Jobs in the future

Hello class. Unfortunately, I cannot be with you today because I am taking care of year 6's national tests.

Your final task of this project with jobs is to make a presentation. You are going to make a presentation about your dream job and what you need to do to become a/an...

Also make a presentation about yourself, in which you introduce yourself, tell people why you are interested in the job and why you think this occupation suits you. . You can make a presentation on one of the jobs that you have read about, or any other profession.


You should include the following information in your presentation: 

• Introduce yourself briefly. 

For example: Hello! My name is XX and I am going to tell you a little bit about myself and why I would make an excellent job as a/an... 

I am Y years old and I come from Z.  I have lived here all my life/ I am originally from somewhere else and I moved here when I was...  years old. In my spare time, I ... . I am really good at ... 

• Which job are you telling us about and why? 

For example: I want to become for the president of the United States because I have always been interested in leading a country...

• Conclusion 

For example: Well, that's it for me. Thank you for listening and I hope that you have learned something new.  

Keep in mind: 

Make a mindmap or jot down keywords of what you are going to include in your presentation. I do not, I repeat, do NOT want you to read from a script. 

There are two options for presenting:

• Make a presentation in class on Wednesday, May 16th. If you want to use Powerpoint or some other tool, that is totally fine. 

or...

• Make a presentation in small groups of 3-4 students.

Let me know which alternative you choose,  

Good luck!

Correct these tricky sentences: 

In pairs, or in goups of three, go through these sentences and try to correct them. 

Talk to each other and decide how to write the sentence in a better way. 

Explain why you have made the corrections. Take notes. 

For this activity, I want you to put pen to paper. If you just copy and paste these sentences into a document, the computer will mark the errors and you will not learn as much. You are supposed to gain knowledge, not the computer. 

One other thing that i think is important to the future is that all the people who is there learn each other’s languages.

On the evenings we could do things like a quiz about the difrent countries everybody come from.

I like to make alot of activities on my free time.

In the evenings it will be nice to telling ghost storys

I live in a town who is located in the south of Sweden.

People doesn’t understand that.

On the countryside there are much tourists in the summer

Im a boy on 15 years who come from Sweden
