Writing exercise

Thanks for everybody who is for coming to this meeting. I’m Vikki,  who is the product manager of bio oil and I will introduce to you to a new way to treat the dry skin today. If you have any questions, you can ask me after I finish the presentation.

I think most of you who comes came today heard about bio oil for a long time. It’s a very famous oil which can care (heal/nourish/treat) the skins and recover the stretch marks. In 2019, bio oil will bring a new way to care for dry skin, it’s a gel. The new product will have 50% bio oil and many other good (ingredients/elements 成分) for the skin. It’s really good for people who are work in a dry environment like airplane captains, flight attendets, farmers and swimming coaches etc.

There is no similar product in the market. The company launched it in UK first, and it sold very well. It broke down the normal image of gel and brought a new way to protect the skin.

We plan to launch it in sep. when the season starts to be dry …..

Above up is what we will do in the next year, and I do hope the gel sells well. And if you have any question can ask me now.
