I'm (not) sure (of it).

1. An English proverb says: "When a friend asks, there is no tomorrow". You will certainly do everything for your friend or comrade when he is in need of help. What are the situations in which help must be given as soon as it is asked for? (When something cannot be done without outside help; when it is impossible to put off a job till tomorrow; when the interests of the collective come first; when you promised to do something.)

2. One of your classmates said, "My friend and I go about everywhere together". What else must they do to be good friends?

INTERESTING JOBS

Tell. Ask. Discuss.

Try to use the following:

I am afraid it is so.

Not likely.

Sorry, (I'm afraid) I don't know.

1. Do you know what kind of work your parents do? What can you say about it? Do you want to follow your father's or your mother's profession? Why? Have you decided to choose a different profession? Why?

2. What profession may a schoolgirl choose after finishing school if she always helps younger pupils at games or lessons? Do you think she would like to be a teacher? Explain why you think so.

3. You will do a great thing if you decide now what to do after you finish school. As an English proverb goes, "A good beginning is half the battle." Discuss what will be your main task at school till you leave it. (To learn the subjects in the school programme; to read about the future trade; to try to get professional training at a factory (on a collective farm); to take an active part in school life.)

4. Tell your classmate what you would or would not like to be some day: a shoemaker, a turner, a pilot, a teacher, a tractor driver, a builder, a fitter, a dress­maker, an engineer. Why?

5. An English proverb says, "A bad workman always blames his tools". Give example showing how and why some pupils "blame their tools". What would you advise them to do? (To get more practice in doing things; to try to do well what they have to do; to learn how to use different tools; to ask other people to show them how to do something.)

6. Here is another English proverb: "Who likes not his business his business likes not him." How do you understand this proverb? Does it mean that all jobs should be taken seriously? How does one learn to love a profession? Should you improve your profession skill and work well?
