M: What’s happening with your essay?
W: Well, I’ve made a start on it. I’ve researched the background quite extensively last weekend and I should get to the writing stage tomorrow with a bit of luck and I’ll get it finished at the weekend.
M: What are you writing about?
W: I decided to look at the car manufacturing company, Jaguar, and examine the problems they had with reliability in the 1970s and 1980s, how they dealt with it, and how it affected their marketing and sales strategy.
M: That sounds pretty interesting. Any problems with that?
W: At the start I had problems getting information from that far back, but after rooting around in the library, I found some magazines which gave me information and references to find other stuff.
M: That’s great, you solved the problems by yourself.
W: Er…It seems now the only problem is keeping to the 4000 word limit. It just seems that I have so much to write about.
M: Yes, your essay title seems, to me, to be very wide-ranging. Would you think about cutting out part of it? How about looking at their sales and marketing strategy but only mentioning the problems in the 70’s and 80’s and not going too far into it?
W: That’s a good idea. That will make it much easier to handle. By the way, how do you want us to hand in our work? Do you want us to drop in a hard copy to your office?
M: You could do that but I’d prefer it if you just emailed it to me as an attachment.
W: OK, thank you, sir.
