Unit 9 Future jobs
Task 1: Understanding Reading
In this lesson, we will explore the topic of future jobs. It is important to think about our future careers and what we want to achieve in life. By discussing and researching different job options, we can make informed decisions about our future paths.
1.1 Reading Comprehension
To start, let's enhance our reading comprehension skills by reading a passage about the future of jobs. This passage will provide us with valuable insights into the potential careers that may arise in the future. Pay close attention to the details and main ideas presented in the text.
The Future of Jobs
The world is rapidly changing, and with it, the types of jobs available to us. In the past, many jobs were centered around manual labor, such as farming and manufacturing. However, as technology continues to advance, we are seeing a shift towards more knowledge-based jobs.
In the future, new job roles are expected to emerge, such as virtual reality designers, sustainable energy engineers, and genetic counselors. These jobs will require specialized skills and knowledge in fields that are still developing.
It is also predicted that automation will play a significant role in our future jobs. Many routine tasks will be taken over by machines and artificial intelligence, freeing up human workers to focus on more complex and creative tasks. This means that individuals should consider developing skills that complement and go beyond what machines can do. 1.2 Vocabulary
Before moving forward, let's take a moment to familiarize ourselves with some key vocabulary related to future jobs. These words will be useful
as we delve deeper into this topic.
1. Virtual reality: the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment
2. Sustainable energy: energy obtained from sources that are not
depleted with use, such as solar or wind power
3. Genetic counselors: professionals who provide guidance and support to individuals or families who may be at risk of genetic disorders
By understanding these vocabulary words, we can better comprehend the concepts discussed in the text and expand our overall knowledge of
future jobs.
Task 2: Discussion
Now that we have read the passage and learned some new vocabulary, let's engage in a discussion about future jobs. Working in pairs or small groups, discuss the following questions:
1. Which future job mentioned in the passage interests you the most? Why?
2. Do you think automation will have a positive or negative impact on
our future jobs? Why?
3. What skills do you believe will be most valuable for future professionals?
During the discussion, try to provide detailed answers and support your opinions with examples or personal experiences.
Task 3: Presentation
To conclude this lesson, we will have a presentation session where each group or pair will share their discussion outcomes. Prepare a brief presentation highlighting the main points of your discussion, including the most interesting future job, the impact of automation, and the
skills required for future professionals. Be confident, clear, and concise during your presentation.
Remember, the aim of this task is to reflect on the passage, engage in meaningful discussion, and practice your presentation skills. Let's embrace the opportunities that future jobs hold for us and strive to make a difference in the world!
