- Ví dụ minh họa
1. What are the advantages of doing jobs which you can work from home?
The striking benefit may be the amount of freedom you have. You don’t have to worry about travelling to work on public transport which can be very stressful. Another plus point is that you don’t have to get changed into smart clothes or uncomfortable office shoes.
2. Are there any disadvantages to working from home?
The major drawback is that work-from-home jobs are not stable and secure as most other jobs. A lot of work-at-home jobs are part-time or offer a few hours’ work per day rather than standard jobs that pay a fixed amount every month.
