Ford Motor Company is an American auto manufacturer and the fourth-largest

Michigan near Detroit. Henry Ford founded the company, which was incorporated in
1903. Ford is the third-ranked automaker in the U.S., after GM and Toyota.
The Model T
Fords first major success was the Model T, introduced in 1908. The Model T was the
first car to place the steering wheel on the left, which later became the standard for
American vehicles. Henry Ford created a network of local dealerships that made the
Model T almost omnipresent in most American cities. Ten years later, in 1918, 50% of all
cars in American were Model Ts. Sales of the Model T eventually began to decline
throughout the 1920s, as competition increased and Henry Ford refused to update the
vehicles features.

China Car Sales Rise
By Oliver August in Beijing
Edward Zong, Chinas Porsche salesman, is ready for the biggest boom in the car
business since Henry Ford. Only 1 percent of the 1.3 billion Chinese own a car, but sales
are 50 percent more than a year ago.
As a result, the country is now the biggest market for some car
manufacturers, and you can read about the end of the bicycle
age in Chinese newspapers.
In Beijing alone, about 4,000 new cars arrive every week and
600,000 new drivers will get licences this year. This is a rise of
40 percent. Sales of 3 million vehicles this year will make China
the fourth largest market in the world.
Some car makers need Chinese consumers. Volkswagen will sell
more cars in China than in Germany this year, and Porsche
hopes to double its sales to 60 cars next year.
When Mr Zong was young, children played ball games on
Beijings big roads. People didnt own private cars and only
government drivers, such as Mr Zongs father, went faster than bicycles.
These days Mr Zong waits in car traffic for an hour on his way to work every morning.
The millions of bicycles cause great problems for
other traffic. The government plans to destroy many
old areas and change single-lane roads into eight-
lane highways.
This year, Mr Zong purchased his first car, for
12000 a Jeep Cherokee He wanted a Porsche,
but with a price of more than 90,000, this is a
distant dream for him.

CONVERSATION PRACTICE
Work with a partner. Role-play the following situation. Check your pronunciation.

READING 1
A. BEFORE READING. Do you know the following words?

Match the words to their meanings. You can use a dictionary to help you.
1. Franchise ______ a. A shop or other place to buy things.
2. Franchisee ______ b. A number of shops owned by the same company.

B. Read the article about a fast-food chain in Japan. Mark each statement true for
false. Then justify the false statements.
Subway, the American sandwich franchise, has

14.000 outlets. It is Americas biggest fast food chain-
bigger than Mc Donalds. Subway Japan set up 195
franchise stores between 1992 and 2001. One
hundred and twelve failed. Why? Masahiro
Kobayashi of the Japan franchisees Association says this was because the American company did
not adapt to Japan. As an example he explains that the size of the Subway bread roll is too big for
Japanese women to eat comfortably. Many customers visited a Subway store once and did not
come back.
Another problem may be that Subways image is too healthy for Japan. To suits Japanese
tastes, hamburgers need a lot of mayonnaise, and the buns need a lot of extra sugar.
Some people blame the failures on the poor management. When Tetsuzo Ono became a
franchisee. He asked the company for advice. He said they told him, Remember to greet your
customers and keep the store clean. That was it. They never suggested anything else, Ono said.
According to Ono, Subway promised to run advertisements but this did not happen. He says
they failed to promote the brand. People who didnt know Subway sandwiches never saw any
commercials or heard from other people about the stores. Ono shut down his store. In just over
two years he lost over 35 million yen. He and his wife never had a day off. He now works as a taxi
driver.
Yoshimasa Kawabata, Marketing Manager of Subway Japan, does not agree that Subway has
bad management. He says, We are just a franchise of Subway in America, but we are still the
biggest sandwich chain in Japan.
From The Times, by Mark Robinson www.huadianswg.com/images/text/07.doc

True or False?
1 Mr. Onos store was not successful.

2 The company said to Mr. Ono, Thank customers when they leave the shop.
3 Mr. Ono has a new job.
4 Mc Donalds is the biggest fast- food chain in America.
5 Mr. Ono took a lot of holidays.
6 Subway has 14.000 outlets in Japan.
7 Subway ran a lot of advertisements.
8 A lot of Subway franchises failed because the Japanese dont like the fast food.
