My Dream Job

Choosing the best job for us is an important decision in our lives. Think that you are going to be doing it for almost 40 years and this is HALF OF YOUR LIFE!! So, it is a good idea to take your time and think about it. Maybe these tips can help you:

  • If you don't love your job, you won't be good enough for it.
  • If you don't enjoy your job, your life will be miserable
  • Sometimes money talks, but it's not the most important thing in life
  • We work for a living, we don't live for working
  • Even if you like it, working is a divine punishment (enjoy your free time too)
Taking these into account, what is your dream job? can you describe and explain why do you like it? Write about it in your blogs.

Body idioms

An idiom is a a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words. That means that sometimes it is not easy for us, as learners, to know what they mean exactly. Some other times idioms may lead to funny situations if we take the literal meaning as the real one.

Learning idioms is very useful, we just need to be creative to make the task a bit easier.



  1. Choose a body idiom and draw a picture containing the literal meaning to explain the figurative meaning, as you can see in the examples above. 
  2. Upload your image to your blog to help your classmates to learn it. 
  3. Comment on a classmate blog
