Question

Some people think remote work improves work-life balance, while others believe it blurs personal and professional boundaries. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Model Answer

Remote work can help people save commuting time and spend more time with family. For many employees, this creates a better routine and lower stress. However, working from home may also make people check messages late at night. In my opinion, remote work is positive if workers set and follow a fixed schedule.
