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
Topic 9.
24
Morning routines.
25
Let's talk about morning routines.
26
Do you like to get up early in the morning?
27
Yes, I'm definitely an early bird.
28
I enjoy getting up at 6 a .m because it gives me some quiet personal time.
29
It really helps me get a head start and feel fully energized for the new day.
30
What is your morning routine?
31
I usually start the day by drinking some water and reading a book to gently ease into the day.
32
After exercising, I freshen up before having breakfast and preparing for work.
33
Is breakfast important?
34
Absolutely.
35
Having a filling breakfast is a crucial energy source.
36
If you skip breakfast, you may feel groggy all morning and struggle to get any work done.
37
What do you do right after getting up in the morning?
38
The first thing I do is drink a large glass of water i've learned
39
that rehydrating after a long night helps wake my body up
40
and really sets the tone for the day topic 10 films
41
and cinemas let's talk about films
42
and cinemas how often do you watch films i consider myself a bit of a film buff
43
but honestly i only catch a film about once a month
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.
55
Topic 11.
56
Evening time.
57
Now let's talk about evening time.
58
What do you hate doing in the evening?
59
Normally, I can't stand answering work emails in the evening because I always feel drained after a long day.
60
I really need some downtime to wind down.
61
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.
70
Not at all.
71
On weekdays, I usually stay in to read books or learn a new skill, whereas at weekends, I dedicate all my evenings to my family.
72
It's a great change of pace since I don't have to work the next morning.
73
For example, just last Sunday evening, I took my kids to Vincom Center for some fun.
74
Topic 12.
75
Jokes and comedies.
76
Let's talk about jokes and comedies.
77
Are you good at telling jokes?
78
To be honest, I am not very good at telling jokes.
79
I'm a quiet person who prefers serious conversations, so I tend to keep a straight face rather than trying to be funny.
80
Do your friends like to tell jokes?
81
Most of them don't, but one of my friends often tells jokes when we hang out.
82
He tries to be a witty friend, but honestly, his jokes usually fall flat, like at our party last week when nobody laughed.
83
Do you like to watch comedies?
84
Not really.
85
As a naturally serious person, I rarely watch a sitcom because I completely dislike forced jokes and fake laugh tracks.
86
Have you ever watched a live show?
87
Actually, I have never been to a live concert.
88
Being an introvert, I usually feel uncomfortable in a crowded, lively atmosphere.
89
So when my partner recently invited me to one, I immediately said no. Topic 13.
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.
99
Without that daily motivation, it would be nearly impossible for me to stay in any job long term just for the money.
100
Topic 14, tourism and local culture.
101
Let's talk about tourism and local culture.
102
What benefits can tourism bring to local communities?
103
The most obvious benefit is boosting local income.
104
Tourism can help small shops and residents make a much better living.
105
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
110
if they do this destinations will easily reduce the pressure from tourists topic 15 family
111
and generations let's talk about family
112
and generations why do some families find it difficult to spend time together well unresolved conflicts
113
and having little common ground often make it difficult for family members to spend time together.
114
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,
117
by teaching my mother how to use online services on her smartphone i can learn how to stay calm
118
and handle setbacks from her stories
119
topic 16 cities and transport finally let's talk about cities and transport
120
why do many people choose to live in big cities living
121
in a city offers people more opportunities to find better job opportunities and access top -tier public services compared with rural areas,
122
a big city tends to be much more convenient as you are closer to specialist hospitals and good schools.
123
What can be done to reduce traffic congestion in cities?
124
Personally, I believe more investments should be made to improve infrastructure, like expanding roads or building bike lanes.
125
Also, if companies encourage flexible work or remote work, it would drastically reduce the number of vehicles on the streets during rush hours.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
