Model Answer 1:
Living in Singapore is really expensive as this is one of the commercial cities
and a small country with a huge population. The residential areas are located
in the corners of the city. I live near the Orchard
Street and there is a large
store just right beside of my place.
The store sells almost all sorts of necessary items required for daily life. The
shop is located at one of the prime spots on the Street. It is located just right
beside my apartment building. The shop looks like a large ‘L’ and has a parking
space before it for the customers. Though this is not a chain shop, it looks like
one of them for its special decorations and products. Almost all brands are
available here and the numbers of consumers are increasing gradually as the
crews and assistants provide a very good and cordial service to them. Besides,
the prices of the sold products are also reasonable
and the refund policy is
acceptable as well for all the customers. The shop owner is known to me and
often I go to visit the shop and get the necessary things for me and my family.
The shop sells a good number of items which are necessary for the daily life
including groceries to clothing. The shop is famous as it sells all the types of
groceries and since there are no local markets in this Street for food crops, the
people mostly get in the shop for buying the food crops and grains. Often they
are seen carrying live fishes from the store. Besides, it also sells all sorts of
fresh meats,
food crops and grains, powder and liquid milk, juices, fruits and
vegetables, prepared foods, soaps, dairy products, pen, paper, scissors,
adhesives, electronic equipment, mobile phone accessories,
electronic gadgets
and gears, toys for kids, clothing for men and women, perfumes of different
brands, chocolates, sunglasses, wallets, wrist watches,
leather goods, DVDs,
books and novels, and much more.
I am a businessman in Singapore and deal with a clothing shop in a shopping
mall. So, I do not have much time to visit the shop frequently. But I go there
when I need something and in that case, I carry a list of my required things.
Besides, when my family needs something, my wife makes a list for those and
asks me to bring the enlisted things when I return home.
There is a small
restaurant on the above of the shop and the shoppers could take rest and have
some snacks there. Sometimes during the holidays or whenever I could get
some leisure hours, I go to visit the shop and have some chats on the roof with
the shop owners. In fact, the shop owner is a friend of mine and had struggled
much in his life. For his strict determination and with the help of a local
investing bank, he started the business. Now he is
one of the most successful
businessmen in the locality and he is planning to start a chain shop. Now like
him, I am also planning to open a small-scale store like that.
I go to the shop mostly for meeting the daily shopping needs of my family. To
cook food, we need to shop the ingredient. Since there are no local markets for
the food crops, dairy products and fish or meat, I have to visit the shop at a
regular interval. Almost all of the days, I have
to go there and in some cases,
my wife makes a phone call to me so that I should bring any specific product or
element necessary for the family. Sometimes, I visit the shop for having some
clothing for my family members. The sweetmeats sold at the shop are of the
highest grade and they really are delicious. Besides, the coffee on the roof top
restaurant also attracts me most. Being a small businessman in Singapore, I
actually have not much leisure hours to spend.
I have to keep my shop open
round the week. When the staffs are on holidays, I have to play their roles as
well. Considering all of my business, it appears that having a cup of coffee on
the rooftop of the shop is the best leisure activity. So, if whenever I could
manage time, I try to pay a visit there.
