Une synthèse de deux minutes

Proposition (environ 110 mots) : The document reports on Harlow Precision, a 240-strong engineering firm which moved to a four-day week without cutting pay. According to its managing director, the results are encouraging: output has held steady, and sick leave has fallen. Yet the experiment has its critics. Some customers complain that the firm is unreachable on Fridays, and a competitor argues that such a model could never work in sectors like care or retail, where someone has to be present. The trade union, for its part, supports the idea but warns that four longer days are no improvement. For the union, the real issue is not the number of days worked, but the workload.

Ce qui fait la note : chaque idée a son locuteur (according to its managing director, a competitor argues, the trade union, for its part) ; la donnée précise est citée (240 salariés) ; les connecteurs (yet, for its part) organisent ; la dernière phrase prépare la transition vers le commentaire. Aucune opinion personnelle dans la synthèse.
