Daily IELTS Answers – Boredom (Part 3 – Band 7.0)

1. What kinds of jobs do you think would be boring to do?

I think maybe being a politician, because you have to talk all the time and you really don’t have anything interesting in your life, and you keep lying and making up stories, so that’s the main reason I find this a boring job.

Phrasal verb: make up something – to create or invent a fake story / lie

2. Why do some people agree to do boring jobs?

I believe that mainly it’s for the money. I think that everyone needs to earn money and that’s life, you want to be a breadwinner, you want to make ends meet, so I think it’s mainly for the financial benefit.

Collocation: earn money
Noun: a breadwinner – the person who provides the money, food or safety for their family
Phrase: to make ends meet – to earn enough money to pay your bills, rent, debts etc.

3. Do you think all the boring jobs will be done by robots in the future?

Yes for sure. I think A.I will dominate everything in our lives. It has started already, we can see this in the USA, which use robots more than a human workforce. I think it will be an epidemic all over the world, and I think that’s something positive, because they are obedient to us, they do their job in an diligent and effective way and they get the job done.

Vocab: human workforce
Vocab: obedient (adj.) – always follow orders, does not disobey
Vocab: diligent (adj.) – hardworking, never late or lazy

4. Some people say that it’s good to be bored sometimes. Do you agree?

Actually no, I think it has negative consequences on your physical and psychological health, so I think you should keep your mind and body stimulated, and search for things that make you happy, so eating will raise your serotonin level and that will make you happy, and you can hang out with your friends, so you don’t have to get bored or feel boredom in any way.

Collocation: stimulate your mind / body
