 IELTS Speaking example

I’m going to talk about my sister who is the most energetic person I’ve ever known. She is working as an event planner at a famous company in Ho Chi Minh City. She also has her part-time job as a yoga teacher. She’s always full of beans and the smile is always on her lips. Every day, she gets up at 5 a.m and starts her day with 1 hour of yoga and meditation. She always has self-made healthy breakfast with fruit smoothies and veggies. Her job requires multitasking and creativity and she also has to move from place to place during the day. After work, she goes to the yoga center where she works part-time and does not come home until 10 p.m. Even though she has a long day’s work, she’s never tired or shows that she loses her energy. Besides, she’s always in a good mood. Even when she faces the biggest problem in her life, she still keeps a positive attitude. She’s always the life and soul of the party. Her energy and enthusiasm makes people happy and motivated when being with her. I’m grateful that I am her younger sister. She gives me a lot of inspiration to work harder and maintain a positive mindset. Whenever I have difficulties, she always encourages me not to give up and thanks to her kind words, I become a better version of myself every day.

IELTS Speaking Part 3 Example

Gợi ý: physical activities (hoạt động thể chất), maintain enthusiasm (duy trì sự nhiệt huyết)

Well, I think the jobs in which people have to do a lot of physical activities or talking with customers all the time require a lot of energy. Besides, being a teacher also requires people to have a high level of energy. I myself am a teacher, so I always have to maintain my enthusiasm. Because whenever I show that I’m tired or not active, my lessons are boring and not interactive.

2. Do you think manual work will all be done by machines in the future?

Gợi ý: on the rise (ngày càng tăng), save time and energy (tiết kiệm thời gian và công sức), unskilled people (người không có chuyên môn)

Yes, for sure. Using machines for physically demanding work is on the rise. Just take household chores as a simple example: Instead of washing clothes or dishes by hand, now we have a washing machine and dishwasher to complete those tasks. Using machines helps people save time and energy, but when it comes to jobs, I believe a lot of manual jobs will disappear in the future, and many unskilled people may be unemployed.

3. Do you anticipate that manual laborers will command higher wages in the future?

Suggestion: Be highly valued, a substantial workload, face unemployment

I hold a different viewpoint. As previously stated, automation is gradually supplanting human workers in manual tasks, consequently, the value attributed to manual labor may diminish over time. Employers will favor automated systems capable of managing a substantial workload more efficiently than humans. Consequently, manual laborers might even face unemployment if their tasks can be performed more effectively by machines.
