34) The vice president of human resources at Climpson Industries sent the following recommendation to the company's president.
In an effort to improve our employees' productivity, we should implement electronic monitoring of employees' Internet use from their workstations. Employees who use the Internet from their workstations need to be identified and punished if we are to reduce the number of work hours spent on personal or recreational activities, such as shopping or playing games. By installing software to detect employees' Internet use on company computers, we can prevent employees from wasting time, foster a better work ethic at Climpson, and improve our overall profits.

最后一段跟Simon老师一致，前两个不太一样。
讨论之后Simon的理由是题目中提到“prevent employees from wasting time, foster a better work ethic at Climpson, and improve our overall profits.”不妨直接借用题目的famework来构建。

供大家参考。
