1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,490
OC One of the main questions that you're going to get, it's going to involve are you a student or do

2
00:00:06,490 --> 00:00:07,450
you have a job?

3
00:00:07,780 --> 00:00:15,550
So here are some sample answers in case you are a student and you need to answer these types of questions.

4
00:00:16,390 --> 00:00:22,090
Please pay attention to some of the phrases that I'm using the grammar, the fluency, language, the

5
00:00:22,090 --> 00:00:23,200
vocabulary.

6
00:00:25,270 --> 00:00:28,360
So let's go ahead and move forward and get into this.

7
00:00:29,470 --> 00:00:33,160
So part one work or study question.

8
00:00:33,460 --> 00:00:36,970
So they're going to ask you a question like you see here.

9
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:39,460
Do you work or study?

10
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:43,060
And a typical answer will be something like this.

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:54,000
I used to be employed as an archaeologist, but now I'm a full time student in the field of ancient

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,870
philosophy.

13
00:00:55,710 --> 00:01:01,950
I've been studying this subject for the past year and plan to complete my doctorate by 2021.

14
00:01:03,460 --> 00:01:10,270
If you notice here you see the language in purple used to was really good fluency language we're using

15
00:01:10,270 --> 00:01:14,620
synonyms employed for work full time student for study.

16
00:01:15,890 --> 00:01:17,900
Field of dealing with study.

17
00:01:18,830 --> 00:01:20,990
Here we're using one of the perfect tenses.

18
00:01:20,990 --> 00:01:22,910
I've been here.

19
00:01:22,910 --> 00:01:24,560
We're using a different word form.

20
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,490
Instead of studying, I'm using, studying, showing that I can change the word form.

21
00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:32,000
And the word doctorate is related also to studying.

22
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,080
Next question.

23
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,380
What do you like most about this subject?

24
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:48,940
The thing is, I never thought I'd enjoy philosophical studies, but now I've been enamored with the

25
00:01:48,940 --> 00:01:54,520
continuing validity of ancient concepts in our modern technological world.

26
00:01:54,550 --> 00:02:02,440
What I mean by that is the idea of utilitarianism was applicable 200 years ago and is still debated

27
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,160
today on it's solving the ills of modern society.

28
00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:15,310
The thing is, is, of course, as fluency language, again, we're not going to use these words in

29
00:02:15,310 --> 00:02:22,600
the question in joy instead of saying, like enamored with instead of saying like more fluency language.

30
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:28,930
What I mean by that is utilitarianism is related to the topic of philosophy.

31
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,420
We're using a compound sentence here and a compound sentence in the first part.

32
00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:35,710
Right.

33
00:02:35,740 --> 00:02:41,350
That's how you can really create and hit all those different levels within the rubric.

34
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:48,400
And our our final question, is your subject popular to study in your country?

35
00:02:53,260 --> 00:03:00,070
Although philosophy has become favored in Western countries, it has not taken hold in modern China

36
00:03:00,070 --> 00:03:02,500
to a high degree as in the past.

37
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,780
Unfortunately, materialism attracts most Chinese citizens.

38
00:03:07,930 --> 00:03:14,980
Therefore, they seek a doctorate based upon the wealth it can garner instead of the wisdom and knowledge

39
00:03:14,980 --> 00:03:19,090
imparted by Lhasa Mosi or Confucius.

40
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:23,260
Here.

41
00:03:23,260 --> 00:03:29,170
We're starting out with a complex sentence that shows I can do a say a complex sentence properly.

42
00:03:30,370 --> 00:03:36,310
We're using a lot of really good phrases like to a high degree, taken hold.

43
00:03:36,670 --> 00:03:42,370
Unfortunately, it really helps us to really extend the previous the previous sentence that helps with

44
00:03:42,370 --> 00:03:43,390
your fluency.

45
00:03:44,020 --> 00:03:51,610
Other really good vocabulary based upon is a really good, really good collocation Garner which is money

46
00:03:51,610 --> 00:03:54,940
which means like earning another good vocabulary word there.

47
00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:57,310
Another good phrase imparted by.

48
00:03:58,740 --> 00:04:04,650
Those are the kind of phrases that you want to be able to use, the type of language you want to be

49
00:04:04,650 --> 00:04:07,470
able to use to really, really increase your score.
