Gone is the traditional office and gone too are the traditional office hours. we are no longer tied to a desk from 9.00 am until 5.00 pm with a couple of coffee breaks and an hour for lunch. Technology has revolutionised our working lives in many different ways. One of the greatest changes that we can see happening today is related to where we do our work. The daily commute to and from the office will soon be a thing of the increased ability to communicate via the internet and send our work round the world in seconds. More and more people are taking advantage of this freedom and working from home. One significant effect of this trend is that people have to develop their self-discipline and time management skills. And perhaps the greates danger is that the workforce next.

Many pupils spend time after school participating in different clubs. They attend sport clubs, dance clubs, Art and Crafts studios and musical clubs. To my mind, participating in different clubs is very useful because you have a chance to develop your abilities in various ways. This is also an opportunity to make new friends. Most of my classmates, for example, enjoy going in for sport. Football, basketball and tennis are especially popular among the boys. Girls prefer going in for swimming and skating. No doubt that sport has become an important part of our life because the young generation chooses healthy way of living. Sport makes us more cheerful and beautiful. As for me, I go in for swimming. There is a wonderful swimming-pool not far from my house, so I don't have to spend much time to get there. First I came to the swimming pool five years ago. I didn't win the first place then, but my first experience inspired me. Swimming doesn't mean only competitions, medals and prizes for me. It helps me to keep fit and healthy. It also helps me relax after school. Unfortunately, children who live in small towns and villages have fewer opportunities for going in for sport. There are no skating rinks, tennis courts, swimming pools and other facilities in small towns. If I could start some sport clubs for children I would choose the development of sport all over the country.
