 You have enough money to purchase either a house or a business. Which would you choose to buy? Give specific reasons to explain your choice.

If a person has enough money to buy either a house or a business, it will be a tough choice. Some people would opt to buy a house while others would choose to buy a business. Both of them have benefits, but if I were given the choice, I would buy a business. The reasons for my choice are that a business would give me the opportunity to make more money, and having my own business would supply me with a great feeling of satisfaction.
* business = 사업, 장사 / tough = 어려운, 힘든 / opt = 택하다, 선택하다 / satisfaction = 만족, 만족감

First of all, if I own my own business and it is successful, I will be able to make more money. I think that in time most people reach the point to which they are able to buy themselves a house, but it might not be exactly the kind of house that they would like to have. However, if I own a successful business, I will have a constant in-flow of money that I can save up. Over time I will be able to save up enough money to buy the exact type of house that my family and I would like to have. In addition, the money provided by having a successful business will allow me and family to do all the things that we want to do, like travel, and have all the things that we would like to have, such as fashionable clothes, nice cars and top-grade education for my children.
* first of all = 첫째로, 우선, 무엇보다도 / successful = 성공한, 성공적인 / constant = 지속적인, 계속적인 / in-flow = 유입 / save up = 돈을 모으다 / fashionable = 유행하는, 유행을 따르는, 부유층이 애용하는 / top-grade = 일등급의, 상류의

Furthermore, if I have my own business, it will supply me with something more than money. It would give me the chance to feel great satisfaction with the fact that I have my own business. Most adults work, but they do not all have their own businesses. Though some people who work for others may feel satisfied, I believe they are in the minority. Most people just look at their jobs as a way to make money in order to satisfy the basic needs of their families. However, having a successful business will provide satisfaction through feelings of pride, accomplishment and self-confidence. In a way, those feelings are worth more than money.
* minority = 소수, 소수집단 / basic needs = 기본적 욕구 /pride = 자랑스러움, 자부심 / accomplishment = 완수, 성취, 업적 / self-confidence = 자신, 자신감

While it would be nice to buy a house of my own, I think it would be better in the long run to own a successful business first. If I own my own business, I will be able to accumulate the wealth needed to fulfill my desires and also develop a nice sense of satisfaction. Those two factors together will make life very nice to live.
* in the long run = (앞으로 길게 보았을 때) 결국에는 / accumulate = 축적하다, 쌓다 / wealth = 부, 재산 / fulfill = 이루다, 성취하다, 실현하다 / desire = 욕구, 갈망, 바람 / develop = 발달하다
