TRS601 - CRITICAL READING QUESTION
Read the following excerpt, then write a paragraph to answer the question. Write at least 120 words.
'If you visit a typical modern office, you might see many people wearing headphones,listening to different songs, yet you won't hear any of them. Up to half of young workers listen to music with their headphones, and most of them believe it helps them do their jobs better. Surveys consistently show that people feel music makes them happier,improves their concentration, and increases their productivity.
However, scientists disagree with this belief. They argue that listening to music can distract people from remembering other important tasks. Whether the music is loud or soft, it reduces overall performance for both outgoing and shy individuals. A study in Taiwan found that music with lyrics lowered concentration levels in college students, and other research showed that music with words can interfere with our brain's ability to process verbal information. One report concluded that since silence leads to the best performance, working in a quiet environment is advisable.'
Considering the arguments for and against using headphones at work, what are some alternative ways to create a productive and personal workspace?
