Model Answer 1:
Selling hot dogs on the streets is something unusual for a person like me. In 
fact, I am highly skilled in persuading people into something and if I am 
assigned to sell hot dogs in the streets, I think I would be more successful than 
the professional vendors. 
Singapore is the city where people around the world come to visit and most of 
them are the shoppers. They like to take their meals on the streets when they 
are shopping. So, selling street foods, especially hot dogs, is a great business 
with low investment. But everyone cannot play the role of a perfect street 
vendor. There are some specific arts and skills required for the task. Most of 
the sellers are not that much educated and often they are unable to deal with 
the foreign visitors. So, most of the street vendors, selling hot dogs, cannot 
shine in their business. But if an educated person like me is involved here, the 
business will shine greatly. 
Selling foods on the streets of Singapore is unusual for me. I am from a wealthy 
family and have recently completed my graduation. My dad is planning to take 
me in his export-import business. So, if I get involve into selling street foods 
like hot dogs, they will discourage me from the business. But as I can see, there 
are lots of options for me to shine on the business. Firstly, most of the hot dog 
sellers are unable to speak a standard form of English. They try to 
communicate with the clients by exchanging gestures which is inappropriate 
for the business growth. Besides, the majority of the street food shops do not 
have cleanliness which is a must to attract the tourists and visitors. Though 
some of the vendors have some sitting arrangements in small scales, they are 
unable to serve all the clients simultaneously which is a barrier for client 
satisfaction. Overall, the street vendors lack the knowledge about client 
satisfaction. If all the tasks could be done together, the chance for success is 
more than anything in this business. 
The street foods are sold by lower-middle class of people. They use carts to 
carry the store and open their shops besides some large streets or before any 
reputed shopping malls. They keep a standard distance with the main streets 
so that the stores do not block the roads. If they block roads and set their 
shops, they are to be accountable to the municipal authority. So, they are

highly aware of the issues. Selling foods on the streets have become a family 
business for some of the sellers. They prepare the foods at their home round 
the day and sell those at the night, or they prepare the foods at the night time 
and sell those at the day time. They cannot make a good profit from the 
business as they cannot grab customers in their stores. They are unaware of 
the approaches and they could have some business if some shoppers luckily 
visit their shops for foods. 
I am a business graduate and have theoretical knowledge about business. I can 
make some business models as well with the existing street food shops and if 
the models could be implemented in the right manner, undoubtedly the 
businesses will grow to a large extent. I would be good at selling the hot dogs 
on the streets and before the shopping malls as I will adopt some innovative 
measures for increasing my sale of foods. I will advertise for the foods I am 
selling and definitely, I will use English as most of the tourists are out of 
Singapore and are familiar with this international language. I will add the price 
and quality of the hot dogs. Some sitting arrangements will be made and I will 
underscore the issue of modernity. I will arrange for cleanliness of the store. 
Some soft drinks would also be arranged with the hot dogs so that the clients 
could remove their thirst with the foods.
