Provide work out design make set up find out |
Jimmy Tomczak, from Michigan, USA, enjoyed walking in the countryside, but he couldn't find the right shoes to wear. Most good quality, lightweight shoes cost too much, so he decided to (1) design his own product.
One day, he was helping a builder to repair a roof of a house. Instead of using expensive material, they used old advertising boards, which were made of a lightweight strong plastic. After six months, the roof was still in good condition. The plastic proved to be strong as well as waterproof. That encouraged Jimmy to (2) find out more about the material and to use it in his shoe production.
He created 20 shoe models before he was satisfied with the final design and could (3) set up a business.
At first, he didn't sell his shoes to (4) make a profit, but after a while, he managed to (5) work out the right cost in order to set a price. All the sandals are made locally, using local workers. Now Jimmy's business is very successful. He is selling about 1,000 pairs of his special shoes every month.
6 Answer the following questions about Jimmy Tomczak’s invention.
Jimmy Wanted to produce his own shoes because there wasn't an affordable pair of shoes on the market that was suitable for his needs.
Jimmy thinks the plastic advertising boards were light, strong and waterproof.
Jimmy's product is made of recycled material, and local workers produce it locally.
Suggested answer: Anyone would buy Jimmy's shoes because they are comfortable. They are made of lightweight strong plastic.
