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 regardingwhich chair model you
consider is the best one and explainthe 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:
I think that the best chair for the company is model 1, because it has
morewarranty time, it has 360 degrees of rotation, and although it is the
most expensivechair the materials are of better quality. This chair is not the
heaviest, but I think ithas good resistance. This model does not have a wide
variety of colors, but in myopinion the color black is ideal for the office.
I made a comparison with the other two chair models, but in reality they do
not convince me first in terms of prices because I relate them more to the
guarantee time and it is shorter and therefore cheaper, but I am interested in
having more guarantee because of This way the chairs can last longer and
this reduces the cost of repairing or buying new chairs.
Another advantage that I found is that the model one chairs do not need to
be assembled while the other two do, this means that the chairs would arrive
directly to the offices, without setbacks, they would reduce a lot of time and
there would be less work in the office.
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.
