Brief: you and your team are launching a sports product, accessory or event. You want me to help you finance your business. Please convince me with a good sales pitch, while you present your case. You will explain to me :
– what your product is about
– your pricing strategy
– your distribution strategy
– how you intend to promote it and launch it
– provide me with information about your market and competitors
– persuade me with a consistent, effective, clear SWOT analysis
This is fiction: it does not matter to me if your product/business is not too realistic – this is an English class… Focus on your accent (you know what I am like…)
EXTRA : Bonus, 2 marks – enjoy your grammar!
Training exercise: yes, you can improve your accent!
How about trying to repeat word for word what natives say? This will definitely help. Use the transcription tool to read as the person explains things all along… then it will be your turn to speak.
