Unit 11 – A Street Interview

A Street Interview

Talk about daily life at work and personal time

The unit presents the story of a person answering questions for a random survey concerning their work and holidays. The unit's objective is to familiarize students with the vocabulary and syntax necessary to hold a lower intermediate conversation about general work life and holidays.

Hours: Approximately 10 hours

Unit Objectives:

1. By the end of the unit, you should be able to:
   • Describe your daily work routine: how you get to work, the time needed to get to work, what you do, the number of vacation days, and what you do during your vacations.
   • Ask someone about their daily work routine: how they get to work, the time needed to get to work, what they do, the number of vacations, and what they do in their leisure time.
   • Describe someone else's work routine to a third party.
2. The topic explores the vocabulary needed to ask and answer questions about your daily work routine and that of others. For students to explore the language best suited to their professional life, guided exercises are paired with spoken activities to build terminology specific to each student. The exercises provide students with a general, lower-intermediate language required to ask and answer questions about work habits.
