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.

1. 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

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
The design that serves us for our company is the traditional style for its measures
35,439 inches high, 19.7 inches wide and 19.7 inches long, has a 360-degree turn
with a weight capacity of up to 250 pounds per person, with a steel frame in a
robust support with metal base and a year of manufacturer's warranty, with
excellent prices of 66.09.

The traditional chair is cheaper than the 2 and 3, it combines ergonomically with
the traditional chair to work 8 hours a day which makes it not have the 2 and 3,
without damaging the spine, greater comfort

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.
