Money and Payment System Reading. What do you know about American money? Read the text. What are the main means of making payments in the US? American money comes in bills (paper money) and coins. The denominations of paper money are $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, though 2 dollar bills are very rare. A slang word for a dollar is ‘buck’. There are 100 cents (c) to the dollar. 1 cent is a small copper coin known as a ‘penny’. A 5 cent coin is called a ‘nickel’, a 10 cent coin is a ‘dime’, and a 25 cent piece is known as a ‘quarter’. Unlike the word ‘buck’, these are standard terms. Note the proper way of naming a certain sum: 1.40 – ‘one dollar and forty cents’, or ‘a dollar and forty cents’, or ‘one forty’; 3.60 – ‘three dollars and sixty cents’, or ‘three sixty’. You can make your payments in cash, traveler's checks, credit and banking cards, or checks. When traveling the best way to carry your money is traveler's checks. They are insured, and you can get your money back if they are lost or stolen. Be sure to write down the check numbers. In order to have your checks replaced you will have to apply to a refund office where you will be asked to fill out a special form providing information, first of all, on their numbers and, if possible, on the date of purchase, as well as amount, date, location and circumstances of loss. The transaction is free of charge. The inconvenience of traveler's checks is that they should be in dollars as banks in the US usually do not deal with foreign currency. Traveler's checks can be bought at most banks but the service charge may vary. One can use traveler's checks almost anywhere: in hotels, stores, or restaurants. With Americans, the most common way of making payment is by credit card, the major ones being Visa, American Express, and Master card. To get a credit card one must meet certain requirements, such as permanent residence and a permanent job. It is common practice for an American to have various credit cards, as every company provides its customers with certain advantages. You receive a bill listing your expenditure from the credit card company once a month. Usually no interest is charged if you pay within thirty days. Other ways of completing business transactions or making a purchase is by means of a check book and a banking card. They are given by your bank when opening an account. A banking card enables you to withdraw money from your account immediately. You slip the card into an automated teller machine (ATM, cash machine) that is connected to your bank computer and the amount of payment is instantly deducted from your bank balance. Both credit and banking (ATM) cards are commonly called ‘plastic’ money, or just ‘plastic’. Answer the following questions What are the denominations of paper money in the US? What are the names of coins? How will you name the following sums: $3.55, $15.25, $106.41? Why is it convenient to use traveler's checks? What are the names of the major credit cards in the US? On your own. Work in groups. Choose three countries you are interested in. Use guidebooks or the Internet to find out as much as you can about dealing with money in these countries. Write short guides for visitors for each one. Include information about: currency the best place to change money (banks, bureau de change, etc.); the best way to carry money (traveler’s cheques, dollars, etc.); how easy it is to use credit cards, etc; other useful information. Unit 9 HELP YOURSELF! Vocabulary. Work in pairs. Find out what your partner’s favorite meal is and what sort of food he/she never eats. Put these words in the correct groups.

EATING OUT IN NEW YORK CITY Reading.What do you know about eating habits in the USA? Summarize your own experience, if any, or mention the source of your information (books, films, TV programs). Scan the text and list the places where one can have a bite in NY. Compare your list with other students. A wide variety of dining pleasures awaits a visitor to New York City, from luxuriating in the fanciest of French restaurants to grabbing a hot dog. With cuisines from every corner of the globe, New York City will feed you very well regardless of your budget. The least costly alternatives are those used by many natives at lunch time: street vendors, fast food places and delis. Street vendors' offerings — hot dogs for $2.00 or less — are fast, inexpensive and very ‘New York’. Hot dogs are a kind of sausage placed inside a bun. They are often made from pork and can be steamed, boiled, or grilled. The fast food places, such as McDonald's and Burger King are much the same everywhere in the United States. They offer a pretty standard fare: hamburgers, French fries, and coke (Coca-Cola), at a pretty standard price. A meal will rarely exceed $4.00 per person. Hamburgers are made from beef, not ham, and served in a round bun. They are often eaten with tomato, or lettuce, or onion, mustard, and ketchup. A hamburger with melted cheese is called a cheeseburger. With so many people traveling in cars, fast food places can be found all along the highways. If you are in a hurry, you can drive round to a ‘drive through’ window and pick up your food packed in a paper bag without leaving your car. Likewise, other fast food places may have ‘drive-in’ facilities. A waiter will meet you in the restaurant's parking lot, take your order and deliver the food to your car, where you can eat in the relative comfort of the parking area. Along highways and in town, ‘diners’ give you a fine opportunity to have a quick snack. They are small-size restaurants, traditionally shaped like a railroad car. Another option, the delis (short for delicatessen) offer sandwiches and assorted salads. Americans eat a lot of sandwiches, especially for lunch. They are made with two pieces of bread and a filling. Some common fillings are: tuna fish, eggs, ham, chicken, turkey, roast beef, cheese, and peanut butter and jelly. Some sandwiches are served hot, for example, a hot roast beef sandwich. Another special type is the ‘club sandwich’ which is made with three pieces of bread and two fillings between them. One common sandwich is called a BLT, which means bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Although the bill in delis may run as high as $8.00 per person, their advantage is quick service, and of course, as the name implies, the food is delicious. Another relatively inexpensive alternative is the gourmet takeout shop stocked with foods for home or picnic. Some places call themselves ‘family restaurants’. This usually means home style cooking. The food is almost as reasonably priced as in delis or better cafeterias. In a cafeteria you walk through a line, choose your food, put it on a tray, pay at the end of the line, and carry your food to a table. Turning to foreign cuisine, New York City's excellent and inexpensive offerings include pizza and a wide choice of Chinese and Mexican food. Pizza comes in two varieties — thin-crust ‘Neapolitan’ and thick-crust ‘Sicilian’ — and is served by the slice or by the pie. The best Chinese food, of course, is in Chinatown. To snatch a quick taste of Mexican cooking one may go to Taco Bell or Taco-Time, where you will be offered tacos, chunks of marinated and broiled meat rolled in tortillas (flat bread made from wheat or corn), or chili, a spiced (‘hot’) seasoned dish of beef, beans, chili peppers, and tomatoes.

Choose one of the places described in the text, read about it and make notes under the headings below. Students sitting side by side should choose different places! Place ____________________________________________________ Typical menu______________________________________________ Prices ____________________________________________________ Other details: location, service, lay-out __________________________ Speaking. Now use your notes to tell the class about the place you have read about. Listen to other students telling about their places and make notes (see the chart above). Ask for clarification if necessary. Then compare your notes with other students. How well can you understand each other? Language for Suggestions and Invitations Listening. Listen to these offers. Some offers sound sincere and genuine, and some offers sound insincere, or rude. Write (I'll accept the offer) when the offer sounds sincere, or (I'll refuse the offer) when the offer sounds insincere or rude. I'll help you carry the cases. Why don't you let us do the dishes tonight? Would you like me to go to the shops for you? I'll do it later. Er, do you need any help? Shall I make the coffee? Look, come in and sit down. Leave it all to me. Let me do it. Can I help you across the road? Can you reverse the meaning by using the tone of your voice? Try!
