Evidence 4: Workshop “Showing my product with comparatives”

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.

Por ello en esta evidencia debe grabar un clip de audio donde se expliquen las ventajas y
características de un producto; de igual manera realice el guion de dicho clip. Para ello,
desarrolle un taller de siete (7) ítems, aplicando el uso de comparativos y superlativos en
inglés.

market. So, it’s necessary to provide a new product low fat and low calorie for all who
wants to eat wafer cookies. Also, the company wants to have a production low-cost.
