Work Related Questions # Speaking Section

Part I of the speaking section consist of questions that are quite general. These are the questions related to you and often deal with your interest or hobbies or your like and dislikes; more importantly about you. So, lets have a look at some of the work related  questions that could possibly be asked in Part I of the speaking section.

1. Do you work or are you a student?

At present I am working as a freelance writer. Apart from it I have also enrolled myself in a course on English Literature and I am hoping to succeed in this field.

2. Why did you choose this job?

I love English and writing is something I believe I can do. I was interested in learning more about the complexities and the beauty of English language and therefore I joined the course. But I had some shortage of money and had to start working. Since I did not knew anything except writing, I took up as a freelance writer.

3. What is the most difficult thing about your study or job?

I really find juggling between the two quite tough. For example, it sometimes so happens that I am reading literature but I have to write fiction in my job. Switching one mode and getting into other often becomes confusing. But I would say that I love my work, and so in the end it really does not feels so difficult.

4. What type of study do most people prefer these days?

I think the entire perspective of taking up a course has changed in a decade. At present people went for the courses that paid them the most. However, people these days prefer courses that widens their horizons and helps them to take a career related to something that they love. Even more since the professional world, now demands vocational studies, more people are getting into it and opening their arenas of the professional world.
