WRITING TASK 2

AGREE OR DISAGREE
1. Totally agree.
People tend to work longer hours nowadays. Working long hours has a
negative effect on themselves, their families and the society so working hours
should be restricted. Do you agree or disagree?
Working longer hours is getting more common in today’s society. I personally
believe that this trend not only has a severe impact on workers themselves, but
also on their families and the community as a whole. Therefore, I totally agree
with idea of limiting working hours.
A few decades ago, people normally worked an average of eight hours per day.
Average daily working hours in recent years, however, have increased to ten or
fourteen hours. This, in my opinion, adversely affects employee’s health and
productivity. For example, people spend longer time at work are more likely to
suffer from various health problems including fatigue, anxiety disorder, or even
stroke. Failing health could lead more sick leave, poor work performance, and
low productivity. My dad is a case in point. Working nearly twelve hours per
week, he frequently feels exhausted and make more errors at work than he used
to.
