WARM-UP AND VOCABULARY

The worksheet mainly focuses on speaking. Firstly, there is a warm-up exercise. This is a short general discussion on the idea of career breaks. Next, students move to two tasks on vocabulary which appears in the speech. The first one is a definition-matching exercise. Students need to match words and phrases from the box with their meanings. Then, in the second task, students have to complete the gaps in questions with some of the words from the previous exercise. After that, they work in pairs and try to answer questions around career breaks.

VIDEO AND DISCUSSION

Then, students need to watch the video in which the speaker is talking about a career break and how to come back to work after it. Students have to find answers to 7 comprehension questions. Finally, the last task is again a short discussion. In pairs, students have to decide whether they agree or disagree with the statements in the exercise.

Questions

Title separator

Is there a minimum subscription period if I choose a monthly subscription?

No, there's no minimum required number of subscription months. You can cancel any time you want. Basically, you can sign up and then cancel your subscription the next day, which will mean you have access for 1 month and won't be charged again.

What currencies can I pay in for my subscription?

Our default currency is USD (American dollar), but you can also pay in EUR (euro), GBP (British pound sterling) or PLN (Polish zloty). You can change the currency you want to pay in at the Pricing page before selecting a subscription plan.

How can I edit an e-lesson plan?

You can get your own editable copy of an e-lesson plan and make changes to it. To do so, either (1) make a copy of it on your Google Drive (preferable method) or (2) download it in a Powerpoint format (but formatting might be a bit off so we can’t guarantee that it will work well).
