Make up a dialogue about your studying at college.

Tell about your future profession.

Read the magazine article and answer the questions which follow.

What’s in a name?

Have you ever thought about car names? Do they actually mean anything? And do you know what the name of your car means?

For example, you may think ‘Rover’ is just a name, but there is never just a name in marketing. A rover is a wanderer – someone who likes to travel around. So the name suggests mobility, freedom, having fun, and going wherever you want to go. These were important qualities when Rover can first came on the market.

Marketing departments of car companies spend a lot of time and money thinking up names for cars. The names should be a reflection of the brand, product and target group. The car you drive tells the world about your status, how much money you have, and the socio-economic group you belong to (or want to belong to). Good car names are catchy and fit the product, such as ‘Beetle’ or the ‘Mini’.

The name should also appeal to a global audience. At the very least, the name should not mean anything bad in another language. (This was why Rolls-Royce decided not to use the name ‘Silver Mist’ for one model: mist means animal manure in German!)

American car makers like to give their SUVs names that remind people of the Wild West, full of adventure and danger. Did you know that ‘Wrangler’ is another word for cowboy? Or that ‘Maverick’ means an unbranded that has strayed from the herd? People who own SUVs seldom drive them off-road, but they enjoy the feeling of excitement that the name creates.

1. How important is the name of a car to you? Would you buy a car if you didn’t like the name?

2. How many car names do you know the meaning of?

3. Imagine you are working in the marketing department of a large car manufacture and you want to produce a small sports car with women as a target group. What would you call it?
