Speaking 1 Topic: Outdoor work or indoor office?
Some people prefer work that allows them to move around outdoors. Others feel it is more pleasant to work in an office. Which do you prefer, and why?
In the 15 seconds I have for note taking, here’s what I would jot down:
- Outdoors
- Reason 1 - Fresh air
- Reason 2 - Physical activity
- Trek leader example
Here's my actual response:
Given a choice, I would certainly prefer to work outdoors. First, I do not like being confined to air-conditioned spaces for long periods of time. Instead, I love the fresh air and sunny atmosphere that an outdoor working environment provides. Further, when I spend time working outdoors, there is a lot of physical activity involved. This would help me stay fit and healthy, as opposed to being in a desk job. A friend of mine works with a hiking company. After having spent more than three years in an administrative role, she took up an opportunity to lead a trek for a period of ten days. She mentioned that it was a life-altering experience. She never went back to the desk job again.
