>>>>近期雅思口语高频话题
之前在“高薪职业”的雅思口语话题介绍过程序猿，这个季度又出现了“职业”相关话题，不过比“高薪”那个简单一些，因为我们这里只需要解释一下自己为什么想要从事这个interesting job就好了。另外，这里再强调一下，雅思口语里面出现的interesting，不一定非得是逗得你嗝儿嘎的那种，只要你感觉“有的聊”就OK。
My dream job is to be a programmer.
First of all, my major in college will be computer science. I’ll have so many required courses like software engineering, java and things like that, so after I graduate, I’ll have enough professional expertise to be qualified for this job.
Also, this job can be fascinating. Many people think that being a programmer is all about sitting in front of a computer all day, typing on the keyboard, writing endless codes and programs, which is super boring. However, it’s actually quite the opposite. If you are in our circle, you’ll think differently. I mean, we always consider ourselves as ‘god’, we are able to create a whole new world, you see, we make the rules in those games, and we decide what kind of skills those characters can have, and we think of ways to make people’s lives easier by developing those applications you can download in your smart phones.
So if you ask me, to some extent, programmers have changed the world. They revolutionized the way we live. For example, now people can use the app on their phone to order takeout or book a taxi ride. They could also keep in touch with their friends and family members using those social networking apps. In the past, if you want to contact others, we could only make phone calls or send text messages, but now, we could send a voice message or even video chat with them.
So, as you can see, this job is really meaningful, and I would feel fulfilled if I could be a programmer.
