Introduction: Professions

It’s a bit cliché but still so true. ‘Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.’ In the dialogue, you’ll hear a school teacher trying to teach professions to students.

Please try to answer the following questions by listening to the dialogue:

  • How does the teacher describe what lawyers do (in Turkish)?
  • What does one student want to be? Why?
  • Note down the name of the professions mentioned in the dialogue and try to describe what they do in Turkish.
