Speaking task 2

This task was some kind of interview, I wrote more or less down what I answered. Could you correct it? Also I noticed that I use always the same words to give my opinion : I think.. In my opinion... I believe...
Any other suggestions?

- How do you think our working lifes will be different in the future?
I think that technology will play a big role in our working life. The different applications and gadgets will make our work easier, since they will help us to organize ourselfs better. I believe that our time management will also be improved with new technologies, because we will be ableto do more tasks in less time.

- What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of working from home?
The advantages are that you don’t have to commute, you can dress up however you wanr, you have more flexible working hours and to some extend you can take care of your children.
The disadvantages are that you may feel isolated because you don’t get any “fresh air”, you are not in a working environment so maybe you get easily distracted and you don’t socialize too much with workmates.

- Some people believe that people should continue working as long as they can, while other people believe that everyone should retire at 60 or 65. What is your view?
A difficult quesion. In my opinion, everyone should have worked a minimum of years. After accomplissing those years it should be your own decision. If you prefer working more, and you are still able to, because for you it is fulfilling or because you want to gain more money, then go ahead, but other peoplewould like to enjoy the last years of their life.

- Which do you think is more important in a job: friendly colleages or a good salary?
I think both approaches are very important. Nonetheless, If I had to choose I would choose frindly colleages over a good salary. Becaus a relaxed atmosphere at work is stress relieving, and I preffer and unstressed life over being rich. Although if the salary is too low it won’t make me happy either.

- How can young people get the experience they need to be given a good job?
In my opinion this is some kind of vicious cycle. If you don’t have a job, you won’t get experience. If you have no experience, you won’t get a job.Nowadays, good jobs are part of fairy tales. I believe that it is better to strike for a lower job vacancy, and try to climb up the ladder. Also you cant get experience by being a trainee, but most of the trainees, at least here in Spain, don’t get paid.

- What qualities would you look for in a perfect manager, and why?
A manager should be a role model to his employees. I think the qualities a manager should haveare obvious: responsibility, accurateness, punctuality, to be a good communicater and listener and have empathy.
