Telecommuting (working for a company from home rather than in the office and communicating with the office by computer) is becoming more and more common. Discuss the advantages of telecommuting versus working in an office. Then indicate which you prefer and why.


The technology is developing continuous and new ways of making work more effective, efficient and easier are created and introduced into the labour market.
One of them is telecommunting, working for a company from home and communicating with the office by computer, way of working which is becoming more and more common.

This is a very easy way of working, indeed. Just think about it for a second. You sit on your confortable chair or coach from home, you drink the juice or coffee that you like and you listen on your favourite radio channel while doing your work. This sounds great at first sight. Working from home can be incredibly confortable and pleasant.

But wait a second. Have you ever thought that you will always be alone at home, because your husband/wife is at work and your kids are at school? All your friends work as well and your parents have moved to the country because they like to live in quite, in the middle of the nature. You are alone all the time. Just you, the computer you are using for your work and the radio which makes your work sweeter. These might be in my oppinion some advantages and disadvantages of working from home.

Let’s move now to the other side, of working in a big company for example. You go to work every day, the first thing you do is to drink your tasty coffe with your colleagues. All of them smile, telling a nice think that happened to them on the last day. You tell them as well something interesting that you did last evening, a nice place you have visited. Then all of you start working.

You have a difficulty with something you must do. You go to a colleague of yours, asking him her for a little help. They have more experience than you, thus they can help you immediately with your problem. In few minutes, your difficulty does not exist any more. Now, think about being at home alone, you don’t have anybody to ask for help, you must do it by yourself and when you find a difficulty there is nobody there to give you a piece of advice or information.

These are some reasons I consider them to be very important when choosing between working from home or working for a big company and having your office.
I would surely choose working under a big company, becase I am a sociable person, I like to communicate with the people around me, I want to improve my knowledge by asking for help the persons who have a larger experience than me and working together with colleagues seems to me more challenging and interesting than working alone at home.

hi, can you please tell me how to increase my speed of typing.
jiji

I think it's better to practice typing as much as you can until the test, because typing fast it's an advantage for someone who wants to make the toefl exam. I made a course when I studied at the University, it was called Typing Tutor, we learnt how to speed very fast without looking at all at the keyboard, at the end of the course we were asked to type 40 words per minute with an accuracy of 99%. When somebody could not do this, he/she would not have passed the exam. I worked hard in order to pass this exam, 2 months, 2 hour per day at least, but I can sincerely admit that this was the best thing I have ever learnt, because it is of a great help for me now in all the things that I do. So, I suggest you to type as much as you can, chatt with friends, or just write everything you practice for toefl on the computer, not by hand. Or search on the internet a site that offers online typing lessons, they are a lot, but to be honest this require some time, I don't know how much time you have left until the exam, but if you have more than 2 months I think you can do it. Practice typing whenever you have the chance.
Good luck

Thanks a lot monik, wishes for your future.
