Around the world, many adults are working from home, and more children are beginning to study from home because technology has become cheaper and more accessible. Do you think this is a positive or negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

We seem to live in a new normal world in which working and studying from home nowadays are likely to be the inevitable trends as the advance of technology and high-tech devices are more and more affordable for everyone.

However

,

this

has some benefits and drawbacks needed to be concerned

such

as the issues relating to the social connection, the productivity of work or study.

Finally

this

also

consists of some drawbacks appealing us to deal with.

Therefore

, it is apparently up to us to decide how to take the advantages of

this

development.
