Question

    When I was little,my mother began selling food at Camden Market. She couldn't leave me at home on my own,so I had to go to the market with her.

      36 I just sat there. When I got older,I gave my mum a hand,and I really enjoyed it.

    Then,one year,my uncle gave me a,book for Christmas. 37 I was fourteen,and I didn't have to go to the market anymore. I spent my free time making candles of all different shapes and sizes.

     One day,my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. 38 They were sold out in twenty minutes!The next week,my mum gave me some money to buy wax (蠟) to make more candles. Again,they sold out really quickly.

     Six months later,we decided to stop doing the food. 39 Luckily,some of my school friends started to help us. I paid them one pound for every eandle,and we used to sell them for four or five times that.

      When I left school,my uncle lent us some money and I opened my first shop. 40 In the first store,we only sold candles,but now we sell everything from designer furniture to silver jewellery.

   A. Since then,T ve never looked back.

   B. I often talk about how the business began.

   C. To begin with,I didn't have to do anything.

   D. It was all about making candles and I loved it.

   E. With the opening of this new store,I now have 25 stores.

   F. My mum and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week.

   G. I decided to take some candles with me and see if!could sell them.
