雅思口语话题：有偿工作

In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility.小孩从事一些样式的有偿工作，对与错?

What are your opinions on this?

雅思官方参考范文：

The issue of children doing paid work is a complex and sensitive one. It is difficult to say who has the right to judge whether children working is ‘wrong’ or ‘valuable’. Opinions will also differ as to ‘learning’ benefits; no doubt teachers and factory owner, for example, would have varying concerns.

An important consideration is the kind of work undertaken. Young children doing arduous and repetitive tasks on a factory production line, for example, are less likely to be ‘learning’ than older children helping in an old people’s home. There are health and safety issues to be considered as well. It is an unfortunate fact that many employers may prefer to use the services of children simply to save money by paying them less than adults and it is this type of exploitation that should be discouraged.

However, in many countries children work because their families need the additional income, no matter how small. This was certainly the case in the past in many industrialized countries, and it is very difficult to judge that it is wrong for children today to contribute to the family income in this way.

Nevertheless, in better economic circumstances, few parents would choose to send their children out to full-time paid work. If learning responsibilities and work experience are considered to be important, then children can acquire these by having light, part-time paid work or even doing tasks such as helping their parents around the family home, which are unpaid, the undoubtedly of value in children’s development.

雅思口语考试P2新题精解-描述一个你做过的有薪工作

Describe a paid job you ever did.

? When did you do this job?

? What the job was?

? Why you chose this job?

1读题

考虑到广大雅思学生党现状，这种话题基本就等价于问暑寒假或平时周末你从事的一份part time job or a temp job。所以，像waiter, tutor之常见类的，即使并没有亲身经历，相信也能描述得有模有样。

本着稍稍使自己的话题能stand out点的想法，构思了下，讲讲为自己老爸打工的故事，既能有其他part time工作的自食其力的收获，同时也能增加父子的感情。

2实例

I used to work as an office clerk in a small startup, and you know what, I got the payment from my dad.

Father and I never really got along well with each other since the beginning of my adolescence. He is always busy, absent from some occasions which meant a lot to me. I grew rebellious, finding my ideas and desires hard to be voiced out to my parents, especially my father. Silence was so often our best language.

But after high school, there was a long summer vacation before I left home for college. Father and I had a very rare and big talk about my college life, and naturally it developed into a retrospection about our father-son relationship. And there, he made an offer of 2 months job in his company, and I accepted.

I never really knew what my father did to support the family before I worked there. The work place is small and the decoration is plain, he is the boss of 12 employees, including me. To put it curtly, they develop and sell APP games, and as for me, I’m the bug finder. In other words, I play the beta version of their games to find all the bugs and give my written review of it. It’s a hectic two-month work, and I never got preferential treatment. All my indifference and slight towards this job at the very early stage was soon dispelled by several stern lectures from my boss dad in a workplace talk style. You can’t believe that I almost fall into love with this team and my job at the end, since everyone is workaholic and I got the rewards of some money and more importantly a sense of fulfilment. Dad was super hot when he buried himself in his beloved work, in which I felt a bond. Some of his sorry records of parenting became understandable, and I finally knew I made a too rash and biased judgment on him. I regretted I did that to my dad and I was grateful I made the choice to took that job offer, though I must confess i accepted it in order to prove his long-term neglect of me.

3思路分析

看完全篇答案，大概能知道，虽然job是主题，但成长与情感才是我想要像考官表达的。看到很多小伙伴的答案，紧紧围绕主题，那是严丝合缝一丝不苟，但是情感因素的内容太少，搞得一个你自己经历的然后要给他人分享的故事，变成了讲述与自己无关的事实。这是口语高分的大忌。

其实，回顾所有的雅思口语考题，无论人物，事件，地点，物体，都逃不出一个情感的内核。如果说雅思口语考试难在哪，主要两点，一点是detailed description(越具体，越变态the evil lies in details)，另外一点，就是emotion expression(不管你是爱恨，还是客观的冷)。

最可怖的答案是弄成了说明文。

4与工作有关的一些语料

Job 工作(非正式)Occupation 职业(正式)，career 事业(带有情感因素) vocation/cause 使命一般的事业(类似九十年前的共产党)

Be in for money 为了钱而干某事 seek a job, hop a job

Age bar 年龄限制

stereotypical image 传统形象

ride on a hope of being a singer 憧憬

be of some value to the society

lack good guidance

the company is structured in such a way that…

swap places with sb 交换位置

the possibility remains that you can turn a hobby into a job.

