Read this short article about remote work, then answer the questions.
Vse več podjetij omogoča delo od doma. Zaposleni cenijo prilagodljivost in prihranek časa, saj se jim ni treba voziti v službo. Po drugi strani nekateri pogrešajo stik s sodelavci in težje ločijo delo od prostega časa. Strokovnjaki menijo, da je najboljša rešitev kombinacija — nekaj dni doma, nekaj dni v pisarni. Tako ostane povezanost, hkrati pa se ohrani svoboda.

More and more companies allow working from home. Employees value the flexibility and the time saved, since they don't have to commute. On the other hand, some miss contact with colleagues and find it harder to separate work from free time. Experts believe the best solution is a combination — some days at home, some in the office. That way connection remains, while freedom is preserved.

Po mojem mnenju je življenje na podeželju boljše. Po eni strani sta tam mir in čist zrak, kar je dobro za zdravje. Po drugi strani se ljudje med seboj poznajo in si pomagajo. Res je, da mesto ponuja več služb in zabave, vendar je tudi hrupno in drago. Sam imam raje naravo in mir, zato bi izbral življenje na vasi. Kljub temu razumem, da ima vsak svoje želje.In my opinion, life in the countryside is better. On the one hand, there is peace and clean air there, which is good for health. On the other hand, people know each other and help one another. It's true that the city offers more jobs and entertainment, but it's also noisy and expensive. I myself prefer nature and quiet, so I'd choose village life. Still, I understand that everyone has their own wishes.

Speaking

· Govorjenje
1. Give your opinion: does technology make life easier or more complicated? Give reasons.
show a model answer
Po mojem mnenju tehnologija življenje olajša, a ga hkrati zaplete. Po eni strani lahko hitro komuniciramo in najdemo informacije. Po drugi strani preveč časa preživimo pred zasloni in se težko sprostimo. Mislim, da je ključ v ravnovesju.In my opinion technology makes life easier but also complicates it. On the one hand we can communicate quickly and find information. On the other hand we spend too much time in front of screens and find it hard to relax. I think the key is balance.
2. Compare studying alone with studying in a group — advantages and disadvantages.
show a model answer
Učenje v skupini ima prednosti: drug drugemu pomagamo in se motiviramo. Slabost je, da je včasih preveč hrupa in se težko zberem. Sam se raje učim sam, a pred izpitom je skupina koristna.Studying in a group has advantages: we help and motivate each other. The drawback is that sometimes there's too much noise and it's hard to concentrate. I prefer studying alone, but before an exam a group is useful.
3. Role-play: a friend wants to move abroad for work. Advise them, weighing the pros and cons.
show a model answer
Razumem, da te mika delo v tujini. Po eni strani je to odlična priložnost in nove izkušnje. Po drugi strani boš pogrešal družino in jezik je lahko ovira. Predlagam, da najprej poskusiš za krajši čas.I understand that working abroad tempts you. On the one hand it's a great opportunity and new experience. On the other hand you'll miss your family and the language can be an obstacle. I suggest you first try it for a shorter time.
