	2 controller: manages money, interprets financial statements, accounting and payroll
	3 sales manager: marketing and advertising, public relations, customer contact
---

2 Lead-in: Tell what ‘points’ the speaker gives (“The professor describes three types of managers.”)
3 First point (“The first type is the general manager.”)
4 Detail/Example (“The general manager is responsible for…”)
5 Second point
6 Detail/Example
(There may also be a third point.)

Listen and take notes about the talk for ETS Guide test 1 (Money)
“Using points and examples from the talk, explain the two definitions of money presented by the professor.”
With your partner, take 5 minutes to prepare a “perfect” response to this prompt.
---
Listen to the sample responses. What is good and bad about each?
---
- Your “introduction” will be short, because the definitions of money are the main points you’ll talk about later.
- You could outline the two definitions as part of your lead-in, and then explain them with examples afterwards.
- “barter system” and “legal tender” are key words in the lecture, but not really necessary in your response as long as you got the idea.

Give your responses to your partner for tests 2 and 3
“Using points and examples from the talk, explain how learning art can improve a child’s development.”
“Using the examples from the talk, explain how persuasive strategies are used in advertising.”
