📑 Band 8+ Sample Answer

One ambition I have for the future is to run my own business. I’ve always dreamed of opening a small café that serves healthy food and offers a cozy space for people to relax and work.

I’ve had this ambition since I was in high school. I used to help my aunt at her bakery during summer holidays, and I loved watching how customers enjoyed her homemade cakes and the warm atmosphere she created. That experience inspired me to have my own place one day.

At the moment, I’m studying business management at university to gain the necessary knowledge. I also work part-time at a local café to learn how to run daily operations and deal with customers. I believe these small steps are helping me move closer to my goal.

This ambition is important to me because it combines my passion for food with my desire to create a welcoming space for my community. I think it will give me independence and the chance to do something I truly enjoy every day.
