Yeah, I do. IT CHECKS ALL THE BOXES. You know, it pays well. It's never boring. And what I like the most is that I have an opportunity to take on new challenges all the time. In fact, the more challenging the task, the more I like it.
Well, I guess I could say I like my job, but IT DOESN'T CHECK ALL THE IMPORTANT BOXES. I’ve got way too much on my plate and hardly any time to switch off.
Yeah I do. What I love the most about my job is that it never gets boring. Mainly because I have an opportunity to take on new challenges all the time, which I really like. In fact, the more challenging the task or the project, the more I like it. You know, if I could do the work with my eyes closed, I swear I would die of boredom, and I would quit my job even though it pays really well. So every time my boss gives me a new challenging task, I feel totally psyched. You know, there is just something beautiful about encountering obstacles and finding ways to overcome them. And then every time I finish a difficult project or task successfully, I feel like I’m flying. My confidence skyrockets and I feel proud of myself, which helps me grow both professionally and personally, and expand my comfort zone.

Absolutely. The most rewarding thing about being a nurse is making a difference in the lives of others, whether it be helping patients recover more quickly or helping them pass away as peacefully and comfortably as possible. I find real satisfaction in providing good medical care and emotional support to patients (and oftentimes to their relatives).

I'd rather say there are things that are really hard to manage or cope with. The hardest thing about being a nurse is that you have to handle extremely high levels of stress 'cause, first of all, you have to deal with life and death every day. Plus, you never know what's gonna happen in the next second. And there's always someone who's complaining about something. Sometimes it feels like they're just trying to test the limits of your patience. Also, you have to work long hours, work on weekends, holidays and during night shifts, which is also stressful and exhausting. What's more, you spend most of the time walking, standing, lifting and bending, sometimes moving heavy equipment. It's a demanding job. But despite all this, I don't think I could do anything but nursing now. (You can find the video featuring this answer on our YouTube channel called IELTS Speaking Assistant, playlist SAMPLE ANSWERS)
The one thing I hate about my job is that I always have to work against the clock to meet deadlines. Unrealistic deadlines. And believe me, I know the difference between 'unrealistic' and just 'challenging'. So what I'm dreaming of now is a slower paced job 'cause I'd like to feel one step ahead, not constantly behind.

The only thing I don't like is too much responsibility. You know, I feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders. And it's exhausting. Of course, when I chose this job, I knew what I was getting into, but now I'm feeling so overwhelmed that I just wanna stop and shake my shoulders to get rid of this burden.

One thing that makes me feel unhappy is that I have too much on my plate these days. And I've noticed that it has already started taking its toll on my work productivity 'cause having terrifyingly long to-do lists day by day does nothing but prevent me from focusing on tasks that are critical to the success of the company. And the worst thing is that I don't feel comfortable delegating. So I just continue carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders, feeling stressed and exhausted all the time.
