Speaker 2 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Section 4. You'll hear part of a talk given by a professor for a marketing course.
0:10
S…
Speaker 2 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
In the talk, he compares different makes and models of a type of car called Super Mini,
0:16
S…
Speaker 2 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
for which the students will work out advertising strategies for their final projects.
0:22
S…
Speaker 2 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
1:25
S…
Speaker 2 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
1:31
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Now, sales of Super Minis.
1:33
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
And if you don't know, Super Minis are a particular class of small but luxurious car.
1:39
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Sales have taken off in the past few years, and there are a number of factors behind this trend.
1:45
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
One of the primary reasons is the price of fuel.
1:49
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Super Minis are relatively economical, so customers are turning to them as a means to reduce the fuel bill.
1:56
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
The second reason is also a financial one.
1:59
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Both tax and insurance are very reasonable where Super Minis are concerned.
2:05
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Then, there is the fact that Super Minis don't lose their value as quickly as larger cars.
2:10
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Not to mention the ease with which the narrow city streets can be navigated.
2:15
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
These advantages are present across the board in all makes of Super Mini.
2:19
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
These cars have undoubtedly become desirable, and with so many available in the market now,
2:26
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
this creates a challenge for the developers of advertisement campaigns,
2:30
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
which is exactly why I've chosen this sector for your final projects.
2:34
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
As you know, you'll be working in teams, and each team will be allotted one of these brands by lottery,
2:42
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
but we'll take care of that next week.
2:45
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
In today's lecture, I'm going to give you an overview of the different brands.
2:50
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
I'd suggest you keep notes, perhaps make yourself as a table,
2:54
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
because you'll need the information as you develop your project,
2:57
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
both for your brand and that of your, shall we say, competitors.
3:02
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
So, let's move on to the brands and their differences.
3:06
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
One of the most popular brands of Super Mini is the Ford Fiesta,
3:10
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
loved for its affordability and for its competitively low running costs.
3:15
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
The Fiesta's popularity also ensures that it holds its value on the second-hand car market too,
3:21
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
though one major flaw we have identified in its design
3:24
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
is the fact that the boot is extremely cramped.
3:28
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
The Vauxhall Corsa is another fine example of a Super Mini.
3:32
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
It is light to steer, offers great all-around visibility,
3:36
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
is relatively easy and very economical to drive.
3:40
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
But if you think all this sounds too good to be true,
3:43
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
then unfortunately, you're right.
3:45
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
The advantages of this little run-around don't come cheap,
3:48
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
and the Corsa is considered comparatively pricey
3:51
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
when judged against the other options available.
3:54
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
So you might want to think about particular buyers to whom you could market this.
3:58
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Now, France's contribution to the Super Mini market is the Renault Clio.
4:06
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Known for its exterior styling, the Clio is also extremely reliable and well-equipped.
4:12
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
That said, there are some serious weaknesses too.
4:15
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
For a start, the Clio is extremely cramped inside.
4:19
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
This problem is only compounded by the Clio's other major flaw,
4:23
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
or the unbearably awkward driving position.
4:27
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Volkswagen, on the other hand,
4:29
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
achieved a great deal when developing the Polo for the Super Mini market.
4:33
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
The Polo is a very enjoyable drive,
4:36
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
and is reliable and perhaps, just as importantly,
4:39
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
inexpensive to repair when breakdowns do occur.
4:42
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
This is largely thanks to the car's excellent build quality.
4:45
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
The only flaw, really, is the fact that the Polo's engine is underpowered,
4:50
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
which is all the more disappointing
4:52
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
when you consider that it ticks so many other boxes.
4:56
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Another car attempting to make headway in the Super Mini market
4:59
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
is the Peugeot 203,
5:02
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
a car that is renowned for its stylish interior,
5:05
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
and which pleasantly surprises many a new owner
5:08
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
once they realise how spacious it is too,
5:11
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
being particularly generous in that respect in the boot area.
5:14
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
What are its drawbacks?
5:17
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Well, the driving position leaves a massive amount to be desired,
5:20
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
not to mention the fact that the basic model
5:23
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
has virtually no extras or special features.
5:26
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
Far too low spec for my liking.
5:29
S…
Speaker 1 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
The truth is...
5:32
S…
Speaker 2 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
That is the end of section 4.
5:34
S…
Speaker 2 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
6:02
S…
Speaker 2 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
That is the end of the listening test.
6:04
S…
Speaker 2 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
You now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers
6:07
S…
Speaker 2 (45 - TEST 11 Section 4-)
to the listening answer sheet.
