(资料图片仅供参考)
These days it is often possible for workers from some industries to do their job from home. Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages for society and the individual?
题型：report/non opinion essay
解题思路：可以清楚的看到 考官用了四段式回答这类型的大作文，即除了开头与结尾，各用一个主体段来回应题目中的两个问题。
通篇只有276个字，可见考官并不需要大家把文章写得太长， 逐项满足评分标准才是关键。
另外题目中的 利与弊都用了复数的形式来提问，所以在 回答该题时 一定要给出至少2个好处及坏处才可以。
雅思考官的满分范文如下：
It has become quite popular to work from home these days. While there are a couple of drawbacks to this innovation, the benefits outweigh them by far, for both the employee and the community.
Individuals who work from home are keen to improve their work-life balance. Tasks can be completed at night, when the office is closed, allowing involvement in daytime activities such as attending a school concert, or volunteering to assist in the school canteen. In addition to the joy this brings their children, parents who are actively involved at school can offer enthusiasm and encouragement to the staff and other parents, benefitting the community immeasurably. Others who work from home may be looking after someone disabled or elderly, and find that the convenience of fitting work around carer duties allows for a smoother transition between daily tasks.
Of course, there may be disadvantages to working from home. For example, some people may feel depressed and out-of-touch with colleagues, and perhaps believe that their career aspirations are on hold. These disadvantages, however, need not be so detrimental today, when advanced communication technology allows people to easily connect with others via screen conferencing. In addition to aiding socialization, scheduled webinars for this working community could promote their involvement in career-enhancing activities.
In conclusion, the advantages of working from home are significant and include a successful balance of employment with a convenient involvement in family activities, benefitting both individuals and the community. Negative factors, such as the possibility of social isolation and career stagnation, need not be an issue today as they can be negated by careful planning and the use of technology.
提起居家办公的英文，很多烤鸭第一反应就是"work at home"，但其实这个说法并不准确哦，一起跟主页君来学习下吧~
01 work from home
事实上，地道的表达方式应该是"work from home"。尽管环境发生改变，但是我们仍然在工作，只不过是在家完成而已。
Work from home is what you do when you work in an office but stay home because you need a change of scenery. Or perhaps you don"t have any face-to-face meetings tomorrow, so you decide to avoid the office for the day.
Work from home是指你平常在办公室工作，可能有某些原因，比如你需要换个环境，或者你明天没有任何面对面的会议，所以你决定在家办公。
例句：
With development of technology, working from home becomes a reality.
随着技术发展，在家办公成为可能。
Due to novel coronavirus, let’s work from home.
鉴于新型冠状病毒的原因，让我们在家办公吧。
02 remote working
虽然居家办公也是在远程完成工作，但如果疫情好转后，大家依然需要回到办公场所。
而远程办公与居家办公的概念稍有不同，比如有的员工不在公司总部，而是在外地分公司或办事处工作，这时就可以用它的专有名词，即"remote working"来表达。
例句：
Wasn"t there a risk in introducing remote working?
引入远程工作制度就没有风险吗？
03 work at home
我们再看看一开始提到的"work at home"，它的准确含义应该是在家办公，但多数指的是自由职业者，也就是说你的原本工作场所就是在家里，从未发生过改变。
例句：
As a work at home mom, I can adjust my hours to accommodate most of my child"s needs.
作为一名在家工作的妈妈，我可以调整自己的时间，来满足孩子的大多数需求。
看完大家会发现，尽管只是小小的介词发生了改变，但是表达的意义是有所不同的。
其实无论是自由职业者，还是由于疫情关系暂时居家办公，这种模式已经被大家所接受。而且随着互联网技术的发展，未来说不定会有更多人选择远程在线办公。
