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.

4. If the company you work for wanted to commercialize one of these office

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

If I have to recommend about this kind of chair, I will pay attention to those needs
you have, for example, if is the case you´re gamer obviously you will need some
chair that’s comfortable and breathe, and even it have lumber support, so you can
pass many hours in there, by the way, something similar happens if you are
freelancer, but it can also change about the tastes you have, I mean, materials,
some people love the metal and wood, those materials are the most fashionable in
interior design, and the color will change for the people like and the bedroom
design, and for the last thing and personal point of view is the price, of course, I
will not pay thousands of dollars for something I’m not sure that give me the
manufacturer warranty, so I will choose something pretty, cheap, and with high
quality.
 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.
