Model Answer 1:
Introduction:
Well, there are many successful businessmen, and I often read
the biographies and watch biopics of such icons.
Who this person is? and How do you know this person?
I recently read an article about a famous south Indian businessman,
Ramesh babu, and now he’s the one I admire the most. Actually, he had a very
humble start. He lost his parents at an early age and couldn’t go to school.
What kind of business this
person does?
For survival, he started giving haircuts to people at 2 rupees
only. From an early age, he was quite intelligent and witty, so after saving
money from this small venture, he purchased his first second-hand car and
started a car rental business.
Along with his new
business, he continued to give haircuts. Slowly and steadily, his business
grew, and today he is a billionaire.
He has hundreds of cars in his fleet, including expensive cars
like Maserati and Rolls-Royce, and it is hard to believe that he still gives a
haircut for two rupees at his salon, which shows how humble he is.
Although he lives life king-size, he also donates a lot of money
to help people in need. He has helped many people to set up their small
businesses to earn their livelihood.
Why do you admire this person?
I admire this person because he contributes greatly to society,
and he is a true legend. Now I regularly follow him on social media, especially
Twitter, where he shares his innovative ideas and motivate youngsters to have
their startups.
Conclusion:
I wish I, too become a successful businessman like Mr Ramesh
babu.

Conclusion:
Here some examples of follow up questions that you may asked
during your speaking part 3 by examiner related to cue card “describe a
businessman you admire”.
1. What do you think should be
the retirement age for men and women?
I think rather than based on genders, and the retirement age should be based on
professions. In professions where physical fitness is crucial, the retirement
age should be on the lower side, while the retirement age could be more in
office jobs. In general, I think 60-65 years is the ideal retirement age.
2. What qualities do
people need to run their own business?
I think the prime quality is financial management because ultimately, the
success of any business depends upon whether it is profitable or not. Besides
that, people need to have good leadership qualities, and they must be able to
delegate responsibilities effectively. A lot of people who get anxious about
delegating responsibilities are not able to grow.
3. What do you think are key
factors the contribute to the success of a business?
I think many factors determine whether a business would be successful or not,
and the importance of factors varies according to the type of business. For
example, a successful restaurant needs a good location, good quality service,
and tasty food more than anything else. In general, I would say if the business
is providing a product that has a demand and only the particular company can
provide it, it is going to be successful.
4. If you had the opportunity
to open your own business, what would it be and why?
I am not very good with money management, so I think it would fail at running a
business. However, if I had to start one, it would be a bakery. I love to bake,
so it would be following a passion rather than running a business for me. And I
have heard, if we are truly passionate about something, it is hard to fail.
