My English Speaking Activities For Adults. Part 35. Job/Work Related Activities.

Good Tuesday dear English teachers and learners!

At present I am focusing a lot on Business English speaking tasks. The idea of the exercise ( which I am going to show you in this post) came to me this afternoon during one of my English lessons.

My students and I were talking about the importance of high self-esteem for company owners.

Many of us, seasoned professionals, tend to underestimate ourselves from time to time. Normally because we feel that we need more practice in this or that field. So, here's the speaking activity related to such situation!

LEVEL: Intermediate and above

Task. Make up sentences about these people using the example (use the names of professions/ occupations as clues for your answers). Say what these people think they can't do/can't do well/ aren't good at.

Example: Michael (a tennis player)

Student: Michael often tends to underestimate himself. He thinks that he can't (e.g.receive the serve very well).

LET'S START!

- Robert (an English teacher)

- Chris (a lawyer)

- Maria (an architect)

- Silvia (a therapist)

- Tom (a tailor)

- Bella (a painter)

- Stella (a photographer)

Wishing you a wonderful time with your students during this activity! My list of professions/occupations is much longer. The list above is just a short illustration of the exercise.

Yours,

YK xo
