Oi! Meu nome é João.
Eu trabalho em um supermercado. Eu sou caixa.
Eu começo a trabalhar às 8 da manhã. Eu termino às 5 da tarde.
Eu gosto do meu trabalho. Eu vejo muitas pessoas.
Meus colegas são legais. Nós trabalhamos juntos. Nós deixamos o supermercado limpo e arrumado.
Ao meio-dia, eu almoço. Eu como um sanduíche e uma fruta.
No fim do dia, eu estou cansado, mas feliz. Eu gosto de ler livros e andar no parque no meu tempo livre.

You've been working for weeks on a project and finally get it finished, but someone else takes the credit — what could be more annoying?

Nothing, according to a new workplace survey! It found that people who steal your credit are the most annoying colleagues to work with.

Jobs site Kickresume asked almost 2,900 people around the world about the things that annoy them at work, and they had a lot to talk about!

Around 85% of people said they've worked with an annoying person.

And annoying colleagues don't just make people roll their eyes — they actually affect productivity too. In fact, almost six out of 10 people said that having annoying colleagues has a big effect on their productivity.

Thirty percent of people have a problem with colleagues who complain too much, while the same number get annoyed by those who don't respect personal space — they always stand a little too close!

Colleagues who steal other people's food from the fridge are also a source of annoyance.

Another common annoyance is bosses who micromanage — watching every move you make.

So what can we do about annoying behavior at work?

Many people say they'd like to talk to the person about it, but most don't have the courage.

Instead, 32% of people said they just try to stay away from the person who is annoying them. But that's not always easy, especially if they're stealing your credit — or your lunch!

Experts suggest speaking to a manager about workplace problems.

But here's a question: how do you know if you're not one of the people annoying your colleagues yourself?

Describe an invention that changed how people's life - IELTS speaking








Describe an invention that changed how people’s life


You should say:

What it was
When it was invented
How people use it

And explain how it has changed peoples lives






“I think the one invention that has really changed how we live in recent years has to be the smartphone, which really has become an integral part of so many people's lives, as well as an item that most people feel they can’t live without.

I guess the smartphone as we know it today was invented by Apple, and hit the mass market back in about 2007 or 8, which really broke new ground and launched a mobile revolution, quickly becoming the one piece of technology everybody wanted to own.

I think the first way the smartphone changed peoples lives was in how it literally put the internet in everyone's pocket, and completely revolutionised the mobile industry. On top of that, it also put a good camera in our pockets, and made us all aspiring photographers overnight, which also led to a huge rise in the different social media platforms.

I really believe that the smartphone and the apps that go with it changed so much in our lives, even the way people work today, and the way we do business. From posting selfies on facebook and online shopping to work related emails or communication the smartphone really has revolutionised just about everybody's life, from the ordinary joe bloggs to the business bigwigs.

Thank you.”

第二部分：
于是你听到了风的歌声慢慢暖了
于是你看到了地的画布渐渐绿了
于是柳丝在舞、燕子在飞
于是桃花红了、杏花白了、油菜花黄了
于是姹紫嫣红、流光溢彩
中国在写着一首关于春天的诗了
