1. Read the following information about a car dealer’s presentation.
Thank you everyone for coming. I’d like to talk about the
latest sales figures for March this year compared with last year.
As you can see from the chart, there are big difference brand
and different models. First of all, I’d like to show you the figures for
Toyota. If you look at the figures for the Prius, you’ll see that sales
went up from 100 to 130, so they rose by 30%. That’s quite
impressive. As you know, people want greener cars and that’s why
the Prius is very popular and these are it’s best sales figures ever.
The other Toyota models were OK., but sales of the Camry fell by
about 5%. They went down from 60 to 57 this year. Now let’s take a
look at the Hyundais. The Elantra went down to 36, while the Coupe
one rose to 97. Also the Suzuki rose sharply to 170.
