Activity near water
Do you like to go to places near water (lakes, rivers or the sea)?
Yes, I’m really into going to these places. I think it’s easy to understand why most people gravitate to places near water. The main reason is that I can find the water very soothing and calming. Whenever I’m under stress, I just go straight to the lake nearby so that I can feel relieved. Moreover, I am a big swimmer and love being in the water. That was the first sport I mastered as a child and I felt lucky to know how to swim that soon because there is always a feeling of weightlessness and freedom when I’m near open water.

What do you like to do there?

Band 9.0 Sample Answer
It’s difficult to predict the future as to what job will dominate the labor market, but I’m pretty sure that teaching English as a foreign language stands a good chance of being one of the hottest professions in the upcoming years. And, to be honest, I’m working hard on enhancing my English teaching ability to prepare myself properly for this golden opportunity and become an IELTS examiner down the road.
Teaching English requires patience and perseverance and if you’re an impetuous and bad-tempered person, then this noble profession is not cut out for you. In this job, I will have to get exposed to people of different educational and cultural backgrounds, some of them might be too stubborn to be a good listener or simply they’re too lazy to acquire any knowledge. The two qualities I have mentioned is my strong suit actually. I have been employed as an English teacher and somehow learnt about the art of imparting knowledgeand encourage students to actively participate in the lessons without being fed up with the students, I think this characteristic can be tackled over time and that being not too lenientwith the students means I care for them pretty much.
At the moment, teaching social subjects like Literature or History admittedly doesn’t guarantee a lucrative income. Yet it’s not the same for English as it’s an international language and is a prerequisite for international students or those working in multinational corporations. So, l speculate that in the foreseeable future the job as an IELTS examiner will promise a bright future.
Vocabulary
As to (phrase) concerning someone or something
Labor market (phrase) the number of people who are available to work, considered together with all the available jobs
Stand a chance (phrase) to be likely to achieve something
Down the road (idiom) in the future
Impetuous (adj) done quickly, without thinking about what the effects will be
Bad –tempered (adj) angry, irritable, or ungracious
Cut out for someone (phrasal verb) to be the right type of person to do something

Be fed up with (phrasal verb) be bored with something/somebody

Speaking Part 3
What jobs are important in your opinion?
I believe it’s relative to what is most needed at various, particular times. However, If you ask me, I would say that the most important and useful occupation to modern society is farmer. In recent times, the vast majority of food is grown by large corporate companies using expensive chemicals and pesticides. However, without those who care for the crops and without traditional farmers, modern society could not be sustained at its current population density. Therefore, farmers are a necessary part of modern society, and complete a very important and useful task, despite not being a part of urban society. Besides, teaching are also regarded as one of the most important jobs because they have some of the greatest burdens on their shoulders, and could tell you more of what society would be like than anyone else alive today.
Population density (phrase) the number of people per unit of area, usually quoted per square kilometer or square mile
Is it necessary to motivate employees to do their job?
Motivating employees play an absolutely crucial role in any business. A motivated workforce can lead to a high productivity and help all organizations or companies attain their business goals. Therefore, employee motivation should be a main objective in any organizational and business plans.
