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.
- Based on the description of the three different models of office chairs you will listen to in the audio clip, complete the product description chart with the missing information. Use the features in the box below to fill in the chart with the characteristics that properly describe each chair type.
