2. Vocabulary
? Ex. 2 introduces the active vocabulary of the lesson. Ss can easily guess the meaning of the majority of the words and collocations through the word-building elements (e.g. backbreaking, to work from home) and similarity with the ones in their native language (prestigious, monotonous). With more challenging words (flexible hours) encourage a proactive approach: have Ss ask you questions to find out or clarify their meaning. The mode of work depends on your Ss. It’s OK if they can’t agree about some points like to work full time or to work part-time as it depends on the circumstances.
? Ex. 3a Read Kevin’s story about his job. Are there more advantages or disadvantages to his job?
? Ex. 3b focuses on the meaning of the vocabulary. Ss do the task individually, compare the results in pairs, then in fours. Finally, they report the words they all agreed about. Discuss the difficult/ dubious places as a class.
? Ex. 3c Would you like to be a barista? Why/ Why not?
? Ex. 4a Listen to a flight attendant talking about her job. What are its advantages and disadvantages? (Ss are listening to the text)
I wanted to be a flight attendant for years before the opportunity ever presented itself. I wanted to travel, and see the world – and it’s pretty rare to find a profession in which one would be paid to do so. My friends and acquaintances ask what it’s really like, and how to go about becoming a flight attendant. Well, I’ve decided to make this video and tell you about the benefits and setbacks of this profession.
The first advantage is obvious: you fly anywhere for free. Sometimes you’ll pay a small tax depending on the country you visit if it’s for pleasure. If you’re working the flight, though – you’re paid to see places and your lodging is taken care of. It’s a great chance to see the world and visit friends. Moreover, it’s one of the most culturally diverse jobs. You can meet and befriend other flight attendants of every nationality. I’ve learned so much about other countries and cultures because I get to spend time with some really interesting people. I’ve had some really fascinating and delightful passengers. They are the type of people you want to know better, and it’s a little sad when they leave the plane. It’s never boring. The airline industry is constantly evolving and changing and growing. You’re never flying with the same people, you’re going to different places, there’s never a typical day. Sometimes the tasks can become monotonous, but your passengers are never the same. You can even meet celebrities. Maybe a lot of people don’t care about that, but I think it keeps things fun. Doesn’t all of that sound awesome?
A lot of it is – but to be fair, I cannot only present it with rose-colored glasses. It can be really, really hard. It’s important to know both sides of the coin.
One of the disadvantages to being a flight attendant is that you have to say goodbye to holidays (for a while at least). Spending Christmas in a hotel by yourself is never going to be easy. Last year I was in Oregon for Thanksgiving, California for Christmas, and Florida for New Year’s.
Another unpleasant thing is that your plans will always change. Consider every factor that goes into traveling. Your day and schedule will change with the weather. You may think you’re going to make it home for dinner, but your plane might have a mechanical issue and you’ll get stuck in New York. I still hear horror stories from a couple of winters ago when people were stranded in New York for days because of the snow storms.
What is more, you miss a lot of what happens at home. I’ve missed so many birthdays, so many parties. I’ve missed visits from out of town family and friends because I’ve had to work. There’s something about flying out of town when you know you’re about to miss something great that just hurts a person’s heart. I’ve missed church more times than I can count, and I came pretty close to not having the time off that I needed for my own wedding.
This job is sometimes stressful as people can be mean. As flight attendants, we’re sometimes the only face of the airline people get to interact with. This can be great, but it can also be brutal. I’ve had passengers yell at me, throw their bags down in a tantrum, cuss about injustice, and make people cry.
Of course, this is barely scratching the surface – but I hope it gives you a better idea of what it’s like. I think it always sounds like a fun and glamorous job, and it is often rewarding – but it can be equally challenging.
? Ex. 4b Would you like to be a flight attendant? Why/Why not?
3. Grammar
? Do ex. 5 as a class. Draw Ss’ attention to the tense forms in the model (Conditional 1.)
? Ex. 6 is about Conditional 2. Allow Ss some time to write down a chain of sentences. Monitor the activity and provide help if needed.
4. Round-up
? Evaluate Ss’ performance. Assign homework.
