This is followed by an activity of dividing the new challenging phrases among three categories which are "I would like a job like this", "I wouldn't mind a job like this", "I wouldn't like a job like this" so students will be exposed to the new vocabulary the will need in their productive task of speaking about jobs in order to arouse their need of the vocabulary required in a Test stage.
