Hi, this is IELTSIELTS.com lesson 193. Thank you for leaving a like and share on this work, and remember to go to IELTSIELTS.com to access over 100 repeat-after-me lessons just like this one. This week, we're looking at an IELTS Speaking Part 1 series of questions that ask you to speak about a typical day in your life. I'll read the questions to you now. Do you work or study?

What is a typical day like for you? How do you usually start your day? Do you prefer mornings or evenings? Has your daily routine changed recently? Is there any part of your daily routine that you would like to change? Do you think it's important to have a fixed daily routine? Alright, first thing, let's listen to the sample so you can hear the model spoken naturally. Here it is. Do you work or study?

I work full-time as an electrician. My job involves installing and repairing electrical systems in residential and commercial buildings. What is a typical day like for you?

My day usually starts early. I head to a job site or a client's house depending on the project for the day. Some tasks involve wiring new buildings, while others require troubleshooting faulty systems. There's always something new to learn, which keeps the job interesting. After work, I usually unwind by spending time with my family. How do you usually start your day?

I like to begin my day with a solid routine. I wake up around 6am, have a quick breakfast, and check my schedule for the day. Once I arrive at the work site, I go over the plans with my team and make sure we have all the tools and materials we need. Do you prefer mornings or evenings? I prefer mornings because I feel the most productive then. I like getting an early start on the job, especially when working outdoors before the heat of the day sets in.

Has your daily routine changed recently? Yes, it has. A few months ago, I started taking on more complex projects, which means my days have become longer and sometimes unpredictable. I've also been doing more night shifts for emergency electrical repairs, which has slightly changed my sleeping pattern. Is there any part of your daily routine that you would like to change? If I could, I'd like to have a bit more free time in the evenings.

Why? Sometimes, after long shifts, I don't have much energy left to do other things I enjoy, like meeting friends or working on personal projects. Do you think it's important to have a fixed daily routine? Yes, I think having a structured routine is essential, especially in a job like mine where safety and efficiency are key. A routine helps me stay organized and ensures that I don't overlook important details.

That said, flexibility is also important because unexpected situations, like urgent repairs, can disrupt a fixed schedule. Thank you. Okay, we will now start this week's speech shadowing exercise. In this week's free sample exercise, you will repeat the response to the first two questions from the model. I'll read the section of the response again to you now just to refresh your memory.

So the examiner asks, "Do you work or study?" I work full-time as an electrician. My job involves installing and repairing electrical systems in residential and commercial buildings. What is a typical day like for you? My day usually starts early. I head to a job site or a client's house depending on the project for the day.

Some tasks involve wiring new buildings, while others require troubleshooting faulty systems. There's always something new to learn, which keeps the job interesting. After work, I usually unwind by spending time with my family. Okay, let's go ahead and start this week's speech shadowing exercise. If this is your first time doing a speech shadowing exercise, remember you should be speaking aloud as you listen.

So, you will first hear a portion of the sample, and then you will be given a pause within which to repeat what you have heard. And the point of the exercise is to try to adjust your pronunciation to sound as much like the model as possible. Remember that at IELTSIELTS.com, just $25 per month gives you access to the full shadowing lessons. Okay, here's this week's speech shadowing exercise. Enjoy! Do you work or study?
