Do you like working in the office?

1:19

I do like working in the office.

1:22

I think it's easy to get work done in the office

1:27

because it's an office environment.

1:29

It's a workplace.

1:32

But I also quite like working from home sometimes

1:36

because, commuting – London is a big city.

1:39

You know, coming to work and going back

1:42

is really tiring if you do it every day.

1:44

Yeah, I know what you mean.

1:47

I... I like working from home occasionally,

1:51

but I definitely prefer being in the office.

1:55

I think being with colleagues around you and I need people,

2:00

and then I can work better.

2:01

Yeah. So, what's wrong with working from home?

2:05

A lot!

2:08

I think, when you're in the office,

2:11

yeah, it's louder than at home,

2:14

but I like having the people around me.

2:16

I like being able to have conversations.

2:19

I find it's easier to work in an office environment

2:23

because everyone else is working.

2:26

But I feel more lonely at home because it's just me.

2:30

So, yeah.

2:33

Yeah, I understand what you mean.

2:36

I also have a bit of a problem with working from home,

2:39

because the boundary or the line between work and home is not so clear.
