Yeah, we'll save a lot of money Don't forget some refreshing drinks We got lemonade, iced tea, and some beer. We could ask everyone to bring a potluck dish That's smart, Amber.

Looking forward to it Noah shopping OMG Susan you won't believe this Calm down. What happened? I got a date Remember Steve the guy who interviewed me? He asked me out That's amazing. What day is it? Saturday night and that's the problem My closet is a disaster zone. I have nothing to wear Let's head to the mall then Wow, this place is packed Let's check the new arrivals section over there, I'm sure all the trendy stuff is there Okay Bella look at this dress. It's perfect. But is it a little sparkly Sparkle is good. It's a date night, right? I'm not a fan of sparkly things. So how about we check out that area? Maybe we'll have more discounts there. All right How do I look? Five out of ten. Blue looks so lame on you But Steve loves blue You only look best in what you love wearing. You can't wear that just because that Steve guy likes it. Only your personality matters Thanks for the TED talk. You're welcome Okay, how about this? You look stunning Bella Hi ladies. Do you need help with anything? Yes, please. Could we get this dress in a different size? Absolutely. What size are you looking for? A smaller size, please Noted. I'll be right back Great this look Susan This is your best so far. I will go with this one for the date. How much is this? That dress is currently on sale for $75 Okay, I'll take it New project. All right team today, we will brainstorm for the upcoming campaign for our new fitness tracker Sounds exciting Who are we aiming at? We will target young adults who want to stay fit So the message must sound energetic, right? It's something young people can connect with Maybe we could use social media influencers. They have a lot of reach with our target audience That's a smart suggestion Bella Now, let's talk about where to advertise. I would suggest using Instagram and tik-tok. Lots of young people use them for fitness motivation What if we create funny skits on tik-tok to introduce the tracker? By that way, we could attract younger customers. I agree. Everyone falls for entertainment What about a catchy slogan for the campaign? How about track your way to fitness or maybe unlock your potential with the trackers name included? That sounds more powerful Those are both great options. We will fix them later Now any ideas for offline media channels? What about college campuses? We could set up booths with free trials and contests We could also give free goodies with every tracker purchase Everyone loves free stuff, right? That's right Freebies always attract attention. This is so productive guys We've had so many good ideas already We will take a small break before the next discussion Let's go get some coffee guys Don't forget to practice your English every day to improve your English level Watch the video for one week Try to think and speak in English every time Listen and repeat the lesson out loud to improve your listening and speaking skills fast Thanks for watching.
