Magazine Direct Quote: Earlier this year Wal-mart attempted to lower its prices in order to bring more customers in but it didn’t exactly go as planned. “Cutting prices depressed sales, as shoppers took the bargains and ran. For the quarter ending July 31, Wal-Mart’s U.S. same-store sales fell 1.8%. The company's same-store sales have now fallen for five straight quarters. Of the rollback strategy, Bill Simon, the president and CEO of Walmart U.S., told investors at a September conference, "It did not do what we had hoped it would do. It did, however, drive price perception. It did not drive sales or traffic." As a result, Wal-Mart rolled back the deeper discounts, and prices started inching upward this summer.” Paraphrase: Wal-Mart wanted to increase their sales so they did what any other store would do; they dropped their prices to entice more people into the store. However this only lasted a short time. Customers came but never came back. Work Cited- Gregory, Sean. "Has Walmart's Price Chopping Come to an End?" Time Magazine 5 Oct. 2010. Web. 6. Literature Book Direct Quote: The key to making a good presentation is making the topic we wish to speak about clear and memorable. We also have to think of the audience in front of us who will be the ones listening and being influenced by our words, so make them count “A written script can be a barrier between you and your audience. If you speak from an outline, make eye contact with your listeners to monitor their responses and adjust what you have to say accordingly. Write out only the parts of your presentation where precise wording counts, such as quotations.” Paraphrase: When we make an oral presentation, it is important to make eye contact with audience and focus on their responses. Also make sure your writing is clear and appropriate for your viewers to understand. Work Cited- Maimon, Elaine P., and Janice H. Peritz. "Oral Presentations." Introduction. Writing Intensive.
