irene2023

我已经被issue #131困扰很久，想了很久还是不知如何下笔，也没这题的提纲，不知能否讨论一下，大家集思广益呢？
            谢谢！
            #131：We can learn more about a society by observing how its people spend their leisure time than by observing them at work.

啊， 不会吧。

是不是题号不同。 我怎么觉得有印象呢？

irene2023

真的吗？

我怕问了笨问题，所以之前有一题一题检查，还是没看到

难道有不同版本？还是….鬼遮眼？

我也没找到。好像好几个最近JJ或黄金80贴里提到的题号都没的。224里面的是另一篇

30. “Companies benefit when they discourage employees from working extra hours or taking work home. When employees spend their leisure time without ‘producing’ something for the job, they will be more focused and effective when they return to work.”

errr，刚刚仔细看了一下，发现AWA simulator的130其实按黄金的编号应该是131。

黄金上的130在simulator是129，是exellent讲到的黄金80范文缺了的8个中的一个。

#130：We can learn more about a society by observing how its people spend their leisure time than by observing them at work.

Yes and No.

Yes: 1) People after work truely reflects who they are rather than who they have to be. Hence, the afterwork life shows more about a society. They dress what they like rather than following dressing codes. They do what they want to do rather than what they are required to do. They do culturely related activities rather than profit oriented business.

2) Working life is more stringint than casual life. There are a lot of limitations and changes according to business environment rather than national culture.

N  rofessional life is interact with afterwork life. It's difficult to see an English don't drink afternoon tea even when they are working. It's their culture. Similarly, you rarely see Germans late. It's their culture and it's their life.

adding one more :

1. How people spend their leisure time can help us understand the social priorities and culture values.
2. People tend not to disguise their feelings when they are surrounded by familiar faces and thus, much more likely to reveal the true nature of themselves.
3. work offers insights to proper conducts and expectations from unfamiliar social environment. Yet due to intrinsic nature of businesses, these behaviors are often masked with superficialities.
