[originaltext]W: Good afternoon. What can I do for you, sir?M: Good afternoon.

W: Good afternoon. What can I do for you, sir?
M: Good afternoon.(8)I come to London for a visit. I need to open an account, but I don’t know what type of account I could open.
W: All right. How long will you stay in London?
M: A couple of months, then I will go back to my country.
W:(8)And how much money would you like to put in the bank?
M: About ￡2 000.
W:(9)Well, you could open a Higher Rate Deposit Account. It requires ￡ 500 to open the account.
M: What is the advantage of that account?
W: As the name implies, the main feature of this option is that the interest is 9% on net and 11. 5% on gross. If you are a non-resident, you could get interest on gross.
M: Oh, I understand. How can I withdraw money? Do I need a cheque book?
W: I’m afraid the only access to it is to come to your branch.
M: I see.(10)What happens to the account if the balance goes below 500 pounds?
W:(10)The rate of interest will be reduced and goes down to 5.52 percent. You can go below 500 pounds, but you can’t overdraw.
M: What should I do if I want to close the account?
W:(11)One day’s notice is needed. You should go to your branch and give notice that you would like to close the account, then come in the following day and take your money out. That’s it.
M: Thank you very much for your help. Now I would like to open a Higher Rate Deposit Account.
W: That’s lovely. Please fill in this form.
