Paragraph-1 を日本語にしなさい。

あなたの会社がスポーツシューズを50~60年作ってきたとしよう。そのシューズは（確かに）よい製品だ。

然しながら、当該事業では競合他社が名声と収益においてあなたの会社を抜き去ってしまった。競合他社のロゴがついた製品は（今や）ステータスシンボルだ。（一方で）あなたの会社のロゴは1980年代のバスケットボール選手を思い起こさせるような（廃れた）ものだ。  

<=Michael Jordan

このような（悲惨な）状況を好転させるには、あなたの会社の製品の古臭いイメージを刷新して、それを消費者に認知してもらうことが必要だ。（それは）消費者があなたの会社の製品を（従来の走るための）運動靴を越えた、美しさや豊かさ、更には世界平和といったより壮大なイメージを抱かせるようなものでなければならない。換言すれば、あなたの会社は（新しい）ブランドを築き上げなければならないのだ。

[TS] Food trucks are a popular trend where I live. Today, many restaurants in Houston are selling their food on the street. They usually park their trucks in a big park or parking lot, and they cook the food in the trucks.   [SS-1] They are popular because people have many choices. For example, you can try Vietnamese noodles, American hamburgers, or Mexican tacos all in one place.  [SS-2] Also, eating at food trucks is convenient. You order at the window, and in a few minutes, your delicious food is ready. You can enjoy it outside or bring it home.  [SS-3] Finally, they’re cheaper than restaurants because you do not have to pay a tip.  [CS] I love food trucks, and I’m excited that they are becoming popular.
