Hello everybody! 

We've just finished unit 1! Now it's time for you to do the task for this unit (TA01). I invite you to check
the instructions below and remember that if you need to review a topic, you can always check the
course material as many times as you need. Keep in mind that you have to present this task during
week 3.

1. Unit outcome

Unidad 1: Jobs and education

Logro de aprendizaje: Al finalizar la unidad, el estudiante explica su elección de carrera para

determinar sus retos utilizando gramática y vocabulario pertinentes.

2. Lesson outcome 
At the end of the lesson, you and your team have a conversation about what you are studying, your
goals and ambitions by using want and would like to, and vocabulary from unit 1. Record yourselves
in a 3-5-minute video.

 
3. Description
Step 1: 
Get together with a partner or a group of three.
Think of your college major. Each of you should write a list of important skills for your career
field and your ambitions using would like to/want.

Step 2:  
Now that each of you has a list, create a conversation talking about your studies, skills, and
ambitions.

members of the group. 
Example:  
A: Hey friend! What are you doing? 
B: Hello there, I’m designing a plan to finish all my activities for the weekend. It is
important to be methodical to succeed. 
A: You are right, especially when you are a civil engineer. You also need technical and
interpersonal skills. 
B: Yes, after I graduate, I would like to work in a construction company. 
A: What company would you like to work for? 
B: …
Step 3:
After you finish creating your dialog, practice it to check your pronunciation and intonation.

4. Considerations to record the video

Before recording the video
Work in pairs or groups of three.
Keep in mind the time you have for the task.
Use the grammar and vocabulary you have studied during the week.
Avoid using translators and make sure your ideas are coherent.
Practice your pronunciation, intonation, and vocalization.
Use a quiet place to record your conversation.
At the moment of recording the video
Show yourselves to the camera in a close-up or medium shot, without covering your face.
Avoid recording yourselves in the shadows or giving your back to the light.
Greet your audience and introduce yourselves at the beginning of the video.
Use correct pronunciation, intonation, and vocalization.
Use the correct volume of voice, it should be neither too high nor too low.
Use body language and show interest when listening to your partners.
Avoid reading your conversation.
Use the time allotted for the task.
Finish the video by saying goodbye to your audience.
