Get Ready to Talk 1. Read the expressions. Then practice with a partner. Start the conversation: Talk about different sections of a magazine
My favorite section is the culture section.
I always read the health and fitness section first.
I think the tourism section is too long. I don’t have
time to read it.
They have some interesting articles in the hobbies
section.
I never read the fashion section.
Really? Mine’s the cooking section.
So do I.
That’s my favorite section.
Yes, I agree.
Really? I always read that first. Continue the conversation: Discuss options
Do we want to target men or women?
Are we going for a younger or older audience?
Should we just have printed copies or both
printed copies and an online edition?
Are we aiming more at active people or stay-athome
people?
Can’t we target both sexes?
I think we want a younger audience.
It’s a lot easier just to do print.
Let’s go for more active people. Finish the conversation: Give and respond to opinions
I think we should have a magazine for the more
mature person.
In my opinion, we must have a website.
Let’s have a big section on food and cooking.
Our target audience should be younger women.
I think so too.
I’m not sure I agree with you there.
Why? There are already too many food
magazines on the market.
I’d go along with that.
Polite ways to disagree
Saying something like “I disagree” can sometimes sound a bit strong. Here are some more polite
ways to disagree.
. I’m not sure I agree.
. I wonder if that’s the best way to go.
. You make a good point, but… 2.
Practice the conversations with a partner. Then say what issues regarding the different target
audiences are mentioned in the conversations.
Part 2 Start Talking!
Conversation 1 ___________________
A:
So, who should our target audience be?
B:
I think we should aim the magazine at
younger people.
A:
And do we want to target both men and
women?
B:
I think so. The number of readers will be
higher.
A:
But it’ll be difficult to find topics that
appeal to both men and women.
Conversation 2 ___________________
A:
Are we printing the magazine or publishing
it online?
B:
These days the online version is preferred.
A:
I’m not sure I agree. Older people still tend
to buy printed copies.
B:
But don’t we want to target a younger
audience too?
A:
In this case, why don’t we have both
versions?

The first thing we have to decide is who the [1] ________ audience will be for our new magazine. B:
I think we should aim the magazine at a broad [2] _______ of society. C:
I wonder if that’s the best approach. We may end up satisfying no one. We should narrow our focus.
Something like women in their twenties and thirties who like to travel and are interested in food. A:
Maybe that’s a bit too [3] _______, but I think women in that age range would be right for our
magazine. I also think we should have sections on travel and food, as well as things like fashion

Exactly. B:
What you seem to be saying is that we should focus on young women who have a decent
amount of [4] _______. A:

In that case, should we include a section on dating? Dating [6] _______ and suggestions on how

I’m not sure I’d go along with that. I think that makes the magazine a bit [7] _______. Dating tips
don’t really fit alongside culture. B:
I see what you mean. Maybe we could include things on health and [8] _______ instead. A:
Yes, that would certainly be of interest to our target audience. C:
Now, if we’re targeting reasonably [9] _______ younger women, will the magazine only be in an
electronic format or do we still want print? A:
I would go for electronic only. It’s so much easier than having to print the magazines and then [10] _______ them. B:
Better for the environment too. C:
I certainly agree with electronic only. 2. Practice the conversation with two of your classmates.

Talk and Consider 1.
You have to finalize the details of your new magazine. First, make a list of four groups of people
who can possibly be your target audience, and then decide on one or more to focus on. Next,
think of four sections that you must have in your magazine and explain why. Finally, decide if your
magazine will be printed, published online, or both, and give your reasons for this decision. You’re launching
a new lifestyle
magazine. Who
will be the target
audience and
what topics will
the magazine
cover? Will it be
printed, published
online, or both?
