Describe a company where you live that employs a lot of people

You should say:

What it does

How many people it employs

What kind of people work there

How do you feel about it

这是一道事物类话题，以前也出过类似的“家族企业”等题目，如果考试时间够久的烤鸭会很熟悉（扎心了）

那这道题目大家不要忽视的一个点在于“where you live”，相当于是身边出现的企业，需要体现一下这个企业跟你的相关之处会更切题。

如果为了避免千篇一律的和人家写一样的，比如阿里巴巴、字节跳动、携程、华为等等，大家可以从自己身边挖掘。

比如，你可以写你曾经实习过的公司

再比如，你可以脑海中回顾一下各大商场里面入驻的店家或街边的店铺（毕竟大部分有品牌的店铺都开了很多分店招了很多人）：

衣：李宁、FILA、优衣库、ZARA

食：一点点、喜茶、瑞幸、肯德基、麦当劳

住：

- 买房租房：链家、中原地产

- 日用家电：小米、美的

- 其他：无印良品、名创优品

行：美团、滴滴、哈罗（这些还是要提到美团和阿里巴巴）

• 小问“what it does”他是做什么的

说一下这个公司的主营业务，你日常接触到他是提供什么服务的，售卖什么商品的

• 第二小问“How many people it employs”有多少员工

当然我们不可能说出这家公司具体有多少员工，如果直接说出数字，提前准备的痕迹也很明显，那我们可以从全市/全国/全球有很多分店、有多少业务部门等等的侧面描叙述

• 第三小问“What kind of people work there“公司里有哪些人

公司里有哪些人，可以从一些常规的部门或者职位出发，比如是销售、研发、营业员、店长等等，他们各自做的事情是什么

• 第四小问“How do you feel about it”你对这家公司评价如何

不仅可以从你的个人体验来说你对于这家公司的产品/服务的感受，讲一下你的用户体验，比如东西质量如何、服务是否到位等等。还可以从这家公司对于社会的意义，比如饿了么使人们的生活更便捷，或是华为对于国家而言是技术的先驱。

下面是关于这个话题可以延伸出来的思维图

Due to its size, I believe it employs lots of people most of whom are real estate agents who help their clients buy, sell and rent houses and get a commission for every deal. Well, I don’t know the exact number of agents Lianjia has under its employ, but I think it must thousands. And as far as I’m concerned, anyone can work for this company. In other words, this kind of job has a very low threshold, which doesn’t require high academic degrees. As long as you can speak properly and are willing to serve, you can work there.

I find Lianjia pretty reliable and the people there are friendly and trustworthy. I’ve been living in Shanghai for over ten years, and been living in rented apartments. Every time I’m looking for a new apartment, the first agency I think of is Lianjia because unlike those agents from other agencies, people there don’t try to rip you off. Over these years, I’ve learned that the price they offer is the lowest in the market, and the after-sale service is satisfactory. And that explains why Lianjia has the greatest market share in Shanghai.
