Date: Monday, April 14
Subject: Urgent: Issue with Conference Room B AV Equipment

Hi Facilities Team,

I’m writing to report a problem with the audio-visual equipment in Conference Room B. During our client presentation this morning (April 14, 10:00–11:30 A.M.), the projector was malfunctioning — it kept losing the connection to the laptop, and the screen went black several times during the presentation. This was extremely disruptive in front of our client.

This appears to be an ongoing issue. I believe the same problem was reported by the sales team last Thursday (April 10), but it doesn’t appear to have been resolved.

We have another client meeting scheduled in Conference Room B on Wednesday, April 16, at 2:00 P.M. This meeting is critically important, so I would appreciate it if the equipment could be inspected and repaired before then. If the issue cannot be fixed in time, please let me know so that I can book a different room.

I’ve copied Amir Patel, our Head of Client Relations, on this email as he is coordinating the Wednesday meeting.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Best regards,
Natalie Bergstrom

WORKPLACE TRENDS

Remote Work Policies Under Review as Companies Seek Balance

Two years after the widespread adoption of remote and hybrid work arrangements, a growing number of companies are revisiting their workplace policies. While many firms embraced flexible working during the pandemic, some are now signaling a shift back toward more in-person collaboration.

A recent survey of over five hundred business leaders found that sixty-two percent believe that in-person work leads to better collaboration and creativity. However, the same survey showed that seventy-eight percent of employees prefer flexible arrangements, and nearly half said they would consider changing jobs if required to return to the office full-time.

“Companies are caught between what management wants and what employees expect,” says Dr. Lisa Chen, a workplace behavior expert at Moreton University. “The organizations finding the most success are those that are genuinely listening to their employees and building flexible frameworks based on trust rather than rigid mandates.”

Several large corporations have recently adopted a hybrid model requiring employees to be on-site between two and three days per week. This model has gained traction as a middle ground, though implementation varies significantly across industries and roles.

Experts predict that the debate over workplace flexibility will continue well into the next decade, with technology playing an increasing role in enabling productive remote collaboration.

問題16： What is the main topic of this article?
– (A) The benefits of fully remote work for productivity
– (B) Companies reconsidering their flexible work policies
– (C) Technology tools for remote collaboration
– (D) Legal requirements for workplace safety

正解：(B)　解説： “companies are revisiting their workplace policies”（企業が職場方針を見直している）

問題17： According to the survey, what percentage of business leaders favor in-person work?
– (A) 46%
– (B) 62%
– (C) 78%
– (D) 88%

正解：(B)　解説： “sixty-two percent believe that in-person work leads to better collaboration”

問題18： What does Dr. Lisa Chen suggest companies do?
– (A) Require all employees to return to the office immediately
– (B) Allow employees to choose whether to work remotely or on-site
– (C) Create flexible policies based on listening to employees
– (D) Reduce workplace expectations to improve morale

正解：(C)　解説： “genuinely listening to their employees and building flexible frameworks”

問題19： What hybrid model have some large companies recently adopted?
– (A) Working from home on Mondays and Fridays only
– (B) Being on-site two to three days per week
– (C) Working fully remotely for the first year
– (D) Alternating between remote and on-site work each month

正解：(B)　解説： “requiring employees to be on-site between two and three days per week”

問題20： What does the article suggest about the future of remote work debates?
– (A) They will be resolved within the next two years.
– (B) Technology will eliminate the need for in-person collaboration.
– (C) They will persist for many years to come.
– (D) Most companies will adopt fully remote models.

正解：(C)　解説： “the debate…will continue well into the next decade”（この議論は今後10年以上続く）
