Hello!
How are you? Here I would like to show you a video to support your 6th writing assignment on working lives and lifestyles. It's about working from your home, and the advantages - and disadvantages - of it.
While as future chemical engineers it may be hard to imagine how it would be possible to work from home, it may be possible that things necessary for your work that do not involve direct laboratory research could be done away from a lab, such as research and Skype conference calling on computers.
Activity/research
Watch this video as many times as you want or need. It's in natural native-speaker English, which means that it will be a bit fast. You can turn on English subtitles if you watch it directly on YouTube, however, so this can help you. But there are captions on the screen for each part of what the speaker talks about - the pros (advantages) and cons (disadvantages) about working from home.

Questions
Instead of listing many questions here, I would like you to try and watch this video carefully - though please watch it more than once or twice - as I mentioned above, watch it as many times as you want or need.
Here are two basic questions:
1. What are the pros - the advantages - he says of working from home?
2. What are the cons - the disadvantages - he says of working from home?
Try to add a little more information from what he says are the positive and negative points of working from your home.
I hope this is interesting and informative for you.
See you next time!
