begun the four-day week for everyone but the executives.(para.4)?He had a lot of people working for him,maybe sixty,and most of them liked him most of the time.Three of them will be seriously

yourselves into groups of three to five and discuss the following issue:Career or Family:which is more important?44SamplevWhen asked about their opinion of career and family,people always respond differently.Some people deem it more important to pursue their career,while there are always other people who argue that family should be the number one in ones life.45vIt goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life.In the very first place,career can give us an aim to live on.Without career,much of our living time will be certainly wasted.Whats more,career can provide us with a means to live on.Most of the people earn their income from a job.On the other hand,family is also an indispensable part of life,as many people will admit.Family is always regarded as a place where we can escape from troubles in life.In addition,we can obtain a sense of belonging to from family.Without it,anyone will feel lonely and desperate.46vIn my opinion,career and family are not in opposition to each other.Rather,they can enhance each other so that ones life can become better and better.Therefore,its not a choice between right and wrong,but one between ideal and practical.472024/3/13 周三48</p>
