Most banks in the US open at 9:00 and close between 3:00 and 5:00, but stay open later on Fridays. Some banks have longer hours in

order to attract customers. What's the best way to carry money safely while

you are travelling? There are three possibilities — personal checks from

your country, traveller's checks and credit cards. Some American banks accept foreign checks such as Eurocheques, the problem is that only banks that are used to dealing with foreigners will know what Eurocheques are.

	It may be more convenient to carry traveller's checks, which are
insured	against	loss.	They	should be in dollars, because only a few
banks	do much	business in		foreign	currencies. If your checks	are not
in dollars, it may take you				a long time to find a bank that will ex-
change them. You can use				traveller's checks almost anywhere — in
restaurants, stores or			ticket	offices	- without having to go to	a bank.

If you run out of them, you can buy more at most banks. Their service charge will vary, though, so ask what it is before you buy your checks.

Americans would say the best way to carry money is to have a major credit card like Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Credit

cards can be cancelled if they are lost or stolen. And because they are widely accepted in the US, it is easy to use them to pay for lodging, transportation, meals and things you want to buy from larger stores. Of


course, you		can't	get along without cash, but you don't need to
carry much with you.
Ex.1. Answer		the	questions.
1.	What are the .opening hours in most banks of the USA?
2.	Which bank sells traveller's cheques (B.E.)?

3.Is it a good idea to have a credit card when you travel in the USA?

4.What is the best way to carry cash?

5. What currency should traveller's cheques (B.E.) be in?

6.Is it convenient to carry them in Euro?

7. Where should you go if you want to cash a Eurocheque?

8.Can you buy traveller's cheques (B.E.) in banks?

9.What is to be done when a credit card is lost?

10.Why is it not convenient to have personal cheques from your country?

Read and discuss the dialogue.

-Good morning.

-Good morning, sir. Can I help you?

-Yes, I think so. I would like to open an account.

- What kind of are you interested in?

-You see, I have some spare money to put into the bank.

-Then you should open either a savings or checking account.

-I ' m afraid I know nothing about either of them. Could you tell me the difference between these two accounts?

-A small initial deposit is necessary to open a savings account at our bank. If it is more than five hundred dollars and you maintain this amount, then you won't be charged for banking services. Otherwise you will be charged five dollars a month.

- So, I must keep a minimum balance of $500, is that correct?

- Yes, that's right. Our computers check your average daily balance. - And will I get a banking card after opening an account?

-Yes, certainly. And then you can get your money through machine services. You can make deposits, cash withdrawals and balance inquiries with your card. The machine is at work 24 hours a day.

- It's very convenient. And may I ask what a checking account means? - Certainly, sir. After opening a checking account you are supposed to

maintain au ava:>ge daily balance t"fVi 000. - And what if I fail r-eiow this limit?

-Then you would have to pay a service charge of six dollars a month, and besides you will be charged 25 cents for each check and the same amount for each cash withdrawal.

-1 see. And can I avoid it somehow?

-Yes, of course. It may be done by keeping your $1,000 in your checking account.

-And how much interest do you pay?

-Interest of 6,5% is paid when your average daily balance is over $2,500. We credit the interest you've earned automatically to your account.

-Well, it's clear enough, but I intended to put only $1,000 into the account.

- Then it would be more profitable for you to open a savings account.

-Okey. I've made up my mind. I will open a savings account with a deposit of one thousand dollars.

-Fine. Will you fill out this application?

-Is everything correct?

- Yes, everything is all right. And now you need to write a deposit ticket for $1,000.

WHA

MAKES A

MUL TICUL TURAL

PERSON?

Before we discuss the qualities a multicultural person, or

multiculturalist, needs

to have, it is necessary to explain this term.

multiculturalist

someone

who

can

easily

adapt

living

culture different

from their own, the sort of person that could be

described as a citizen of the

world, or a member of a global commu-

nity. There are four key

qualities

you

need

order

multiculturalist.

The first

to be open-minded, which means not judging one cul-

ture as better than

another,

believing

that the

way

things

are

done

in your	culture is the best or the only way of doing things. In			other
words, you should not be in any way "ethnocentric".
	Second, you must be adaptable. To live successfully in another
culture,	particularly in one that is very	different from your	own,	you
have to	adapt to differences: not only	visible differences of	food,	cli-

mate, customs, but also to the invisible differences — the ways in which

people

of other cultures understand and interpret the world, and their

different

values.

