Chắc hẳn ai trong chúng ta cũng suy nghĩ nhiều về công việc mình muốn làm. Vậy đã bao giờ bạn suy nghĩ về một công việc nào đó mà bản thân không muốn làm trong tương lai không? Chúng ta hãy cùng nhau nói về chủ đề này trong phần thi IELTS Speaking part 2 cùng SOL IELTS nhé.
Describe a job you don't want to do in the future/ Describe a job you would not like to do.
You should say:
There are lots of jobs that I wouldn’t want to do! But I think the worst of those would be a bus driver in a big city.
I hate traffic. I really hate traffic in cities here – there are too many people, too many cars and too many bad drivers to be honest. I really do not like being in traffic here, so I cannot imagine how stressful it would be to actually be driving a bus all day long as a job. It would be my idea of a living nightmare!
I know about the job because everyone is aware of this, it’s a common profession, it’s not a strange or bizarre job. I think it’s a difficult job because it involves a massive test of one’s patience. Also, it’s tiring driving a bus all day. I actually drive a car and I find that really tiring after just an hour in this traffic, so I cannot imagine how tiring it would be to drive all day every day – especially something big like a bus – you have to pay very close attention to the road and be constantly aware of really bad drivers all around and ahead of you. I’d hate it, I really would hate it with a passion. I feel very sorry for city bus drivers, and I sincerely admire their patience!

The job that I wouldn't want to pursue in the future is working as a waste collector. I first learned about this job from observing the local sanitation workers in my neighborhood and reading about their responsibilities in the news.
I consider this job to be exceptionally challenging due to various factors. Firstly, it involves handling and sorting through all kinds of waste, which can be unhygienic and potentially hazardous to one's health. The physical demands of lifting heavy garbage bags and working in different weather conditions make it physically strenuous as well. Moreover, waste collectors often face societal stigma, and their contributions to maintaining cleanliness and environmental sustainability are not always fully appreciated. The job requires a high level of resilience and a strong sense of duty, as the work can be monotonous, yet essential for the well-being of the community.
The primary reason I wouldn't want to pursue this job is the demanding nature of the work and the potential impact on one's health. Additionally, the societal perception and lack of recognition for such vital roles can make the job emotionally challenging. While I deeply respect those who choose this profession, I personally feel it's not a career path I would find fulfilling due to the physical and emotional toll it takes.

Well, in my observation, many young people today are inclined towards jobs that allow them to express their creativity and innovation. Fields like technology, digital marketing, and creative industries seem to be popular among the youth. They often seek dynamic and flexible work environments that encourage personal and professional growth.
Personally, I find value in both physical and mental work. However, considering the evolving job landscape, I believe jobs that involve more mental effort are becoming increasingly important. Mental work often requires problem-solving skills and creativity, which are crucial in today's fast-paced and competitive world.
When choosing a job, individuals should consider a variety of factors. These include their interests and passion, the potential for career growth, the company's work culture, and the alignment of the job with their skills and values. Additionally, factors like work-life balance and job security are also significant considerations.
In my opinion, while a competitive salary is essential for a comfortable life, interest in the job is equally crucial for long-term satisfaction. Finding a balance between a job that aligns with one's passion and offers a reasonable salary is ideal. It ensures both financial stability and a sense of fulfillment in one's professional life.
Artificial Intelligence is undoubtedly transforming the job market. While it may lead to the automation of routine tasks, it also opens up opportunities for more complex and creative roles. People will need to adapt by acquiring skills that complement AI, such as critical thinking and emotional intelligence, to remain valuable in the workforce.
Choosing a career involves considering one's strengths, weaknesses, interests, and long-term goals. Additionally, the potential for continuous learning and adaptation to industry changes is crucial. A fulfilling career is often one that aligns with an individual's values and offers room for personal and professional development.
Addressing unemployment due to technology requires a multi-faceted approach. Governments and businesses should invest in education and training programs to equip individuals with skills that align with emerging technologies. Additionally, creating policies that promote a smooth transition for workers affected by automation and encouraging innovation in new industries can help mitigate the impact.
Yes, in my country, it's quite common for people to relocate for work opportunities. With globalization and the interconnectedness of industries, individuals often move to major cities where there are more job prospects and diverse career options. It's seen as a strategic move to enhance one's career and gain exposure to different work environments.
