PP answer the question individually and then discuss their answers in their group. You can encourage them to be honest. Then let groups report their answers one by one. If some of them feel it is not relevant for their life, accept their view. Youcan just say something like: ‘Maybe you are right, but anyway I hope it has been enjoyable!’ Activity 3a, 3b
Objectives: to raise PP awareness o f the increasing importance o f English for their lives whatever their job; to read for specific information PP think about what job they would like to do and then see if it is in one o f the areas mentioned in the table. Tell them that if it is not, they can ask you for help. Try to think of reasons why every job might need English, e.g. farmers want to find out about the latest methods, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. and many reports are in English. For example Israel is a leading country in growing crops in desert conditions similar to
Uzbekistan’s. Israeli reports are written in English.
