READING ALOUD
Let’s read the dialogue. I will be Ms. Watson and Mr. Wilson and you will be Mr. Evans. After reading it once, we’ll switch roles.
READ
The team at PharmaCare are exchanging ideas for the promotion of their new product.
 Good morning. Today, we are going to talk about the promotion of our latest product. Is there anyone who wants to share ideas first? |
|
Ms. Watson, I have a suggestion. What if we promote our new product using brochures? In the past, we usually get good results when using brochures.  |
 I see your point, but I think giving brochures is already an out-of-date way of promoting our products. Why don’t we try something new? We could promote our new product on the internet. |
|
Well, I’m not so sure about that but I guess we could give both of your concepts a try. I’m also thinking about promoting the latest product on the internet and in brochures. If you have more ideas in mind, please let the team know until tomorrow.  |
That’s great. So we could see which concept works best for the promotion of our new product. |
|
Exactly. I think we should have another meeting before we start making drafts for promotional advertisements. Thank you and see you later, team. |
