| (M: Mike and J: John are on campus.) |
| M: |
John, I'm running out of money, what should I do? |
| J: |
Try hocking your bike.. |
| M: |
Be serious, pal! I have a one-year certificate with the Bank of Taiwan. Can I withdraw some money from it? |
| J: |
Of course you can , but I'm sure there's a penalty for early withdrawal. |
| M: |
Oh, that's too bad. Do you think that I have any chance of getting a loan form a bank? |
| J: |
The banks here offer different kinds of loans for helping people do business, or buy a house. But they require some collateral in case you are not able to pay the money back.. |
| M: |
Well, they say, "A golden key opens every door", but I only have an old, rusty key to open my parents' door back home. |
| J: |
If you keep on spending money the way you do, you'll soon lose your old rusty key too, pal! |
| M: |
You're absolutely right. I feel so ashamed to have to have my folks and ask for more money. I'll promise them that this will never happen again. |
| J: |
Maybe you should get a part-time job. .
