SECTION 1 - LISTENING TEXTS PART 1 - CONVERSATION AT A SPORT SHOE COMPANY READ THE TEXT TO YOUR STUDENTS

Karen: OK. Now let’s talk about who we will use to market our product. Simon: Well, one possibility would be to use a famous overweight person since this is our target audience. Karen: Yes, the person can be overweight, but he must show that he is still active. Remember, our customers want to be fit not fat. How about a boxer or golf player? Simon: Not all boxers are heavy, and most golf players are not overweight. I suggest we use a sports person that plays American football. Most of them are heavy, but fit and strong. What do you think Karen? Karen: I think that idea might just work. Simon: Ok. I’ll contact our sports promoter to put us in contact with some American football candidates.
