DiscussionDiscussion
• Work in groups of 3-4.
• Which of these following events will Porters be suitable for? Refer to Reading 2 for answers.– an end-of-year office party– an evening with a new client and his/her partner– a corporate event to launch a new product or service– a negotiation for a contract with a new client– an end-of-week meal with small group of colleagues
18Doris YANG
• Porters would seem to be suitable for an end-of-year party or and end-of-week meal as the restaurant is very popular and appears to encourage groups.
• It would also appear suitable for a product launch as the advertisement mentions corporate events and company presentations.
• However, even though the advertisement says the restaurant has semi-private facilities, it might be a better idea to choose a restaurant that is quieter and / or designed to impress for a negotiation or an evening with a new client.
