2021年9-12月 雅思口语 Part 3 Topic 33无聊经历（9-12月新题）

1. Why do people get bored?

People normally get bored when they have nothing to do or they have to do a mundane and repetitive task. So for example, people often get bored when the weather is very bad and they cannot leave the house. If they are trapped inside with nothing fun to do it can be a very boring experience. However, people may also get bored while doing an activity. For example, sewing is a very repetitive activity so many people find mending clothes to be extremely boring.

2. Why are people less interested in reading books nowadays?

I think people are less interested in reading books nowadays because modem people have short attention spans and get distracted easily. There are so many ways to achieve instant gratification nowadays that people do not have the patience for reading books. It is much easier to get instant pleasure by watching videos on the internet or by scrolling through social media. Therefore, people have lost the desire to read books as this takes too much time and effort.

3. Are all the boring jobs going to be done by robots in the future?

There are many who believe that all the boring jobs are going to be done by robots in the future and I agree that this may be quite likely. Science and technology are rapidly developing and AI is becoming *arter and more advanced every day. Therefore, it is becoming easier and more cost effective to program robots to perform boring and menial jobs. As these developments continue it is going to become economically unjustifiable to employ people to these jobs in the future.

4. Why do some people choose boring jobs?

Most people choose to do boring jobs either because they are well paid or because they do not have any other choice. There are many boring jobs which nobody wants to do, such as working in sewers and plumbing. However, these jobs need to be done so they often offer high salaries so that people will choose to do them. Yet, sometimes, people simply do not have the choice and will do low paying boring jobs because they do not have the education or experience to do anything else.
