1. BROAD OVERVIEW
Dear Learner
This manual will assist you in improving your English language skills as well as investigating
entrepreneurial skills. By listening, speaking, reading and writing, you will discover important
aspects about starting a business and maybe you could become an entrepreneur one day!
Your interaction with your classmates and people in your community will enhance your own
skills. You will be given feedback with the assessment tasks. On completion of all the tasks,
you should have a very good idea of what you need to start a business and your use of the
English language would also have improved.

ASSESSMENT STANDARDS
If the answer to any of these questions is YES, you are at the right place at the
right time.
In this task you are going to learn about the factors you must consider before starting you
own business. To do this you will be reading texts, identifying key concepts using
“annolighting” and evaluate the concepts using Key Concept Synthesis. You will also be
asked to discuss your findings in a group and place the factors in sequence of importance
Study the comic and then try to answer the following questions:
1. Work individually and “Skim” read the text given to you by your teacher.
It may therefore surprise you that in some respects, there are things we
ourselves might learn from looking at the way in which people in a
country like (in our example) Malawi set themselves up in business. For
these people generating an income can prove to be literally the difference
between life and death. And as this model shows, almost all the skills
needed to start a successful small business can be extrapolated from the
experience of a small group of women in Malawi.
People need food, and people need clothes, and to a limited extent
people need things like fishing lines and firewood.
The same principles, although more complex and extensive (health and
safety, equal rights, to name just two examples) apply in the developed
world.
The inescapable and harsh financial realities of the Third World create a
level of accountability for small business start ups that is far less forgiving
than typically found in the modern corporate world. In relative terms we
have it very easy indeed.

Text 2 Factors to consider when starting a business
Text Annotations
Most people who want to open their own shop have a specific business
idea. Others have only a general idea or no idea at all. Business experts
often suggest choosing something that you love.
For example, if you love cooking, you may consider starting a catering
business, if you love children you may want to try your hand at a day care
centre or a toy shop.
It is important to choose a business idea that you know you will enjoy
developing. You don't want to spend millions of Rands and work day and
night setting up a business that you don't like.
But liking it should not be your only reason for selecting a particular
venture - there are several other factors to consider.
Never assume that just because you have a unique idea you will
automatically succeed. Give thought to the following factors before you
take the plunge:
No matter what type of business you choose, you are bound to face
competition, and some businesses are more competitive than others. So
how many competitors will your business be forced to contend with?
Conducting market research will identify your competitors, define their
strengths and weaknesses and suggest the measures you should take to
ensure that your business stays afloat.
What seems like a good idea on paper may not be a good idea in
practice. Some business ideas may be too costly to pursue.
When deciding on a particular business idea, consider how much money
you will need to get started, and what other resources will be required to
make your idea 'take off'.
Will you need a special research team to gather information about the
product/service? Will you have to extensively train your staff to operate
special machinery or equipment?
Your product / service should offer customers something they cannot get
anywhere else, but you need to develop an original idea or invention. You
can improve on somebody else's product /service.
How many hair salons, phone shops and video shops are in your area?
Probably too many to count. When selecting your business idea, consider
market saturation. You may have a great idea, but there may not be
enough room in the industry for you because 10 000 other people are
already providing a similar product/service.
Adapted from:
The Financial Gazette; Southern African Leasing Business and Financial
Newspaper 1/8/2004
Text Annotations
Rule number one: it's not enough to simply have a good idea to start a
business. Successful entrepreneurs must first look at the market, plan
realistically, and mobilize their troops to achieve their objectives.
That means you should research and gather as much information as you
can to define your potential market, such as your competitors' strengths
and weaknesses and the development time required to get your product
off the ground. Keep in mind that during this time,
you will not be making any sales.
If you don't have the resources to set up a board of directors, you can
also opt for a strategy committee and invite an expert to act as a
sounding board for your business decisions. In advanced technology,
there are more and more incubators that offer a wide range of assistance
for increasing your chances of success.
In the end, the true test is the market. To reach customers quickly and
efficiently, you should think about hiring marketing specialists at the
outset. Marketing, while often neglected, is critical to the success of any
business.
New businesses are often financed by the savings of their founders (as
well as the savings of families and friends). In many cases, it may be
necessary to look for outside capital.
Be sure you do your homework and know what investors expect from
you. One businessman once said, "If you knock on a door prematurely,
you run the risk of it being closed to you later, particularly at the time
when you are really ready to enter it."
Most businesses take time to get established, which means there will be
periods when business is slower. The key is to make good use of that
down time by networking, for example by:
There are many rules, some very technical, which are absolute
requirements for your business’ continued existence. For instance, you
must decide what legal form your business will take, design an
accounting system, and comply with regulations covering labour
practices, occupational health and safety, and training.
In business and industry, you can start a business in your own name. A
group can form a registered partnership or an public company with a
different set of rules, privileges and responsibilities. If you have several
partners, you should draw up a partners’ agreement to define a mutual
code of conduct. Or you could decide to form a cooperative or not-for-
profit organization.
Be sure that your business plan incorporates all of the above. Your plan
must be concise, specific, and describe your business project accurately.
Write it yourself, as it is your vision. And expect to do several rewrites
before you achieve your final plan.
Don't be afraid to get assistance if you need it. Show it to experts, such
as accountants and lawyers or to other experienced entrepreneurs. Keep
in mind that a business plan is more than an accounting document; it
must sell your idea to a potential financial institution
3 Individually use the annotations you already made in Activity 1.1, and complete
worksheet 1.2:
It is a strategy we can use to provide a framework for reading by creating a focus on the key
concepts.
Here are some elements that will help you in the identification of key concepts:
• Examining the text structure for any elements that the writer may have used to indicate
major divisions in the subject matter (e.g. titles, subtitles, bold headings, and supportive
graphics or visuals)
• Decide which sentence in a paragraph is the topic sentence; as texts get more
sophisticated, you need to recognize that frequently it may not be the first sentence in
the paragraph.
• Learning to identify statements that “forecast” main ideas or key concepts that will
come at some point later on in the reading.
• Recognizing that transitions may sometimes help to identify a main idea or a possible
shift in the writer’s thinking. (e.g. when compared to, or another possibility is, or in
contrast, etc.)
• Examining the summary statements in the paragraphs and/or the conclusions that
summarize each section of the reading may help to verify and condense the main ideas or
key concepts.

