I этап:

 Teacher: Dear friends! Welcome to the English courses for young businessmen! We are going to talk about a company’s business activity today, as a result of our work, you’ll have an opportunity to use your knowledge in new situations. I’m far from imagining that all of you will become businessmen, but I believe that the knowledge of business vocabulary will be of some use in your future occupation and every day life. Where to work? Which of us hasn’t asked this question? And which of us has found an appropriate place or has already chosen a job?

It’s not easy, is it?

Pupils: (монологические высказывания учащихся).Ученики высказывают свое отношение к развитию бизнеса, карьеры.

Pupil I: It’s rather difficult sometimes to choose a career and to speak about the future profession. It’s because a lot may change in our life in a moment. There are lucky people who chose their profession in childhood and since that time have been doing everything possible to acquire proficiency. But they are few.

Pupil II: Who are you? If you are not indifferent to your future, while thinking about the future career you are to pay attention to a number of important things. You should determine your abilities and inclinations. You must know whether the profession you have chosen will guarantee good living conditions and give promotion. But also there are so many people who influence you in choosing your occupation. Parents and friends play a very important role in your choice.

Pupil III: Many roads open before us after school, but it is not easy to make the right choice. Of course, it is very important to choose a profession the suits your own interests and preferences.

As for me, I want to be a businessman.

A career is a wealthy life. It gives us power, respect and status in our community.
