In some countries, the widespread use of the internet has given people more freedom to work or study at home or traveling to work or college. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
After the pandemic in 2020, there is a debated topic about the positive and negative aspects of working or studying on-site or remotely. I personally believe that the benefits of having a flexible workplace are more than the drawbacks. I will elaborate on my opinions.
On the one hand, remote
work
has some benefits for a variety of people
like those who have disabilities. If a worker cannot go to the office
, it is better for them to do their work
from home. Encouraging the different types of work
, such
as on-site and off-site, could really decrease or even eliminate inequality in job opportunities for disabled people
and other workers.The annual bulletin of the National Bureau of Statistics revealed that the disparities between normal people
and the disabled in finding jobs decreased dramatically from 66% in 2019, the year before the pandemic, to 44% in 2022. Moreover
, some people
, regardless of job and income level, prefer working outside the office
. They tend to work
in unofficial situations and be convenient when they work
. For instance
, language developers in computer companies would like to drink their coffee and do responsibilities in Starbucks, far away from any official work
routine in the office
. In addition
, some talented students prefer studying at home instead
of going to school every day and wasting their priceless time. Thus
different groups take advantage of working in their desired conditions.
However
, different work
types have some possible disadvantages like destroying organization rules and collaboration between colleagues. In the past decade, workers should adhere to the organization's rules, instructions and laws. They had to go to work
at a certain time and had limited break time in a day. In addition
, they were not allowed to leave the office
unless they got permission from their superior. What’s more, flexible working conditions are seriously detrimental to collaboration and teamwork in organizations. In the new era of working, there is no collaboration and helping among colleagues and they should work
solely at home or any place. As a result
, this
situation could lower the quality of work
and increase the maintenance of the organization.
In conclusion, due to
the increase in equal working opportunities for different people
and preparing convenient places to work
, depending on their comfort, I think that the advantages of working or studying in different situations outweigh the disadvantages.Submitted by hesam.kord.f on

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.
