LESSON 3: WORK 1

2. READING COMPREHENSION
Ronan
I work in a fairly traditional office environment doing a typical nine-to-five job. I

like my job, but it's annoying that my commute to work takes an hour and a half
each way and most of my work could really be done online from home. But my
boss doesn't seem to trust that we will get any work done if left to our own devices,
and everyone in the company has to clock in and out every day. It's frustrating that
they feel the need to monitor what we do so closely instead of judging us based on
our task performance, like most companies do these days.
Jo
I used to do a typical five-day week, but after I came out of my maternity leave, I
decided that I wanted to spend more time with my children before they start
school. After negotiating with my boss, we decided to cut my working week down
to a three-day work week. This of course meant a significant cut in my pay too, as
I'm paid on a pro-rata basis. I've since noticed, though, that my workload hasn't
decreased in the slightest! I'm now doing five days' worth of work in three days,
but getting paid much less for it! I find myself having to take work home just so
that I can meet the deadlines. It's wearing me out trying to juggle work with
looking after my children and my family, but I don’t dare to bring this up with my
boss because I think he feels as if he's made a huge concession letting me come in
only three days a week.
Marcus
I work for a global IT company, but because their headquarters is in the States, I do
all my work online from home. That means that I don't waste time commuting or
making idle chit-chat with colleagues. I work on a project basis, and this flexibility
is very valuable to me because it means that I can easily take some time off when
my children need me to go to their school performances or if I need to schedule an
appointment with the dentist. The downside is that without clear office hours, I
tend to work well into the evening, sometimes skipping dinner to finish a task. It
can also get quite lonely working on my own, and I sometimes miss sharing ideas
with colleagues.
Lily
I'm a freelancer and I work for myself. This is great because I am in control of
what I do and how I spend my time. At first, I was working from home, but I found
it really hard to concentrate. There were just too many distractions around:
housework that needed doing, another cup of tea, my family members wanting my
attention for various things. So I started to go to a nearby café to work, but the Wi-
Fi connection wasn't ideal and I found myself drinking too much coffee. In the end,
I decided to rent a desk in a co-working space with five other freelancers like
myself. I liked getting dressed to go to work in the morning and being able to focus
in an office environment. The other freelancers do similar kinds of web-based
work to me and so it's nice to have workmates to bounce ideas off as well.
1. Ronan's boss thinks his employees will not be as productive if they work from
home.
True False
2. Ronan thinks that the performance of employees should be judged according to

how much time they spend in the office.
True False
3. Jo is paid the same for a five-day work week as she is on a three-day work week.
True False
4. Jo feels exhausted trying to manage both a five-day workload and childcare.
True False
5. Although Marcus sees the benefit in not having idle chit-chat, he misses
interacting with his colleagues.
True False
6. Lily didn't like working from the café because the coffee wasn't very good.
True False
3. BASIC QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR JOBS.
1. What do you do?
2. How long have you been working this job?
3. What do you find enjoyable working your job?
4. Does your job sometimes stress you out?

5. Would you like to change your company?
HOMEWORK
1. Read this article and compare with yourself.
Ignore 'Happiest Jobs' Lists: A Harvard Professor Explains the 2 Factors

That Really Make for a Happy Job | Inc.com
2. “ Describe an ideal company you would love to work in the future “

LESSON 4: WORK 2
1. REVIEW
2. PRESENTATION AND QUESTIONS
3. QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
1. What should people consider when choosing a job?
2. What are some dangerous jobs?
3. What jobs are well-paid and badly paid in your country? Why?

4. What are the best ways to achieve work life balance?
5. Even though the number of graduates is increasing, why is the quality of

workers still low? 15 times lower than Singaporeans’
6. What should we do to boost workforce productivity?

HOMEWORK

Some people think that work is the most important thing in people’s life.
Without the success of a career, life becomes meaningless. To what extent do
you agree or disagree?
