The lecture entirely refutes the passage. It is said in the lecture that working a four-day week can't make more profits, provide more jobs or leave the workers live a better life.

First, in the reading passage, the author believes that the shortened workweek would increase company profits because the errors will be less; while on the other hand, the lecturer claims that the four-day week will cost the company more money. There are many reasons, for instance, the training fee and the medical benefits will become more. What's more, the additional office spaces and computers will cut the profits.

Second, contrary to the statement in the reading, the speaker in the lecture argues that the four-day week won't make more job opportunities and will leave the working time more unpleasant. His reason is that the workers will work overtime to make up the difference between other departments in the company, because the other officers work five-day a week.

Finally, the lecturer completely dines the viewpoint that the workers could improve the quality of their lives. And according to the professor in the listening, workers will undertake more risks by a four-day week because their job abilities will decrease so that they will lose their jobs if there is an economic downtown.

To sum up, the speaker raises serious counterargument against the reading passage in this set of materials.

LZ, 大致上点没丢太多.. 因为我的初稿和你的差不多..

EG:
1.四天可以做完的工作 现在因为工作时间减少了 得花5天去完成...
2.应该是no additional job will be created and made their current job more unpleasant. 而不是你说的working time让他们不开心..
3.然后overtime那一点 好像是这么说的: companies can ask their employees to work overtime to make up difference.
4.然后最后一点 很清楚的说到: decrease employees' work abilities and cannot benefit to their career advancement... 你这个没有写哦..

以下是我重听的... 第三段内容... 如果写进去就更美满了..
they may pass over for promotion because the company will prefer to have 5 day employees in management positions to ensure continue its coverage and the supervision for the entire workweek.  <我重听的..嘿嘿.. 我也没记下这句话..>

问楼主:
是按时完成的么..?

我超时了...

wuqian童鞋评价的太详细了，我都不好意思说了。
总之，写得点都对了。
我没看明白，wuqianEG的第一点，是什么意思？
受到wuqian同学严谨的学风的影响，我又看了一遍原文。我再补充一下：
第一点中，阅读说了两点原因，使得benefit 不会减少。
           1.error少，大家都alert
           2.payroll cost不变。
第三点中是economic downturn

第二点俺写错了 呵呵
因为当时听的时候没听清~ 听到了一个 difference就瞎猜了个原因 囧~
你写的是对的~
第一点应该改成
the shortened workweek would increase company profits because the errors will be fewer（看了YC的我才知道是fewer） while the additional payroll cost won't be more
我确实没注意这点~

你说的那句话我仔细听了
当时确实没听见
但是那句非常重要啊
我觉得现在的综合写作每条基本都是2到3点
有的时候觉得自己听的不错 最后还是fair
就是因为好多小点漏听了或没听清

你说的第一点我也没明白什么意思
另外第二点 我的意思是 四天工作使他们的工作时间更不愉快了
呵呵  大约和你说的 工作不开心差不多吧~

The lecture entirely refutes the passage. It is said in the lecture that assembling a group of people into a team doesn't offer the advantages discussed in the reading.

First, in the reading passage, the author believes that the teamwork can spread responsibility so that the creative solutions will come out; while on the other hand, the lecturer claims that some members in the team will get a free ride while not contribute at all. What's more, some members can provide the useful solutions to lead decision turn to be good, but the great results don't show anyone's name. Therefore, there is not fair for the second group of people in the team.

Second, contrary to the statement in the reading, the speaker in the lecture argues that the teamwork won't make a decision more quickly because they have to have a lot of meetings to reach a solution. They are really time-consuming.

Finally, the lecturer completely dines the viewpoint that the team member has a better chance to shine. If the influential person in the team says that this idea won't work, the team will drop this idea instead of any further discussion. As a consequence, the creative ideas may be ignored. Furthermore, if the solution fails, all team members will be blamed on.

To sum up, the speaker raises serious counterargument against the reading passage in this set of materials.

7# Alice520 LS的点抓的很全，但关于这些点的对应方面我的看法跟你不一样，
1、我认为文章说的“团队比个人更可能提出创造性的解决方案‘ 对应的是听力中的”团队中有影响力的人可能阻碍这种创造性方案的产生“
2、听力中说的”团队中存在free ride 和那些真正的贡献者对团队的看法“ 对应 阅读中的”team members feel better and have more chance to shine“。
总起来感觉tpo2的综合写作部分文本和听力的逻辑性对应不好，导致了我们的理解困难，这可能是ETS早期不成熟的产物吧！貌似这两年综合写作逻辑越来越清晰啦！
楼主加油哇！
