Procedure.

Introductory talk.

T: You know time flies and it won’t be long when you finish school. There will be some roads open before you to continue your education, to find a job, to join the army. It’s up to you to decide. Is it easy to choose future careers? Give your opinions.

( Pupils’ answers:

• it is not easy because there are so many professions.

• When choosing a profession we must think whether we are seriously interested in it.

• We must realize that not only one’s wishes and interests must be considered, but one’s health abilities, features of character and knowledge as well.

• We must make ourselves comfort in it.

T: You’re right. The limerick says:

If we could know which road to take,

If we were told which choice to make,

We wouldn’t need to hurry,

And nobody would worry,

Life would be just a piece of cake.
