chair, and a file cabinet in it. I like my one-
Person office. It's quiet here. In an Open-
plan office there's always a lot of noise. You
can hear evewthing when your Colleagues
are on the phone. And it's often hectic
because people walk about. And you can
often waste 'a lot of time because colleagues
want to chat. In my own office, I can keep
the window open all clay if I want. I have
more iteedom in a one—person office.

"I work in an open-plan office, and I really
like it. There are ten colleagues in my office
and it's so easy to communicate. I can see
very quickly if someone is not in the office.
I don't want to be alone in a small room,
where there are only four walls to look
at, and there's no one to talk to. I like to
have my colleagues around me, and it's no
problem for me if it's a bit noisy and hectic.
An open-plan office is also much cheaper
for the company because each person only
needs a small place.
