IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic
Work
Here are some of the questions asked:
1. Do you have a job right now?
Not right now, I’m kinda in between jobs. I quit my previous job because I wanted to do something different. That’s why I’m also here. I want to go back to university, but before I can I need to make sure I pass the IELTS.
Yes I do, I have been working in the same company my whole career. I started at the bottom and now I’m a manager responsible for a team of 50 people. I’m actually quite proud of my achievement.

Answer for first question- i have done my doctorate in research fireld. right now I’m not doing any job. I was doing job in 2011 but after that I have shifted in another country. Now, my kids have grown up and I want to continue my job in research field. Please give my correct answer
Hello Aradhana,
Thanks for your comment and your answer. There are a few grammatical mistakes and I would avoid repetition of the word job. I would also upgrade the language here and there:
I have recently finished my rather challenging doctorate in research, so right now I’m job hunting. My last employment was rather long ago – in 2011. Sadly enough I had to quit it because I needed to move to another country. Now, my kids have grown up and have left the nest. Because of all this I would really love to peruse my career in research once more.
I hope this helps.
Your best friends to help you with your writing or speaking are the thesaurus for finding synonyms: https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/another-word-for/job.html
and then adding some collocations to it with the collocation dictionary: https://ozdic.com/collocation/employment
Combine these 2 and you push your language: meaning you will get a better score in Lexical range, which is absolutely necessary if you want to reach a 6.5 or more.
Good luck with the exam
And if you any more questions or need more help, let me know.
