IELTS Speaking Topics ​

Part 1 ​

What do you do? ​

I am a software engineer and I work for an e-commerce company.

I’ve been working for about 15 years. This company is the fourth company I worked for.

As a software engineer, I have to change my jobs every few years to keep up with the changes in the industry and technology.

Do you like your job? ​

I enjoy being a software engineer and building new things. However, I don't like working for companies because they often see you as just a tool or a resouce to complete their projects.

I want to build my own projects, but I don't feel capable of building a real business that can generate enough cashflow to support myself and my family.

What job would you like to do? ​

What do you study? ​

What kind of accommodation do you live in ​

I live in an apartment on 13th floor in the southern part of Shenzhen. It has three small bedrooms and is only 80 square meters because the house prices are so high inn Shenzhe that I can only afford this size apartment.

However, I love this apartment because it has a fantastic view. It is located on the west side of Nanshan Mountain. From my window, I can see an entire Lichi park and the west side of Nanshan mountain, which is alway green. And on rainy days, I can see the mist on the peak of the mountain.

Which part of your home do you like the most? ​

What do you do in your free time? ​

Oh, free time!

To be honest, I don't really have much of it. I always seems to be busy with someting, like a hamster running on a wheel, constantly in motion but not really getting anywhere.

As a software engineer, it's crucial for me to keep learning and adopting to the latest technologies to stay competitive in my carreer. The tech industry evolves so rapidly that if you don't keep up, you can easily fall behind.

In addition to my work, I have a passion for investing. I love buying shares and putting any extra money I have into the stock market. This means I spend a lot of time studing stocks and analyzing the financial statements of the companies I hold. It's both exciting and challenging, as I try to make informed decisions about my investment.

I also have a one-year-old child, which means I need to dedicate time to him as well. Playing with him and watching him grow is incredibly rewarding, but it does taken up a significant portion of my day.

To maintain my health, I make it a point to exercise regularly. I enjoy running and doing some weight training, as it help me stay fit and energized to tackle my busy schedule.

When I do manage to carve out some real free time, I love to unwind by watching movies. I used to be a big fan of American films and series, but lately I've had trouble finding these resources. Now, I've turned to Chinese animation, which has been improving tremendously. I'm really impressed by the quality and creativity of the new shows and films coming out.

So, While my life is packed with responsibilities, I do my best to find moments of enjoyment and relaxation whereever I can.

Do you prefer to spend time with friends or family? ​

That's hard to say. I enjoy spending time with both to tell you the truth. I'd probabaly say, overall, I strive to spend more tiem with my family, and that means sometimes I do neglect my friends.

What's your morning routine? ​

I aim to get up around 7 am, I go for a brisk walk every morning without fail. Then I get back, I tend to have breakfast on my own, as everyone is still asleep. After that, I start work.

How do you stay fit and healthy? ​

As I mentioned before, I like to work out at the gym. On top of that, I do take care with what I eat. I like to cook healthy food at home, plenty of vegetables, we eat meat in moderation and I try to eat a piece of fruit every day.

Do you do any sports as a child? ​

Yes, we used to play football at school, that was the main sport, although I also played cricket in the summer, but I wasn't really good at it at all. I never really got the hang of it.

What kind of music do you like? ​

All sorts, to be honest. I used to be really into jazz, but nowadays I tend to listen to more classical music. I find it good for studying and relaxing. I often put some on in the background when I am working.

What's your favourite kind of weather? ​

I actually like code weather and I love it when it snows. So long as I'm wrapped up warm, I love to go out in the snow, and if my daugher is up for it, we will go and make a snowman together.

Which city would you like to visit in future? ​

There are so many, but if had to choose one, I'd say Lima, in Peru, and maybe one or two other neighboring cities. I've never been to south America, but I have seen so may breathtaking pictures of Peru, I think that'd be my top choice.

Are clothes important to you? ​

If I am going to be honest, not really. I don't think I am fashion consicous at all, for me clothes are just something practical, so lang as I look neat and tidy, that's fine. I don't pay much attention to coordinating colours or wearing the latest style.

Other resources ​

Ideas ​

Smartphones and social media ​

Q: So let's talk about smartphones and the amount of time that people spend online. How do you think that this can help or hinder kind of authentic connection with others.

A: I think, like many technoloies, smartphones can be a source of great benefit to people - individuals and communities - but also great harm. And as I talk about in the book, one of the worrisome ways social media and smartphones are often used, particularly by younger generations, is a kind of performace platform where we curate what we put on that platform to tell a very - what we think or guess is an attractive story about ourselves to increase numbers, likes and follows. And so you're not only performing - you are continually being judged by this unseen audience. And you start changing your, say, posting behaviour or your social media behaviour to try to accelerate the attention you're getting at the external persona level, if you will - your digital persona. And that often is different from how you truly feel inside. So that can be very lonely-making for people as they feel that, in order to truly connect, they have to not be who they are.

Now, there's other ways we could use social media, if we choose to tolerate the discomfort of authentic disclosure, to find people we share authentic interests with and then be able to share personal stories and respond in kind. And that's how we build more authentic, more sustainable connections. And we now have technology that can amplify that. Technologiy, in and of itself, isn's the problem. It's how we use it.
