Topic: Work/Study - part 1

Sample answer 1

I prefer working as a teacher or a social worker or an activist. In general, I love an occupation to be in connection with helping people and providing support for others.

Sample answer 2

Actually, 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. 

To dedicate to Sth: devote (time or effort) to a particular task or purpose ( ý chỉ cống hiến (thời gian hoặc công sức) cho một nhiệm vụ hoặc mục đích cụ thể)

Sample answer

Definitely yes. Right after I save enough money to start my own English center, I will send in a resignation letter and have a whole new beginning. 

Sample answer

If I could change something about my job, definitely it would be the general director. He is somehow part of my job since I'm his assistant. Because of his poor decisions and meaningless tasks which he assigns to me every day, I find that his retirement would bring significant changes to not only my job but also the whole company.

Sample answer

Well, for the most part, I prefer to work alone since I can completely control the task outcomes. It would be a great nightmare if the teammates performed poorly and ineffectively.  

Sample answer

I spend around 10-12 hours every day working. In addition to a nine-to-five job, after work I teach English to secondary students. I also manage an English self-study website. 

Sample answer

Luckily, most of my tasks require little teamwork. I usually handle my job alone, even though sometimes there are big tasks that I have to cooperate with others to get them done.

Sample answer

This is a question I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. In ten years, I can see myself as a director of my own company, working on exciting new projects and developing business strategies. Also, I will be writing part-time and may earn enough money from the sales of my supernatural fiction novels.

Sample answer

Well, this question pops into my mind from time to time, but to be honest, I have never managed to have an answer for it. I reckon that 10 years is such a long time and anything could happen, so it is hard to tell from now. 

Sample answer

I surely will miss my student life once I get involve in the workplace. For me I think when I’m a student, at least I have someone guide me, whereas at work mostly you must guide yourself. The academic environment appears to be a comfort zone for me, while I’m sure I’ll struggle with fitting in the working environment.

Collocations:

- To get involve in: to become a part of (an organization) nghĩa là để tham gia vào, trở thành một phần của một tổ chức, cơ quan.

- To fit in: to become suitable or appropriate for Sth or S nghĩa là để phù hợp với, để trở thành phù hợp hoặc thích hợp cho Sth hoặc SO.

Sample answer

I normally cook dinner, relax and walk my dog. Depending on my schedule, I might have plans with friends to meet for a coffee or shopping. In summer I go to the beach for a couple of hours then return home to cook dinner.
