The workplace
The workplace is changing. Gone is the traditional office
and gone too are the traditional office hours. We are
no longer tied to a desk from 9.00 a.m. until 5.00 p.m.
with a couple of coffee breaks and an hour for lunch.
Technology has revolutionised our working lives in
many different ways.
One of the greatest changes that we can see happening
today is related to where we do our work. The daily
commute to and from the office will soon be a thing of
the past for many of us. Technology allows us to work
wherever we wish because of the increased ability to
communicate via the Internet and send our work round
the world in seconds. More and more people are taking
advantage of this freedom and working from home.
One significant effect of this trend is that people
are having to develop their self-discipline and time
management skills. And perhaps the greatest danger is
that the workforce will become increasingly isolated,
and some people will see no one from one day to the
other. From a practical point of view, however, the way
we organise our days is becoming more flexible and
companies can cut office expenditure. Only time will
tell whether the benefits of working from home make it
worthwhile or not.
8 Are the sentences true or false?

technology....
3 People talk to each other more these days....
4 We have to control our working time carefully....
5 Working from home can be lonely....
