We resumed classes after a very nice holiday. Everybody in this group went somewhere. Students started the lesson asking each other:

Did you go anywhere for the holiday?

And they all answered: Yes, I went to... ( the beach, Granada,Toledo, my village, and so on).

We continued learning about jobs. First, students had 2 minutes to make a list of all the jobs they remembered. Next we were talking about jobs. First, we practiced the question: What do you do? to find out about somebody's job. The second question we learned was: What does a (secretary, mechanic, etc.) do?

Students picked a job and and had to find their job description. Then everybody had to interview everybody else and write the answers in a chart.

We learned the following verbs to describe jobs: cook, serve, shave, repair, teach, drive, help, manage, work.

Students held conversations like this:

What do you do?

I am a chef.

What does a chef do?

A chef cooks meals ( or food) in a restaurant.

The verb tense we are using is the Present Simple. When we ask questions we need to use the auxiliary do or when the subject is a 3^rd singular person: he, she or it, we use does. When we answer the question, if the the subject is a 3^rd singular person: he, she or it, we add an -s or sometimes -es.

Students did an excellent job is this activity.

Later they practiced job descriptions completing a worksheet. They had to match jobs with their descriptions.

Finally we were reading a play-script, but we agreed that it's a bit difficult so we are going to try another one.
