Saturday 25 September, 2010: A2 Class

In this lesson, we talked about jobs and qualities that people need to have to do certain jobs, and then we used phrases to talk about jobs.

Qualities:
intelligent --> smart
brave --> not afraid
physically fit --> strong
calm --> not excitable, very steady and even
reliable --> people can count on you; if you say you will do something, you actually do it
friendly --> kind, caring, interested in other people, makes many friends
patient --> able to wait a long time

creative --> create (make) new things (such as artists, musicians, dancers, writers, etc)

skilful --> very skilled (good) at something
caring --> interested in the welfare of other people

The jobs we discussed in this lesson were:
bank clerk, waiter, writer, hairdresser, bodyguard, mechanic, firefighter, graphic designer, teacher, doctor
