Having a peek at the profferred materials, the reading section pleads the opinion of working for days with twenty percent less wages by putting forth its potential toeholds. Conversely, the flaws of this strategy were provided in the listening segment.

The employees in the United States became way more eager to accept four-day working with twenty percent reduced salaries than obeying the five-day with full payment system. Also, this tendency is guaranteed legitemately by making companies' offerings to the employees for this route imperative. The reading passage statees that this will cater for amany advantages. Initially, reduced working hours will ensure accrued profits of a company since this strategy means that there will be energetic and more concentrated employees who also exhibit less tendency to cause fatal mistakes. In addition, this modality is in favour of reducing the unemployment because it offers the shift of the burden from current employees to other possible newcomer. As a calculation, for four employees who works 4-day and gets eighty percent of salary, a new employee can be recruited in the same payment rules. Lastly, employees whose working conditions are relatively lightened will have the chance to spare time to their families or to personal goals for further improvement.

In the lecture, however, all the claims reading section is pointing out are challanged by presenting the negative effects of this willing. At first, the companies will need to have new workers which makes additional office space and computer costs unavoidable. Moreover, four-day working does not necessarily assure the reduction in the unemployment because companies may follow different strategies like demanding extra work from their employees for operating all the stuff. This ,indeed, makes the job far less appealing. Third of all, four-day workers are also the ones whose jobs locate in a less stable position. As an illustation, when an economic crisis occurred, they may easilly lose their jobs.
