Months & Jobs Level 2
Introduction
Have you ever thought about how months are connected to different jobs and family roles? Understanding months helps us know the seasons, holidays, and even what jobs are popular at different times of the year. In this article, we will explore the twelve months, their significance, and how they relate to various jobs that people perform throughout the year.
Definition and Concept
Months are the divisions of a year, and there are twelve of them: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December. Each month has its own characteristics, holidays, and events that can influence different jobs.
Family Roles:
- Each family member may have different responsibilities based on their roles, such as parents, children, and grandparents.
- Jobs can also relate to family roles, where parents might work in agriculture while children are in school.
Historical Context or Origin
The concept of months dates back to ancient civilizations that used lunar cycles to track time. The Roman calendar, which included the twelve months we use today, was established around 45 BC by Julius Caesar. Over time, these months have been associated with various agricultural, cultural, and religious events that shape our understanding of jobs and roles throughout the year.
