Today we're going to tackle one of the most common IELTS topics, the topic of work.
2
Question 1, part 1: Do you work or study?
3
Well, to be honest, I'm currently employed as an IELTS teacher.
4
I love my job because it gives me not only financial freedom but also the opportunity
5
work with students from around the world, which is important because I can help them to develop their skills.
6
Do you like your job?
7
Yeah, absolutely.
8
Don't get me wrong, my job is incredibly challenging because I have to deal with different students' abilities, dreams and hopes.
9
but it's incredibly rewarding.
10
I get a great sense of satisfaction from helping them to achieve their dreams.
11
Number three: What is your dream job?
12
I must confess.
13
I have always wanted to be a pilot and fly for a prestigious airline such as Vietnam Airlines.
14
I can vividly remember when I was a child the first time I enjoyed a trip on Vietnam Airlines.
15
I felt over the moon to be flying above the clouds.
16
Would you like to change your job in the future?
17
No, to be honest, I'm really happy with my current job.
18
It gives me a great sense of satisfaction.
19
If I was to change my job,
20
perhaps I would like to focus more on teaching at universities and gaining a deeper understanding of the English language.
21
Team, do you see there?
22
My answers weren't too long for part one.
23
A nice, chatty, friendly style.
24
Like you're talking to your best friend.
25
Notice some of the vocabulary to gain a deeper understanding of something.
26
same same to learn new knowledge to to expand my knowledge about something i really like that
27
Notice how I'm developing my ideas by saying: which is important because Moreover, did you notice the way I gave an example?
28
I can vividly remember when I was a child, the first time I flew on Vietnam Airlines.
29
It's a really nice way to give examples in your part one.
30
Now, let's move on to part two.
31
Describe a job you would like to have in the future.
32
You should sing.
33
what it is how you would get it, what skills it requires, and why you would like this job.
34
There are so many occupations I could talk about.
35
However, if I had to pick one, it would be to become a pilot.
36
for beautiful and famous airline.
37
I would get this job by not only studying all about aerospace,
38
but also I would do extra research on how to apply to these companies.
39
To become a pilot, I would need a variety of skills.
40
Thusly.
41
I would need to be passionate about planes, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanics about how they work,
42
as well as to feel confident when behind the wheel.
43
Secondly, I would need to be enthusiastic.
44
about spending time traveling around the world, because this is a fundamental part of this special job.
45
The reason why I would love to be a pilot is not only because of its social status,
46
being able to tell people about this fantastic and sexy job but also it has sentimental value.
47
I can clearly recall when I was younger, I enjoyed my first trip upon Vietnam Airlines.
48
When I boarded the plane,
49
I met the charismatic and charming pilot who assured me that Even though I was very afraid of flying,
50
nothing would go wrong.
51
I was in a safe pair of hands.
52
From that moment I knew this would be the dream job for me.
53
In the future, I will try my best to learn how to become a skilled and passionate pilot.
54
See Vetti, I'm following our technique one for part two.
55
Using our speaking structures, variety of something, and then telling a passionate story at the end.
56
The reason why I would love this occupation is not only, but also it has sentimental value and a little story.
57
There, to be honest, that's not really a true story.
58
I've never really met that many pilots.
59
But remember, in your IELTS speaking, you can lie.
60
Yeah?
61
Fantastic.
62
Now let's move on to part three.
63
Now, in this part there are some quite challenging questions
64
but see if you can notice the range of different techniques I use in my answers.
65
Question number one: How is work culture changing today?
66
Well, to be honest, I think the biggest development is the use of technology.
67
and its fundamental importance in the working environment.
68
For example, if people are able to easily use electronic devices,
69
then they will be able to incorporate AI into their working which will help them to become more productive.
70
Moreover, I think another change is the trend of working from home,
71
which has become a incredibly vital in the 21st century and allows people to relax.
72
Number two.
73
Is salary the most important thing when applying for a job?
74
Well, in my opinion, it depends on age.
75
Young people should focus on gaining more experience, which is vital for them to be successful and develop in their career path.
76
In contrast, for older people, wages and salary are of fundamental importance.
77
Because if they can achieve financial freedom, then they can take care of their families.
78
What skills are most important for success?
79
Well, some people think that public speaking is the most vital skill
80
because it's essential to be able to thrive in a work environment but I think
81
Having a strong command of the English language is essential.
82
in order to be able to communicate with colleagues from around the world.
83
as well as to be able to chat up your boss and impress them in order to hopefully get a promotion.
84
Finally, do you think AI will replace humans?
85
Absolutely no. Because we cannot replace that face -to -face interaction between teachers and students.
86
which is of fundamental importance to guide them and to help build their confidence.
87
For example, In Vietnam, many students are quite shy and are introverts.
88
Therefore, it is a teacher's job to build their confidence.
89
However, though, AI is no doubt becoming a vital part of the learning and skills environment in the 21st century.
90
I think that AI and educators should work together to provide the best environment for learners in the future.
91
So guys, I hope you enjoyed those answers.
92
I think the questions about AI are incredibly difficult and I'm curious if you agree with me.
93
Do you think AI will replace teachers in the future?
94
I would love to know your ideas.
95
With my part 3 answers there, I used a range of different techniques, which will be explained if you click the link in the video down below.

Practice Tips
To effectively improve your speaking skills, use the shadowing technique with the video’s samples. As you listen, try to mimic the speaker's intonation, rhythm, and pronunciation. Pay close attention to the speed of the speech; the speaker maintains a friendly and conversational tone which is key for part one responses. You can pause and repeat sentences to ensure accuracy. Incorporate the vocabulary and phrases from the key vocabulary section to enhance your responses. Remember, the goal is to express your thoughts naturally while practicing shadow speech to become comfortable with advanced language use.
Make sure to incorporate your personal experiences as you respond to similar questions. This not only improves fluency but also helps you create engaging and authentic conversations. Consistent practice with videos where you learn English with YouTube will significantly aid in mastering the art of speaking and ensuring that you can handle a variety of IELTS topics.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | world, which is · working which will · experience, which is |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | have always wanted · I've never really met · has become |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
