IELTS Speaking Answers

7. What technology do you use at work/when you study?
I use a variety of applications for work. As I am currently working from home, I use Facebook and Google Mail to communicate with coworkers and customers and Zoom for team meetings. I also use many components of Microsoft Office, such as Word for creating promotional letters and invoices and PowerPoint for presentations, like every other office worker.

When I was studying at university, my laptop was essential. Instead of having physical notebooks and textbooks cluttering my workspace, I downloaded necessary materials in PDF form. For note-taking, I relied on Google Docs and Microsoft Word. I also used my laptop to take online classes through Skype. I wish I could use Zoom though, as it is more convenient, but it did not exist yet at that time.

8. What was your first day at school like?
I cannot recall any memories about my initial day at school, as it happened such a long time ago. However, I guess that I was like any other child, feeling anxious and scared, crying and yelling for my parents, and wondering why they left me alone with strangers. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for elementary school teachers to handle first-time students who are scared and emotional. It must be a real challenge.

I suppose that I must have acted like many other children on their first day, experiencing a sense of panic, bursting into tears, and shouting for their parents while questioning why they had left them alone with strangers. I can only imagine how challenging it must be for elementary school teachers to manage first-time students who are going through such an overwhelming experience. It is a true test of their patience and teaching abilities.

9. How much time do you spend studying every day?
During my university years, I was not particularly a diligent learner. I used to procrastinate my studies until a week before the exams, and I only spent around two to three hours revising each subject. That is why I got a mediocre performance at my university.

10. Does your major/study live up to your expectations?
Unfortunately, no. Most of my classes focused on too much on theoretical concepts that were not transferable to the workplace. When I started my first job, I had to be trained from the ground up on tasks, and the things I had learned in my major were of no help. I wish there were classes that could teach me practical knowledge and skills that would be applicable in the professional setting.
