Discussing a Sales Graph in English

how are your english listening skills

first you’ll see an image and hear a

question

next comes a short dialogue listen

carefully and see if you can answer

correctly we’ll show you the answer at

the end

coffee shop employees are talking about

their sales

choose the graph they are looking at

had good sales from december to february

yes the limited edition items worked out

very well

but i’m sorry to see that the new

product launched in march didn’t sell

well

and ended up dragging down overall sales

for that month

we had our worst sales numbers in

october and march

in general our sales were steadily

increasing but october was the worst

month

of the second half in october a

competitor

opened up a shop nearby and at the

beginning they

lured in our customers i’m relieved to

see that our customers are coming back

yes that’s good news looking at our

customer data by gender and age

we can see that more than half of our

customers are women in their 20s

and 30s this means we will have to come

up with some new campaign ideas to keep

those customers

coming back besides our regular coffee

products we can try to offer more

side dish choices yes

but about 20 percent of our customers

are men in their 20s and 30s

so we need to think of services that

appeal to them as well

offering free wi-fi would appeal to all

customers

in that age range you’re right let’s

consider implementing that idea
