pairs: what does he do? is he married? does he have children?
The students will read and listen to the text, then they will answer question 4(b) in the book. they will first discuss their answers in groups and then in class
