Help your B1 students speak confidently about jobs and careers with this engaging, video-based ESL lesson.

Built around the authentic video A Day in the Life of a Server, this lesson develops students’ ability to describe job responsibilities, discuss essential skills, and talk about the advantages and disadvantages of different careers.

Students begin by predicting the content, then watch the video to understand the speaker’s daily role before analysing useful vocabulary and functional language. They reinforce the target language through guided interviews, role-plays, and communicative speaking activities, finishing with a discussion about their own career preferences and experiences.

In this lesson, students will:

• Describe job responsibilities and daily tasks

• Talk about the skills needed for different professions

• Discuss the pros and cons of various jobs

• Build confidence through structured speaking practice

• Learn from authentic video content

Perfect for B1 adult and teenage learners, this ready-to-teach lesson requires minimal preparation and encourages meaningful communication throughout.
