The World Bank is officially part of the United Nations. Its aim is to fight poverty around the world and, to do that, it lends money to governments and countries which need financial help. Since it was created in 1945, after the end of the Second World War, the World Bank has helped improve the lives of millions of poor people in many different countries. 2. Credit cards have made shopping much easier for millions of people. With a credit card, you don t have to carry lots of cash with you when you go shopping. You just need to take one plastic card with you. With credit cards, you get a bill at the end of each month. If you pay the bill immediately, you don t have to pay the credit card company any money. If you delay paying some or all of the bill, however, the credit card company charges you extra. 3. In America it s the dollar and in Russia it s the rouble. Many countries have their own currency their own money. This means that when you travel from, say, Russia to the USA you have to exchange your roubles for dollars, as shops in America don t accept roubles. Many countries in Europe, such as France, Germany and Italy, now have the same currency, called the euro. This means that Italians travelling to Germany don t have to worry about exchanging money when they travel.

6 4. In Britain, people who work receive either a salary or a wage. They are both money that workers receive, but there are small differences between them. If you get a salary, you are paid at the end of each month. A job with a salary of 20,000 means that you get that amount over a year, not each month. A wage is usually paid at the end of each week. A factory worker in Britain might get a weekly wage of about Most people do not have enough money to pay in cash if they want to buy a house or a flat. Because of this, they have to borrow money from a bank. The name for the loan that most people get when they buy property is a mortgage. In Britain, it s common to get a mortgage for up to twenty-five years. In other countries, it s more common to get a mortgage that lasts for only ten or fifteen years. When you ve finished paying your mortgage, the building is yours! 6. What would the world be like if we didn t have money? It would be a very different place! We would probably have to exchange different things to get what we needed. For example, imagine that you needed some bread. You would go to a baker, but you couldn t buy the bread with money. You would have to give the baker something that the baker needed. If you were a farmer, perhaps you could offer the baker some fresh vegetables. It would be very difficult to get everything we needed, wouldn t it? 7. It s a fact that children don t work and don t earn money but still enjoy spending it. Parents usually provide children with an allowance, and they often insist that their children help around the home in order to receive their money. This raises the question of how large the allowance should be. Many parents feel that if they give their children too much money, they won t learn the real value of money. It s a balance that all parents find difficult to achieve. 1. The World Bank is officially part of the United Nations.

Whether you call it a gap year, a year out or a year off, the decision to delay going to university for a year after leaving school is a difficult, but important, one. Becky Roberts, now studying history at the University of Warwick, doesn t regret her decision to take a year off. I d worked so hard for my A levels, she says. I knew it would do me good to do something totally unrelated to studying before embarking on a three-year degree course. My year off working for my dad s company wasn t a holiday by any means, but it was a break from the world of education, and that s just what I needed. Carl Sanchez agrees. Now halfway through a biology degree at Cardiff University, Carl spent much of his gap year travelling. I worked for about three months to save up enough money, then went to stay with some friends who live in France. I ended up travelling round most of Europe, and even got over to Russia for a few weeks, which was fantastic. Both Becky and Carl enjoyed their year off, but do they feel it s benefited them in terms of their university life now? Definitely, says Carl. When I left school, I was a normal, fairly irresponsible eighteen year-old. I hadn t been anywhere, I hadn t done anything. A year later, when I went to university, I felt much more like an adult than a child. I know a few people at Warwick who took a year off, says Becky. Generally, we re more dedicated to our studies than those students who came straight from school. We ve got different priorities. We want to have fun, of course, but we realise we re here to get our degrees. I don t think some of the others have quite realised why they re at university yet. There are drawbacks to taking a gap year, though. Penny Cartwright went straight from school to study medicine at Imperial College, London. I thought about taking a gap year but decided against it and don t regret the decision for a minute. Becoming a doctor takes such a long time I ll be about 26 years old before I can start earning any money that the sooner you start, the better, in my opinion. It might be fun, but it s really just a wasted year in terms of career development. There s also the financial consideration. If you do decide to take a year off, and you don t want to work the whole time as Becky did, you have to be able to pay for it. Susan Jenkins, a Careers Officer, points out that parents are now less likely to fund their child s year off. Twenty years ago, it was fairly common for parents to say to their son or daughter, Here s two thousand pounds, go and have fun abroad for a few months. Nowadays, because parents have to pay so much more for their child s education while they re at university, they just can t afford to pay for this extra year too. One option, of course, is to do what Carl did: work for a few months in order to save up for a trip abroad. Another

12 option is to find casual work while travelling abroad. There are now a lot of books and websites with loads of information for people who want to do this, says Susan. It s a great way to see the world, gain experience, and get money for living expenses all at the same time. But don t expect to earn enough to save any money. So, should you take a gap year? The answer is: it depends. If you want a break from books and essays, then it s probably a good idea as long as you, or your parents, can afford it and as long as you re going to do something worthwhile during your time off. Sitting at home watching TV doesn t count! If you want to get your degree and start regular employment as quickly as possible, a gap year may not be so sensible. A15 Becky took a year off because she needed to see what working for her father was like. felt she needed a long holiday before university. wanted to do something different for a while. had done so well in her A level exams at school. A16 Carl says that a year off helped him learn the importance of saving money. make friends in many different countries. become more knowledgeable about geography. become more mature and experienced. A17 According to Becky, students who didn t take a year off are less hard-working than those who did. probably won t end up with a degree. don t want to have fun at university. are less intelligent than those who did. A18 According to Penny, a year off should be taken when you re about 26 years old. is better once you ve actually started your course. can be enjoyable and useful for your future work. merely delays the time when you can get a job. A19 In the past, parents were more likely to

13 pay for their child s education at university. give their child money to help with their year off. encourage their child to go straight to university. force their child to take a year off before university. A20 Susan issues a warning about low wages for casual work abroad. information from books and websites. paying for everyday expenses abroad. the difficulty of finding casual work. A21 This article would probably not appear in a handbook for school-leavers. a textbook for university students. a magazine for young people. the education section of a newspaper.
