Do you like your job?

20240701

答

Not really, I work as program just for its suitable salary, actually, I often work overtime to fullfill my leader’s demands, sometimes it really make me very tired. But even like this, cause I’m a responsible person, I’ll still take it seriously of my job.

评价

回答整体上是连贯的，但存在一些小的中断，可能会影响流畅性。例如，表达方式有些重复和不自然，可以通过更自然的连接词和过渡来改进。

使用了一些描述工作态度的词汇，如“responsible”，这是积极的。但可以通过引入更多具体和描述性的词汇来增强回答，如用词更精准地描述工作的具体方面或情感。

回答中有几处语法错误，需要修正。例如，“work as program”应为“work as a programmer”，“fullfill”应为“fulfill”，“make me very tired”应使用一致性的时态“makes me very tired”，“take it seriously of my job”应简化为“take my job seriously”。

优化后

Actually, I don’t really enjoy my job. I work as a programmer mainly because the salary meets my needs. Often, I have to work overtime to meet my leader’s demands, which can be exhausting. Despite this, I take my responsibilities seriously and strive to do my best, as I consider myself a dedicated and responsible person.
实际上，我并不是很喜欢我的工作。我之所以当程序员主要是因为薪水可以满足我的需求。通常，我不得不加班以满足领导的要求，这让我感到非常疲惫。尽管如此，我仍然认真对待我的职责，并努力做到最好，因为我认为自己是一个敬业且负责任的人。

Often, I have to work overtime to meet my leader's demands中often也可以放句子里：I often have to work overtime to meet my leader's demands。

Despite this前可以加but，如：But despite this。

范例答案

A: Well, not really. I can’t say I’m a fan of my job because it’s super stressful. I always have to work overtime on weekdays and there’s even work to do on the weekend from time to time. More importantly, the pay isn’t that satisfying. The reason I’m taking this test is because I want to study overseas so that I can be more competitive in the job market and find a better-paying job.

Why did you choose this job?

20240702

答

As I mentioned before, I chose this job mainly because the salary meets my needs, but apart form this reason, there are serveral points appeal me. First of all, the programming work is relatively easy in physical level, you just need sit in front of the screen and tap your fingers, you don’t need to go out to do some physical work. Secondly, the information is the trend of future development, I think it’ll contribute to my job career.

评价

首先，你的回答中有一些小的语法错误和表达可以改进的地方。例如，“apart form this reason”应该是“apart from this reason”，“serveral points appeal me”应该是“several points appeal to me”。这些改正能帮助你的语言听起来更自然，更符合英语习惯。

其次，你的表达“the programming work is relatively easy in physical level”可以改为更自然的表达方式：“the programming work is not physically demanding”。这样的说法更地道，也更简洁。

关于“information is the trend of future development”，这个表达有些模糊，可能你是想表达“Information technology is a major trend in future development”或者“Digitization is a key trend for the future”。这样的表达更清晰，也更具体。

综合上述建议，你的回答可以优化为：

“As I mentioned before, I chose this job primarily because the salary meets my needs. Apart from this reason, there are several other aspects that appeal to me. First of all, the programming work is not physically demanding; you simply sit in front of a screen and type, without the need for physical labor. Secondly, recognizing that digitization is a key trend for the future, I believe this field will contribute significantly to my career prospects.”
正如我之前提到的，我选择这份工作主要是因为薪水能满足我的需求。除此之外，还有几个方面吸引我。首先，编程工作不需要体力劳动；你只需坐在屏幕前敲键盘，无需进行体力活动。其次，意识到数字化是未来的一个关键趋势，我相信这个领域将大大促进我的职业前景。

如果觉得上面太过正式，不太符合口语化的表达，下面也有一个较口语的，不过怎么看都像是两个极端？!

