Teaching notes

Twelve jobs, from nurse and teacher to mechanic and vet, each matched to what the person does at work. It's for A1–A2 learners practicing the present simple with he and she, where the verb takes -s: "A pilot flies planes."

Read each finished pair aloud as one sentence, then ask "What does a chef do?" and let learners answer without looking. In pairs, one learner describes a job and the other guesses it; stronger groups can add where the person works and what they wear. Finish by asking each learner which job they'd like and why. Play it live so everyone matches on their own phone, or print it as a worksheet.
