The market share of Burger Town has declined twenty percent during the last three years.             ແປ​ວ່າຮຸ້ນ​ສ່ວນ​ຮ້ານ​ອາຫານ​ ກຳລັງ​ຕົກ​ລາຄາ​ເຖິງ 20 ​ເປີ​ເຊັນ​ໃນ​ໄລຍະ 3 ປີຜ່ານມາ.

Thomas:    According to these figures, the market share of Burger Town has declined twenty percent during the last three years.

 

Sophia:      Yes, that has me really worried.

 

                  It’s clear that competition is increasing.

 

                  I’m especially concerned about competition from other types of fast food restaurants.

 

Thomas:    Like pizza and Mexican food?

 

Sophia:      Exactly.  Hamburgers aren’t as popular as they used to be.

 

Thomas:    Yes, that’s definitely a concern.

 

Sophia:      Burger Town does have a very high quality product.

 

                  I’m just not sure that this is the right time to invest in a fast food company. 

 

Thomas:    Well, we’re scheduled to meet with their management next week.

 

Sophia:      That’s good. 

 

                  We should get to know more about their management team before we begin negotiations.

 

Thomas:    Perhaps I can arrange to have lunch or dinner with someone from their team before the meeting.
