Student Sample: Stage B1 Standard Video 1  

Okay children, we looked at this book this morning, now we’re going to look at it this afternoon and you’re going to try to do some reading from it, okay?  What’s the title of this book please?  Have a look.  What’s the title?

Ali?

“My Job.”

It does say ‘My Job’:  well done Ali, yeah.  

“What’s My Job?”

Oh.

“What’s My Job?”  No, what you said was fine Ali, but the whole title is “What’s My Job?”  And the author’s name is down the bottom, and the author’s name is Wendy Blaxland.  So she wrote the story and the story is going to be about this:  What’s My Job?  Okay, now you two boys have to share, share.  Shah, you have this one yourself.  Did I hear ‘thank you’?  

[together] Oh, thank you Miss.

Oh, I should think so.  Okay, don’t forget to let [0:01:10.4] look on too please, alright?  Alright, let’s turn into the first page.  Have a look at this Shah, this one here.  Shah?  This one.  What can you see in the picture?  What do you think this man up the top is with his white hat and his white coat on?  And you should know Tom.

Cook.

A cook or a…?

Baker.

…a baker.  And what about this lady in here please?  Alireza?

A dancer.

A dancer.  Oh, what about this person down the bottom?  Have a look at him.  Let this girl look please, both look.  This one here.

He works under the ground.  Can you remember what we called him?  It stated with an ‘M’, mmm.

Mmm…

Mine…

Mine.

Men.

Oh, nearly right.

Miner

Nearly right, he’s a miner:  everyone say it.

[together] Miner.

Miner.

I am a cook.  I move my hand and fist to music.  What my job?

Mm-hm, turn over.  What about you?  

A teacher.

A teacher, and what about you Naita?

Dancer.

Huh?

Dancing.

A dancer?  Right now that book was all about the different people in our community and the jobs that they do, and here I’ve got some names of some of the people and we’re going to try and read both parts of the sentences so that we can match them up so that we can put them together and it makes sense, alright?  Now your job is, you have to think about what these four people do and we’re going to look here at the sentence and see if we can match it up with the name of the person in the community.  So let’s have a look at this one.  Van?

Make beautiful music.

Makes beautiful music.  Go and see, which do you think?  Put it next to it so it makes a whole sentence, on the floor.  Now can you read the whole thing please?

Musician:  Make beautiful music.

Absolutely.  Lovely reading, thank you Van.  What’s this one please?  

Before…

A nurse look after sick people.

Okay, what’s this one, all of this word?

Looks.

Yeah, don’t forget to say the sound on the end, will you, otherwise it doesn’t sound right.  Okay, yeah.

A pilot flies flame.

P, p, p, p.

Planes.

Planes.  What’s this one?  

Mechanic fixes your car.
