生活英语情景口语100主题 19. At the Bank 在银行
Dialogue 1 L(Lauren) C(Caleb)
L: Good morning. How can I help you?
C: I'd like to open a new account.
L: Have you filled out an application form?
C: Yes. And I've brought some documents along with me, too. Do you need to see my passport?
L: Yes. I'll just have my assistant look over these quickly and then we'll move on to the next step. Did you want to open up a checking account and a savings account?
C: Yes. Does the checking account come with a debit card?
L: Yes. Actually, both accounts come with cards that yu can use in ATM machines, so that you won't have to come in to the bank to make a transaction.
C: That's very convenient.
L: It is. Our customers really like it. Do you have any other questions about your new accounts?
C: Yes. What's the maximum amount that you are allowed to have in an overdraft?
L: The maximum is $1000.
C: Is there a penalty for having an overdraft?
L: Yes, but it's not much. You just have to pay 1% interest on the amount. It's much lower rate than any of our loans and it's much better than owing money to most credit cards.
C: That's true. Is everything alright with my documents?
L: They're all in order. If you just sign your name here, you'll receive your cards and pin numbers in the mail in about 3 weeks.
C: Thank you very much.
L: You're welcome.
