Questions 41 – 45
When Mo saw famous singers wearing special ties called ‘bow-ties’, he decided he wanted one
too. But when he went shopping, all he found were plain, boring ones. He wanted something
more interesting, so he asked his grandma, who had years of sewing experience and many
pieces of old material, to teach him to make one himself.
The first bow-tie he made was ‘a big mess – like something a clown would wear!’ He was
determined to do better, and made bow-ties on his grandma’s sewing machine until finally his
skills improved. Eventually, his family bought him his own machine, and he kept sewing
(when he wasn’t playing football – Mo says it’s important to have a balance in life!) People
started noticing his designs. ‘They’d see me wearing my bow-ties and say, “That’s great – I
want one!” So I decided to sell them!’ explains Mo.
Soon, he was using modern colourful material in his designs, and he started selling the ties
online. As the number of orders increased, he asked family members for help. No two of Mo’s
bow-ties are the same, and can be worn by people of any age. He gets orders out to customers
on time and values their feedback. His success has encouraged him and in future, he wants to
develop a clothing range. As Mo explains, ‘If you have an ambition, don’t wait until you’re
older – go for it!’
