I have been a student so far and I have never got into any job, neither part time nor full time. And I would continue my studies in near future. However, I help my parents in their works which is not less than a job.
I help my mother in household work and my father in his work of agriculture. Every day, I spend 2-3 hours assisting them. Two months back, my father gave me task of teaching my cousins. He told me that he would buy me a new mobile phone if I would teach my cousins well and make them clear their school tests.
My two cousins were in 10th standard. They were studying in English medium school. Due to corona pandemic lockdown, they could not go outside home for getting tuition. So they wanted me now to help them.
I accepted the task; I would teach them daily 3 to 4 hours. But after few days of teaching them, I found that it was not easy to teach them. They were naughty and heedless students. They would rarely pay attention to what I said. I would solve sums, explaining each step but they were too dumb to understand anything. Sometimes, I had to shout at them to make them focused. They had no interest in preparing their note books, and I myself had to prepare their notebooks. It was such a routine and laborious job.
But I tried my best because otherwise my father would be disappointed. With all my efforts, my cousins passed the school tests but could not score very high. Those 2-3 months were not easy for me. I lost my own mind in teaching them. Then I realized how students lack concentration these days.
So this work was too unpleasant for me.
Sample 2:
I have been a student so far and I have never got into any job, neither part time nor full time. And I would continue my studies in near future.
So I would like to talk about a job which my brother did and it was too unpleasant for him.
Actually, once, my brother got a job in a national bank. He was put on probation for 1 year and it was a tough time for him. The salary was just sufficient to cover his normal expenses but this job took away his peace of mind. Every-day he was given irrational targets which would be near to impossible to achieve. My brother generated huge business for the bank. He brought government and high net-worth customers to the bank. He worked 70 hours per week and created a client base of 100 rich customers for the bank in just 3 months.
But so called big corporates have no well-being policy for its employees. My brother was never given incentives, despite it was mentioned in the appointment letter. He was not appreciated or honored for accomplishing targets. Every-day there were higher and higher targets. But salary was never increased in parallel to his performance.
My brother rarely got any time to spend time with us. He even worked on Sunday in filling forms of customers. His behaviour changed, he suffered from hypertension. His boss would do everything to get the most out of him and exploit him. Then one day, my brother was going to visit a customer, and on the way, he hit a stray animal on the road. He was hospitalized then and took one month to recover. But instead of helping him, bank just laid him off. This is how the banks exploit the lower management field employees.
So this is the job that I would never like to do in the future.
IELTS Speaking Part 3 : Follow up Questions
Here some examples of follow up questions that you may asked during your speaking part 3 by examiner related to cue card “describe an unpleasant job you did”.
1. How modern technologies influence people?
Technology influences people in many ways. It saves people’s time by making things easier. For example, banks use accounting software to count the cash, which works with full accuracy and quickly. Technology not only makes professional work easier but proves very beneficial in household chores also, for example, microwaves, washing machines, and much more.
2. Do people now work less than in the past because of technological progress?
I think no because a few decades ago people hardly finish their one task in the whole day, but now people start more than one job at a time and finish it before the time.
3. Will people work less in the future?
I do not think so. People will increase their work because their desires are growing day by day, which require more money, so for that, they will increase their working hours.
4. What makes people successful?
Well, I believe two things are essential first is hard work and luck. The combination of both things makes people successful.
5. Do successful people have different abilities?
Yes, successful people have different qualities such as work hard, creativity, patience. These abilities make people successful. Some people have different qualities, but they use it in the wrong direction, which spoils their future.
6. Are the genetics of successful people different?
Those who achieve success because of their talent such as singing or dancing do have some of the skills passed on to them in their genes. However, it is not always the genes which make people successful, it is the hard work and dedication towards their work which leads them to success.
7. How innovations influence global progress?
Innovations influence global progress in many ways. It is because of the innovations in technology that today the whole world has shrunk and people are connected to each other like never before. The whole world is uniting hands to fight against the problems affecting people all over the world.
