What do you want to be?

There are a lot of JOBS that we can do, but do you know what do you want to be?
Read the text and filling the gaps. Some clue.... The surnames sounds as the jobs...


Nigel Naylor, he´s a __________, he makes trousers, suits and shirts.
Penny Proctor, she´s a __________, comes to see you when it hurts.
Peter Palmer, he´s a ___________, he´s got cows and pigs and sheep.
Wendy Witter, ____________, minds the kids when they´re asleep.

People work in the country people work in the town.

People work day and night to make the world go round.

Mabel Meacher, language __________, teaches English, French and Greek.
Gary Gummer, he´s a ___________, call him when you’re got a leak.
Patty Prentice, she´s a ___________, keeps your teeth both clean and white.
Ronnie Ryman, he´s a ___________, comes when there´re a fire to fight.

People work in the country people work in the town.

People work day and night to make the world go round.



Now, listen this song, pay attention and you will know the answer!

  1. Hello Noelia!

    I like this activity.
    What I liked most is to put paragraphs in different colors to differentiate the parts of the song. Besides this way is much more acttractive. I have two questions. The activity works a particular topic? or simply a song to work listening and writing? Thank you and congratulations on the blog.

  2. Hello Ixa!!!
    It´s easy... Both!!! I want the students to learn the topic about jobs, and the improve their lisrtening and writing skills. I thought it could be a tasks for mixing them.

  3. Hello Noelia,
    When I first saw your blog I really liked the colors and I immediately felt like reading it.
    The song is not complicated to listen to and I think children will like it. I was just wondering if students are supposed to know the names of the jobs before listening to the song or they haver to wait till the end to see the spelling?
    Congratulations, it's very nice!

  4. Hi Paula!! Some of the names of jobs are known for the children, but, others no. If we use this video in class you can explain the jobs that they don´t know, and wacht the video afterwards. It depends on the teacher!!! ;)
