IELTS speaking part 2:
Describe an interesting job you want to do in the future.
You should say:
I have always been good at English since I started learning it in middle school. As a result, I always want to work in a field that can make use of that. So, I have got a bachelor’s degree in international business and worked as an export-import coordinator. However, the stress from dealing with difficult customers made me quit after 2 years. Now, I would like to become an IELTS English teacher, and I am actually preparing to become one.
This is because there is an increasing demand for IELTS teachers in Vietnam as 12th graders who receive an IELTS score of 4 to 6.5 and above will be exempted from the English test of the national high school graduation exams and admitted to several top universities. Consequently, more and more IELTS private institutions have been built, and they only require their applicants for teacher positions to have an IELTS score of 7.5 and above. I prepared for about 1 year before sitting the test. For that year, I have tried to write 2 essays for the writing part and answer 3 speaking questions each day, as well as listen to one listening test and write it down each week.
In my opinion, being an English teacher is not really psychologically demanding as most of the time they work with students, who tend to respect their teachers. In addition, private institutions typically provide their teachers with teaching materials such as plan books and textbooks, and they do not really need to prepare lesson plans. I have seen many of my friends enrolling in a course of these institutions and quitting right after 3 weeks. So, I think this job is a rather easy job with a decent wage. However, I plan to work for one institution for about 4 years and gradually gain a reputation and network. Then I would like to open a small one-teacher private institution myself in my own home. And one class would include more than 10 students. I think this would be a very lucrative and stable business.
