BBC, Learning English, Words in the news, 9 October 2009




Answer the following questions.


1. What is ‘Interbrand’ ?

2. What do they say about Coca Cola ?



3. What does Interbrand’s latest survey say?
MOST VALUABLE BRANDS                                                                       A


It's hard to put a fin__________ (A1) value on a well-known corporate (B1) name but every

year the marketing consult__________ (A2) Interbrand has a go. For example (B2) , it claims

the world's top br__________ (A3) Coca-Cola is currently worth(B3) $68bn, a couple of billion

dollars l__________ (A4) than 12 months earlier (B4) .

corpor__________ (A6) pecking order. Car companies (B6), s__________ (A7) as BMW

and Toyota, along (B7) with Harley Davidson motorc__________ (A8) , have seen above

average declines in the value (B8) of their brands - as have some lux__________ (A10) firms,

like watchmakers ( B10) Cartier and Rolex, and Armani __________thing (A11). The

lesson seems to be consumers(B11) don't value exp__________ (A12) things they don't

actually need to buy so much when times are hard (B12).

Mean__________ (A13) , firms associated with relatively cheap (B13) products - McDonalds

f__________ (A14) food and Kellogg's cornflakes (B14), for example - have seen the value

of their brands r__________ (A15) relative to others in the recession. The Google brand (B15)

has also done well - maybe that's because more people are b__________ (A16)-hunting on the

internet.

According to the survey, the world's five most valuable (B16) brands are Coca-Cola, IBM,

Microsoft, General Electric and Nokia, unchanged from last year.
