Future Dreams — My Plan for a Future Career

About this lesson

This unit focuses on future career dreams and plans. It opens with a pre-reading question asking students about their dream job and reasons. The main reading text is a first-person narrative by Omar, an 11-year-old boy, who describes his ambition to become a doctor to help people, his need for education and training, and his determination to work hard to achieve his goals. Following the text, there are comprehension exercises: multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, and a vocabulary-matching task that defines phrases like 'achieve goals' and 'dream' based on bold words in the text. The unit also introduces the concept of collocations (verb + noun and adjective + noun) with examples like 'have a good job' and 'match talent', and provides practice in completing sentences with appropriate collocations. By the end, students should be able to discuss future career aspirations, understand related vocabulary, and use common collocations in context.
