That the first sentence needs rewriting. And also in the second sentence one important element is missing. :cry:

"However, the world goes on, and technologies [STRIKE]improving[/STRIKE] improve more and more with each passing year. [STRIKE]more and more! [/STRIKE]And here you can not do without expanding range of products."

I have corrected the first sentence. I don't know what you're trying to say with the second sentence. Can you try to write it differently to explain what you mean?

I mean, it's necessary to upgrade and expand the range of products by adding new elements. It's about competition in the product market.

What did you mean by "And here" at the start of that sentence?

In what case? Do you mean that these things need to be done because technology improves every year?

Exactly. Because of competition between manufacturers, and also because of technological progress.

OK, I have shortened (simplified) your sentence. This is how I would write it based on what you have told us.

However, the world moves on and technologies improve more and more every year, so it's important to expand your range of products.

There is no need to write a new post just to say "Thank you". It makes us think there is new information or a follow-up question and we spend time opening the thread. Simply click on the "Thank" button at the bottom left-hand corner of any post you find helpful. It saves everybody's time.
