Read the article about teleworking and match the topic sentences (A–D)
to the paragraphs 1–4.
E On the other hand, teleworking has a few disadvantages.
F In conclusion, I believe that teleworking will change the way we work
in the future.
G Teleworking is a fresh and new type of employment.
H Working from home has many advantages.
The Pros and Cons of TeleworkingIt allows people to work from home using their telephones,
modems and computers and communicating with their employer and coworkers
through the Internet. Teleworking can make the way we work easier
and less stressful, in conclusion at the same time, it can cause several
problems.
Firstlyit allows employees to work in the relaxed
atmosphere of their homes. This means that they can plan their working day
in a more productive and convenient way. Also, teleworking is less timeconsuming.
People do not need to commute to their jobs and, as a result, they
have more time to work effectively. Finally, teleworking can have a positive
effect on the environment. If people in large cities work from home and stop
using cars and buses, there will be less traffic and therefore less pollution.But, some employees find it difficult to concentrate at home.
This problem actually makes their work harder and more
stressful. What is more, people who work at home may feel lonely at times,
because they are not involved in the everyday life of an office. This can lead
to unhappiness and boredom.
It may have a few disadvantages, but I believe it not only
offers people the opportunity to work in a new and original way, but it
benefits our environment too.VOCABULARY & GRAMMAR TEST
