Oral presentation about English speaking country

 First,we are going to watch this video: The British Isles - YouTube

Prepare an oral presentations about an English speaking country

            1. Open a new PowerPoint presentation. Share it with your teacher.

            2. Choose information in English from the internet. For countries, my advice is that you to do a search on the English name of the country. "Scotland" for example. Click on the English wikipedia page about the country. Then choose information from the long square to the right. You can also copy and use images from that square in your PowerPoint presentation.

            3. Write down key words in your PowerPoint slides about:

-          where the country is situated,  

-      how big it is,

-          population and density,

-          information about the capital,

-         languages,

-          government and head of state,

-          other information that you find important or interesting (sports, music, movies, history etc.)

3. Compare your country to Sweden (what is different/similar?)

4. Choose pictures to go with the information in your PowerPoint presentation.

5. Practice and let me know when you feel ready for your presentation (speak for 3-4 min. each)

7. Present your work!

Have fun! :)

Jobs

You have started receiving information about high schools and it is time for you to begin thinking about what you would like to do in the future. You may already have a plan of what you want to do, you may end up sticking with that plan or you may change it - there is still a lot of time to decide what job you would like to have in the future. What is important is that you start thinking about possible career choices.

Over the next few lessons, we are going to work with jobs.

Today we will talk about what kinds of jobs there are and why we work.  

Watch the clip below and fill out the form given to you.

Discussion!
Continue working in groups.
Talk about the questions below:

- At what age do people usually begin to work in your country? At what age do they retire?
-Do you think it is more important to make a lot of money or to enjoy your job?
-What are some prestigious occupations in your opinion?
-What makes people work? (Why do we work?)
- What is your dream job and why? 

Pick one of the job titles from the list and describe it as well as you can to your classmate without saying the actual word. Have your classmate guess which job you are describing. Take turns describing and guessing.