How do I politely, give my opinion, agree and disagree?”
Having all members of a group participate actively is not enough to ensure a successful discussion.
Examples of such entrepreneurs are found in all walks of life, from children
washing cars for pocket money to men and women making a living out of selling
goods and providing a service on a street corner.

which questions to answer.)

1. OVERVIEW
The manual covers Learning Outcomes for English First Additional Language viz. 3,4
and 6 from the RNCS. The content outcomes are LO 4 from EMS, from the RNCS.
The concept or theme used is African Inspiration, but the learning outcomes used may
be applicable to any other concept or theme. The focus is on entrepreneurship and how
a business can be started. Learners will be exposed to texts dealing with
entrepreneurship, oral and listening experiences as well as writing about their
experiences.
The objectives in this unit have been synergized with the Learning Outcomes of the
RNCS viz. Learning Outcomes and Assessment Standards for Grade 8 for English FAL
and EMS.
This unit will assist the learners in investigating entrepreneurial skills and improving their
English language skills. Both language skills and content knowledge will improve. They
will interact with their classmates and people in their community which should enhance
and improve their own skills. Both teacher and fellow-learners will give feedback on the
assessment tasks. On successful completion of all tasks, the learners would have very
good insight into what is needed to start a business and their use of the English
language would also have improved. This unit will also provide ideas about possible
entrepreneurial opportunities which learners might want to pursue.
2. RATIONALE
Underpinning the development of this manual are the Critical Outcomes which form the
basis of the RNCS. The following Critical Outcomes are to be used in conjunction with
this unit and learners should ideally be made aware of them.
and the Developmental Outcomes which envisage learners who are able to:
This manual was designed as a knowledge and skills development unit that will assist
learners in improving language skills and content knowledge. English language learning
is integrated with EMS content in a relevant context. These skills and knowledge can be
transferred to other learning areas in the RNCS.
3. UNIT OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT STANDARDS
The outcomes below drive the unit design. They are derived from the Learning
Outcomes of the Revised National Curriculum Statement (GET) Grade 8; First
Additional Language and Economic and Management Sciences. The assessment
will be based on each learner’s performance on the specific tasks described and
Assessment Standards for the learning outcomes.

