My English Speaking Activities For Adults. Part 29. Education & Career & High-flyers.

Dear readers,

I am so delighted to resume my teaching blog again when I have plenty of new ideas for the English classroom.

This time I would like to introduce you to a new dialogue excercise which enables you to practise: 1) university subjects; 2) professional fields; 3) names of professions; 4) Present and Past Simple.

Level: Intermediate and above

Task. All the people below became high-flyers. For this activity you need to think of a very high career step that they got to. Make up-mini-dialogues using the example.

Example:

Teacher: What was Mike's major at the university?

Student: If my memory doesn't fail me/If I'm not mistaken, he studied journalism.

Teacher: What area of journalism did he enjoy studying the most?

Student: He enjoyed studying ... (e.g. news journalism)

Teacher: What does he do for a living?

Student: (e.g.) He is the head of a huge broadcasting corporation.

LET'S START!

Alice (foreign languages)

David (law)

Patrick (medicine)

Kelly (architecture)

Simon (art)

Joseph (history)

Adam (politics)

Patricia (economics)

Phil (IT)

Have a wonderful time doing this activity! As usual, I will be more than happy to get your feedback.

Yours,

YK xo
