What does 'odd job' mean?
It has two meanings.
Firstly, odd means unusual or strange, so the term could mean unusual job. Secondly, we use the term odd job idiomatically to mean ‘light work that needs to be done around the house’, such as fixing a loose door handle, unplugging the toilet or gardening. An odd jobs man is like a fix-it man who can be employed to do such work, but often people do this work themselves.
==================================
Ss learn about articles. The context is a reading where Ss read about different jobs.
They also learn vocabulary related to skills
and qualities. The lesson ends with a speaking activity in which Ss practise job interviews in pairs.

Er was eens de oude boer die het gans had dat elke dag de gouden ei legde. De ei leverde het boer genoeg op voor de comfortabel leven.
Op een dag had een boer de idee en dacht: "Waarom maar één ei per dag? Waarom kan ik niet alle eieren meteen krijgen?" Het domme boer sneed het buik van het gans open voor het overvloed aan gouden eieren. Hij vond niets. Een boer realiseerde zich dat hij de grote fout had gemaakt.

Once upon a time, an old farmer had a goose that laid a golden egg every day. The egg gave the farmer enough to live (-) comfortably.
One (-) day, the farmer had an idea and thought: "Why just one egg a day? Why can't I have all the eggs at once?" The foolish farmer cut the goose's stomach to get an abundance of golden eggs. He found nothing. The farmer realised he had made a huge mistake.
