Speaking test, Part 1 (Interview) questions


1. Do you work or study?


Right now, I work full time at a well-known tech company as a software developer.


2. Where do you work?


I work at a software company called TechSpark, in San Francisco. The company specialises in developing digital solutions for businesses.


3. What do you like about your work?


I've always loved solving complex problems and puzzles, and basically as a software developer that's what I get to do all day. My job requires creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. Also, my company's work environment encourages collaboration and continuous learning.


4. What would make your work more interesting?


I'd like to be involved in more research and development opportunities. An opportunity to be on the cutting edge of new and innovative solutions in the tech world excites and motivates me a lot.


5. What do you dislike about your job?


The tight and sometimes unrealistic deadlines set by project managers are something that I really don't enjoy, and this often causes a lot of unnecessary pressure and stress.


6. What change would you like to make at work?


I think it would be great if we switched to a more flexible working model that included more work from home days. I feel like this hybrid model would greatly improve our productivity.


7. How many hours do you work each week?


I generally work the standard 40 hours a week, but this can also stretch to around 50 to 60 hours, when we are on a tight deadline.
