Preparing for an Interpreted Business Mentoring Session

Under each segment: a model interpretation, the information points an examiner checks, and the easiest thing to miss. Try the segment yourself first, then open it. The model is one good way to say it; other wordings that keep every point score just as well.
Before we book your mentoring session here in Newcastle, which language would you prefer for interpreting, and what would you most like help with?
Model answer and marking points
