    Monologue – 2.

    5 Minutes

    Workers are more productive if they spend only 5 hours per day at work. (Alfonso)

    People who work from home are less productive than those who are in an office. (Fernando)

    Most people are against changing to a 4-day work week. (María)

    Women are put off from learning jobs which are traditionally male dominated.

    Dialogue:

    Do you think workers in your country are underpaid for their work? Why (not)?

    In what ways do you think people would be happier working from home instead of going to an
    office? Why?

    Are there any significant problems to achieving a work-life balance for people with children in
    your country?

    Do you feel there is too much stress in the workplace nowadays? Why (not)?

    Have you ever been under pressure at your work to put in extra hours even though you weren’t
    going to be paid extra?

    In your opinion, would workers be more productive and happier if they had a shorter working
    week?
