Band 7 Example
Question: Can you provide some examples of family businesses in your country?
Idea 1
Traditional Restaurants and Food Stalls
Model Answer
A common example of a family business in my country is traditional restaurants and food stalls. Many of these places have been run by the same family for generations, with recipes passed down from grandparents to parents and then to children. You can often see the whole family working together, especially in small bakeries or cafes in smaller towns. These businesses are famous for their special flavors and have many loyal customers who come back again and again.
Idea 2
Retail Shops and Convenience Stores
Model Answer
Another example is retail shops and convenience stores. Many small grocery stores or clothing shops are managed by families. Usually, everyone in the family helps out, whether it’s stocking shelves, working the cash register, or helping customers. These shops are often well-known in their neighborhoods, and people like to shop there because of the friendly service.
Idea 3
Agricultural and Farming Businesses
Model Answer
Family-run farms are also very common here. Many families work together to grow rice, vegetables, or fruit, especially in the countryside. During busy times like planting or harvesting, everyone helps out. Some families also raise animals like chickens or pigs. These businesses are really important for providing food to local markets and supporting the rural economy.
