IX. Comprehension reading

Banks

1. If you work, you’ve probably got a bank account. You could keep the money you earn each month in a box under your bed, but it wouldn’t be very sensible. One reason is that it’s not very safe. If your house gets burgled, you’ll lose everything you’ve saved. Another reason is that your money will lose value.
2. As prices rise, the money in a box under your bed will be able to buy fewer and fewer things. Money in a bank savings account, however, will earn interest. The interest will help compensate for the effect of inflation. But banks are more than just safe places for your money. What other services do they offer?
3. The other main service is lending money. Individuals and businesses often need to borrow money, and they need a lender that they can trust. This is exactly what banks are — reliable lenders. In fact, most of the money that people deposit in their bank accounts is immediately lent out to someone else.
4. Apart from storing and lending money, banks offer other financial services. Most of these are ways of making money more accessible to customers. For example, banks help people transfer money securely. They give customers cheque books and credit cards to use instead of cash. They provide ATM machines so that people can get cash any time of the day or night.
5. But how do banks make a living? Basically, they make a living by charging interest on loans. Of course, when you make a deposit into a bank savings account, the bank pays you interest on that money. However, the rate they pay savers is less than the rate they charge borrowers. The extra money they make by charging interest on loans is where banks earn most of their money.
6. For banks, interest is also a kind of security. Sometimes people do not pay back money they borrow. This is called defaulting on a loan. When someone defaults on a loan, the bank uses money earned from interest to cover the loss.
7. This entire means that most of the money people have saved in the bank is not there at all! A small amount of the total savings is kept by the bank so that customers can make withdrawals. The rest, however, is made available for loans. The amount that is kept is called the reserve. The reserve must be a certain percentage of all the savings received from customers — for example 20 per cent. This figure is set by the central bank, and this is one of the ways that governments can control the amount of money circulating in the economy.

X. Read the text and match each paragraph with the correct heading.

Paragraph 1С Paragraph 2D Paragraph 3F Paragraph 4E Paragraph 5B Paragraph 6G Paragraph 7A

Bank reserve How banks make a profit It is sensible to keep money in a bank account Money can earn interest Ways of making money more accessible to customers Banks are reliable lenders Defaulting on a loan

XI. Read the text again and choose the correct answer.

1. What two reasons are given for saving your money in a bank account?
   • It is sensible and money will lose value.
   • It is safe and money will earn interest.
   • Because banks are reliable lenders.
2. Why do people prefer to borrow money from banks?
   • Banks are reliable lenders.
   • Banks are lenders of last resort.
   • Banks charge interest rate.
3. Do banks do anything else for their customers other than store and lend money?
   • They don’t provide any other financial services.
   • They offer many other financial services like credit cards, cash transfers, etc.
   • They don’t make their money accessible.
4. How do banks earn money?
   • They charge interest on loans.
   • They keep a certain amount of the total savings as a reserve.
   • They provide ATM machines so that people can get cash any time of the day or night.
5. Who decides how much money the bank keeps in reserve?
   • Its customers.
   • The bank itself.
   • The central bank.

XII. Match the infinitives in A with the nouns in B.

A to lose to earn to provide to make to default on to cover

B the loss a loan interest value withdrawals ATM machines

To lose value,to default on a loan, to cover the loss, to provide ATM machines, to earn interest, to make withdrawals.
