carefully and see if you can answer correctly.
We’ll show you the answer at the end.
Are you ready?
A man is reporting about his company’s sales
performance at a meeting.
Which TWO charts is he using for his presentation?
Please look at the handout.
The left chart shows our company’s sales over
the past three years and the sales forecast
for the current year.
And the right chart shows the monthly breakdown
in sales up to October of this year.
Now, please have a look at the left chart.
It shows that sales have been steadily increasing
over the past three years.
And if we can keep increasing our sales, the
total sales for this year will show an increase
over last year.
Next, please look at the right chart.
The right chart shows that the campaigns we
ran in April and August were fairly effective.
I see, but the sales decreased in May and
September following the campaigns.
Yes, but this kind of decrease is unavoidable.
I expect the annual sales for this year will
show an increase over last year if we can
keep increasing our sales.
