Speaking Activity: Describing Jobs

(TESOL Worksheets--speaking)
[These activities were designed for students who had to describe their dream job for their end-of-term speaking test.  But I think it can stand on it's own as just an independent speaking activity as well.
As with every worksheet I make, time was a factor. (I only had one hour to get this thing ready before class.)  So I re-used the same jobs and the same PowerPoint from a previous activity on jobs I had done--Google Drive, Slides, Pub.  To this, I added another PowerPoint presentation for the new activities--Google Drive, Slides, Pub.  And a set of cards for the "Grab the Card" game--Google Drive, Docs, Pub.  And a "Guess my DreamJob" Mingle Worksheet--Drive, Docs, Pub.









zookeeper
doctor
police officer
teacher
nurse
shop clerk
door to door salesman
chef
boss
thief
king
rock star
farmer
flight attendant
samurai
preacher
artist





Write down 5 sentences describing your dream job. Don’t write the name of your dream job. Also, don’t write the words similar to the name of the job. For example, if the job is “artist”, don’t write the word “art”.  If the job is “teacher”, don’t write the word” teach”.















Next, walk around the room.  Read these five sentences to your classmates.  Could they guess your job or not?
classmate name
Could they guess my dream job?
classmate name
Could they guess my dream job?
