  1. Read and translate the text. From a Family Business to a Public Company.

There is a family of four: farther (John), who is in travel business; mother (Mary), who worked in an accounting department of a large corporation before she got married; and their children - son (Fred), a student of the Law Department of the local University, and daughter (Julia), who is taking a secretarial course at the Adult Training Center.

John makes camp equipment - tents, chairs, tables and other things people on vacation may need. One day he has a brilliant idea: to make all camping furniture inflatable. When you are vacationing you can easily inflate (with a small pump) your tent, table, chairs, mattress, pillows and even a small watch dog.

John tells this bright idea to his wife and children. And they like it very much. They decide to organize a family business. Father is, of course, the head of this family business, mother wants to keep accounts, Fred is eager to give legal advice and Julia will do all paper work. Thus they form a family business whose name is Lighthome.

Problems.

  1. Suppose you start a family business. What functions can be given to your relatives if it is a small factory making plastic frames for spectacles?

  2. How will you share responsibilities if your business is a petrol (filling) station?
