Do you often ask your students: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Talking about dream jobs is a common classroom topic, and one that can easily spark students’ interest. They might answer, “I want to be a firefighter!”, “I want to be a vet!”, or “I want to be an astronaut!”
But knowing the names of different jobs is just the beginning. Can students also talk about what people in these jobs do, the tools they use, and where they work?
Sensay’s new Jobs and Occupations 1 Practice Pack introduces students to a variety of exciting careers through picture-based activities, sentence reading, and question-and-answer practice. Students can explore the tools, workplaces, and everyday actions associated with each job.
Rather than simply memorizing words like racing driver, firefighter, vet, construction worker, và âm astronaut, students can expand their vocabulary with related words such as tire, fire truck, stethoscope, hard hat, và âm rocket—and learn how to use them in complete English sentences.