Task Chain 1
READING
Introduction:
The reading task chain activities were developed to help learners to develop their
reading abilities.
The reading activities focus on vocabulary development and enrichment and
work on revising “annolighting” and introducing Key Concept Analysis which
will help learners to deal with authentic texts. The task chain uses task based
exercises as much as possible to keep learners engaged in the learning process.
The learners will engage with texts giving information regarding the factors that
need to be/are considered when starting a business.
Task Chain 2
The language activities are developed to help learners to develop the ability to
set different types of questions to obtain information.
The reasoning activities focus on setting of “WH”-questions while engaging in
research on small, local business entrepreneurs, their business ideas, the
management of their businesses as well as the factors to be considered when
starting businesses.
Task Chain 3
WRITING
The writing task chain provides the learners with the opportunity to improve their
writing skills. The ability to write in reported speech is revised and the ability to
write expository essays are developed, using the information gained from the
results of the interviews, conducted in Task 2.

ANNEXURE 1.1
"Annolighting" A Text
Targeted Reading Skills:
Use this Strategy: • Formulate questions in response to text
• Analyze and interpret elements of poetry or
Before Reading prose
During Reading • Draw conclusions and make inferences
After Reading based on explicit (literal) and implicit
(figurative) meaning
What is it?
We have all had the experience of suggesting that students highlight the text that they are
reading, only to watch them indiscriminately highlight nearly every word on the page. It is clear
that learning how to highlight a text as a part of a reading strategy requires some instruction,
including some modeling and guided practice. If done well, highlighting can become a very
effective reading tool; if done poorly, it is most likely a waste of a student’s time, energy and
ink. "Annolighting" a text combines effective highlighting with marginal annotations that help to
explain the highlighted words and phrases.
The following lists provide a simple set of goals and guidelines that students could use to
increase the effectiveness of their annolighting and, as a result, improve their comprehension
and understanding of a text.
Purposes/Goals of Annolighting
1. Choose a focus or framework for your highlighting. Ask yourself: What is the purpose or
intended goal of this particular reading? (e.g. Main ideas only? Supportive details for an
interpretive claim you are making? Definitions and examples of key vocabulary? Culling
examples of the writer’s craft? etc.) After you determine the focus, highlight only the
targeted information.
2. If possible, do not highlight on a first reading of a text. Rather, divide a page into
manageable chunks and read a section once. Then skim the section again and highlight on
the second reading. If you try to highlight on the first reading, you may not have a clear
sense of the key ideas/concepts or important/relevant details.
4. You may want to use multiple colors in your highlighting process. For instance, choose one
color for main ideas and another color for supportive detail that may help in sorting the
information when you study the material or collect information for a paper, exhibition or
project. You may want to use a color to indicate facts or concepts on which you would like
clarification or pose as questions.
Below is an excerpt of a reading titled, Shakespeare’s Hamlet and the Nature of Tragedy.
Students were asked to identify the basic elements of tragedy in regard to the hero or
protagonist. Note the "telegraphic approach" to the highlighting; when the highlights are
read, they should make sense to the reader. Notes on the right side represent possible
summary annotations.
ANNEXURE 1.2
TASK 1 ACTIVITY 1.2
When students are given “dense” reading material, they often become frustrated and remark, “I
read it, but I don’t get it!” or “I didn’t know what was important and what wasn’t.” For many young
readers, this frustration builds and they approach difficult texts feeling defeated before they even
begin. One strategy we can use is to provide a framework for the reading by creating a focus on
the key concepts. The process involves identifying the key concepts as they read, putting those
concepts in their own words and explaining why the concept is important and/or making
connections to other concepts.
Using this strategy requires helping students to use a number of textual clues that will help them
determine the key concepts in a reading. Some elements that will aid students in the identification
of key concepts are:
• Examining the text structure for any elements that the writer/publisher may have used to
indicate major divisions in the subject matter (e.g. titles, subtitles, bold headings, and
supportive graphics or visuals)
• Determining which sentence in a paragraph is the topic sentence; as texts get more
sophisticated, students need to recognize that frequently it may not be the first sentence in
the paragraph.
• Learning to identify statements that “forecast” main ideas or key concepts that will come at
some point later on in the reading.
• Recognizing that transitions may sometimes help to identify a main idea or a possible shift
in the writer’s thinking. (e.g. when compared to, or another possibility is, or in contrast,
etc.)
• Examining the summary statements in the paragraphs and/or the conclusions that
summarize each section of the reading may help to verify and condense the main ideas or
key concepts.
Providing models and guided practice where students have opportunities to identify and explain
the above elements is crucial. Once students can understand and recognize these elements,
provide them with sections of the current text they are reading and have them practice
independently as preparation for the next class. As students become more proficient in
recognizing these elements as they read, a powerful addition is to have them identify these
elements in their own writing.
Directions: Use the following graphic organizer to identify the five most important concepts (in
the form of single words or phrases) from the reading. Think about identifying the five most
import concepts this way: If you had to explain the reading to someone who had not read the
text, what are the five most important concepts you would want them to understand? Use a
highlighter and marginal notes to identify import concepts as you read, and then complete the
graphic organizer once you have completed the reading.
Five Key Concepts Put the Concept in Your Explain Why the
(with page #s) Own Words Concept is Important &
Make Connections to
Other Concepts

