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
