ENGLISH ASSIGNMENT 2:

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

For the second and final project, we were required to form groups to do a comparative analysis and presentation on two businesses. The businesses have to be of the same type, and from two different locations, one in Klang valley and one outside of Klang valley. It has to be a legal and appropriate business and must be established for at least 10 years and above. We have to visit both business venues and also interview the owner or manager of the shops. After gathering all the information we need, we had to write a report to compare the products, services, similarities, differences and other information about the businesses. We also had to prepare a group presentation to explain everything on the report. 

 

 

 

After some discussions within our group, we all decided to do our research based on two stationery shops, one in Sunway and another in Jerantut, Pahang. We chose the one in Jerantut because one of our members, Chong Hao Foong lives there and personally knows the owner of the shop. We split into two teams, Hao Foong, Zhi Chang, Harris and I went to Jerantut for the interview while the rest of the team interviewed the shop in Sunway. The interviews were a success and we had a great time in Jerantut, Pahang.

REFLECTION

As a conclusion, this whole assignment was an eye-opening experience. Not only did I learn a lot about how the businesses are run, I also learned that setting up a business can be very risky. Taking risks is a part of making progress, and even if you fail, learning from your mistakes is important for your business to survive. I also improved my grammar and vocabulary skills when writing part of the report for this assignment. It has definitely helped me in terms of formal writing. Lastly, I had a great experience going to Jerantut, Pahang for the first time, taking some time to enjoy the quiet, relaxing town.