3.
4.
5.
• If this is a new strategy for your students, it is helpful to make copies of a section of the text
so that they can highlight and annotate; this process alone will encourage a close reading
of the text even before they complete the graphic organizer.
• When first using this strategy with your students, you may want to have them identify the
various elements that helped them to zero in on the main ideas or key concepts. This
could be noted in the Key Concept column under the concept or in the margins of the
annotated text.
• For students that are more visual and/or artistic, they may want to use a mind map to
capture the key concepts and their connections.
• Once students have completed the graphic organizer, they can share their ideas with other
students to discuss how/why they identified the key concepts they selected.

How To Start A Small Business – Inspirational Lessons And Ideas From The Third
World
Starting a small business is for many an irresistible challenge. Creating and running your
own business can be immensely rewarding in various ways: personal fulfillment, self-
discovery, financial independence, a way to make your mark in life, and also to make a
positive contribution to your local community or chosen business area. While these
lessons, tips and guidance give simple help on how to start up a small business in the
third world, the principles and techniques apply to starting a small business anywhere in
the world.
It may therefore surprise you that in some respects, there are things we ourselves might
learn from looking at the way in which people in a country like (in our example) Malawi set
themselves up in business. For these people generating an income can prove to be
literally the difference between life and death. And as this model shows, almost all the
skills needed to start a successful small business can be extrapolated from the
experience of a small group of women in Malawi.
Many businesses start ups fail because of inadequate market research. Overcrowded Market research
sectors, insufficient customer awareness, wrong location - the list of potential pitfalls is Overcrowded sectors
almost endless. In Malawi however the situation is very simple. Insufficient customer awareness Wrong
location
People need food, and people need clothes, and to a limited extent people need things
like fishing lines and firewood.
Agnes Mwaremware lives in a village located 5 km down a deeply rutted dirt track. To get
to the main road villagers had to walk this distance and then travel to the nearest trading
centre crammed into the back of a heavily overcrowded pick up truck. One or two of her
neighbours had invested in the ultimate convenience, an exceedingly elderly bicycle, but
found themselves at a loss when the chain broke, or the brakes failed, or (as often as not)
the whole thing fell apart. Agnes spotted her niche and now runs a stall supplying bicycle
spares to her community. This is not the sort of market research that would move
mountains, but it is nevertheless based on sound analysis and common sense. It is not Market research
surprising therefore that her business is doing well.
How often do would-be entrepreneurs come up with a terrific idea only to have it fail Terrific idea
because they cannot negotiate change of use for a premises, permission for alterations or
construction, or they fail to observe the necessary rules of environmental health and local Observe the necessary rules of
planning requirements? In Malawi, no-one would dream of setting up a business before environmental health and local planning
first consulting the local chief or village head man. True, this may be a matter of common
courtesy rather than a legal requirement, but understanding the permissions that a
business needs to trade is an important piece of the start up framework.
The same principles, although more complex and extensive (health and safety, equal
rights, to name just two examples) apply in the developed world.
The choice of where to trade in Malawi is again governed by simple rules. It has to be
somewhere that people can get to. It has to be somewhere that needs the product or
service. And (importantly) it has to be somewhere from which the trader can easily obtain Somewhere that needs the product or
his or her raw materials or commodities. Often the simplest choice turns out to be best. service
Adija Msw for example borrowed R75 and started selling tomatoes on a makeshift table
outside her mud hut. Her home is several kilometers from the nearest trading centre and
