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

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

My Opinion:
If for the company for which I work, you want to market one of the models of office
chairs, in my opinion the best chair would be model 1 (Modern computer Chair)

I think that it’s one of the best models to be able to gain profit for the company, since
when compared with the other models it gives us a big difference.

The model 1 being made of metal, steel and mesh, makes this chair last longer than
one that is made of wood or any other material. Its price and guarantee are very
favorable for customers and brings many benefits because it can rotate 360degrees
and its height is very comfortable for any type of person. For these reasons I
would be very sure to recommend that model 1.

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.
