Questions 22–23 Read the excerpts from the lecture. Then choose the best notes. (1 point each) 23. “In recent years, there has been a change in working hours. For example, in Spain, it was a tradition for government workers to take a two or three hour break in the afternoon—a “siesta”—and then to work late in the evening. Now, government workers have an hour for lunch and go home earlier. The change is intended to align the Spanish work schedule with the rest of Europe’s and reduce the time that employees, especially working parents, spend away from home.”