“Like I said before, I mostly chose this job because the pay is good. But there are a few other things I like about it too. For starters, programming isn’t physically demanding—you basically just sit at a computer and type, no heavy lifting involved. Plus, I know digital skills are big for the future, so working in this field should really help my career down the line.”
“像我之前说的，我主要是因为薪水不错才选了这份工作。当然，也有其他几点我挺喜欢的。首先，编程工作不累人，基本上就是坐在电脑前打字，不用干重活。再有，我知道数字化是未来的大趋势，所以我觉得从事这行对我的职业发展会有很大帮助。”

范例答案

A: I chose this job as a Chinese teacher mainly because I had always been crazy about Chinese literature. Reading was my only pastime when I was growing up, so studying Chinese literature and then becoming a Chinese teacher seemed like a natural option.

Do you plan to change jobs in the future?

20240702

答

It is possible, there is a old and it says that “Trees die when they move while human live when they move”, so I think it is possible that I may change my job in the future, maybe I’ll resign my job and go to another company, or give up programming and doing another type of work, cause I persue a more better life.

评价

回答中有些停顿和重复词汇，比如多次使用“possible”和“move”，这影响了流畅度。词汇使用基本得体，但表达方式有些直接，缺乏变化和高级词汇。存在一些语法错误，如使用“a more better life”（应为“a better life”），并且句子结构有待改进。

对你的回答进行细微调整后的版本如下：

“It is possible that I might change jobs in the future. There’s an old saying, ‘Trees die when they move, but humans thrive.’ Based on this, I believe that changing environments can be beneficial. Therefore, I might consider leaving my current position for another company, or even switch from programming to a different field altogether. My motivation for such a change would be the pursuit of a better quality of life.”
“未来我可能会换工作。有句老话说，‘树木移位则枯萎，人移位则生长。’基于此，我相信改变环境可能会带来好处。因此，我可能会考虑离开当前职位，转至另一家公司，或者甚至完全转行，从编程换到其他领域。做出这种改变的动力将是追求更好的生活质量。”

这个版本更加流畅，语法也更加正确，同时也用更自然的方式表达了同样的观点。我避免了重复的词汇（如“可能”改为“might”以减少重复使用“possible”），并且改进了一些表达（如“give up programming and doing another type of work”改为“switch from programming to a different field”）以使语言更加地道。此外，我还增加了一些连接词（如“based on this”和“therefore”）来增强回答的逻辑性和连贯性。

下面再给出一个口语化的版本：

“I might change jobs down the line. There’s this old saying, ‘Trees die when they move, but people thrive.’ It means that changing things up can be good. So, I might think about leaving my current job for a different company, or maybe even switch to a totally different field. The main reason would be to have a better quality of life.”
“将来我可能会换工作。有句老话，‘树动死，人动活。’这意味着改变环境可能是件好事。所以，我可能会考虑离开现在的工作，去另一家公司，或者干脆换个完全不同的行当。我这么做主要是为了追求更好的生活质量。”

1. “Down the line”：这个短语通常用来指将来某个时间点发生的事情，特别是经过一段时间后。它是一种非正式的说法，相当于“最终”或“在将来”。

2. “Changing things up” 与 “changing things”：在“change”中加上“up”使得这个短语感觉更动态、更完整，暗示了更彻底或显著的变化。不加“up”的“changing things”依然可用，但可能听起来稍微正式一点，或者对变化的程度强调不够。

3. 在“leaving my current job for a different company”中使用“for”与“to”：在这个上下文中，“for”用来表达离开工作的目的，即加入另一家公司。使用“to”（“leaving my current job to join a different company”）在语法上也是正确的，几乎可以互换使用。然而，“for”有时可以表达更广泛的原因或目的，而“to”通常介绍接下来的直接动作或步骤。这两个介词都可用，但它们可能会略微改变句子的强调点。

范例答案

A: Yes, I do, and this is partly why I’m sitting here today taking this test. What I’m doing isn’t exactly my dream job——I’m doing this only because I believed it would have good job security. But after several years of being in this field, I’ve realised that I really have to pursue my dream, which is to become a fashion designer, and this is why I’m going to further my studies in the UK.

Why did you choose this major?

What are you going to do after you finish your studies?
