Almost immediately he saw one of his friends Richard and told him about the barman, “Just go in there and drink all you want, then get up and leave. When the barman asks you to pay the bill, just tell him you have already paid.” This sounded easy enough, so Richard went in and has several drinks.

We must believe it is going to bring us happiness. M: most people dont marry for money; most people dont pursue careers simply for money. For example, there are a lot of teachers who wont trade their job for a sales position to make more. So we vote with our feet. W: But just look at those people out there, with yachts, planes, big houses they have all the toys, and they do look happy. I think we want those things too. M: A recent survey tells us about the jobs that make people the happiest.

Also, having good relationships with other people, having a lot of friends, having a good marriagethese are the things that cant be bought by money.

Many American dont like to carry much cash. For them the cards are convenient and safe to use. Credit cards are gaining popularity, even for buying small items. They are accepted almost everywhere, though not at fast food restaurants. Credit cards allow you to purchase things that you may not currently have the money to buy. When you use a credit card, the credit card company that issued the credit card pays the store. Later, a bill will be mailed to you by your credit card company for the amount you purchased. At that time, you can either pay the bill in full, or only pay a minimum amount, and wait till later to finish paying. If you wait till later, you will owe the credit card company interest. 1.D 2.C 3.B 4.D 5.A Task 3 Buying a Machine An American manufacturer is showing his machine factory to a potential customer.
