My Views on Working from Home

On weekdays, as people wake up and make the commute to work, hundreds of people dream of the day when they can work from home. With the integration of technology and innovation into work and home lives, it is delighted to find that we are now able to turn this dream into a reality. Gone are the days when people have to attend meetings in person. Now, those who work at home can communicate with colleagues via mobile phone, computer, and other digital devices.

Regarding working from home, what firstly comes to our mind? Apparently, the reduction of congestion. In most cities, especially those metropolises, it is a commonplace that people squeeze in and out of a crowded bus or metro in rush hours. Let's imagine what amount of time can be saved when those people choose or are encouraged to work from home. The saved time can be devoted to precious work time, and thus, elevating efficiency. Furthermore, working at home eases the troublesome of some people working in the downtown while living in the suburb. It is also believed that a lot of people, whose representatives are working parents with childcare responsibility, may benefit from the changing work pattern. Moms, in particularly, may don't have to struggle to juggle their careers and their families any more.

But each new thing is always accompanied by potential dangers. The same is true for the trend of working from home. Though embodied with lots of advantages, it also brings about some negative impacts. For instance, the reduction of face-to-face communication may affect team spirits. There are much more distractions at home than in offices, especially for working women with babies. Besides, from the perspective of employers, it is hard for them to monitor the performance of workers at home.

Therefore it is advisable that people take everything into consideration, balancing merits and demerits. Sometimes the job nature has a say in which work pattern fits you. Many people make a combination of working from home and at office, which helps to solve the dilemma. In a nutshell, working from home has both advantages and disadvantages, and the key always lies in how to make the best use of it.

點(diǎn)評：本次作文延續(xù)了歷年的命題風(fēng)格，話題為“在家辦公”，可謂緊扣時(shí)代特征，為每位同學(xué)都提供了充分的話語權(quán)。而且對于學(xué)習(xí)過滬江網(wǎng)校BEC中級課程的同學(xué)來說，這個(gè)話題也應(yīng)該更為熟悉，因?yàn)閣orking from home就是其中一課，那么闡釋起觀點(diǎn)來也就更游刃有余了。不僅如此，如果還能正確運(yùn)用課文中涉及的好詞好句，無疑更是為作文錦上添花。

對于專八作文來說，總體結(jié)構(gòu)還是可以采用“總-分-總”的形式，首先通過事例指出這一現(xiàn)象，并表明對其的態(tài)度；接著從“在家辦公”的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)兩個(gè)方面進(jìn)行辯證論述。需要注意的是，考生在闡釋優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)時(shí)可以熟練使用一些連接詞，如firstly，furthermore，besides等，以使文章更有邏輯性，并且也可以適時(shí)地進(jìn)行例證，使觀點(diǎn)更具說服力。文末的點(diǎn)睛部分，可以再次概括觀點(diǎn)，不過要做到言簡意賅。
