Asynchronous - Grammar - Task 1 - Word Classes

The document is about remote work experiences during the pandemic. It discusses how one man's experience working remotely from his home on Bruny Island off the coast of Tasmania differs from others based on factors like the size and location of one's living/work space as well as who they share it with. It suggests these types of factors help explain differences in perceptions of remote work as a desirable option based on things like age, gender, and socioeconomic status, and could shape what a hybrid work model of the future may look like.

ASYNCHRONOUS: 40 MINUTES

GRAMMAR ACTIVITIES
TASK 1: WORD CLASSES
Read the following text and complete the task given.

When Chris Scott wakes up at his new home on Bruny Island, just off the
south-eastern coast of Tasmania, he typically walks five minutes to the
ocean for an hour-long surf session. The 38-year-old then heads back up
to the garage he’s converted into a home office for a full day of work as a
senior project manager at Origin Energy. In between video calls with his
20-person team, he strolls the 50-acre property to clear his head.
Sometimes, he might even end the workday diving with his wife for a
dinner of abalone.

The size and location of your space – as well as whom you share it with –
play a significant role in determining how well you’ve been able to work
from home during the pandemic. This helps explain why perceptions of
the remote-work experience as a desirable option now vary widely along
age, gender and socioeconomic lines. And this could help shape our new
hybrid-work future.
