T shows Ss a picture of a photographer and asks Ss what the person in the picture is doing. T tries to elicit the word from Ss. T does the same thing with the rest of the words.
T tells Ss the English word for the picture and drills.
T writes the words on the board, shows the placement of the stress and the kind of the word.
Ss match the words with their definitions. They do a peer check before the teacher gives feedback to the whole class.
Ss fill in the gaps using any of the jobs they have learned to complete the questions. Then, they take turns asking and answering the questions in pairs. T asks each pair what the reply of their partner is.
Ss work in pairs acting out an interview process between an applicant and a manager of a news agency hiring photographers, reporters, and editors. T asks one or two pairs to act out the interview in front of the whole class.
