Unit 5
: Listening Activity No. 5 
(
Mr. Smith wants to open a bank account. He comes to a Barclays Bank and talks to one of the staff 
there.
)
Clerk
: Good afternoon. What can I do for you, Sir?
Smith
: Good afternoon. I have just come to London for a visit. I need to open an account, but I don't 
know what type of account I could open.
Clerk
: All right. How long will you stay in London?
Smith
: A couple of months, then I will go back to my country.
Clerk
: And how much money would you like to put in the bank?
Smith
: About two thousand pounds.
Clerk
: Well, you could open a Higher Rate Deposit Account. It requires five hundred pounds to open the 
account.
Smith
: What is the advantage of this account?
Clerk
: As the name implies, the main feature of this option is that interest is nine per cent on net and 
eleven point five on gross. If you are a non-resident, you could get interest on gross. And another bonus 
point to note is that interest is calculated daily and paid quarterly. In other words, the interest earned 
over a quarter, you are getting interest on your interest.
