Câu hỏi + Câu trả lời mẫu Topic: Work/Study
Do you work or are you a student?
Why did you choose that job?
Sample answer 2
Well I guess the thing I like most about this job is the salary. I make what I’d consider is a lucrative income, which means not only is it enough to cover my bills, but there’s also some extra to spend on whatever I want. So on payday, I often treat myself to a meal at a high-end restaurant or splurge on a nice shirt.
Vocabulary:
- Lucrative income: Thu nhập sinh lời
- High-end: the most sophisticated, and typically the most expensive product in a line: tinh vi nhất và thường đắt nhất, hiểu nghĩa cao cấp.
- Splurge on something: to spend a lot of money on someone or something: ý hiểu để chi tiêu rất nhiều tiền vào một ai đó hoặc một cái gì đó.

Sample answer 2
Sad to say, no. I find that there's no excitement while doing the job. This is due to the boring but stressful routine tasks. Also, I see no real purposes behind the work I produce every day. It is just series of actions that will lead towards a poorly-defined or non-existent goal.
Do you think that place of work made you change?
Is there some other kind of work you would rather do? /
Sample answer 2
Actually, I don’t think I’m able to dedicate myself to any other job rather than this one. In fact, to me it’s the experiences and opportunities I can gain that really matters.
To dedicate to Sth: devote (time or effort) to a particular task or purpose ( ý chỉ cống hiến (thời gian hoặc công sức) cho một nhiệm vụ hoặc mục đích cụ thể)
Would you like to change your job in the future?
What would you change about your job?
Sample answer
If I could change something about my job, definitely it would be the general director. He is somehow part of my job since I'm his assistant. Because of his poor decisions and meaningless tasks which he assigns to me every day, I find that his retirement would bring significant changes to not only my job but also the whole company.
Do you prefer working alone or with others? Why?
How many hours do you work each day?
Do you have to work with other people?
Where do you want to see yourself in 10 years?
Sample answer
This is a question I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. In ten years, I can see myself as a director of my own company, working on exciting new projects and developing business strategies. Also, I will be writing part-time and may earn enough money from the sales of my supernatural fiction novels.
Do you miss being a student?
Sample answer
I surely will miss my student life once I get involve in the workplace. For me I think when I’m a student, at least I have someone guide me, whereas at work mostly you must guide yourself. The academic environment appears to be a comfort zone for me, while I’m sure I’ll struggle with fitting in the working environment.
Collocations:
- To get involve in: to become a part of (an organization) nghĩa là để tham gia vào, trở thành một phần của một tổ chức, cơ quan.
- To fit in: to become suitable or appropriate for Sth or S nghĩa là để phù hợp với, để trở thành phù hợp hoặc thích hợp cho Sth hoặc SO.
