　　PART TWO

　　Question 47

　　(Sample for reference )

　　After careful survey, we can see clearly from the chart that our cars have more models and colours than those of Quaker Company, our main competitor with higher quality. However, Quaker Company's income increases more quickly. What is the reason? First, Quaker Company spends much more money in advertising. I suggest we advertise on BTV, the most popular broadcasting station nowadays. Secondly, we should enlarge the scope of our after-sales service. We can open more service stations in many medium-sized cities. Thirdly,if we have more money, We can hire more salesmen to sell cars directly to the customes, especially, more salesmen in medium-sized cities.
