    The reading describes benefits to the companies, the country and the employees of a four-day workweek, whereas the listening part opposes these influences.

    While paying less to those four-day employees and hiring more staff will ensure the same workload without additional costs, according to the speaker, the companies’ profits will decrease. Hiring more staff would result in more money spent on training and medical insurance. Also, more employees require more office space and computers. Such costs would reduce the profits of companies a lot.

    The lecturer also refutes the reading’s claim that the option for four-day work could reduce unemployment rates. There are substitutes to accomplish the same task without hiring new staff. Companies can make employees work overtime. Besides, the four-day employees would be even required to complete the five-day work. If so, the unemployment rate will not decrease.

    Finally, the speaker casts doubt that four-day employees have a better life quality. Because less time spent on work equals a decline in job ability, they are more likely to lose their jobs during an economic downturn. And they may not be promoted since five-day employees are more likely to have these chances.

    The reading message describes the benefits of implementing a four-day workweek policy to the companies, the country and the employees, while the listening part opposes this practice.

    First of all, the speaker suggests that corporate profits will decline. The reading part claims that paying four-day employees less and hiring more staff could ensure the same amounts of workload being completed without adding additional costs. However, hiring more staff could result in additional spending on training and medical insurance. Also, more employees require expanded office space and facilities such as computers. Such costs could significantly reduce corporate profits.

    The lecturer also refutes the reading’s claim that the practice of four-day work would reduce unemployment rates. According to the reading passage, firms need to hire new staff to complete the same task. But the lecture argues that companies have substitutes to make the work done. For example, businesses can require four-day employees to work overtime in order to complete the five-day work. If so, the unemployment rate probably not decrease.

    Finally, the speaker doubts whether four-day employees will enjoy a better life. The reading message says four-day employees could spend extra time enjoying themselves. But they probably suffer from potential disadvantages. One reason may be found when looking at their job stability–they are more likely to lose their jobs during an economic downturn. Moreover, they are less likely to get promoted than the five-day staff.