Since they are not well off(代词poor的绝好表达), it is a big save for them.(节约了很大一笔钱)

(这才是标准的模板句)Anyone in this world can make a simple thing look complex, but only a good teacher can explain complex things in a simple way.

(非常地道的一种argument)Being a librarian requires a post-grad degree that encompasses many kinds of skill sets. Saying "shush" is not actually one of them

It's a beautiful thing when career and passion come together

(best occupation)Teacher, Because Teachers make a Difference.

They are like the current which makes the bulb glow.

They make you work harder than you thought you ever could. They make you push your boundaries beyond the boundaries themselves.

Having been on both sides of the table, as a student and as a teacher, I believe this provides an opportunity like nothing else and has the maximum impact on the world. I am sure many teachers believe that there is no greater joy nor greater reward than to make a fundamental difference in someone's life.

(关于书，关于工作和休息)I have to agree that being surrounded by books is heavenly. I love to spend my day off at the library. I used to volunteer at the library, but after a while it began to feel like work. So I quit after about six months. I like to be in the library free and unencumbered. I also like for my days off from work not to feel like work.

(导游)Being a tourist guide in a(ancient) city teeming with tourists from across the world as well as the country .

_You interact with different type of people every other day

_You always get to learn from people with different backgrounds

_You are the window to the world for that particular city

_You get to explore your cities secrets buried from the past which only a few know

_You are in the company of beautiful people every day

_Sometimes if are lucky you get be a part of documentary films

_The best thing it can be taken as a part time job

All this interaction as a guide will make you a wiser ,knowledgeable person in a lesser time as people from different backgrounds enrich you everyday.

(老师是一种privilege)Being a doctor is such a privilege

This is the first occupation which I consider as noble. Being a doctor is such a privilege. It is not like other jobs where you just sit in an office and fill in forms or code on your computers. The reason why I call this as noble is because, here, one gets to save others’ lives. Others’ lives are dependent on them. If they are successful, then they will hold a very important position in their patients’ lives. That satisfaction of saving and improving the state of others’ lives is just incomparable. The numbers of lives that they will save and cure with their hands are just innumerable. They will make a great impact in whatever small community they may be working in. People will respect and honour them for their assistance. It is, in fact, a kind of social work. Therefore, considering all this, I think Doctor is a noble profession.

(做自己)The one which allows you to be yourself ; the one in which you don't feel the need for weekends to feel refreshed; the one where love for what you do drives you more than that the money does- if that's the occupation you are into, no matter what you are doing, it's the best occupation in the world for you

advice on job

1. Choose the Right Job : Don't settle for any sucking job because of any lame excuse including, but not limited to, a better pay. Not every engineer is an engineer. And that's fine. But if you feel there is one inside you, don't give up on it. Cherish it. Commit to it. Believe in it. And trust me, an engineering job would be an infinitely more fulfilling experience for you than having to work an over-paid pseudo-management job profile at a fancy lingo financial borehouse. Don't just take up any work because they are paying you to. Identify something you like doing and then find a company that'd pay you for it. The company alone does not select you. You also need to select the company. Try to make things work but if they don't, respect yourself and leave. Believe in yourself and find a different job. Choose a job which will help your thinking grow. But don’t let it assume the highest importance.

2. Impossibilities are a temporary nuisance : Things that appear to be screamingly impossible in the morning can seem very trivial by evening. You might often face a problem that refuses to yield with a solution that seems distant enough to be given up on. But don't worry, if you stay at it throughout the day, it will come to you. The most impossible things can be broken down and won over. That is the number one thing I learned at TI wherein lies the true spirit of engineering.

