Teacher greets students and explains them the aims of the lesson.

In order to repeat previous vocabulary related to famous job/occupations (journalist, artist, singer and so on.) students do the matching task. They should match different pictures of professions with related items.

After that teacher divides them into three groups with the help of cards according to the types of professions and introduces new words providing definitions. Teacher asks them what they know about president, freelancer, manual workers: (President-the political leader of a country that does not have a king or queen; Freelancer-working for several different organizations, and paid according to the hours you work; Manual worker-a person whose job involves physical work.)

1^st group: "President";

2^nd group: "Freelancer";

3^rd group: "Manual workers".

After that, ten students prepare for the role-play. Teacher announces other ten students that they are going to press-conference in order to enlarge their knowledge about profession. In this regard, they will be observers.

Teacher gives handout papers where half of students should complete the table based on role-playing in a press-conference (in 3 groups). Teacher gives instructions:

• What kind of professions did you notice in this role-play?

• Could you describe the skills and characteristics of these professions?

Further students who are responsible for the role-play act out their roles in a press conference:

"Meeting of Presidents: Attraction of investment of oil industry".

(Course of the press-conference: there will be a meeting of president Nazarbayev, president Putin, Minister of oil and gas - Uzakbay Karabalin, entrepreneurs of Eni and NCOC companies, oil workers, translator, journalist and camera man. Each of them should deliver a speech and discuss about a progress of Kashagan oil field. In the end, both countries will come to the uniform agreement.)

After the press conference students-observers check their answers. (They give feedback to press-conference).

Then they should make flipcharts answering the following questions:

- Advantages and disadvantages of their professions (president, freelancer, manual workers).

For this, each group should defend their projects and other groups should give their marks.

Giving feedback:

Students are given parts of flowers (multi-colored petals and leaves). They should write new information that they have learnt during the lesson on petals and they write questions about what they would like to study on next lesson. Then they hang out them on the board in the form of a flower.
