Part A: Complete the text about figures with the following words: crisis, forecast, sales, fraction, make up, increase, national.

Staff,

As you know, our 1. figures this year are very low. Our sales in Europe fell by 13 percent in the last quarter, which is the biggest percentage fall ever.

Our sales are only $1.34 billion, to be exact. The recent financial 2. was very bad.

First, we lost a huge 3. of our business – approximately 1/6 of our Asian clients.

Second, our 4. currency lost value; the Euro is now stronger than the dollar.

Fortunately, the experts 5. some good figures. They estimate a 3% 6. in sales by the end of next year. Still, we’ll need to double that in order to 7. what we lost last year.

Part B: Decide whether these statements are true (T) or false (F):

They lost Asian clients. (T/F)

The experts forecast good figures. (T/F)

They need to buy new products. (T/F)
