Text
Lena: Working from home saves commuting time and helps me concentrate on difficult tasks. However, quick questions can take longer because colleagues are not in the same room. I would prefer one shared office day for planning and the rest of the week at home.
>
Mark: I prefer the office because informal conversations often solve problems early. On the other hand, noise and interruptions make focused work difficult. A flexible schedule with two office days would give me the best of both options.

| Writer | Preference | Advantage | Drawback | Compromise |

Fact or inference?

A balanced summary
Both writers see benefits in home and office work, but Lena prioritises concentration while Mark prioritises informal collaboration. Each suggests a hybrid compromise.
