满分要素剖析：
一、语言表达
本文的语言简洁明了，不刻意用长难句，旨在客观清晰的表达作者的观点。列举列证时点到为止，恰到好处，避免冗长赘述。
1. Nowadays, telecommuting is increasingly popular in many parts of the world, by which Employees are able to take office at home.
本句运用从句，解释了telecommuting的含义。其中，which指代telecommuting。
2. Secondly, their working hours are more flexible than those who work in office.
本句用those指代those employees。意为：在家工作的人要比在办公室工作的人工作时间更加灵活。
3. It is mainly because if the staff members work at home, then they are able to adjust their own time schedule more flexibly, without too much stress proceeding from heavy workload allocated by their boss.
本句中运用两个分词短语，使表达更加紧凑连贯。其中，proceeding from heavy workload修饰的是stress, allocated by their boss修饰的是heavy workload。翻译成中文为:不会面对老板分配的繁重工作压力。
二、逻辑结构
本文是典型的总分总结构的议论文。开篇先陈述事实并表达观点，第二部分开始分别以三个论据从正面支持了作者的观点。最后一段话稍作让步，提出虽然在家工作也有一些需要改进的地方，但总体来说还是利大于弊的。
