Hello everyone.
说话人1
There's a magic about money when it's not planned for tracked, kept a record of. It literally disappears. What are some of the steps we can take to prevent this from happening?南京公务员报考条件学历
说话人2
It's all about keeping track of your money. If you don't do that, you'll never be able to set any goals for your budget or have the discipline to stick to them.
说话人1
That's easier said than done. I read recently that only 41 % of Americans adhere to a budget.(Q2)

Yes, but knowing what you earn and what you spend can give you reassurance that you won't get into debt in the first place. You can do this by adding up all of your sources of income you have and writing them all down on a piece of paper. On the same page, write down all of your monthly expenses.(Q3)
说话人1
I'm always amazed at how much my expenses add up, but designating each item as an income or an expense, really helps me have a much better sense of all my spending.
说话人2
Right. Most people have no idea how much they spend each day. Let alone each week
or month. No matter how careful they are. Next,subtract your monthly expenses from income. If the result is positive, you are living within your means. If the result is a negative number, you're going to have to cut back on your spending.
说话人1
I'm usually a negative number. I just can't resist the lure of all those prestigious goods.
说话人2
Well, It's not a catastrophe. But you do have to make some changes. Try cutting back on those non essential items, sell some stuff in your attic or shop online to avoid unnecessary temptations like chocolate. Failing that you can always find yourself a part time job.(Q4)

Conversation Two
说话人1
Hi there. I've come to see the flat. My name is Mark Adams. We spoke on the phone on wednesday.
说话人2
Hi Mark. Come on up. I'll buzz you in green door on the second floor, on the right side.
Nice to meet you. I spoke to all your references and they all checked out. Okay? So let me show you around. The place actually belongs to my mother, but her health isn't great(Q5). We finally managed to persuade her to move in with us and rent this old place out.
说话人1
It's a great size, plenty of space, very versatile(Q6). I think it's a winner for us. Yes.
说话人2
All the appliances are brand new. There's a washing machine and a tumble drier in the utility room next to the kitchen.
说话人1
Lots of closet space, too, which is fabulous. My wife has a ridiculous number of shoes.Now, the big question, what about noise and the neighbors?
说话人2河北省考
All the neighbors are elderly, so no noisy kids and the back of the house overlooks a clear and peaceful pond. It's perfect if tranquility is what you are looking for.
说话人1
That's good news. We've been living in a less than glamorous part of aberdeen, constantly harassed day and night by noisy neighbors. Getting to work was a nightmare, too. As we only have one car, and my wife has to use it as she works nights at the hospital.
说话人2
If you like the place, it's yours as soon as I get a contract drawn up with the solicitor, the first month's rent and a deposit or mandatory on signing the contract, then we can work out when is the best day for you to pay rent each month?
说话人1
Will be incredibly happy to be your new tenants.
Thank you so much. My wife will be thrilled to get out of the shabby place we are now in and start filling those wardrobes with all those shoes.(Q8)

Passage one
A new study has found a positive correlation between how much television children watch and their parents stress levels. Why? Because the more television kids watch, the
more they're exposed to advertising, the more advertising they see, the more likely they are to insist on purchasing items. When they go with their parents to the store, this could generate conflict. If the parents refuse all that, researchers say can contribute to parents overall stress levels. What's the solution? Perhaps the most obvious is curtailing screen time. Commercial content is there for a reason to elicit purchasing behavior? So parents might want to shut off the tv researchers concede that this is easier said than done. So they suggest another option. Parents can change how they talk to their kids about purchases. The researchers suggest that parents seek input from their children on family purchasing decisions. They shouldn't try to control all purchases. Instead, parents might tell their children things like, I will listen to your advice on certain products or brands. This type of communication, the researchers assert, can lead to children making fewer purchasing demands. That means less parents stress.
