IELTS Speaking Answers

4. What do you find most interesting about your work/job?
The most exciting aspect is that I can contribute to promoting Vietnamese culture by selling our traditional paintings overseas. I didn't realize that many foreigners from different parts of the world appreciate our paintings. Every time I successfully sell a painting, I feel proud and satisfied.
5. What is the most important quality of a co-worker/colleague?
To me, accountability is the most essential attribute. I want my co-workers to finish their tasks on time and not take regular time off, leaving their duties for others to handle. This way, I can focus on my own work and get off work after finishing my task.

6. Which matters to you more, the job itself or the people you work with?
In my opinion, the job itself is more significant than the coworkers. If my colleagues have a bad personality and are unpleasant to talk to, I can ignore them. If they neglect their work, I can address it by informing our managers. However, if the job itself is problematic, such as demanding tasks or insufficient rewards, there is little I can do to address that. I would have to rely on the managers, but it is unlikely that they will change the salary or tasks solely based on my preferences.

7. Have you ever changed your work before?
Yes, I have. During my university years, I took a full-time job during my summer breaks of university, and I had a different job during each of the breaks since my school had different locations for students of different years, but I wanted a job nearby.
8. Do you think you will change your job in the future?
Yes, I think so. I am planning to become an English teacher, and I have informed my manager that I will quit this September.
9. What was your first day at work like?
My first day of work was unique and different from that of other people. I work from home for a small company owned by my uncle. On my first day, I woke up around half an hour before my time for work and had a meal with my family, and then my uncle came to my house. He guided me through each task and was very patient, making it comfortable for me to ask questions. As a result, it was relatively easy for me to take on the job.
10. What do you want your company to improve?
I wish that the company could use high-quality pictures or videos to display the paintings on the website instead of the current low-resolution images, which do not accurately reflect the quality and beauty of the paintings. I believe this lack of visual appeal fails to encourage people to place orders.
11. What kind of jobs are popular in Vietnam
I believe that for younger generations, professions in the IT industry are very attractive. They have grown up immersed in digital technologies, giving them better computer literacy skills than older generations. Also, in Vietnam, the IT industry is rapidly expanding as most companies integrate digital technologies into their operations and others are digitalizing their businesses. So there are numerous high-paying career opportunities in this industry.
For the older generation, jobs that provide security remain their top choices for their children. These include government sector jobs that offer lifelong employment, insurance, and pensions, for example, teachers, police officers, and doctors.

However, if the job itself is problematic, such as ~~demanding tasks or~~the tasks being demanding or the rewards being insufficient ~~rewards~~, there is little I can do to address that.

Have you ever changed your ~~work~~job / changed jobs before?

More natural to say "changed jobs" than "changed work"

My first day of work was ~~unique and different~~different (compared) from that of other people.

I worked from home for a small company owned by my uncle.

On my first day, I woke up around half an hour before my start time for work and had a meal with my family, and then my uncle came to my house.

What do you want your company to improve on?

I wish that the company cwould use high-quality pictures or videos to display the paintings on the website instead of the current low-resolution images, which do not accurately reflect the quality and beauty of the paintings.

If you say "could," then that means the company isn't actually capable of doing it.
If you say "would," then that means that the company can actually do it, but they just haven't done it for whatever reason

What kind of jobs are popular in Vietnam ?¶
I believe that for younger generations, ~~professions in~~ the IT industry ~~are~~is very attractive.
