Do you work or are you a student? These are common questions at the start of the speaking test:
1. Do you work or are you a student?
2. Do you like your job / course? Why / why not?
Example answers:
1. Before I came to England I was working as an accountant, but at the
moment I'm studying English because I hope to do a Master's here.
2. Yes, I really like my job because it's interesting and I work with a great
team of people. OR: Yes, I enjoy studying English, but my real aim is to
do a Master's and then find a job in an international company.
Note: Don't ask the examiner: "Do you mean in my country or here in
England?" - it doesn't matter. Don't worry if you have a job and study at the
same time - you can mention both.
