1- Warm up

10 mins. Go over the information in the box and then set students up to speak in pairs. Questions 1 and 2 are about personal experiences and students can choose to talk about “someone they know” if they prefer not to speak about themselves. Question 3 is more general – after students have discussed this, make a record of their ideas to refer to again at the end of the lesson. You might just ask each pair to record their 3 pieces of advice in their notes, or you could conduct some feedback with the whole class and choose 3-5 pieces of advice from the group to record on the board or a piece of paper. Note that “career” can be a false friend in many languages, so make sure that your students know the meaning relates to the jobs or types of jobs you do in your working life.
