SAMPLE COMPOSITION

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages you find in homeworking. 

When considering the option of working at home I can find both advantages and disadvantages. Not having to commute to your workplace each morning is a definite advantage because on the one hand, you can save money on transport.  On the other hand, the stress of the rush hour can be avoided. Moreover, being able to eat at home,   is both cheaper and healthier.

However, I would say there are more drawbacks than advantages.  I can find different reasons to support this. Firstly, because having to organize your own time means  having two essential qualities that not everybody has: self-discipline and good organization.  Secondly,   working at home could also mean more distractions and taking more breaks than necessary. Finally, although the new technologies makes social contact easily, working  at home  means working alone, which could be considered as an important drawback.

In conclusion,  I think that I would prefer the stress of the rush hour with the allicient of having the support and companionship of colleagues.