Third, you need to be sensitive. That means being able to see things

from the other person's point of view

and being careful to avoid doing

things

that people of other culture

might find strange or offensive,

even if in your culture such things are quite OK.

Fourth, you need to be interested in other cultures, which is closely

to the

three

qualities

mentioned

above.

multiculturalist

a person who has a genuine interest

in people of other cultures, who

wants

learn

their

language, find

out

about

their

country

and

its

history,

and

develop

a real

understanding

of their

culture.

Perhaps,

it's this quality, more than any

other,

which

best describes

multicultural

person.

It's

very

important to know about the differences in culture be-

tween your country and the country you are going to visit or you

are

working in. You can make mistakes and

offend

people

you don't

know the customs.

Handshaking is the first example. In this country they shake hands

much more than we do. So you mustn't forget to do that.

Another difference is that at work they use first names much

less

than

we do

here

Britain.

it's

preferable

names.

Food and wine take a very important place in this country, so at a

business

lunch

never

start

discussing

business

immediately.

That

might

seem

bad manners. If you get an invitation to a person's

home,

take

good

chocolates, flowers, or a good bottle of cognac. Don't

take wine: they drink it every day — it's too ordinary...

Britain

sometimes are five or

ten minutes late

for

a meeting

but in this country you should arrive on time, because people are very

punctual, especially	in work situations. They usually arrive at the
arranged time or even	earlier.

Family names are more common at work. People often use titles — Doctor, Professor, and so on. Please, remember to do the same. Your foreign colleague will tell you if he or she wants you to use their first name.

Y ou shouldn't try to be humorous or make jokes with people you

don't know well, because it might make them		feel uncomfortable.
Business meetings are usually very serious. At		a first meeting	it's
normal to exchange business cards, but I don't	recommend you to		do
this until the end of the meeting.
For social invitations, flowers or chocolates	are	suitable gifts. And

you should give an odd number of flowers, say, seven or eleven, and present

them without the wrapping paper...

When you go to this			country, take plenty of business cards			with
you. They usually exchange			cards at the beginning of a meeting,			and
they always read your card			very carefully. You should do the			same
with theirs. If you don't, they might think it rude.
If you want to succeed in business, you must learn to be patient,
because it	takes	longer to make		decisions	in this country than it	does
in Britain.	And	don't forget	that	when they	say "Yes", they may	mean
"I understand", but not "I agree". It may cause misunderstanding.
And	a final piece of advice — it's not common, but if you invited to

a person's home, remember to take off your shoes before going inside. So make sure you are wearing clean socks!

Read and discuss the text.
Oxford	University		research		psychologist,		Dr	Peter	Collett,	examined
some	of the	differences	in	the	"body	language" among			Europeans.
		CULTURALDIFFERENCES				IN	BODY	LANGUAGE
	Dr	Collett says		that	if we	compare the		way	different	European

nations use gestures, they fall into three major groups. The Nordic nations belong to the first group. These are the Swedes, Finns, Norwegians, and Danes. They use gestures very little. The second group, which includes the British, Germans, Dutch, Belgians, and Russians, use some gestures when

they are excited, or want to communicate over long distances, or insult

each other. The third group use gestures a lot, to emphasize what they are saying, or to hold the other person's attention. They are the Italians, Greeks, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.

The distance that separates one person from another - "personal space"— also varies between people of different nationalities. What is right

for one nationality may be uncomfortable for another. People stand close

enough to touch each other easily in such countries as France, Spain,

Greece, and Italy. British zoologist, Desmond Morris calls this the "elbow

zone". In the countries	of	East	Europe such	as Hungary,	Poland,
and Romania, people stand	a	"wrist zone", that is a little more distant.
They are close enough to	touch wrists. But in the Scandinavian coun-
tries, in Britain, Holland,	Belgium,		and Germany,	people stand	further

away from each other - the "fingertips zone".

Ex.1. Give name to each paragraph of this text.

Ex.2. Answer the questions.

1. Which nationalities in Europe usually use a lot of gestures when

they speak?

4. Why does a north European move away form the person he is talking to?

5. Which nationalities move closer to the person they are talking to?

Why?
