It also makes people uncomfortable One 2014 study by German academics showed that delays on phone or conferencing systems shape our views of people negatively: even delays of 1.2 seconds made people perceive the responder as less friendly or focused An added factor, says Marissa Shuffler, an associate professor at Clemson University, is that if we are physically on camera, we are usually very aware of being watched "When you're on a video conference, you know everybody's looking at you; it's like you are on the centre of the stage, so there comes the social pressure and feeling like you need to perform, which is undoubtedly nerveracking and more stressful." It's also very hard for people not to look at their own face if they can see it on screen, or not to be conscious of how they behave in front of the camera So what can be done? Both experts suggest limiting video calls to those that are necessary Turning on the camera should be optional and in general there needs to be more understanding among managers that cameras not always have to be on throughout each meeting In many cases it's worth considering if video chats are really the most efficient option Shuffler suggests shared files (ideally with clear notes) can be an alternative, and also suggests taking time during meetings to catch up before discussing business "Spend some time to actually check into people's wellbeing," she urges "It's a way to reconnect us with the world, and to maintain trust and reduce fatigue and concern."

A People are much more confident when they see their faces on the screen B Sharing files with notes may be better than video calls in many cases C Video calling in the workplace is, in reality, completely unnecessary D When on camera, we generally not realise that people are watching us Question 43 Which best serves as the title for the passage? A Video Chats Should be Eliminated in Remote Work B Processing What's Happening in a Video Chat Is Not Easy C Why Video Meetings Are Usually So Mentally Exhausting D The Invisible Mental Pressure of Silence in Video Meetings Question 44 According to paragraph 3, delay or silence in phone or video calls can A produce a unique rhythm different from that of real-life conversations B shape our views of people negatively Trang - Mã đề thi 101 C lead people to believe that they not know how to use technology D make people so discomfort that they become unwilling to speak aloud Question 45 The word "irrational" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to A unfounded B unbalanced C undetermined D unsettled Question 46 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
