Hey Bex,
thanks for trusting me with this! There are several advantages and disadvantages to working from home.
First of all, you're saving tons of time because you don't have to commute to work anymore. If your new workplace is close by anyways, other arguments might be more pivotal in your decision-making.
Additionally, you would be home during week days as well, which has multiple advantages. You get to spend more time with your family and in case of an emergency at home, you're right there. Last week my daughter was sick, but since I work from home, my husband and I could both go to work without leaving her home alone.
There is a few disadvantages, though. You have to figure out for yourself if you prefer working alone or not. You won't be in an office with your colleagues but instead will only talk to them during meetings. If you are a social person, working from home might not be for you. At the beginning of my job I was struggling to be productive and get done as much work as I could in an office. I got used to that pretty quickly, but that's another thing you have to evaluate for yourself.
The things mentioned above are learnings from my own experience and doesn't necessarily apply to everyone, but I hope I could help you at least a little.
I hope to speak you soon again!
Best regards,
xxx
You receive an email from your friend, Bex:
Subject: Possible new job
I’ve applied for a great job where I’d work from home all the time. I’m worried about whether I have the right skills and qualities to be successful working this way.
I know you work from home, so can you tell me about your experience and how well you think I’d be suited to this way of working? Could you please send me your thoughts and advice?

If you say “go to work”, it implies leaving your house for work while the point is that you don’t have to leave and can be with your daughter at home while working.
There isare a few disadvantages, though.
“are” is use for plural, “is” is for singular

It is a bit formal for writing to a friend, but in general the English is written so well it seems like it is written by a native/fluent English speaker.
