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 “Productsreview”. 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.
