Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the
location of the computer is of no consequence If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when
the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers
A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters But
although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when
Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago Why hasn’t
telecommuting become more popular ?
Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of
many managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed,
thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to
accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office

II TOPIC: Write to describe your all-time favorite movie.
In life, although I have several hobbies, watching movies is the one I am more interested in I have watched countless films so far, but BẾN KHÔNG CHỒNG, a product of VFC (Vietnam Film Corporation) in
2001, is the one that has created the biggest impression on me ever since.
Trang 5The film is set in the time of our war against the American troops in the South to unify the country and the construction to build a communist country in the North The ground of the story is in a tranquil poor farming village in the North The main characters are Mr Van, a veteran, a secretary of the village’s Communist Youth Union named Hanh, the two widows and the villagers The story happens right inside the village to the bank of a no-name-river having a namely Khong Chong river five-step-wharf
After serving in the army Van came back to his village in which there were only old villagers together with almost widows, girls and very few disabled men When Van returned, he was appointed head of the village armed group which consisted of around six armed girls including Hanh – Van’s former sweetheart’s daughter Van lived under the same roof with a land-lord widow and her 16 year-old son Van was then admired by all the villagers, so he tried his best to meet the residents’ expectations Though sometimes the mid-forties man felt lonely, he tried not to do wrong thing especially on sex Time passed, peace was then established with the unification declaration, the village was still under the misery of the war unhappiness Hanh married to an Army captain, but had no child for long Debates and conflicts occurred, which made Hanh left her husband So disappointed, and hopeless, she entered Van’s hut by a showery night The two thirsty unhappy persons met, and then Hanh was pregnant Unable to live with the villagers’ prejudice, Van and Hanh left the homeland, and finally Van killed himself by the river wharf Ben Khong Chong.
The scenes in the movie are colorful and interesting, typical for a North Vietnam’s rural village The story is touching and rather mournful The acting of the main characters is excellent as they are all famous actors and actresses The film leaves us valuable lessons in life, and helps us know more about the rural life courtesy I must say that it is one of the best movies I have ever watched in my life.
