Appendix C: Listening Tasks and Texts
Listening Task 1:
Listen to the following report of a sales manager and draw a sales line in the chart below.
Listening Text 1:
Good lemen! Now, I'd like to report on this year's sales of copany. At the start of the year I felt very optipany. I felt we had a good chance of having an excellent year. But sales were not quite as I expected.
Overall it wasn't a bad year for sales but our performance was very uneven. We had some good periods when sales were excellent and some bad periods when sales were much weaker. I am going to report on our overall sales. That is, I won't give sales separately for the doa and our international sales to overseas countries. I'll just report on total sales.
The first quarter was not very good. Sales actually dropped during the first three months of the year. There was a big decline. In January, we sold a total of 500 puters but in puters. Thus there was a big fall in sales during this period. The fall was abrupt—it took place over just three months. The problepetitor—the Johnson Copany's prices were very petitive in the first quarter of the year—they were able to sell their coheaper price than we could sell our own coernational market and at home in the domestic market. Another problem we faced was that the interest rates we were paying on our loans from the bank were very high.
However, by April our sales had stopped falling and sales were at the sad quarter as in the first quarter. Sales in June were the saputers. This was not a very good perfor at least we had stopped the decline in sales.
Then in the third quarter there was an abrupt improvement. Sales started to improve in July and by the end of September had reached the same level as January—we sold a total of 500 coember.
In the fourth quarter we were able to the September level. In fact there was a gradual increase over this period, reaching a total of 550 puters in Decehe end of the year we had becopetitive again. This is because we were able to lower the price of our puters whereas Johnson pany had actually increased theirs.
So you can see this was a difficult year. But we ended with stronger sales than we expected and I a year. I expect sales to go on increasing by and by.
