A Student Credit Card

                                                                     I. Pre-Listening Exercises
        Student credit cards are becoming more and more popular, but your credit rating can be affected by your credit history, and using a Web site that provides a credit score can help you monitor your financial well-being. Whatever the case might be, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using credit cards, particularly for people your age?
   To have a credit card, i think it is very hard, resbonsible for human. While people was using a student credit, they weren't thinking some money. Because credit has a lot of advantages. For example, no money, shopping center makes payment for people. People can take some thing a web site with a credit card. This is very easy and they pay a lot of money with a card. I think, user has particulary. People that have a job, isn't under 18 age can use a card.

Personal Security

       I. Pre-Listening Exercises
         What images come to mind when you read the title of this conversation, "Personal Security: Theft in the Park"? What people might be involved: men, women, and/or children? What time of day is it? What is stolen? Write down your ideas.
     I think thiefes  try to earn some money to buy some food or clothes, but they don't find to work for their need, so they have to stole from people for their need. Sometimes men, women or children can stole something in the park, but i think children usually stole in there. Because, children are under the 18 age, so they don't punish by goverment. They also can stole easly, their are very small.:) They stole midday, while people was going to home, to work out in night. They always stole some money, food, some gold and their stole peolple's life. They sometimes kill someone to stole.:((((
