STATEMENT OF PERSONAL LEARNING GOALS.

Well, as you know English is a universal language. English is a very important

tool in different aspects. I am studying English because there are three reasons for me:

first I like English because I think that if I learn very well English maybe I could travel

to different countries and learn more about their cultures. Second, I think that English

becomes globalized and is very necessary to communicate around the world, at many

countries. Finally, I want to be an excellent teacher and share all my knowledge to my

future students. To achieve my dreams I should study more and improve my English

skills, but in this case I have to improve my speaking skill.

During this semester in the BUSINESS I’s subject I will learn a lot of things that

helped me to improve my speaking skill. I will acquire enough knowledge in this

subject about business around the world. I will find this subject really valuable because

during this module I will have the opportunity to do a lot of role play about different

topics related business’ world that help me to improve my fluency in the moment when

I am speaking. I think that this subject will be really useful because in this subject o will

have to speak a lot and it can help me. Also, I will use a lot of new vocabulary that I am

going to learn in this semester. Thanks to this subject I will speak more easily, describe

things and maybe do conversations without a lot mistakes.

In conclusion the BUSINESS I’s subject is the best way to learn English because

I this subject I spoke all the time and did some role plays that are really good to improve

my fluency, my pronunciation and others skills that I should put in practice when I was

speaking.

Executive Summary

national franchise through our creative approach to the company's image and detail

presentation. Choclos' Carmita will provide a combination of excellent food at value

pricing, with fun packaging and atmosphere. Choclos' Carmita is the answer to an

increasing demand for snack-type fast food, to be consumed while window shopping and

walking around inside a shopping mall.

Our main priority is to establish one outlet in a crowded mall, preferably in one of

prominent shopping malls in Ambato. Later, our effort will be a further development of

more outlets around Ecuador

1.2. – Mission

Our main goal is to be one of the most successful fast food outlets in Ambato, starting with

Our main focus will be serving high-quality food at a great value.

1.3. - Keys to Success

To succeed in this business we must:

* Create a unique, innovative, entertaining menu that will differentiate us from the rest of

want to be on the safe side of the business.

27

Page 34: Juan Tanguil Porfolio

*Sell the products that are of the highest quality, as well as keeping the customers happy

with all of our product categories from food to store merchandising.

*Provide 100% satisfaction to our customers and maintaining the level of excellent services

among other competitors.

*Encourage the two most important values in fast food business: brand and image, as these

two ingredients is a couple of main drivers in marketing communications.

Company Summary

also provides excellent and friendly customer service to support the ambience of fun,

energetic and youthful lifestyle.

Youthful and fresh surroundings

We will imitate successful establishments, such as Oasis, Tropi Burger and Don Mario,

which represent the majority of our core target market, between 18 to 35 years of age. Our

customers will also be able to read our in-house brochures in regards to all knowledge

about Choclos' Carmita and our featured sauces. Our store will be decorated with fast food

Market Analysis Summary

Consumer expenditures for fast food in Ambato rose during the end of the year

2000, followed by the recovery of Ambato's economy. The increasing number of new

establishments such as fast food franchises, fancy restaurants and gourmet bakeries around

Ambato has shown a significant growth in this sector. Food spending is around 56% of

total consumer expenditures in Ambato, and consumer spending on leisure and recreation

made up of 13% of total consumer spending.

A much broader appeal exists for weekend slots because those are the days when most of

our core target market enjoys the mall going activities.

Age - Youngsters, single, currently enrolled in college and high school.

Family unit - We will also appeal to families (young families) with children.

Gender - We will target both sexes, with a slight skew for males due to their lower attention

to dietary concerns.

Income - We will appeal to the medium income individuals and to all in the lower medium

income bracket.

Our concept will have very broad appeal. It is our goal to be the hip destination for fast

food cravings.

According to a recent public survey of people 15 - 45 years old, 80% of those

interviewed like fast food. 90% of them like fast food on a regular basis, and 10% of them

claimed that they like fast food "very much," or "love" fast food. The survey also provided

the following particular reasons for the increasing popularity of fast food:

People have 52 weekends and three long holidays a year. Most of Singaporeans love

to window shop, and when they do strolling around the shopping district, they need a quick

bite to accommodate their activities.

29

Page 36: Juan Tanguil Porfolio

White-collar workers in offices have stopped bring lunch, and enjoy chicken,

hamburger, pizza or other fast food joints in the vicinity.

Parents give more money to kids and students to buy lunch. Fast food is naturally their first

choice, because of the brand building effort that heavily targets their age group.

Eating out still remains as Ambateños' common habit of life. They do not perceive

fast food is a luxury, and they enjoy it by bringing their family, especially if they have

smaller kids, in the environment of the western-style fast food outlets.

Market strategies

Our strategy is based on serving our markets well. We will start our first outlet as a

"market tester" that could become a model of the expanding number of outlets in the future.

Concentration will be on maintaining quality and establishing a strong identity in the local

market.

A combination of local media and local store marketing programs will be utilized at

each location. Local store marketing is most effective, followed by print ad. As soon as a

concentration of stores is established in a market, then broader media will be explored. We

believe, however, that the best form of advertising is still "buzz." By providing a fun and

energetic environment, with unbeatable quality at an acceptable price in a clean and

friendly outlet, we will be the talk of the town. Therefore, the execution of our concept is

the most critical element of our plan. We will actively build our brand, through the selling

of supporting materials, such as merchandise, promotional items and other marketing

gimmicks similar to those of other fast food franchises.

FINAL REFLECTION

Nowadays, learning English is a very important part in professional and educative

fields. All the people around the world speak the universal language that is English. One of

the things that I should learn is to learn more about some vocabulary related to business

because it in English is very important. If I learn new vocabulary in English I will increase

my knowledge.

The BUSINESS I’s subject that I studied during this semester became the best

implement for learning English because this module helped me to improve my English

skills. Thanks at this subject I can improve my speaking skill because I did a lot role plays

with my classmates and I improved our fluency and pronunciation. I was able to recognize

some technical vocabulary within the business context, applied rules of socialization with

people from different cultures; analyzed rules of communication through technological

resources. Also, I prepared simulated telephone support and assess business projects. The

different topics that we did in the role plays are very interesting because we use the

vocabulary that we learned during the semester.

In conclusion, through hard work, dedication, and intelligence, my goals are

accessible to be accomplished. With this in mind, the completed goals will lead to a series

of positive effects in my life. One effect is that at the end of the semester my English skills

will have improved and I will be ready to move on to the next semester
