ASYNCHRONOUS: 40 MINUTES

GRAMMAR ACTIVITIES
TASK 1: WORD CLASSES
Read the following text and complete the task given.

When Chris Scott wakes up at his new home on Bruny Island, just off the
south-eastern coast of Tasmania, he typically walks five minutes to the
ocean for an hour-long surf session. The 38-year-old then heads back up
to the garage he’s converted into a home office for a full day of work as a
senior project manager at Origin Energy. In between video calls with his
20-person team, he strolls the 50-acre property to clear his head.
Sometimes, he might even end the workday diving with his wife for a
dinner of abalone.

The size and location of your space – as well as whom you share it with –
play a significant role in determining how well you’ve been able to work
from home during the pandemic. This helps explain why perceptions of
the remote-work experience as a desirable option now vary widely along
age, gender and socioeconomic lines. And this could help shape our new
hybrid-work future.
