In the reading passage, there is ample support for the author’s claim that buying a franchise is better than starting independent business. However, the professor gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author’s point.
First, the professor contends that a business owner can not avoid difficulties in finding reliable suppliers by buying a franchise. To be specific, a franchise contract forces owners to buy specific services and goods which are overpriced. Even though there are different kinds of services and goods at a cheaper price, a franchise company does (주어 동사 일치)not allow owners to buy them. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that a franchise can help business owners to find dependable suppliers and avoid risk of financial loss which is caused by choosing the wrong supplier.
Next, the professor insists that franchise owners can not save money. To explain, they have to pay 6 percent of their total sales. However, a franchise company does not advertise individual franchise owner’s business. They usually advertise their brand or products. For this reason, individual franchise owners get little benefit from franchise company’s commercials. This counters the reading passage’s assertion that a franchise owner can save a lot of money by selling products which are already recognized by people.
Finally, the professor argues that a franchise is not the only option to avoid a failure of a business. It is true that a franchise is less risky than starting an independent business. However, there is a third option. People can buy an already existing business from the previous owners. The success rate of this type of business is higher than starting a franchise business. This refutes the reading passage’s suggestion that the failure rate for a franchise is less than the one for a new independent business because a franchise is a proven business model.
1. 각 문단 시작 전에 tab 버튼 눌러서 들여쓰기 해주세요.
2. reading and listening의 비율이 너무 listening쪽으로만 치우쳐져 있습니다.
비율은 5:5, 적어도 6:4 정도는 되어야 합니다.
이는 리딩에 대한 디테일 부족으로 이어지며, 분량 부족, 추가 설명 실패 등으로 이어질 수 있으니
리딩에서도 evidence를 많이 찾아서 써주시면 좋을 것 같습니다.
3. 사소한 문법 오류 (주어동사 불일치, 단복수, 철자오류 등)를 검토를 통해 꼼꼼히 고쳐주세요.
