Let me answer the IEL speaking part one
0:02
topic questions about working with old
0:05
people. My name is Julius. I'm a band
0:08
nine achiever of the IEL speaking test.
0:11
Let's begin. Have you ever worked with
0:14
old people? Yes, I have. Actually, in my
0:17
first part-time job at a fast food
0:19
restaurant, I worked alongside several
0:23
older colleagues. If I'm not mistaken,
0:26
they're in their 50s. They're
0:29
hardworking and experienced. In fact, I
0:32
was under their wing when I first
0:34
started. With them, I learned the value
0:38
of time and hard work. Yes. But not in a
0:42
formal job. I worked with old people
0:45
once at a charity event in our city. I
0:48
was a volunteer helping raise funds for
0:51
the earthquake victims in the southern
0:54
part of our country. It was a fun and at
0:58
the same time challenging because some
1:01
of them became moody when the work
1:06
Are you happy to work with the people
1:08
who are older than you? Yes. And that's
1:11
because I can learn a lot of things from
1:13
them. Old people are seasoned. They have
1:16
a wealth of knowledge that they can
1:18
share with young people like me. It'll
1:21
be a privilege to work with them.
1:24
Definitely. I don't have any problem
1:26
working with them. In fact, I welcome
1:28
the opportunity. As they say, wisdom
1:31
often comes with age. That means I can
1:34
learn a lot of things from them that can
1:36
help me develop my skills. What are the
1:39
benefits of being friends with old
1:41
people or working with old people? I
1:45
think the benefits include gaining
1:47
wisdom and learning to be more
1:50
understanding and patient with them. As
1:53
you know, old people have been through
1:56
ups and downs. So, they can share some
1:59
life lessons with you that can help you
2:02
develop yourself as a person. Also,
2:05
working with them or being friends with
2:07
them makes you become more patient and
2:09
understanding because you know that some
2:12
of them are emotionally sensitive and
2:15
sometimes physically weak. You don't
2:18
want them to get hurt. I believe their
2:21
wisdom and perspective on life can help
2:23
you learn valuable lessons that can
2:26
surely aid you in so many ways. I also
2:29
think that they can be good mentors at
2:31
work or they can be supportive and loyal
2:36
as a friend because they avoid drama
2:39
which is common among young people. They
2:43
value steady and genuine kind of
2:47
Do you enjoy spending time with old
2:50
people? Yes, I do. Especially those who
2:52
are caring, understanding, loving, and
2:56
thoughtful like my grandparents. Being
2:59
with them is comforting, and seeing them
3:02
getting older and older makes me
3:05
appreciate life even more. Yes, but it
3:08
depends on the person. There are old
3:10
people who are really nice and there are
3:13
those who aren't. Well, it's so
3:15
stressful to be with old people who are
3:18
always in a bad mood. I'm sorry, but I
3:21
can't be with them as they only drain my
3:24
energy. Are you still stuck at 6.5? Then
3:27
you should prepare strategically. My
