正确答案：The Advantages of Owning a BusinessGiven the opportunity most people would be delighted to purchase a house or business of their own. Choosing between the two would be very difficult. One provides security while the other offers opportunity. If I were able to purchase only one I would choose to buy a business because of the chance it would give me to grow and succeed.There are several reasons why I think purchasing a business would be a better choice for me. First of all I would have the opportunity to improve the business and make it more valuable. Usually the only way to increase the value of a house is to wait for the market to rise and then sell it. Second if I were successful in my business I would then have enough money to also buy a house. In this way I could have both. Finally I am still young and so can afford to take the risk of choosing a business over a house. If I should be so unfortunate as to fail in my business I believe that I am resourceful enough to recover.In short a business is a better choice for me than a house because I am at a point in my life when I can afford to take some risks. The opportunity to own a business is also an opportunity to grow. If I am successful I will gain both profits and experience; if I fail I will still gain experience. But if I do not take the chance I will gain neither. After all nothing ventured nothing gained.
