▶ Your Answer : The writer and the lecturer talk about the
pros and cons of franchises. The writer explains three possible advantages of
franchises and the lecturer raises specific counterclaims. To
begin with, the writer argues that franchise owners can get out of the risk of
choosing false supplier, because the franchising companies have already
reliable suppliers. This is in complete opposition the lecturer who states that
the suppliers of the franchising companies usually provide overpriced product,
so it is difficult for franchise owners to remove the risk. Furthermore, the second assertion of the reading passage, that
franchising owners do not have to spend a lot of money on advertising is refuted
by lecturer. The lecturer insists that there is no impact on advertising in
franchising, because the franchising companies virtually do not advertise the
franchises' product, so this is very little beneficial to franchising owners.
Finally, regarding the last point about
security, the writer contends that franchising owner have more security than
starting an independent business. The lecturer, however, explains that this is
not true, because according to some studies, franchise is more dangerous twice
than starting new business.
