Hi Nevin,

Have a look a this video and then answer these questions:

1. What does his company sell?
2. What does he see as a problem in modern households in India?
3. What age group is he targetting?
4. What is his product’s unique selling point?
5. Name three factors he says are contributing to the growth in demand for his product.

Have a look at this email. It has problems with word order (marked in red) . See if you can rewrite it. If you have time, feel free to mail it to me. Here’s a short explanation of the rules.

Dear John,

Thanks for your mail. I was yesterday in Berlin and I noticed that they have also the same issue. So we decided to sit down and discuss the issue. As it turns out, they needed for the last project one month longer because so many people on the project team got ill. The manager there said that this is in wintertime fairly normal. But it was this time more serious. I advised them not to cut it so fine when it comes to staffing. As I said, we had last winter too this problem, but we didn’t run short of staff. We will get tomorrow from their HR a full report.

Best regards,

Next week, we’ll spend about 15mins looking at using the “I have been doing” form and why it is used.

Br,

Paul.
