Exercise 1
Read the text and highlight in purple the six words or phrases connected with the advantages of remote working. As a telesales staff member, I enjoy quite a lot of autonomy in my job. What's more, I have a better collaboration with my team which allows us to keep the sense of community. I don’t have to commute to my office every day, which improves my punctuality. I personally think that improved focus on my tasks is the best part of working from home as I avoid the distractions of a busy office space.
