1. Do you prefer buying things in big companies or from small 
businesses?
I don’t really mind, as long as the product that I buy is of high quality, that’s 
enough for me, yeah sometimes I may compare the price of products, in big shopping 
malls, products are likely to be much pricier than the ones in small stores. So, when 
I am financially okay, especially at the beginning of a month when I get my salary, 
I go for big companies to do shopping.
2. Do you know many small businesses?
I do know some small businesses around my house, such as beauty salons, 
cafes, fast food centers, retail outlets. I think now people prefer to set up small 
businesses just because they are easier to establish and manage. Plus, as most small 
businesses tend to be competitive, considering the fact that we have a lot of small 
shops, they do their best to provide reasonable price and high -quality products.
