undefined  Describe a family member you want to work with in the future答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

There's a whole range of different family businesses really – like in any country. I am not totally sure which types are the most common, though… Well, I think maybe today a popular family business is buying and selling – something that has moved online a lot. Where people are engaged in selling products that they source from huge manufacturers, and make them available to everyday people either online or through stores and shops in their hometowns. This is something that is quite common. 

Family businesses are a lot more personal than working for a big company. And although there can be more stress and pressure on the one hand, on the other hand there can be a greater sense of reward, personal freedom and independence and pleasure. Also, a family business usually means that there are other family members always on hand to help and share the burdens of responsibilities as well. In addition, skills are passed from generation to generation so sometimes it's more comfortable to get involved in your family business than to strike out on your own and craft a career for yourself – it can be a less stressful option for some.

It's great to work with family members if you actually respect and get along well with them! I guess that’s the same for anyone you may work with really. But, people shouldn’t assume that working with family is a good thing, always. It’s not if you have tensions and don't see eye to eye. But, if you get along well with them, then the benefits are numerous and include mutual understanding, support, emotional understanding and the sharing of burdens and responsibilities beyond that which is possible with strangers or colleagues in a company. These are the key benefits of working with family.

It depends, sometimes it can be harder and sometimes easier. For example, if the company is a very competitive, cutting edge IT company, then it can be really hard to get a decent promotion unless you are at a certain level and have exceptional skills. Also, you might need to foster and maintain a good relationship with your superiors, which isn’t always an easy task if you are in a highly competitive environment. So, sometimes you can get ahead faster if you are in a smaller company. It all depends on the type of company, how popular it is, how successful it is and how skilled you are in your job and personal relationships.
