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?

Contemporary electronic devices
such
as computers and telephones are providing much convenience for a mass of people nowadays, which enables them to finish their work easily at
home
.
However
, there are both pros and cons

doing jobs domestically. In
this
essay, I will discuss both advantages and disadvantages of working at
home
, and I am convinced that there are certain drawbacks that working at
home
certainly could not overcome.
First
of all, it is obviously clear that working at
home
could substantially save

time
by eliminating the

used for commuting. A good illustration of
this
could be the daily routines of

areas. A large sum of
time
could be saved if the boss agrees that

can work at
home
. In general, it is saving
time
that makes working at
home
so appealing and advantageous.
However
, certain drawbacks should be seriously considered as well.
Firstly
, if the job should be done
at

a specialised area with necessary machines or raw materials,
then
no way can the
workers
do their jobs at their homes with almost nothing.
For example
, if you are a worker at an automobile factory,
then
it is impossible to manufacture a car on your own.
Besides
, due to safety reasons, certain regulations should be observed and
workers
need to be surveilled sometimes, which is hard to conduct at
home
.
For instance
, if you are a worker in the chemical engineering industry, the chemicals you utilise might be so toxic and dangerous that slightly more contact would put your health in jeopardy, not to mention that there are so many foods and drinks that are readily contaminated at
home
. To sum up, lack of specialised devices and safety reasons could be two main disadvantages of working at
home
. To conclude, after taking everything into consideration, the drawbacks of working at
home
are more significant at present as far as I am concerned. But I suppose society would find its path to elevate the general working efficiency in the future, so we would not be bothered to worry about working at
home
or not
then

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.