in the middle of a well populated village settlement. She knew that she would have a
ready market because her villagers often complained about having to walk into town to
buy their supplies. Adija is Malawi's answer to the corner shop and the profits from her
business support a family of 12 dependents. She now sells fish and firewood as well.
In the age of e-commerce and sophisticated distribution models, identifying a location and Identifying a location and route to market
route to market is just as crucial for business start-ups in the developed world.
The inescapable and harsh financial realities of the Third World create a level of
accountability for small business start ups that is far less forgiving than typically found in
the modern corporate world. In relative terms we have it very easy indeed.
Getting a good second opinion when setting expectations, and monitoring performance, is
helpful for everyone in business, everywhere. No-one in business knows all there is to
know about themselves - we need the advice and opinions of others to help us fill in the
gaps and to understand the full picture.
It also means that if one member of a group gets into trouble, the others are both willing
and prepared to help her out. This is particularly important where, for example, one
member of a group becomes ill. Although in the case where a group member dies before
her loan is repaid the loan is written off, where someone is suffering from an illness from
which she is likely to recover other members of the group take personal responsibility for
carrying her through the period of her ill-health
But what type of business should you start, most prospective entrepreneurs visiting my
office keep asking me? Most people who want to open their own shop have a specific
business idea. Others have only a general idea or no idea at all. Business experts often
suggest choosing something that you love. Specific business idea
For example, if you love cooking, you may consider starting a catering business, if you
love children you may want to try your hand at a day care centre or a toy shop.
It is important to choose a business idea that you know you will enjoy developing. You
don't want to spend millions of Rands and work day and night setting up a business that
you don't like.
But liking it should not be your only reason for selecting a particular venture - there are
several other factors to consider. Never assume that just because you have a unique idea
you will automatically succeed. Give thought to the following factors before you take the
plunge:
No matter what type of business you choose, you are bound to face competition, and
some businesses are more competitive than others. So how many competitors will your
business be forced to contend with? Conducting market research will identify your
competitors, define their strengths and weaknesses and suggest the measures you
Competition
should take to ensure that your business stays afloat.
Market research
What seems like a good idea on paper may not be a good idea in practice. Some
business ideas may be too costly to pursue.
When deciding on a particular business idea, consider how much money you will need to
get started, and what other resources will be required to make your idea 'take off'.
Will you need a special research team to gather information about the product/service? How much money
Will you have to extensively train your staff to operate special machinery or equipment? Other resources
Your product / service should offer customers something they cannot get anywhere else,
but you need to develop an original idea or invention. You can improve on somebody
else's product /service. Product / service
How many hair salons, phone shops and video shops are in your area? Probably too
many to count. When selecting your business idea, consider market saturation. You may
have a great idea, but there may not be enough room in the
industry for you because 10 000 other people are already providing a similar
product/service.
In the mid 1990s, almost every Zimbabwean wanted to purchase their own commuter
omnibus, a good example of a market-saturated service at that time, until the banks
stopped financing that sector.
Conducting extensive market research will provide you with a wealth of information about
possible business opportunities. If money is not a problem, you can hire a market
research consultant to locate potential business ideas for you. But if you are like most
prospective entrepreneurs, your budget will not
Conducting extensive market research
allow such a luxury. This means you will have to conduct the research yourself

