　　雅思题目

　　“Telecommuting” refers to workers doing their jobs from home for part of each week and communicating with their office using computer technology. Telecommuting is growing in many countries and is expected to be common for most office workers in the coming decades. What do you think are the effects caused by the growth of telecommuting?

　　Introduction-background:

　　Technology such as instant messaging(即时通讯) and video conferencing(视像会议) has given people the freedom to work from just about anywhere at any time.

　　A growing number of companies like The Surf Office aim to meet the needs of so-called digital nomads(数字游民) who use the freedom to combine work and lifestyle.

　　The trend for working remotely is already well established. In the UK, for example, more than four million Britons already work from home, according to the latest official statistics.

　　Pros:

　　l Working from home with technology including online conference and video-based calls, instant messaging services and corporate forums(论坛) means fewer distractions and no time wasted commuting(搭船，乘车) between locations.

　　l For employers, it means they can avoid costly overheads such as rent and electricity.

　　l New technology also creates opportunities to move permanently(长期不变地) to another country. Using a free messaging service such as WhatsApp allows international co-workers to stay in touch for free wherever they are in the world, which also saves the company a lot of money.

　　Cons:

　　There are disadvantages to not physically spending time with co-workers, though.

　　Not being in the office does mean missing out on ‘water-cooler moments’ or ad hoc chats that lead to new ideas. Using any form of technology limits this kind of interaction. So, even for those people who increasingly can choose when, where and how to work, they may find the occasional commute to the office a necessity.
