Answers to IELTS speaking questions. Work What do you do? Actually I do nothing for a living now since I’m not eligible to work in the USA because of type of my visa. Before I moved to Chicago, I had been working as a software developer for a prestigious company in Moscow. I was well-paid and had other good benefits such as flexi-time and bonuses but I didn't really enjoy doing it. So currently I help people with Russian language and create my own Grammar Course and that is what really makes me happy. Also I started changing my lifestyle in order to become more eco-friendly, to reduce my carbon footprint and waste and I share the information about it. What are your future plans? As I am fond of teaching Russian I’m going to become an online teacher on the website italki.com. Other than that I’d like to spread awareness about climate change solutions and what individuals can do to prevent global warming and environmental pollution. What do you like/dislike about your job? What I most like about teaching Russian is to figure out with the logic of my mother tongue and find the best way to explain it to my students. {I conduct lessons via Skype, but even online it feels like a magic when my student starts understand what seemed to him or her strange or difficult in Russian before.} Another reason why it appeals to me is that I love communicate with people and help them achieve their goals. Finally, I make slides and conduct lessons in English and it really helps me improve my English language skills. However, I dislike format my slides and draw grammar tables because it’s quite boring.
