Read the text and answer the questions
Have you ever been to a Zara store?
You probably have because it’s one of the fastest-growing chains in the
world. The person behind Zara is Amancio Ortega. He is the richest man
in Spain, but very few people know his face. There are only few official
photographs of him, and he rarely gives interviews. Although he is a
multimillionaire businessman, he doesn’t look like one – he doesn’t like
wearing suits or ties, and prefers to wear jeans and a shirt.
1. Who is Amancio Ortega?
2. What is unusual about him?
1. He is the person behind Zara,
a businessman, the richest
person in Spain.
2. He is a multimillionnaire but he
likes wearing casual clothes.
When he was young he worked as a shop
assistant in a clothes store, but he always
dreamed of having his own business. In
1963 he started a small company which
made women’s pyjamas. In 1975, at the age
of 40, he opened his first clothes shop in La
Coruna, a small city in north-west Spain, and
named it Zara. Now you can find Zara shops
all over the world, from New York to Moscow
to Singapore. So why is Zara so successful?
3. What was his first job?
4. When did he open his first Zara
shop?
5. Where are there Zara shops now?
3. He was a shop assistant.
4. In 1975.
5. All over the world, from New
York to Moscow to Singapore.
The main reason is that Zara reacts incredibly
quickly to the latest designer fashions, and
produces clothes which are fashionable but
inexpensive. Zara can make a new line of clothes
in three weeks. Other companies normally take
nine months. The clothes also change from week
to week – so customers keep coming back to see
what’s new. It produces 20,000 new designs a
year – and none of them stay in the shops for
more than a month.
So if you’ve seen a new jacket or skirt you like in
a Zara store, hurry up and buy it, because it won’t
be there for long.
6. What are the secrets of Zara’s
success?
6. It reacts to top designer
fashion very quickly and cheaply,
the clothes change every week,
they produce 20,000 new designs
a year.

  • 4. Read the text and answer the questions Have you ever been to a Zara store? You probably have because it’s one of the fastest-growing chains in the world. The person behind Zara is Amancio Ortega. He is the richest man in Spain, but very few people know his face. There are only few official photographs of him, and he rarely gives interviews. Although he is a multimillionaire businessman, he doesn’t look like one – he doesn’t like wearing suits or ties, and prefers to wear jeans and a shirt.
  • 5. 1. Who is Amancio Ortega? 2. What is unusual about him?
  • 6. 1. He is the person behind Zara, a businessman, the richest person in Spain. 2. He is a multimillionnaire but he likes wearing casual clothes.
  • 7. When he was young he worked as a shop assistant in a clothes store, but he always dreamed of having his own business. In 1963 he started a small company which made women’s pyjamas. In 1975, at the age of 40, he opened his first clothes shop in La Coruna, a small city in north-west Spain, and named it Zara. Now you can find Zara shops all over the world, from New York to Moscow to Singapore. So why is Zara so successful?
  • 8. 3. What was his first job? 4. When did he open his first Zara shop? 5. Where are there Zara shops now?
  • 9. 3. He was a shop assistant. 4. In 1975. 5. All over the world, from New York to Moscow to Singapore.
  • 10. The main reason is that Zara reacts incredibly quickly to the latest designer fashions, and produces clothes which are fashionable but inexpensive. Zara can make a new line of clothes in three weeks. Other companies normally take nine months. The clothes also change from week to week – so customers keep coming back to see what’s new. It produces 20,000 new designs a year – and none of them stay in the shops for more than a month. So if you’ve seen a new jacket or skirt you like in a Zara store, hurry up and buy it, because it won’t be there for long.
