How do I answer 'Do you work or are you a student?'
Answer in the present tense with the situation you are actually in, then add one specific detail about your week. Two sentences is enough. If you are doing both, name the bigger one first and mention the other in the same breath: I'm a student, and I also work part-time in a pharmacy.

The examiner will follow whichever half interests them, and you have prepared one line for each.
Give the situation in the present tense first, then one detail, then stop. The most common mistake is describing the job you want instead of the week you are having, which produces a long answer with no facts in it.
