(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.
