听力题 W: Midwestern Bank. Good morning. M: Hello. I''d like to know how to open a bank account here in Britain. W: Certainly, sir. How long are you going to be here for? M: Uh, a year and a half at least. I''m doing an MA at the polytechnic. W: I see. Well, you need to be here for more than six months to open any account. Now if you want to open a current account with a cheque book, you must be over 18. M: I''m well over that. Unfortunately. W: Never mind! You''ll need to come in and fill in a form and show some identity. I mean identification. M: You mean a passport or credit card? W: Um, a credit card wouldn''t be any good. A passport would be fine, or a driving licence. M: That sounds fine. W: Oh, and you''d need to give us a couple of specimen signatures and some kind of financial reference from an employer or your university. M: Right. How long does it take before I get my cheque book and everything? W: Oh, it''s quite quick really. A week or so. M: Good, and is the bank open all day? W: From 9 to 3 Monday to Friday and 9 to 12 on Saturday. M: Thank you very much. W: You''re welcome.
