Part 1

Small business

Are there any famous businesses in the area you live in?

我的答案

Yes, there are quite a few well-known businesses around where I live, particularly in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, including Wuxi, Suzhou, and Yangzhou. The area has a strong light industrial base, with many factories producing textiles and paper, which have gained national recognition over the years. This industrial tradition has really shaped the local economy and employment landscape.

Do you prefer buying things from small or big companies?

我的答案

I think both have their own advantages. Large companies often provide more reliable products and well-established brands, which gives customers a sense of security, whereas small businesses can offer unique and creative items that you might not find elsewhere, often at a lower price, which makes them particularly appealing for people looking for novelty.

novelty noun 新颖性，新奇的事物

Have you ever worked in small businesses?

我的答案

Most of my work experience has been in relatively large companies, but I’ve also had some exposure to smaller businesses. For instance, during an internship at a trading company with around 20 employees, I gained valuable insights into how small teams operate.

之前的版本

Most of my work experience has been in relatively large companies, and the smallest one I’ve worked for so far has about 130 employees. That said, during an internship, I also spent some time at a trading company with around 20 staff, which gave me valuable insights into how small businesses operate, especially in terms of flexibility and close-knit team dynamics.

Have you ever thought about starting your own business?

我的答案

Yes, I’ve always considered starting my own business, because I feel that if it succeeds, it could potentially generate income much faster than working for someone else. Moreover, running your own company allows you to explore your own ideas and be in full control of the business direction, which is extremely motivating for me.