3. Be the manager of your manager : Your manager is no God. Like everyone else, he can be right or wrong. You need not shut your own voice out when it speaks differently. Respect him like you would respect anyone else but not more (preferably not less either). There is no real hierarchy. It's all imagination. He is not above you and together you're supposed to function as a team not revive feudalism. Manage your own work as much as possible. Resist bullshit. Making the right decisions requires inputs from both sides. Listen and understand. Then convey your viewpoints. Try to create an environment where your manager says the same things as you do (not the other way around) and both have a clear common vision.

4. Love the people, not the Company : Your company does not exist. It's just a concept. Its people on the other hand are quite real. Help them whenever possible but not because it's a part of your job description but because it will help you be a better human being.

5. Work when you are bored : Try to work when you need a break from what you love doing. Find real passions. Read. Write. Study. Dance. Design. Code. Watch Movies. Or just roam around and think. But do commit to it. Don't wait for weekends. Go crazy whenever you can. Think about your friends. Think about the movie you watched last night. Sneak a peak into the book you carry in your bag or is there on your Kindle. Stay lost in your thoughts and dreams. Right in your cube. Dream. Don't shut them out while you work. Don't bring work home. Never. Take an oath if you have to. But NEVER. BRING. WORK. HOME.

6. Professionalism is over hyped : Be a responsible person. Keep your promises and don't make promises that would make you uncomfortable. Do it because it is the right thing to do, not because some guy with a degree in MBA and a PhD in Powerpoint said so. Don't allow yourself to turn into a well behaved, neatly dressed, cold hearted, hypocrite asshole. If someone is giving you shit, or is being an ass, a sexist, a racist, a hater, show him the finger and raise the appropriate amount of hell. Don't sacrifice an inch of yourself. Be a rebel. But don't become an arrogant snot. Don't be selfish and always try to accommodate people. Not every thing need be opposed.

7. Live the college life : It becomes difficult but it's the only way to live. You need not let it go. Talk crap. Absolute doll shit. Full Bakar. Laugh out Loud till at least two people suspect that there is something wrong with you. Attempt the craziest things. Love your friends. Live your passions. Stay up late. Fool around. Fight for what you believe in. Don't hold back. Always back your position up with reason and thought. Always learn something from an argument. Always learn. That's the most important thing one learns at college. To learn. Ask questions and don't settle easy. Don't rely too much on Google. Talk to the people around you. Learning new things will get difficult with time and people would expect you to know everything soon enough. But try and stay the fool you are. Don't be too proud of what you know and don't feel too bad about what you don't.

8. Save time : Don't give too much time to your office. There are bigger, more important things out there. Talk to your mom instead of pushing two more slides into an already boring PPT. Don't let office timings overlap with the time you like spending either alone or with friends. Come to office early and leave early. Or alternatively, reach office late and leave early. Never leave late. Never.

9. Bamboo Transfer : Understand that people around you are being strangled by deadlines. They deal with gaps in communication and relations and are entangled in a web of uncertain dependencies. They work around the mistakes of others and their own. But they give their best. Not everyone can not give a damn about their job. Frustration will percolate through the organization. Someone might attempt taking it out on you because someone else took it out on them.

'Customer->Manager->Supervisor->Designer->Vendor'.

Don't hate someone for being needlessly upset with you. Be patient with people and see if there is a reason for them to act so demanding. However, don't take shit and never, never ever, pass it further. Break the chain. Do not hate or let hate. Be careful to not judge people based entirely on their work. There is more to them. Don't bully people around and don't expect them to serve you. Request. Do not command. Don't point fingers and try to distribute blame around like people owe you something. Ghanta they do!

10. Design : Don't work, design. Make your job fun. Think like an engineer but design like an artist. Let it take time when it must, but do it well. Get it right the first time and make it better the next. Learn new things if need be. See your job as an opportunity to create something new. Leave your signature. Play around with it. Protect it, especially from those who complain without attempting to understand your work. Stand by it. Love it.

11. Money is both important and not important : Don't waste it away like a fool. But don't also be a miserly prude. Avoid loans. If any, pay them off as fast as you can. Don't spend with an open hand or save with a closed heart. The best and the only worthy use of money is to spend it for the happiness of others. Buy gifts. Share with others. Donate with an open heart. The world has more pressing needs for your money than you might.

