Question 15

Do you like your job?
Is there anything you dislike about your job?

Answer 15

(For those who love challenges)
Yeah I do actually.
What I love the most about my job is that it never gets boring. Mainly because I have an opportunity to take on new challenges all the time, which I really like. In fact, the more challenging the task or the project, the more I like it.
You know, if I could do the work with my eyes closed, I swear I would die of boredom, and I would quit my job even though it pays really well.
So every time my manager gives me anew challenging task, I feel totally psyched خرکیف (thrilled).
You know, there is just something beautiful about encountering obstacles and finding ways to overcome them. And then every time I finish a difficult project or task successfully, I feel like I’m flying . My confidence skyrockets and I feel proud of myself, which helps me grow both professionally and personally, and expand my comfort zone.

Comfort zone:
( موقعیت/حالت ) بدون چالش و سختی
حاشیه امن

Question 16

Do you like your job?
Is there anything you dislike about your job?

Answer 16

(For nurses)
(Yes I Like) Absolutely. The most rewarding thing about being a nurse is making a difference in the lives of others, whether it be helping patients recover more quickly or helpig them pass away as peacefully and comfortably as possible. I find real satisfaction in providing good medical care and emotional support to patients (and oftentimes to their relatives). I find real satisfaction in providing good medical care and emotional support to patients (and oftentimes to their relatives).

Is there anything you dislike about your job?
(For nurses)
I’d rather say there are things that are really hard to manage or cope with. The **hardest thing **about being a nurse is that you have to handle extremely high levels of stress, ‘cause, fisrt of all, you have to deal with life and death every day.
Plus, you never know what’s gonna happen in the next second. And there’s always someone who’s complaining about something. Sometimes it feels like the’re just trying to test the limits of your patience.
Also, you have to work long hours, work on weekends, holidays and during night shifts, which is also stressful and exhausting.
What’s more, you spend most of the time wallking, standing, lifting and bending, sometimes moving heavy equipment.
It’s a demanding job. But despite all this, I don’t think I could do anything but nursing now.

Question 17

Is there anything you dislike about your job?

Answer 17

(for those who have deadlines)
The one thing I hate about my job is that I always have to work against the clock to meet deadlines. Unrealistic deadlines. And believe me, I know the difference between ‘unrealistic’ and just ‘challenging’. So what I’m** dreaming of now** is a slower paced job ‘cause I’d like to feel one step ahead, not constantly behind.

Work against the clock:
به کوب کار کردن

Question 18

Is there anything you dislike about your job?
(for people who have too much responsibilities)

Answer 18

The only thing I don’t like is too much responsibilities. You know, I feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders. And it’s exhausting in the peak of projects. Of course, when I chose this job, I knew what I might faced with (was getting into), but now I’m feeling so overhwhelmed that I just wanna stop and shake my shoulders to get rid of this burden.

Question 19

Is there anything you dislike about your job?
(for people who have too much responsibilities)

Answer 19

One thing that makes me feel unhappy is that I have too much on my plate these days. And I’ve noticed that it has already started taking its toll on my work productivity ‘cause having terrifyingly long **to-do lists **day by day does nothing but prevent me from focusing on tasks that are critical to the success of the company.
And the worst thing is that I don’t feel comfortable delegating.
So I just continue carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders, feeling stressed and exhausted all the time.

Have too much on one’s plate:
خیلی سر شلوغ بودن
Take it’s toll:
تاثیر منفی گذاشتن
Delegating:
تفویض کردن

Question 20

Why do you dislike about your studies?

Answer 20

► To wake up early
►To sit grueling exams
► Too many subjects
► Too much theory and too little practical experiences
► So many assignments that no one can do all of them thoroughly
► Obsolete teaching methods

I don’t like:
► School restricts my freedom
► I feel like I’m in prison
► the teachers don’t motivate us to study
► the teachers are too strict
► the teachers get angry for no obvious reason
► the teachers pile too much work onto students
► our lessons are boring
► we are taught subjects that are of no practical utility in our career
► We memorize enormous amounts of information which is mainly irrelevant to our future lives
► We are supposed to study at the same pace
► all students are supposed to process information at the same speed
► the school curriculum doesn’t take into account individual differences and capabilities of students
I don’t like to study as:
►I struggle to complete assgnements
► The workload causes a lot of stress

reson to dislike team projects:
I dislike team projects because of:
►Unequal involvement and participation of different members
► irresponsible team members
I dislike team projects as:
►everyone gets the same grade irrespective of how much each person has done

Question 21

Why do you dislike about your studies?

Answer 21

As a highschool student, I can say that I dislike school very strongly mainly because the teachers **pile so much work onto us **that we hardly get 5 hours of sleep a night during an average school week. You see, no matter when I go to bed, I have to wake up early because my classes usually start at 8 am. To top it off, most subjects are boring and irrelevant to our future careers. So it causes a lt of stress, making me and my fellow students reluctant to study.

Well, my pet hate is that the school curriculum doesn’t take into account individual differences and capabilities of students. All of us are different, but we are supposed to study at the same pace.
Also, I don’t like the fact that our educational system relies heavily on teamwork. Of course, I realise they’re trying to teach us to collaborate, but I think it’s unfair that everyone gets the same grade irrespective of how much each person has contributed.

Answer 24

Well, on the whole, ‘no’ as this is what I still dream about.
However, now I realize that there are quite a lot of things in this career which I didn’t think about at a younger age, for example the fact that working under pressure is robbing oriole of their life, taking them from families and pushing them to participate in the rat race in order to recognition and good money
