SPEAKING B1B2C1-IELTS

WORK
1. What do you do? For the past few months I’ve been working for Thanh Nien newspaper as a news editor. In fact this is my first job ever, I’m working really hard to contribute to the success of this prestigious newspaper. 2. What are your responsibilities?
As a part-time editor, I am responsible for editing news related to different current affairs as well as collecting information for the newspaper edition. 3. Why did you choose to do that type of work (or, that job)? I guess it’s mainly because of the job flexibility & my passion for journalism. To be more specific, this job offers me alternatives to the typical nine-to-five work schedule, enabling me to find a better balance between work and life. Besides, this job gives me opportunities to pursue my dream to become a journalist down the road. 4. Is there some other kind of work you would rather do? At present, I don’t think I’m able to dedicate myself to any other job rather than this one. In fact, to me it’s the experiences and opportunities I can gain that really matters.
5. Do you enjoy your work?
Most of the time. Contributing to the news production for a prestigious newspaper gives me a sense of satisfaction and pride. 6. What do you like/dislike about your job? Well the perk of being a news editor is that you’ll surround yourself with inspiring news on a daily basis. What I don’t like about this job is that I have to do a thousand edits to get the final one to meet the requirement of my boss. Sometimes I feel a bit overloaded with tons of tasks.
 STUDY
1. Are you a student or are you working? I’m currently a senior at ABC University, which is one of the top schools in the nation. Admission is incredibly competitive so I’m very proud of being a student here. 2. What are you studying? Well, I’m majoring in Accountancy, so as you can guess, I deal a lot with numbers and figures day in, day out. It can be overwhelming at times, but I’d like to think that I have a knack for mathematics and calculations so it’s okay. 3. Why did you choose to study that major? There are many reasons for my choice. As I’ve already explained about my long-term interest in Accountancy, another reason could be because of accountancy itself, since I’ve found my personalities have changed in a positive way, you know, like I’ve become more patient and skillful. 4. What’s the most difficult part of your study? Well, for the most part, I’d say it’s the workload. I mean there are so many assignments and students are always under a lot of pressures from deadlines. But on the other hand, exams are a piece of cake. They are quite predictable, and I can pretty much breeze through them with a bit of revision. 5: What do you like most about your school? I guess the aspect I find most enjoyable is the environment. I mean, I get to study in English-speaking classrooms and the facilities are top-notch; I mean, all the classrooms are air-conditioned and equipped with projectors. My friends and teachers are all very nice as well, so all in all it’s a great place to study.
HOUSING/ACCOMMODATION
1. What kind of housing/accommodation do you live in?
For the past 21 years I have lived in a house with my family. And I think if I can move out and start making a living on my own, I would try my best to have an independent place where I can plan and design a house layout to suit myself since sharing a room or a flat with strangers sounds so troublesome to me. 2. What do you usually do in your house/flat/room? Well definitely I’ll spend some me-time there. I study, I chill out by reading, drawing and dancing all by myself. Sometimes I also invite one or two friends to spend time with. We’ll watch some movies together and tell each other endless stories. 3. Who do you live with? I live with my family. There are 5 of us and we all have our own room, which is way more comfortable as the older we grow, the more privacy we need for ourselves. I think our house is big enough for us yet still a warm and cozy place that I call home. 4. How long have you lived there? Although during my childhood my family had to move a lot, I’ve lived in the most recent house for almost ten years. Comparing to the old houses, I think this house has been the best so far. 5. Do you plan to live there for a long time? The
