Script:

At the beginning of the last financial year, sales of our shoes stood at £800,000. Sales took off between May and June. However, they then fluctuated between June and November. In December there was a noticeable decline in the sales from £1,500,000 to £1,200,000. The downward trend continued, and in February sales reached their lowest point since 1998. Fortunately, thanks to a new marketing strategy, sales improved slightly at the end of the financial year, eventually reaching £1,400,000 in March.

This financial year, the number of sales also started off quite low but between April and September there was a steady increase. Sales peaked in September, reaching £1,600,000. The figures then fell slightly during October and November and remained constant through November and December. Then, in January, due to effective changes in design, there was a dramatic increase to £1,900,000. The number of sales has continued to rise steadily.
