Google, the internet company, is well known for the perks it gives its employees. In pairs, research the benefits that people who work at Google receive.
Choose one perk offered by Google and present it to the rest of the class. Explain why you have chosen it and why/if it would be attractive to potential Google employees.
Once everyone has presented their choice of perk, evaluate them and discuss which one is the best. Are some perks more beneficial than others? Consider their financial value.
RESEARCH TIP: start by searching for ‘Google careers benefits’ on (where else?) Google!
NEEDS AND WANTS The income we receive allows us to pay for the things that we need and want.
• A need is something that we require for survival. For example, food and water. • A want is something that we would like but could live without. For example, a smartphone or a video game.
