Clerk
: A cheque guarantee card enables you to cash up to fifty pounds without prior arrangement at 
most banks in the UK. And you'll need it to pay shops, garages, hotels, etc. because it guarantees that 
your cheque will be honoured.
Tom
: I see. Will I get interest on the money in my student account?
Clerk
: Yes. You will get a small amount of interest i.e. up to five hundred, interest is four percent. Five 
hundred and more, the interest goes up to six percent.
Tom
: What other advantages do student accounts have?
Clerk
: Well, we offer a two-hundred-fifty overdraft limit at our lower rate of interest.
Tom
: Can I open a student account then? What do I need?
Clerk
: You need a letter to prove that you are getting a grant from some authority and identification 
such as your passport. Then, you need to fill in some simple forms about your course and the duration 
of your stay in the UK, your address and your signature.
Tom
: OK. I will bring them in later. Thank you for your time.
Clerk
: You are welcome. Goodbye.

Jane
: Look at this picture. This is a party my sister had two years ago for her wedding I think it was.
John
: Who's that? I mean the woman on the very left?
Jane
: Oh, that's Aunt Elme. She's my mother's sister. She got married very young and has two grown-up 
children, now who have all left home. She's great fun and she and I get on really well. She says she's old-
fashioned and doesn't know anything about the world 'cause she's always been a housewife, but in fact 
she is really very broadminded about most things. The lady she's talking to is my aunt, Louise, but on my 
father's side. She is a music teacher in London University. She married someone really odd but it didn't 
work out and they ended up in the divorce courts after two years.
