不知道为什么，雅思口语里提到well-paid job很多孩子会想到programmer，大概是进入到科技时代，他们就是可以用键盘改变世界的人吧!如此powerful的职业，必然报酬颇丰。不管实际情况如何，在考场确实可以选择这个job聊，只要给出理由即可。其实，任何的工作都有着可以成为高薪工作的理由啊，例如教师，可以说“教育乃治国之本”，国家特别重视教育，所以老师的待遇贼高!医生的待遇也很特别高啊，当然“医生收红包”那段就不要说了……
说完了职业那部分，别忘了再解释一下为什么自己会be good at，除了跟自己的兴趣爱好吻合，也可以是因为自己有这方面的talent呀之类的。
I’m confident that I would be an excellent programmer with decent payment in the future.
I’m a complete technophile, I’ve always been fascinated by technological stuff like computers, Internet, smart phones, especially apps and software.
The modern world is made up of various programs. It’s fair to say everything in every aspect of our lives has been computerized to some extent. It’s already become an indispensible part of our daily life.
It’s not my major in college, but as a computer nut, I fancy myself as a self-taught expert. And I’m a quick study, I bought self-study materials and watch tutorials online, and I just got the hang of it pretty soon. And now I’ve had a good command of the knowledge needed to be a qualified programmer.
And I know for a fact that all the programmers are well paid. The demand is high for this job, I mean, our society needs people like us to create something new and entertaining, to facilitate people’s daily life and bring more joy and recreational activities for people.
I know many people who have changed their major and started to work in this area. So it’s fair to say it’s a promising career with great job prospects.
