2020年9-12月雅思口语part2&3答案解析：精力充沛的人
Describe a person who is full of energy.
You should say:
Who he or she is
What he or she does
Why he or she is full of energy
And explain how you feel about this person
The person I’d like to describe who is full of energy is my friend, Mary. She’s incredible, actually. I honestly don’t know how she has so much energy and manages to do so much with her energy too, and not waste it. As one example, she always gets up early, goes for a run for an hour, comes home and showers, gets changed, and then has breakfast and then starts to study. After that she always reads, cooks wonderful food, goes out to parties and a lot of social events in the evenings, and seems to have some time to do all sorts of little hobbies in the meantime. I have often wondered how she can remain so focused, so active and manage to fit so many things into one day. I think she must be very healthy, have strong genes, and also perhaps a great sense of confidence, positivity and motivation, too. I feel great when I am with Mary, because she is always encouraging me to join in new experiences and learn new things, but at the same time I feel quite tired in her company. She never seems to get tired or run out of energy and she’s always talking. She’s so talkative. I think some people naturally have a thirst for experiences and a strong appetite for life, and Mary is most certainly one of those people. I feel energized, myself, when I’m in her company, but also she makes me feel that I am a bit lazy, a bit laid-back and perhaps don’t have much get-up-and-go compared to her, so at times I feel a bit inferior, like something is wrong with me. In a way I’d like to be like Mary, but in a way I also don’t think I could cope with having such a busy life and maintaining such positivity whilst juggling so many different hobbies, activities, studies and social engagements. I’m the type of person that needs more free time alone relaxing and just not thinking that much, or doing so much in my free time. I guess we are all different! But at times these kinds of energetic and active people can be a motivating influence to us all!

1. What kind of jobs require much energy?
Lots of jobs require a lot of energy, in different ways. For example, manual jobs require a lot of physical energy, stamina and endurance, whilst mental jobs like being a lawyer, a CEO or a CFO, require a different kind of energy – you need to have a sharp and fast-thinking mind. So, there are different types of energy required for different kinds of jobs and they are all tiring in their own different ways. Sometimes, for example, doing some physical manual work can be tiring on the body, but oddly relaxing on the mind. And the opposite is true of a lot of mentally-tiring jobs, you get exhausted from thinking so much and thinking of so many things at the same time, but your body doesn’t get enough exercise. There are pros and cons of all jobs really.
2. Do you think manual work will all be done by machines in the future?
I think most manual work will be done by machines in the future, but this also has some significant downsides. This has been discussed a lot recently as so much factory work, as an example, is done by machines, robots, basically, and this has resulted in less and less jobs being available to lower-skilled workers who rely on such manual jobs as their main source of income. So, I would not really like to see so many manual jobs being taken over by robots, because this means a lot of people will lose their jobs, and if they don’t have other skills, they may find it incredibly difficult to find work. These are some of the key issues that arise from modernization – issues that governments all over the world are needing to address today, as automation in the workforce is becoming so predominant.
3. Do you think manual workers will earn more in the future?
I am not sure. I don’t really understand that much about economics and the workforce really, but I’d guess that they will because the more scarce a job is, usually the better paid it becomes. So, say, for example, certain types of factory jobs, perhaps more skilled manual labour, become more scarce, then those that can do those jobs might end up getting paid more. I’m not entirely sure if it works like this, so it’s really hard for me to say. My friend, who studies, economics, is really into this topic, actually. He has studied a lot about GDP, and wage gaps, and pay rates and things like this because he aims to be an employment lawyer in the future as well as an economist. I often listen to him talking about these topics, but then I get lost because it’s such a complex thing, and there are so manty factors involved in the economy and workforce of a country, that I don’t have enough knowledge of the subject area to understand it properly.
