In this episode of the IELTS-Help.com podcast, I discuss 6 frequently-asked questions on the topic of work and give sample answers for each question at a Band 6.0 or slightly higher. I also offer some suggestions about how to answer the questions.

Here are some typical questions you may get asked about work:

1.Do you work or study? (or both?)

oThis is usually the opening question to establish your current situation

2.What do you do? (or What's your job?)

3.How long have you been working there?

4.What do you like most about your job?

5.What are the main challenges in your work?

6.Do you think you'll stay in this job for a long time?

7.What skills are most important for your job?

Things to keep in mind when answering:

• try to use full sentences. Avoid single word answers.
• use a range of vocabulary and try not to repeat words
• structure your answers using connective or linking language
• try to manage the way you speak. Focus on your pronunciation, stress, intontation and fluency.
• speak with enthusiasm and energy.

Thankyou for listening to the episode and I hope you found it informative and instructive.
