¡Mi propio negocio!
Yo me llamo Esteban y tengo 35 años. Soy dueño de mi propio negocio. Hace tres años, mi jefe me despidió de mi trabajo como fotógrafo para una revista. Realmente, yo estaba pensando en dejar el trabajo porque no me gustaba mi jefe, pero no sabía qué hacer para ganar dinero. Un amigo me dio una sugerencia. «Esteban» —me dijo— «¿Por qué no abres tu propio negocio? Tú tienes mucho talento como fotógrafo, y mucha gente te conoce». Yo decidí entonces que ya no quería trabajar para otra gente —ya quería ser mi propio jefe.
Primero, fui al banco para pedir un préstamo (loan). Después, alquilé (rented) un pequeño estudio en el centro antiguo de Santiago. Busqué un secretario para ayudarme con las finanzas en la oficina. Ahora, hace tres años que trabajo en mi propia compañía de fotografía, Fotos sin límites. Tengo muchos clientes que siempre me contactan por teléfono o correo electrónico. Ellos saben que yo les doy muy buen servicio. Aparte de mi secretario, Jaime, que empezó conmigo al principio, también tengo ahora un asistente de tiempo parcial que me ayuda a imprimir las fotos.
Nunca me sentí tan contento con mi vida profesional. Pero es cierto que esta vida no es para todos. Si quieres ser tu propio jefe, es necesario que seas muy disciplinado. También, es importante que seas organizado con el dinero y pagues las cuentas a tiempo. Al principio, fue bastante difícil. Pero si no estás contento en tu trabajo ahora y quieres empezar tu propia empresa, te recomiendo que lo hagas. Si yo puedo hacerlo, ¡tú también puedes!
What will be an ideal response?
Un secretario y un asistente.

I can accept that many people take fashion seriously, but I have never been a fashion buff. To me, dressing in style is pointless. I can, however, accept that many people love to dress in style, but there is one particular fashion "statement" that totally baffles1 me. I mean, specifically, wearing a fashionable watch. To me, it is beyond comprehension that multitudes pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for their watches. My watch cost me $13 .00 . It keeps accurate time, and it has a stopwatch, an alarm, and when I want it, a very good light for telling the time in the dark. My watch may not be "stylish," but I suppose you could say it's part of how I "dress in style." Topic: a. fashion statements b. dressing in style c. fashionable watches d. watches
