Banks have to make money, so that they don't give it away. They keep it safe, and they also make money for themselves.
If you put your money in a bank, they will start an account（账户）for you. If you have a lot of money, they will pay you interest on your account.
You are lending them the money, and they are paying you for borrow it.
If you haven’t got much money, they don’t pay you anything. They take some of the money for bank charges. They don’t take very much. You know that it is safe in the bank. You can sleep at night!
If you want to give someone money --- for example, you own your friend John fifty dollars---you can give him a cheque. On the cheque, it says the bank will pay John fifty dollars. He takes the cheque to the bank and they give him fifty dollars. Then they take the money out of your account.
If you’re starting a business, it’s useful to borrow money from the bank.
You have to pay interest to the bank. You may have to buy a factory, or rent an office. You may need computers, machines, desks and chairs. If your
business does well, you can pay back the loan quite quickly.
Most banks have cash machines, so you can get your money when you want it. You have a special card and a secret number to put into the machine.
If you lose your card, you are safe, because only you know the number.

money.

pay

第四节 书面表达（10分）
Hi, everybody. My name is Zhang Hua. I come from No.7 Middle School. My hobby is keeping a diary in English.
I began to keep a diary in English when I was nine. At first I felt very difficult to do this. Then I went to library to read some English story books after class. My teacher also gave me a hand. Thus I collected a lot of useful information. Writing a diary in English needs hard work and more practice. With the help of the dictionary, I correct the mistakes in my diary every day. By keeping this hobby, I improve my English very quickly and I believe that it will become my lifetime hobby.
