W：Read the report? The：tuition fee was increased to ￡ 3000 a year. And other living expenses are on average ￡3000 a year.
M：Yeah, it’s a huge increase. How are you managing your budget?
W：Well, (23)I got a student loan, which is just over ￡3 000, but also I get some money from my parents as well. They’re happy to help out because it’s towards an education；as long as we’re not just wasting it all in drinking it all away. I am in the 3rd year.1 went to the end of my overdraft a couple of times and I’m lucky to have middle class parents who can help me out really.
M：But mostly your finances have been poor!
W：(24)That’s because of the summer. If I just 1ived as a normal student and then worked during the summer it wouldn’t be so bad—but I go on big holidays and things. This year I went to the Philippines and then came back overland from Singapore, which is a wicked experience, but eats into your finances obviously. What about you?
M：My parents came to the arrangement that first of all they paid the fees for me；secondly they paid my hall fees； and thirdly they gave me an allowance.
W：That’s quite practical. But can you manage?
M：Yeah, I did excellently. I decided first of all I was going to get a first, which I did, and secondly 1 was not going to have any debts.(25)I put the money in a high interest account, so I came out with no debts at all. But I did live on Marmite sandwiches almost for three years.
