Текст №1

If you work, you will probably get a savings bank account. You can keep the

money you earn in a box under your bed. Or you can keep it in the cupboard. You

can lend it to your friend, but don’t lose your friend in this case. Some people hide

their money in their refrigerator. But these ways aren’t very clever. On the one hand

it isn’t very safe. If your house is robbed, you will lose everything you've saved. On

the other hand your money will lose its value.

After some time, the money from the cupboard won’t be able to do a lot of

things. However money will earn interest if you make a deposit. The interest will

help to compensate for the effect of inflation. But banks are more than just safe

places for your money.
