Vocabulary review.

Procedure: Write a list of about ten jobs on the board. Each
student writes down a list of ten ideas, feelings, memories, etc. he
or she associates with one of the jobs listed. (The name of the job
referred to must not be included.)
For example, here is a list of associations with a job given in the
first line of the BOX:
poor, expensive, colour, canvas, pain, joy, brush, smell,
country, friends.
Each idea must be described by a single word. The students then
work in pairs, and each student studies his or her neighbour's list
and tries to guess which job the list refers to. The student then
confirms or rejects the guess and explains why he or she put each
word in the list; the connection may not always be obvious. For
example:

Artist: the words without an obvious connection are, perhaps,
'smell' (smell of the oil paint), 'country' (painting in the country),
'friends' (friends who are artists).

BOX: Match the people
actor/actress/architect/artist/baker/businessperson/butcher/
chemist/clerk/cook/dancer/dentist/doctor/driver/factory
worker/farmer/footballer/grocer/policeman/policewoman/
postman/postwoman/seaman/secretary/singer/teacher/vet/
waiter/waitress/writer

of the new words and to suggest a word they know which it
reminds them of in some way. Write this 'reminding word' on the
other side of the board. Having written the 'reminding word', erase
