Two friends want to start a business: one has 10 000 000 so‘m but no trade; the other is a carpenter but has no money. Which of the four types from the lesson suits each of them better, and why? What if they join together? Write 3 sentences.
Sample: production (making furniture) suits the carpenter, because skill and equipment matter there; commerce suits the friend with money, because it relies mostly on working funds. Together they could combine money and skill and start production.

Rate these imaginary ventures with points: “computer repair workshop” and “reselling phone accessories”. Four features: material resources, financial resources, risk, special knowledge. Add up and say which is more complex.
Sample ratings: workshop — 2+2+1+3=8; resale — 1+3+2+1=7; the workshop is more complex (especially its need for special knowledge). Other well-argued scores are acceptable.
