Describe a small business you know.: IELTS Speaking Cue Card

So talking about small businesses, I think so small businesses are an essential part of a country's economy. I think so that these businesses help the larger businesses to grow as they keep the money flowing in the country's economy. One of the examples can be the business of my dad. He deals in the ladies garments, those can be suits, gowns, Ferraras and many more things. He sells those suits through his shop which is in a market called Chawra Bazaar in my city. Mostly he does trading, what trading means here is that he buys his items from the Delhi market and sells them here. And personally my dad is a very hard working person and he is a very chill guy. And talking about the success, yes he is very successful but still rather than settling it up for it, he still is always in the search for newer opportunities. He always talks with new generation to expand his business like myself. I think so my dad is a perfect example of rags to riches. When he was a child, they were not very rich. My grandfather had a decent job but my dad was always in the thrive of earning more but ethically. I think so that my dad is a very very successful person because he is also a religious person. His small business is not a result of his hard working nature only but rather he believes it's by God's grace.

One small business that I recently came across is a crochet business that is owned by my childhood friend. I got to know about it when I was looking up for crochet decorators that are cute, tiny and affordable. Then, my friend's crochet business' advertisement popped up. I was initially surprised at my friend's confidence and courage to start a startup on her own. I went through her Instagram handle and I was taken aback by her sheer dedication and determination on making good products for her customers. It is a small business that is not known to many people yet, but I hope her business is going to be really successful.

Actually I only own, like we only have a small business related to agriculture, agriculture product. Last year we started with a project of essential oil and that basically we have one plant named geranium out of which we extract oil, essential oil. We have a distillation unit as well at our farm in our village. Last year we started it and it was not an ideal thing to do because we faced many problems. We didn't get a sufficient amount of rain in that particular season as well as the rates of the oil also were fluctuating. When we decided to start it, the rates were around 11,000 to 12,000 but eventually it dropped to 8,000 which made it very hard for us to maintain the cost and make some profit. We ended up having a loss last year. We hope that this upcoming year will be great for us as we proceed because we have got a lot of rain season last year, this year particularly. We are hoping for good and the rates are now stable as well. That's the good news we have from the international market as well because most of the oil which we produce or which is produced in India is exported outside to the pharmaceutical companies because it has medicinal as well as cosmetic use.

So, as the world is moving towards digitalization, many things have become online available for us with the help of Amazon and all. But there is also one section of clothing. So, many small businesses about clothing has also been, also getting boost nowadays like the new designs. There are many new designs you can see. Like basically, I know my friend who has been in this business. So, he takes raw material in the clothes, raw material, applies them as new designs and then sell it online. And it is a very beautiful business, means the earning is very well. And also, there is a, what can I say, there is a many new designs, new ideas and due to which, and you also have this Instagram page in which he also sells new ideas and create new reels and stories which help him to boost his clothing brand. And the sales are also increasing.

Over these years, I have heard different business ideas that people have tried, which has resulted in either success or failure. Me myself, not being fascinated about business and entrepreneurship, I have never thought about getting into a business or starting up a new company or no sort of such activities. But anyhow, during my course of masters, I have come across certain ideas and one of which was very successful. So while I was doing master's program in physics, we were required to design a project in electronics in such a way that it will be helpful for the society. So the project that we as a team decided was the incorporation of RC module in electronics for weighing excess food waste so that we can get a control of the food being wasted each year. And also a survey was taken initially to know the amount of food being wasted in hostels or colleges daily. And we were taking both a review and the project was being carried out. So initially the project was like a blessing in disguise for me because we faced a lot of struggles in between, but ultimately it turned out to be very good because it was awarded with the best research project for innovation of science. And ultimately, the reason it became successful was its practical application. The idea was elaborated with the help of an industry and it was trialed in certain hostels and colleges and these places exhibited good results where the incorporation of this module resulted in less wastage of food. So as a result, it was effective.

So, today I would like to talk about one small business which is very famous in my village is none other than but a lady who earns money through the designs. She is my best friend and she start their business before couple of months and she is very hard working girl and she always bring their customer through their design. So, she always interact with their customer very nicely so because of that she get lots of orders and from that numerous customers are there and due to that she can easily rejuvenate and after that she also like to spend their money on their family members and because of one small business she started before months now is a huge business now a days moreover I would also like to talk about her hard work and her potential to bring such business in the village life and in that in this time she get success is a very great thing to her and down in the dumps to say that so many people also like to bargaining on that prize.
