(5)第五小题
our guest is Molly Sundas, a university student
a successful young entrepreneur
(6)第六小题
Tell us about your business.
I sell specialty clothes through a website mainly for women, who have trouble finding suitable clothes in main street shops. Because of their height or weight. But I do some man's clothes too.
How did you get started in this business at such a young age? Are you studying fashion design?
Actually, I majored in finance, but I've always loved clothes. And I started making my own at 14.
Did you have any sort of training in design or sewing or was it a natural ability?
I'd have to say no to both, no one taught me to make clothes.
And most of the things I made at first were disasters.
(7)第七小题
Why did you persevere? I think most people would give up if they kept failing.
Especially at that age.
I kept on out of necessity as you can see I'm very tall.
I couldn't find clothes that fit me in ordinary shops.
(8)第八小题
So what are your plans for the future？
Do you intend to open a physical store?
No, I'll keep things online to costs down, but I will add more clothes for children both girls and boys, and possibly even for infants, and I hope to add to my range of designs for men.
