Best regardsJohn Taylor Writing testExam PracticeBegin by asking students to read the introductory paragraph about this part of the exam. Refer them to the Exam Success tip and ask them to answer the four questions in the tip with reference to the exam task on page 95. AnswersWhat type of business document do I need to write? A report. What is my role (job) in the scenario? A representative from a market research pany carrying out research. Who am I writing it for / to? A soft drinks pany. What information from the visual material and handwritten notes is essential? The information in the handwritten notes is always essential in this type of question. With the pie charts, students will need to summarise the main trends indicated rather than list every figure given. With the bar chart, students should summarise the overall indication of preferences and not worry about quoting exact percentages.Students write their reports. If necessary, refer them back to the introduction to writing reports in Module 4 on page 42 and 43. They will also find the checklist on page 94 helpful while they write or after they have plete their reports. They could then swap with a partner and use the checklist to mark their work. Possible answerReport on findings from focus group research Introduction The aim of this report is to make remendations based on findings from ten focus groups.FindingsFirstly, nearly threequarters of responses to the cherry flavour were very positive with only 7% being neither positive nor negative about the product. On the other hand, about twothirds said they disliked the strawberry flavour because of the sugar and artificial taste. Finally, with regard to the normal and diet versions, approximately 20% more people preferred the diet cherry version and nearly three times as many preferred the diet strawberry version. RemendationsBased on these findings, I would remend that the pany launches two types of cherry flavour drink (normal and diet). While I wouldn39。t suggest a normal strawberry version, the pany could consider producing a diet version which was clearly more popular.
