Dear Mr Austin,

I have just read your recent advertisement in The Times and I wish to correct your description of Japanese cars.

I am happy to tell you that Japanese cars are [1] _ _ _ _ _ _ than English cars in every way.

Firstly, they are [2] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ English cars. Your advertisement wrongly claimed that English cars were as [2] _ _ _ _ as Japanese cars.

Secondly, our cars are more [3] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ yours. They are [4] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ yours and use less petrol.

Finally, our cars are [5] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ yours, so our sales are much [6] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ yours. Also, our after-sales service is much [1] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ yours. Your

guarantee is not _ _ [7] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ as ours.

I hope your next advertisement will be more [8] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ your last one.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Eiji Fujita [ Sales Manager ]

Dear Mr Fujita,

What you say about Japanese cars is partly true, but they are not [1] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ English cars in every way.

Firstly, English cars are [9] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Japanese ones. Also, they are _ _ _ _ [10] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

Secondly, they give [11] _ _ _ _ trouble, so they do not need much after-sales service. Our customers have [12] _ _ _ _ _ problems _ _ _ _ yours.

Finally, English cars are just _ _ [5] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ yours. If you don't believe me, buy the new Power 2000 and see for yourself.

I enclose an order form and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

James Austin

[ Marketing Manager ]
