Part 3
4. Read the Part 3 questions. Answer two of the questions and record your answer.
1. In your opinion, is it a good idea for families to work together?
2. Many people think that work experience is the best way to learn about a job. What is your point of view?
3. In your opinion, do people work more now than in the past?
4. Do you think working from home is a good idea?
Model answers:
1. That's an interesting question. In my opinion,
I don't think it's a good idea for families to
work together. For example, I have to work very
hard in my job and I often feel sad or angry.
But then I go home to my family and it's OK.
It would be difficult if I had an argument at
work, with my family, and then the argument
continued at home.
2. Maybe. I think that work experience is very
useful and you can learn a lot about the job.
For example, maybe you don't like the job and
want to look for a different career. I think
it's also important to get a qualification and
to go to college, then you can learn about
background of the job.
3. Yes, definitely. We have computers and mobile
phones and lots of people work from home
today. It is normal. In the past, I think people
travelled to a company and worked there, and
then went home. All the work was done in the
company. Today the world is very busy and
people work more in their free time because they
need money or because they have to work hard.
4. I'm not sure. I think it's a relaxing way to do a
job because there aren't any noisy colleagues
there. You can work flexible hours too which
is good. But you need a big house and a desk
and equipment, so it's difficult and expensive.
Maybe it's a good idea to work at home for a
day or two days but not every day.
