The improved attempts are more fluent. Ari appears more convincing. The content is well organized and clearly explained. His speaking is natural and calm.
-
The first and foremost tip is to concentrate on the focus first and enhance or precise the content. After this the planning is useful with three to five prompts. Be casual in your speaking and self confident. The speaking will be easier.

1.Where is your hometown?
I live in Algiers which is a South Mediterranean port. It is a big city in Algeria with more than four millions people. It takes two hours by air from London and less than twenty four hours by sea from Marseilles to be back home.

Firstly there is the historical Kasbah just above the old part of the... -
Obviously the second attempt is better than the first. The lexical improved somehow although the content was already there in her first attempt. About her fluency in the second try there were very few hesitations. The global coherence is effective in the three questions. Perhaps 7 would be the appropriate mark for her assement.

I enjoyed all this rich description of the British Empire with the different aspects. Really a great history work which covers four centuries of the British Empire till its decline which is in fact a great chunk of the moderne history of the whole world.

Some companies like petrol companies or rare natural resources may need special valuation methods. The very volatil market prices that is theirs distinguish them from normal companies.

1.There are better prices for same industry companies like Total or BASF with lower multiples. It is more than nine for Poly Chemical.
2. The asking price is worthy since you have to pay the same amount for just purchasing the same equipement. Adding that Poly Chemical has a good growth and almost no debt burden. No place for cash flow financing. -
Perhaps because in emrging markets there are not refinancing of cash flow lending. The monetary market is not well developed and the banks prefer assets collaterals.

I think first of all it is because the M&A activity is less developed in emerging markets so a company would be ready for selling only if the ebitda is deteriorating. Secondly in emerging markets the others factors and institutions pushing for facilitating M&A transactions are not eell established like Inv banks, accounting, lenders etc..

The first step towards stimulating M&A would be educating company owners and managers about the benefits of M&A. I'll go then to lenders and regulators before improving knowledge and skills. Investment banks in the same time would be on their way to the benefit of M&A market in emerging economies..

1. Thai Junan Securities could be the best advisor because they probably have better data on the manufacturers activities and markets. They are probably more informed on share-holders.
