- Hi. I haven't seen you
for ages. How are you?
- I'm fine indeed. How are you
keeping?
- I'm excellent. I think to
start my own business. What do you think about it?
- It's a great idea I think.
What type of business are you going to run ?
- May be some kind of flower's
shop. You know how I'm fond of flowers.
- I see. It's interesting.
Well, first of all you need money to start your business, as you need a room
for making flowers bouquets and a lot of instruments and other things.
- Yeah, I think it'll be
perfect to get money from a bank. I've being chosen for a long time and stopped
on Alfa-Bank.
- I can't advice you any of
the bank, I'm not confident in this sphere. I hope Alfa-bank is a good one.
Just one question: what are you going to do if the bank doesn't lend you any
money?
- Oh, it'll be awful, but, of
course, it might be. So....I'll get some help from my family having borrowed
some money from them. I think they'll be very happy to help me.
- Yes, what about attracting
clients? We all know how difficult to find clients especially nowadays when
there are so many florist's shops and salons.
- I hope you'll help me with
this problem. I know about thousands of your friends. Besides, many of them are
boys who can present flowers to their girlfriends, aren't they?
- They are they are. Maybe for
the first step you should do some advertising to attract your future clients.
Or just as you said you can start to inform your friends about your business,
they'll help you. More than that with the help of the Internet we can post some
material. Do you agree?
- Oh, it's a great idea. Why
didn't I think about it myself? Thank you very much. I have a friend who is a
professional in creating a website. Exactly, I'll be succeed.
- It's great to have such
friends! But what about making flower compositions? Are you going to make them
by yourself or with the help of professionals?
- You know I spend my last
summer holidays in Moscow and thereat I took some lessons from florists. That's
why I'm going to create flowers' compositions myself.
- It's interesting. So you
will to spend money for professionals. And it's great. You could save these
money for something more important. I see that you ready to start your own
business and you have thought about every detail.
- Yes, I
have. I’ve being entertained this idea for a long time.
- But as for
me I’ve been thinking about living on my own. I’ve always dreamed about it, but
I don’t know with what to start.
- First of
all, you need a flat. And what about your flatmate? Or are you going to live
alone?
- I think
I’d like to live with somebody who would share the rent with me.
- Ok, if you
decide so, I have to ask you about your future flatmate. You know people are
different and, unfortunately, there are some untidy. Ugly, impolite, dishonest,
immoral, etc. And what do you think to do with this problem?
- Oh, I
haven’t thought about it. I’ll try to find someone who will be fit for me, for
example, from my friends.
- Good, I
hope you’ll find the best flatmate. But
there is another serious problem. It is connecting with the lap of money. Of
course, I don’t want it but you might run out of money.
- That’s
really a serious problem. I will better make a list of my expenses and I hope
this will prevent me from this problem. But in case it doesn’t work I’ll come
home. My parents always glad to see me.
- You are
absolutely right. Good luck.
- Thank you
for all your ideas and advice. See you.
- Bye.
