题目内容
19．As anyone who freelances（做自由职业）knows，there are lots of advantages of working at home alone．But there are drawbacks too，like the potential loneliness．No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular：they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment，while making them get some work done too．But renting a co-working space does cost money．Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people's under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces，available to freelancers for free．Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together．It was a great success，and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe，North and South America，Australia，India and Japan．Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space，or go find a Hoffice near them．
On a Hoffice day，everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour．After 45minutes，everyone gets up to take a break，stretch，do qigong or yoga for 10to 15minutes．Afterwards，people can gather around again，and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day，as a way to motivate each other．Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour，potluck-style（家常饭）or by bringing your own lunch．
This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment．As some freelancers describe，"By working at Hoffice，we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment，where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs．We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm，happy，inspired and creative during the working day．"
So Hoffice is not just about sharing space； it's also about a free exchange of ideas．And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use．
