Band 7 Example
Question: How many breaks do you think office workers should have?
Idea 1
Standard Rest Mode
Model Answer
Office workers should definitely have a few breaks. I think two short breaks along with a lunch break in a day is ideal. The lunch break could be around 30 minutes to an hour. This gives everyone enough time to relax and recharge for the rest of the day.
Idea 2
Flexible Rest Schedule
Model Answer
I believe office workers should have breaks that adapt to their work rhythm. A good rule could be a 5 to 10-minute break every 2 hours. But it's important these breaks can be adjusted based on what they're doing and their personal needs. One size doesn't fit all in terms of breaks.
Idea 3
Efficient Work-Rest Cycle
Model Answer
For office workers, the Pomodoro Technique could be really effective. It suggests a 5-minute break after every 25 minutes of work. This keeps energy and focus high. Also, during breaks, simple stress-relief exercises like guided relaxation could help in rejuvenating them quickly.
