MODEL ANSWER:
| Many people believe working from home is better than going to an office. To what extent do you agree or disagree? |
- Saves time
- increases our productivity
- expensive equipment [EXCEPTION]
Many people prefer working from their house or apartment instead of an office. I somewhat agree that it is generally better to work from home because it saves time and increases productivity; however, the exception is in instances when expensive equipment is needed.
The main reason I support working from home is that it leads to saving time. In particular, it eliminates the need for a daily commute to an office, which saves most people many hours per week. For example, I am now working from home, and I save at least ten hours each week that would otherwise be spent traveling. I also save time on dressing and grooming myself for work as I can dress more casually when I work from home unlike when I go to an office and need to put on a suit and tie.
Furthermore, working from one’s residence can also lead to higher productivity. This is because it eliminates the distractions that come with working in an office environment, such as noise and colleagues interrupting. For instance, since I started working from home, I no longer get distracted by my co-workers chatting or stopping by my desk to ask me unnecessary questions and this enables me to not only get more done but also have higher quality outcomes on my projects.
However, jobs that require costly apparatus are better conducted from a company’s headquarters. This is because it will not be cost-efficient to do this kind of job from home. For example, the research my father conducts on microorganisms requires the use of a powerful microscope, and as this costs millions of dollars, it can only be performed at work. In conclusion, I somewhat believe that working from home is better. This is because it saves time travelling to and from an office and leads to higher levels of efficiency. However, in situations where high-cost equipment is needed, this cannot be done from home. Therefore, employers should try to offer their workers this option whenever possible.
