Teacher (T): Good afternoon, dear boys and girls! Good afternoon, dear guests! We’re glad to see you in our intellectual competition-jeopardy “Work worry”. You will soon think about your future job and then about work, and today we will talk about professions, education and so on.
T: It’s said that money makes the world go round. But wealth is not the only treasure in our life. It’s more important to have creativity and highly developed intellect. So let’s prove that intelligence makes the world go round.
T: Five players will take part in a game to prove that they are the best, the most quick-witted, the cleverest. Let’s meet our players...
T: To answer the question “Who’s the best?”, our players will answer our questions and earn as many points as possible.
But first let me introduce the jury...
