Listening text Director: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We’re here today to talk about sales of our chocolate bar, ChocoLoco. ChocoLoco was first sold in nineteen fifty. We did quite well in the first year, with a

ten point five per cent share of the market. However, the sales figures in the next few years were not so good. By nineteen sixty, market shares had decreased by five per cent. Then we introduced a new marketing programme, and market share increased to seven per cent in nineteen seventy. However, this

was still below what we had expected. In nineteen seventy-nine, we packaged the chocolate bar in a new way. The results were good, and in nineteen eighty, the number of people buying ChocoLoco rose sharply to twelve per cent. The sales figures for nineteen ninety stayed the same as those for nineteen eighty. In

the year two thousand, we had a new model in our advertisements. This had a good effect and market share increased to fifteen per cent. We will continue using this model in our advertisements and packaging. In two thousand and ten, we expect a nineteen point five per cent market share. We hope that this increase

will continue, and in two thousand and twenty, we expect it to rise to twenty-four per cent. Thank you for your attention.
