These days, many people have their own computer and telephone, so it is quite easy for them to do their job at home. Does working at home have more advantages or more disadvantages?

Nowadays, a number of us are possessed

This

of doing so, and provide a logical conclusion. Even though it is acknowledged that there are several strong points about doing

, the essay will argue that the drawbacks of working at
home
outweigh its strengths. The two main disadvantages of working at
home
are ineffective
communication
and the relationships among
people
becoming distant.
First
of all,
people
have to use the internet to communicate with each other as they are confined to different places. Without face-to-face
communication
, the information related to the
work
can not be delivered properly or timely sometimes, which may influence the process of
work
.
Besides
, the instability of the networks and devices often interrupt

inefficient.
For instance
, when the workers have a meeting on some application, it is believed that the majority of us had encountered the situation of hearing no voice or video stuttering.
Furthermore
, working at

are

On the other hand

flexible working
time
and saving commuting
time
. Having no need to go to
work
at a fixed
time
and with no supervision from the superior workers, the working
time
is adjustable for employees so they are able to do the
work
whenever they want.
For example
, many procrastinators are very likely to finish their
work
just before the deadline. What’s more, working at
home
can save the staff lots of commuting
time
. If a worker

to his/her company,
then
it will save him/her two hours a day to

home
, and he/she can use the extra
time
to do something to relax or have fun.
However
, these
advantages
are not so important when thinking of the drawbacks of working at
home
. To conclude, though working at
home
has some
advantages
like working flexibly and saving commuting
time
, it has obvious negative influences on the
communication
efficiency and employees’ relationships. So I believe the drawbacks outweigh the
advantages
.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