12. Relax : Life does not run on LSF. Breath slowly and live each moment. Don't run around as if your head is on fire. The Earth wont explode if your design is only working at 98% of the target performance. You'll figure the rest out. Just go home and relax. Don't miss a smile. And maybe the solution will come to you in a moment of revelation while you're in the shower. Avoid dumb deadlines. Always choose quality over tempting, ambitious deadlines and stay calm throughout. Moore's law can wait.

The more you look for happiness in your job, the more you'll miss out on the things that actually matter

【雅思口语Part 2&3话题】有报酬的工作

来让我们看一下：

Describe a paid job you did or someone you know ever did.

You should say:

What the job was

When and where you did it

How long the job lasted

And explain how you felt about it.

丨思路分析：

宝宝们看到这道题目也先别慌，没有挣钱的经历不要紧，关键是要留心生活，并把平日的所见所闻和题目巧妙的结合，说白了就是编故事嘛~

关于素材，相信考生中大多数人都没有过工作挣钱的经历，但考场上你不能任性地告诉考官我没有过，我要换题~

在考场上的那一刻，考官给你什么题就是什么题了。

但，有句话叫做“没吃过猪肉，还没见过猪跑吗?”

大家仔细想想作为学生，我们的周围能接触哪些工作，然后我们就把这些个工作嫁接到我们自己身上就好啦，这样的话你也不用硬编故事啦~

比如，爸妈常常给我们请家教(tutor)，对于家教做什么我们是清楚的。

同样的，如果你是学艺术的，你会很熟悉钢琴老师这个职业。

如果你跑过健身房(gym)，你应该会知道好多健身教练(fitness instructor)或者私教(personal trainer)都是在校学生。

OK，如果你说我没这些才华和爱好，不了解这些~

那超市和快餐店是常常去的吧，收银员(cashier)和服务生(waiter/waitress)我们都接触过，我们也常常去电影院(cinema/ movie theater)，售票员(ticket seller)我们都见过的。

所以，大家要留心生活，从自己的经历里找到合适的素材。

就像学姐的好盆友是个购物狂(shopaholic), 所以学姐就会以在商场最常见的导购(shop assistant)为例子，但其实学姐和学姐的盆友也是没有做过这一类的工作呢~

丨加分词汇推荐：

1. Feel sick/tiredof something 厌倦了做某事

E.g. Jessica was sick of her 9-to-5 office job, so she quit it and started her own business.

2. Idle about 浪费时间

E.g. Stop idling about and find something meaningful to do.

3. Be bored to death 无聊到爆

E.g. I was bored to death while I was watching the film.

4. On-the-job training 在职培训，也就是一边上班一边学习，很多service industry的员工都是在职培训的。

5. Force someone to do something 强迫某人做某事

E.g. Parents can't force children to learn things they are not interested in.

6. Earn/make a fortune 挣大钱

7. over the moon 非常开心，是个地道的表达

8. priceless 无价的，非常宝贵的

丨所以我们可以这么说：

I'd like to share with you my experience as a shop assistant this summer, which lasted for 2 months. Actually, this was the first paid job I've ever done.

The reason I did it was because I was sick of idling about at home. I was bored to death, so for the sake of killing time, I did a little job hunting on the internet and then lucky for me, I got a job offer within 3 days. The place I worked was on the second floor of a large shopping mall. It's a well-known brand in China targeting people aged from 18 -30. On the first day, the manager gave me a little bit on-the-job training. It didn't take too long for me to realize this was much harder than I had thought it would be.

As a shop assistant, I was supposed to know the prices of all the products, as well as the promotions and stuff by heart. It was as challenging as memorizing new words. Not only that, I should watch the way I talked with customers. Sometimes I had to force myself to be friendly to customers I didn't like. At the end of this job, I got 5000 yuan in total. It's not too much, but I felt like I had earned a fortune. I was over the moon.

The experience and memory took away from this job was priceless. I have learnt things I couldn't have learnt from classrooms. For example, this experience has got me to appreciate what my parents have provided for me all these years.
