例句1：I set up about five years ago. I’d just finished my degree in business administration. It was very enjoyable, if rather lacking on the practical side. I was wondering whether I’d made the right choice of career, and was about to approach my uncle for advice on import–export when I was struck by the fact that there were not enough businesses to meet the demand for good quality food packaging, so I took the plunge. { 例句出处：《剑桥BEC高级真题集第五辑：P148》}
