I. Introduction
Teacher: Hello! Today we’re going to speak about our hopes and dreams, plans and
ambitions, goals and achievements.
As Eleanor Roosevelt said, “The future belongs to those who believe in their
dreams”. Do you agree with the statement? What are your dreams? Have you chosen
your future career yet?
Students’ answers.
II. Warming up
Teacher: Two students of our group have made a survey “Plans for the Future”
intending to learn about the career preferences of their peers. They will share the
results of it with you.
Students show their slide presentation on the interactive board.
Students: As you see, the majority of our classmates have chosen the following
professions…
Teacher: I‘d like to know what has influenced your decisions. What inspires you to
prefer the above mentioned careers? Whose advice has encouraged you to choose
them?
Students’ answers.
III. Matching “Job Description” (on the interactive board)
Each student is given a set of tasks.

profitable or desirable. Read the given text to find out the controversial views.
Do the tasks on sheet 2 and hand it in.
VI. Discussing the topic using the technology of “World Café”
Teacher: We’ll continue discussing the topic of profitable and desirable professions.
We’ll do it in the following way: three teams each consisting of 4-5 members will
exchange ideas on the given topic. You may use adhesive coloured sheets of paper on
which you can write down your points of view. Five minutes later you will change
your team but the “host” of the table stays at his/ her place to inform the newcomers
about the suggested opinions. The newcomers put down their ideas. The participants
take their previous seats and sum up.
Writing down the ideas
Changing tables
Introducing the proposed ideas and generalizing (1 person of each team)
Summing up – 1 advanced student
VII. Homework
