Task 2 (одна буква должна стоять в одном пропуске, не повторяясь) Fill in the gaps (1–6) with the missing sentences (a–g). There is one extra sentence. Mark: Hi, Sorie. Talking about money, do you worry about money? Sorie: Yes, I do. 1. ________________________________. And I’m not saving any money at the moment. And I have friends around me that are already saving up for their retirement. I’m 27 years old right now and I’m not sure if I should be concerned or not. Are you concerned? Mark: Well, what kind of options are there? How would you want to save up? Sorie: 2. ____________________________________. Mark: Because you don’t have any money? Sorie: Yeah, the present is plenty to think of 3. ______________________. Do you have any recommendations on how I could do it? Mark: Well, the national pension plan, or kind of put a little bit aside every week or forget about it. You’re only 27. Sorie: Yeah. It’s very interesting, you know, because I know some people that instead of having a retirement plan decided to have a lot of kids and have their kids pay for them when they grow up and they get older. So that may be an option for me. Mark: Yeah. And from where you’re also, that’s kind of the norm perhaps. Sorie: Yeah, that’s right. How about you? Mark: Yeah, I’m a bit older than you and I don’t have a pension plan either. 4. _________________________. Sorie: The time will come though. Mark: The time will come and the more I think about it, the more we talk about it, it’s definitely something to be considered. But it’s interesting in the national pension plan, isn’t it because what if we leave? 5. ________________________________. And then we move to another country. Sorie: So as an international person, it’s difficult to commit to a national pension because you don’t know where you’re going to end up, right? Mark: Exactly. Sorie: That’s what you’re saying, I see. Mark: So, if that was the case, it would seem that putting a little bit away every month or every week personally in an account would be a good idea. Sorie: And are you committed, like, can you do that every month? Can you? Mark: 6. ____________________________. Yeah, but it’s interesting that I haven’t considered such things. And now when we consider it and realize how important it is, it’s probably a good thing to be considering. Sentences: a) I haven’t got my head around the future yet. b) I would be nervous to lend close friends money because it can sometimes affect a friendship. c) Well, first of all, right now, I don’t have the option to save for retirement. d) But I’m not quite so worried about it right now. e) What if we won’t live in this country anymore, we have to move to another country and then we work there a little bit. f) Yeah, I think I can do that. g) I especially worry about the future, about my retirement plan.
