2021年9-12月 雅思口语 Part 1 Topic 1 Work 工作 (常考题）

1. Why did you choose to do that type of work?

I chose to go into publishing as my profession. The reason why I chose this type of work is that I have a real love of language and literature. Therefore, I wanted to work in an area which would allow me to work around the things I love. Moreover, publishing is a very stable job and can be quite lucrative (赚钱的）in the long term，so I think it is a good idea for my fixture prospects.

2.Is it interesting?

Personally, I think it is a very interesting job. The reason why I believe this is I have access to many different and interesting people through the job, all of whom are skilled writers or artists. Therefore, I find my job very exciting on some days. However, not every day is exciting and sometimes my job is mainly administration work and these days can be very boring.

3. Do you miss being a student?

Sometimes I miss being a student because it was a very different sort of life. As a student, I had more freedom to explore what I found interesting and exciting. Nowadays, I must follow and explore what is good for the company in the work place and not only my own desires. Which means occasionally I must do things which I am not very interested in. At moments like this, I miss being a student.

4. Do you like your job?

Yes, I really like my job. It is not only that I find the work inspiring and interesting, I also have a very good relationship with everyone I work with in the company. People in my company are very funny and kind. So, being surrounded by them makes it difficult to dislike my job. I would work happily with this publishing company until the day I retire.
