Topic 8.
2
Dreams and Ambitions.
3
Now let's talk about dreams and ambitions.
4
What was your childhood dream?
5
When I was younger, I had my sights set on becoming a police officer,
6
mainly because I watched movies and thought they were extremely brave in their cool green uniforms.
7
However, as I got older, that childhood aspiration changed because I developed a strong passion for technology, which I've been pursuing ever since.
8
Are you the kind of person who sticks to dreams?
9
Honestly, not really.
10
I think my dreams tend to evolve over time, so I prefer to keep my options open.
11
I try to dream big but remain practical.
12
For instance, as I mentioned, my dream used to be a police officer when I was a kid, but as I grew up,
13
I realized that becoming a software engineer suited my skills and interests much better.
14
What is your dream job?
15
To be honest, my current job as an IT engineer is my dream job.
16
Ever since I was first exposed to computers, I felt a strong sense of purpose on this career path.
17
Working with technology allows me to use my strengths, solve problems, and carve out a successful career in a field I genuinely enjoy.
18
Do you think you are an ambitious person?
19
I'd say I'm fairly ambitious and self -driven, but not to the point where I overwork myself.
20
Ever since I graduated, I've always been very goal -oriented, and I tend to aim high when it comes to my career and personal growth.
21
For instance, one of my main targets this year is to achieve a 6 .5 IELTS score,
22
which requires me to push myself out of my comfort zone every single day.
23

Absolutely.
35
Having a filling breakfast is a crucial energy source.
36

37
What do you do right after getting up in the morning?

44
i tend to go to the cinema whenever i can take a break from my busy coding schedule
45
Do you prefer to watch films at home or in the cinema?
46
I would rather watch films in the cinema than at home because it offers a big screen experience and surround sound.
47
Those features make the whole experience much more immersive and enjoyable.
48
What kinds of films do you like?
49
I am really into sci -fi and action films because they are incredibly thrilling.
50
For example, I watched
51
Avengers Infinity War last week, and the intense action scenes kept me on the edge of my seat.
52
Do you think going to the cinema is a good way to spend time with friends?
53
For me, probably not, because watching a film leaves us with little time to chat.
54
My buddies and I prefer grabbing a bite or a drink, so I usually save a movie night just for my wife.

I just want to spend quality time with my family, play with my kids, or sometimes read a book.
62
What do you usually do in the evening?
63
After finishing my work, I usually spend quality time with my family and practice a new skill because after a tiring day,
64
these activities are exactly what I need to wind down and enjoy my downtime.
65
What did you do in the evening when you were little?
66
When I was little, I used to spend my evenings finishing my homework.
67
My teachers assigned a ton of exercises, so sometimes I even had to burn the midnight oil to get everything done.
68
Because of that, I rarely had time to watch cartoons like other kids.
69
Do you spend your evenings doing the same things on both weekends and weekdays.

Not at all.

90
Work and careers.
91
Let's move on to work and careers.
92
Why do people change jobs more often nowadays?
93
Well, one reason is that technology offers people far more choices today.
94
Professionals frequently switch companies to seek better pay or faster career growth.
95
For instance, the rise of remote work means people can easily take new jobs without even leaving their homes.
96
Is job satisfaction more important than a high salary?
97
Although a high salary helps cover basic living costs, I think job satisfaction is much more important.
98
When I find enjoyment in my work, I feel less stress and can be highly creative.

For instance, when visitors buy local products like souvenirs, this means that the whole community's economy grows stronger.
106
How can popular tourist destinations avoid becoming overcrowded?
107
One way to solve
108
this issue is to promote alternative sites for example instead of
109
crowding the main island tour guides can take visitors to nearby villages

if they do this destinations will easily reduce the pressure from tourists topic 15 family

When people have separate interests or ongoing arguments, they may actively avoid each other instead of sharing a family meal.
115
What can younger and older people learn from each other?
116
While older generations can share their valuable life experience and practical skills like sewing, younger people can help them with digital skills. For instance,

and handle setbacks from her stories

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
