Question 1
W: Andrew, we need to meet about that insurance contract. How about next Tuesday
morning, at my office? M: Tuesday morning won't work for me; I will be in another meeting, but Tuesday
afternoon would be just fine. At your office.
Q: When and where does the woman suggest meeting with the man? Question 2
M: Well, I think it's time to wrap it up. Any questions before we break for lunch? W: I think we've covered everything. I'll brief my team this afternoon as we'd like to start
working as soon as possible. Q: What is the man proposing?
Question 3
M:Mary, I'm considering setting up a company doing e-commerce. Are you interested in investing in it?
W:Don't ask me. I'd be the last person in the world to entrust my money to you.
Q:What do we learn from the dialog?
Question 4
W:Jack, how is the operation of your newly-established company? Is everything going smoothly?
M:I'd rather not talk about it. I feel defeated. I'm not sure how long it can be sustained.
Q:What can we learn from the dialog?
Question 5
M:Have you found a location for your gift shop?
W:Since the rents for the brick-and-mortar shops are so expensive, I'll take my friend's advice to open an online shop. Then I won't worry about the rents. What's more, it's more convenient to promote my products via the Internet.
Q:What advantages of online shops does the woman mention in the dialog?
Sometimes markets surge for no apparent reason; masses of people suddenly want something, and the resulting demand can't be met immediately. For example, during the SARS epidemic, there was a high demand for facial masks in several countries—and many entrepreneurs capitalized on this business idea.
A similar effect is also created by larger social trends. There is much more of a demand for homecare services for the elderly than what is currently being supplied. And the trend for pets to be treated as family members continues, creating demand for all kinds of pet-related services that didn't exist even ten years ago.
Look at existing businesses and the products and services they offer, and then determine if there's a need for more of those products or services. If there is, develop business ideas to fit the market gap.
Do you have any ideas for starting a business now? Write your business ideas
down. Think about them for some time. Keep an open mind and continue to assess
everything you read and hear from a business point of view. You don't have to run with the first business idea you think of; you want to discover the idea that's best suited to your skills and desires. Dream, think, plan, and you'll be ready to transform that business idea into the business you've always wanted.
Some people are especially quick at finding business opportunities. Think back 30 years ago. Was there a huge demand for anti-virus software, Internet Service Providers, or desktop computers? No! The key to coming up with business ideas for a new product or service is to identify a market need that's not being met. The call for ever-increasing security, for instance, has led to an explosion of new security products and services, ranging from iris-recognition machines through home security services.
Look around and ask yourself, "How could this situation be improved?" Ask people about additional services that they'd like to see. Focus on a particular target market and brainstorm business ideas for services that a group would be interested in. For example, there are millions of aging gardeners across North America. What products or services could you create that would enable them to garden longer and more easily?
When you are considering a business opportunity, you should not limit yourself to the local market only. As a matter of fact, some business ideas aren't suited to local consumption but appeal greatly to a foreign market. My own little town is surrounded by acres of wild blueberries. For years the bushes produced wild berries that mainly fed bears and birds. My town has a thriving blueberry industry that doesn't leave room for a wild blueberry market. But one entrepreneur realized that there is a high demand for products such as these in Japan, and those same wild blueberries are now being harvested and shipped. Finding out about other cultures and investigating other market opportunities is an excellent way to find
business ideas.。
