Final project - A speech
You are going to record yourself making a 3-minute speech about your opinion on future ways of working.
Look back over the theme and make notes about ideas.
Structure your speech. For example:
Introduction: What are you going to say?
Main points: Are you in favour of the gig economy? What advantages are there?
How has it helped people?
Disadvantages: What are the negative points of this way of working?
What other ways of working are there? (Advantages/disadvantages)
Consider the number of jobs that you might have, what other factors might influence your choice of job (if you have children, you may choose to freelance from home rather than pay for child care – but you will have to gain sufficient experience for that (or not? what do you think?)
Conclusions: your view of how you will be working when you are 30.
Language tips: try to reuse new words from this theme and also the grammar points about inversions and a good range of the future tenses.
