Invitation to discuss / ask questions

Does anyone have any questions or comments?

Please feel free to ask questions.

Would you like to ask any questions? Any questions?

v Task 7. Read and translate the presentation of a product:

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

We haven’t met before, so I’d better introduce myself. I’m from the R/D departmet of Citrus Incorporated. I hope you’ll excuse my English, I’m a little out of practice. Anyway, I’m going to be talking this morning about a new product we are planning to launch in two months time. It’s called COOL-OUT, a lemon-flavoured drink.

Well, I’ll start with the background and procced to the product itself. I’m going to list some of the selling points. Now, firstly, as you know, we have been manufacturing mixed-fruit drinks for the last ten years, but we stopped producing lemonade last year. Secondly, the market reseach indicates that more and more customers are using soft drinks as mixers with alcohol. In оther words, it means that the market has expanded. So we decided to develop a new kind of soft drink.

I must emphasize that the new product is aimed at the young-professional, high income market and designed for a certain kind of customers. It’s not surprising, therefore, that we must consider very carefully the importance of packaging and design, new label and slogan. We must bear in mind that sophisticated packaging, for example, may cause a problem in the selling area.

So far, we have been using the new size glass bottle and small metal cans as containers. Now we are going to use cartons instead of bottles. Now back to the product. Let’s look again at the major attractions of the product. In spite of the higher price it’ll compete well with existing brands because of its modern design and high quality (see the ingredients).

That’s all. Thank you for your listening. If there are any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them.

 

v Task 8. Now study the example of a company presentation:

Good afternoon, everyone.

My name is Peter Chevrel. I’m the General Manager of Espassabi. The purpose of this presentation is to give you some basic information about our company. I’d like to start by saying where we are and what we do. We are situated in Grenoble, and we are manufacturers and retailers of clothes under the “C-Kool” and “Mirabelle” brand names.

Our customers are young men and women from all walks of life, in the age range from 16 to 25. We also supply wholesale products to agents and mail order catalogues.

Now, I’d like to turn to our market position. We are among the French top three in the clothing sector. As regards our workforce, we employ almost 300 people.

If we can now look at our revenues, last year we achieved an annual turnover of 190 million euros and generated profits of 7.6 million, that is to say 4% of sales.

Finally, a few words about our future plans. We are working on exciting new designs which will reflect a completely new concept of teenage fashion. I’m sure this will make Espassabi the leader of the European fashion market.

Well, thanks very much for listening to my talk. Are there any questions?

v Task 9. Imagine that you are making a presentation to a large group of people working in your industry:

How do you start your presentation?

1. Are we all here? Good, well if we look at the first slide you'll see our total carbon usage for 2005...

2. Hello everyone. Thanks very much for coming along today. My name is Kirk Renolds and today I'll be talking about some of the work we've been doing on our environmental strategy...

3. Hello ladies and gentlemen. My name is Kirk Renolds and today I'll be talking about some of the work we've been doing on our environmental strategy...

v Task 10. Use the following plan to make a presentation of a company:

Firstly, greet everybody and thank for coming to the presentation.
Secondly, introduce yourself.

Then give some basic information about your company.

After that tell about strengths of the company.

Next tell about career opportunities with the company.

Finally say some words about future plans.

In the end thank people for their attention.
