big and on top
one of these has a space for a photo

i think it makes the text a little too
small

read with the picture
okay then let's go with the other one

of august
well we'd like to give you three design
options for the initial draft and then
have you choose the one which best fits
your concept

a man is joining a sports club and
getting information on its policies
what type of membership will he choose
[Music]
let me start by explaining our club's
different membership options as
described in this brochure
regular members can use the gym in the
pool at any time on any day of the week
but we also offer early morning
memberships where people can use the
facilities only in the early morning and
night memberships for people who only
want to come in the evening
what are the hours for early morning
members
early morning members can use the
facilities from 6 a.m to 10 a.m and
night members can use them from 6 p.m to
11
i see so early morning members can stop
by and use the facilities on their way
to work
exactly the early morning type is
popular among people with nine to five
jobs and we also offer memberships just
for the gym or just for the pool if you
only want to use one of those
i want to use both the gym and the pool
i think i'll use the gym in the early
morning before going to work on weekdays
and then use the pool on the weekend
do you have a membership that covers
something like early mornings for the
weekdays but all day on the weekend
we're sorry but we don't offer a
membership like that sir
okay i don't think i can get up that
early on the weekend so i'll choose this
membership option

sales performance at a meeting

past three years and the sales forecast
for the current year and the right chart
shows the monthly breakdown in sales up
to october of this year

it shows that sales have been steadily
increasing over the past three years
and if we can keep increasing our sales
the total sales for this year will show
an increase over last year
next
please look at the right chart
the right chart shows that the campaigns
we ran in april and august were fairly
effective

september following the campaigns