Wh - Questions
Wh- Questions
Wh- Questions allow a speaker to find out more information about topics. They are as follows:
When? Time
Where? Place
Who? Person
Why? Reason
How? Manner
What? Object/Idea/Action
Whose? Possession
For the predicate pattern, wh- question formation depends on whether there is an “auxiliary” verb
in the original sentence. Auxiliary or “helping” verbs are verbs that precede main verbs. Auxiliary
verbs are italicized in the following sentences.
I can do it.
They are leaving.
I have eaten my lunch.
I should have finished my homework.
To make a question using the predicate pattern, first form a yes/no question by inverting the
subject and (first) auxiliary verb. Then, add the appropriate wh- word to the beginning of the
sentence.
(You will leave some time.) … will you leave
When will you leave?
(He is doing something.) … is he doing
What is he doing?
(They have been somewhere.) … have they been
Where have they been?
If there is no auxiliary and the verb is “be,” invert the subject and verb, then add the appropriate
wh- word to the beginning of the sentence.
(He is someone.) … is he
Who is he?
(The meeting was some time) … was the meeting
When was the meeting?
If there is no auxiliary and the verb is not “be,” add do to the beginning of the sentence. Then add
the appropriate wh-question word. Be sure to “transfer” the tense and number from the main verb
to the word do.
(You want something.) … do you want
What do you want?
(You went somewhere.) … did you go (past tense)
Where did you go?

LAWRENCE: Would you mind if I could take a little bit of your time?
VANESSA: Sure, you’re welcome!
LAWRENCE: Your business appears to have a neat environment. When did you
start
this business and what inspired you to start it?
VANESSA: I started this business about two years ago. “Siyaya” means we are
moving. About two and half years ago, my family and I moved to this
place which had just been built by the local municipality. Surprisingly,
neither shops nor basic facilities such as laundries had been built. I
realized the need for such services in the area. After a careful
survey, I found out that many of the residents worked from 8:00 to
17:00 each day of the week and did not have sufficient time to do
their laundry. Coupled with that I also noted that our winters have
severe cold temperatures and as a result, washing even at week
ends did not dry. I concluded from my survey that there was a need
for laundry facilities.
LAWRENCE: I see a lot of customers going in and coming out of your business
premises. It seems business is good for you. How many customers
do you think you service on average per day?
VANESSA: On average I service 100 customers per day. This is because my
business hours are from 7:00 till 21:00.My business is close to the
taxi rank and the train station, so it is very convenient for people to
drop off their washing in the morning en route to work and pick it up
in the evening.
LAWRENCE: That sounds pretty good. Which resources did you need to start this
business?
VANESSA: Besides all the municipality regulations and a business plan which I
already had, I needed capital. Initially I had R10 000, 00 but
because of the huge capital outlay, I borrowed an additional R100
000, 00 from the bank.
LAWRENCE: How many employees do you have at the moment to help you run
the business?
VANESSA: Besides myself, I have three employees to assist me. Occasionally
there is a request for ironing and we seem to be managing very
well.
LAWRENCE: Apart from the competition you get from the similar businesses in
town (in the city centre), which other challenges do you experience
as an entrepreneur?
VANESSA: Because I use electrical equipment I need to have them serviced
regularly and I also need to do plumbing maintenance. This is the
main challenge which can stop my business from functioning
efficiently.
LAWRENCE: You appear to be a very popular entrepreneur in this community.
How did you become this popular?
VANESSA: Customer relations and service delivery are important components
of a business as well as ploughing back into the community and
that is exactly what I am doing. Example when local institutions
have functions in the area, I assist by laundering their table cloths
or giving them donations when approached.
LAWRENCE: You have really spoken at length. Is there any other thing that you
want to tell me about your business?
VANESSA: Nothing as at now but let me indicate that such visits and interviews
motivate me to work harder.
LAWRENCE:: Thank you very much Madam for your time. I appreciate the
information you have given me. I pray that your business keeps on
flourishing in the years ahead.
May I please a picture of you for publication in our college
magazine?
