    1. Introduction: In preparation for a Careers Fair the organisers are looking


    to invite TWO guest speakers from the world of work. To help them make
    their choice, you and your partner have been asked to decide which two
    of the following professions make the biggest contribution to society:
    Doctors | Writers | Politicians | Teachers | Scientists | Journalists | Artists

    2. Planning: Spend a few minutes thinking about which of the professions


    you rate more highly than others and why. However, be prepared to
    change your mind later in the face of persuasive arguments!

    3. Task focus: Work with your partner to reach agreement rather than
    simply arguing for your own choices. Ask your partner for his/her
    opinions, using open-ended questions to encourage full answers:
    Why Where What Tell me How
    Use some of the role play expressions on the left to show interest in or to
    respond to comments your partner makes.

    4. Language: Tick any of the language on the left you want to use to present
    your case. Write down some of your own.

    rapidly losing altitude .... rescue teams
    ready ...
    The seven professions above each have a representative in one hot air
    balloon, which is losing altitude very quickly! Only two professions can be
    saved five must be handed a parachute and ejected!

    Listen to Ekaterina and


    Lachesara from Bulgaria
    talking on a similar

    Work in groups and choose one of the professions to support. Make sure
    each group has a different profession. Plan a 1-2 minute presentation
    outlining why your person should be allowed to stay in the balloon. Then
    nominate one person from your group to stand up and deliver the
    presentation.
    Finally, hold a class vote to see which two professions remain in the
    balloon.
