Banked Cloze
To
spend
or
save
is
a
question
which
many
people
have.
There
is
always
a(n)
(1)
(dilemma)
whether one should
spend the money that he has earned or save that
money for the future. Well,
there is no
(2) (explicit) answer to the question as different
people have different (3) (perspectives)
on their life, and that is the reason
why some people tend to spend all the money earned
while
others (4) (retain) control over
their money. People who spend all the money do not
think much
about
the
future.
The
only
thing
that
they
enjoy
doing
most
is
to
(5)
(derive)
pleasure
from
spending money. For
example, if they like a particular car, mobile
phone or laptop, they will buy it
without
giving
it
a
thought.
For
them,
the
most
important
thing
is
to
satisfy
their
material
(6)
(appetite). People who
have their first job or who haven't married often
fall in this category. In the
long run,
saving is a good (7) (option) for one's life as
saving helps an individual to plan for future
(8)
(urgent)
needs.
That
is
also
the
reason
why
many
people
save
money
for
a
rainy
day.
Individuals who can (9) (suspend) their
spending save money successfully. Instead of
buying on
impulse,
they
delay
their
purchasing
decision
and
won't
be
easily
(10)
(manipulated)
by
commercial ads. Individuals who have
responsibility for their family belong to this
category.
