sidelined women in business world

30 03 2007

The subject of our lesson today was;

a discussion about women in the world of work,

a reading text from the British broadsheet newspaper,

functions of passive voice,

vocabulary.

I am upset to remember, the sidelined position of women in our country.Of course we have several powerful women in business world like Güler SABANCI, but they are only in a few amount.

What we studied today

23 03 2007

Today in our lesson we studied some vocabulary and making questions about personal information.

  • To ask about:
  • Nationality: where are you from?
  • Age: How old are you?
  • Family: Is your family a big family? How many children do you have?
  • Job: What is your job? Or, What do you do?
  • Type of company: What type of company is your company?
  • Wife’s or husband’s name: What is your husband’s name?

We also studied nationalities and countries.

For example: Brazilian (I am Brazilian) and the country; Brazil (I am from Brazil).

We studied the verb “Be” and the negative form: I’m not Chinese.

We did lots of practice asking these questions in class, so we practiced speaking.

Last week we learned some work vocabulary:

  • accountant
  • finance
  • marketing
  • manager
  • technician
  • engineer
  • cashier
  • production
  • director
  • doctor
  • telephone operator
  • human resources (HR)
  • receptionist
  • lawyer
  • sales assistant
  • personal assistant
  • acquisitions support

Finally we are going to register with this blog and leave a comment and ask for a password for the EF online learning materials.
