To practise listening for specific information
To learn to talk about the major(s) you would like to choose
What Is a College Major
Your major is essentially the area of study in which you plan to specialize. Usually, your freshman and sophomore years are spent earning credits toward your general education classes. Things like math, science and English literature — courses you need to complete before declaring a major.
Tips for Choosing a College Major
There's no standard rule for how to choose a college major but there are some ways to narrow it down. If you're struggling to settle on a course of study, here are some tips for how to pick a major you'll be excited about.
Start with your interests.
Brainstorming can be a helpful way to choose a college major. Make a list of anything and everything you're passionate about.
Take stock of your abilities.
Next, make a second list of your skills. Then compare that list to your list of interests to see where they overlap.
Consider your career interests.
As a child, you were probably asked a million times what you wanted to be when you grew up.
Get insight from other college grads.
Another helpful tip for how to pick a major is talking to people who have already made the decision.
Research the long-term outlook.
You may also want to compare starting salaries for various careers to see which majors offer the highest pay.
Look at the pictures below. Discuss in pairs which university major each picture might show.
Bio-medical engineering ______ Computer game design ______
Cybersecurity ______ Data science ______
Public health ______ Robotics ______

According to the school’s careers advisor

I am against…
My reasons are as follows …
It’s natural to choose… However,…
Discuss these questions.
1 Do you agree with Olivia's parents when they say that a person's career might depend on what university they get into Why or why not
It depends upon the career. For a few highly specialised careers, getting into the right university is key. For many other careers, it does not matter which university you have been to, or even really what you have studied at university.
2 Do you agree that there is no point studying something that you like but you are not very good at Give your reasons.
Yes, because it serves no purpose. I might like listening to the piano and dream of being a concert pianist, but if I lack the talent, what is the point
Form a group of students with similar opinions on the questions in Activity 5, discuss in the group and list the reasons, and then debate in class.
A person’s career depends on what university they get into.

Expressing choices, wishes, intentions, and opinions
A: What major will you choose in university
B: I’m not really sure yet. My goal is to work at a large company, so I guess Business administration.
A: Are you sure that's a good choice Most of the people I know who are working at large companies majored in something else. And a lot of companies want employees with different education backgrounds, as they have different skills and points of view.
B: So, what would you suggest
A: Have you thought about history You love that subject.
