Description

Actividad de aprendizaje 11 Evidencia 2: Describing and comparing products Conocer un producto es importante a la hora de distribuirlo y para describirlo en inglés se necesita tener un buen conocimiento sobre el uso de los adjetivos y su correcta posición en una oración, ya que estos adoptan un orden específico de acuerdo con la característica que describen. Adicionalmente, además de conocer de manera interna los productos de la empresa a la cual se pertenece es necesario conocer los de la competencia. Por ende, si se pretende expresar las ventajas de un producto para clientes de habla inglesa, se debe tener en cuenta las estructuras relacionadas con los comparativos y superlativos en dicho idioma. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, para el desarrollo de esta evidencia, usted debe escuchar un clip de audio en el que se presenta la descripción de 3 modelos diferentes de un producto (sillas de trabajo para oficinas). Este clip de audio se encuentra disponible adjunto al enlace de envío de esta evidencia bajo el nombre de “Products review”. Descárguelo y guárdelo en su equipo para que pueda escucharlo las veces que lo requiera. Luego, con base en la información presentada para cada producto, desarrolle los siguientes ítems.

4. If the company you work for wanted to commercialize one of these office chair models, which one do you consider would be the best chair model for your company to make a profit? Why? Write 2 - 3 paragraphs stating your opinion regarding which chair model you consider is the best one and explain the reasons you have to consider so. Remember to use the vocabulary for expressing opinions you can find in the supplementary material. When writing the paragraphs, don´t forget to provide information related to:

 Product main features/characteristics  Product benefits  Product differences compared to other products of the same type R// I consider that the chair model that should be marketed in my company would be the modern model since it has very complete characteristics with the rest of the chairs, in addition to its value compared to the others, it is not very expensive and this generates an extra benefit to when making and selling. because this generates a good profit margin and we would have a good budget for the elaboration and manufacture of more material for sale. On the other hand, if we carefully review the characteristics of the three, this reference has many points in favor, which are: on the material side we have two very resistant materials, which is wood and chrome, you have to choose three different colors, their capacity the weight is higher than that of the other chairs and it has more guarantee than the other chairs. It also has a greater variety in height since it can be graduated higher than the others. For all of the above, I think it is the most appropriate for its commercialization. 5. After writing you opinion, create an audio recording, no more than 2 minutes long, in which you read the paragraphs you wrote in the previous item. Remember to use adjectives in English to describe your preferred office chair model, and comparatives and superlatives to present the advantages of it. Save the recording and send it to your instructor through the virtual platform.
