LESSON OVERVIEW

In this lesson students talk about different types of workers described in the article, discuss some questions about motivations, and learn vocabulary to explain what motivates them at work.

B2 / Upper Intermediate30 minCritical Reading ClubUnlimited Plan

This is a Critical Reading Club worksheet. With this format, students need to read an online article at home and do the exercises in the classroom. Learn more about how to use such worksheets and their benefits in our post.

ACTIVITIES

In the warm-up activity, students think about the jobs they have had and what made them good or bad. Then, they do a vocabulary task in which they need to complete gaps with words in the box (e.g. priority, fulfilled, value, rely). They also decide which statements from the previous task best describe their professional motivations. After that, students talk about the six types of worker described in the article using some tips and what they remember from the article. Finally, they discuss which types of worker are suitable for different professions, and whether the idea of ‘a good job’ has changed in recent years.

    Hi. I have some doubts about the preposition used in one of the sentences in this material. There is a sentence that ends with “relevant for me” (slides 7 and 9), but as far as I know the one and only preposition after “relevant” is “to”. ?

      Hi Betty! ‘Relevant’ can either be followed by ‘for’ or ‘to’. See some examples here.

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).
