LEARNING ACTIVITY 1

In Learning Activity 1, we will be learning report texts on jobs. Report text on jobs are usually posted
on job serach websites. These texts are made available to public to inform readers/viewers about the name
of profession, the tasks they have to do to perform the job, requirements or qualifications to fit the
position, and the benefits people will get if they choose career on a particular job.
In this activity, you will also learn how to analyze some report texts on jobs and construct report texts to
do with jobs. First, you will be exposed to some examples of report texts on jobs . From the examples,
you will analyze the elements that make up report texts on jobs and see how different structures are
employed to meet certain purposes from the texts. You will also learn the language to describe jobs and
work places to help you construct the report texts. Finally, you will gradually be guided to write report
texts to do with jobs.
