Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert, then probably keep your money somewhere in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money? ~
One place to save money is the bank Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money If you put your money in a piggy bank (猪形储蓄罐), one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in If you put your money in a savings account, one year later, you'll have more money than you put in
Why?
When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money y The bank uses your money (and the money of other people, too) to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account It also tells you how much interest you have earned If you leave your money in the bank, you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD If you have some money that you don't need to use for a long time, this is a good way to make your money grow
You can buy a CD at a bank You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time That period might be from six months to five years You can't touch your money during that time If you do, you must pay a penalty, or fee
Since the bank is using your money for that time period, it will pay you interest you will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account Can you guess why? It's because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time, Banks pay different rates of interest so, and you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before buying a CD.
第 36 题 Which way will help your money earn more money?()

A. Putting your money in your room
B. Putting your money in a piggy bank
C. Putting your money in your pocket
D. Putting your money in a savings account
