TOEFL test Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more enjoyable to have a job where you work only three days a week for long hours than to have a job where you work five days a week for shorter hours. Just as books nourish our mind so do family members enlighten us. Is working only three days a week for long hours better? There are some reasons that I hold as my aspect. The first reason for my stand is that I cannot take care well of my family if I work for long hours a day. The reason is that I have two children and I have to take care of them by myself. If I have to work for long hours, I cannot pick up my children, cannot cook the dinner and cannot read the story before they sleep. Although, if I work for only three days I would have more time to company with them or have a trip with them. Nevertheless, I would have no time to do the things I mentioned above. Also, if I work for five days a week, I can have the same time from school time of my children. The second reason can be perceived by every individual is that working too long would decrease the effectiveness of working. Especially for me, I am easily feel bored when I repeat do something for a long time. I am a therapist. I find that if I treat a few patients a day. I can give them better treatment not only because feeling bored but also feeling tired. Thus, I believe that working shorter hours would be good for patient and me. Last but not the least, working for longer hours a day would let my family being estrangement. I would be tired for those three days and I would not speak to others only want to take a rest. I believe although I have other five free days, I have the same time to company with my family. Because they have to go to work or go to school. As we all know, there are two sides to every story. Therefore, undeniable, there are some merits of work for longer hours a day, such as avoiding the traffic jam, having longer weekend and so on. Nevertheless, from those reasons that I mentioned above, I take, still , side on the statement that working shorter hours but five days a week is better. Family time is most important thing to me.

Just as books nourish our mind so do family members enlighten us. Is working only three days a week for long hours better? There are some reasons that I hold as my aspect can cite. 

The first reason for my stand is that I cannot take care well of my family well if I work for long hours a day. The reason is that I have two children and I have to take care of them by myself. If I have to work for long hours, I cannot pick up my children, cannot cook the dinner and cannot read the them a story before they sleep.

Nevertheless, I would have no time to do the things I mentioned above. Also, if I work for five days a week, I can have the same time apart from school time of my children. 

The second reason, which can be perceived by every individual, is that working too long would decrease the effectiveness of working.

I can give them better treatment not only because I'm feeling bored but also feeling tired. Thus, I believe that working shorter hours would be good for my patients and me. 

Last but not the least, working for longer hours a day would let my family being estrangement estrange me from my family.

Nevertheless, from those reasons that I mentioned above, I take, still , side on still agree most with the statement that working shorter hours but five days a week in a five-day work week is better best. Family time is the most important thing to me.
