Peter: I'm glad you decided to make it today. I'd like to start by taking a
look at the year's sales and profit figures. First of all John, could you summarise
the sales figures?
John: Well, we had a good January- 5.2 million. January's a difficult
month because sales always_____
1
(drop) after Christmas. In February we
started the new children's line and it went very well. Total sales_____
2
(rise) to
almost 8 million, which was nice. Unfortunately they then_____
3
(plummet)
after the fire in the main factory. But by the end of April we_____
4
(recover) -
10.2 million was the figure - and since then sales_____
5
(go up) progressively
month by month. The December figures aren't in yet, but it looks like we____
6
(probably reach) 15 million this month.
Peter: Good. I've got a couple of questions, but I'll save them for later.
Kate, sales have increased, but has that meant higher profits?
Kate: Yes, it has. We're waiting for the final figures, but we already know
that generally, in the first three quarters of the year, profits_____
7
(rise) by 15%
compared to last year, from 960,000 to 1.1 million. In fact since April,
profits_____
8
(increase) every single month and they_____
9
(still go up).
Peter: What about next year?
