Discussion • 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 Doris 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.
