单选题 Well, sir, opening a bank account is not very difficult. The trouble is finding the cash to put in it. We at Barclays know there"s a student problem — shortage of cash. The monthly cheque from home never seems big enough. We can"t make it any bigger but we can make it go a little further. Any student who opens a cheque account with Barclays gets our most important services free. We don"t charge you for running your account provided you keep out of the red (有盈余).
You"ll find you"ll be able to budget (预算) far better when you have a current account. And you"ll be able to make payments by cheque or by standing order. For example you can ask us to pay your rent direct to your landlady. All you need to do is to make out a standing order, and that means we make sure your rent is paid on time, without having to worry about it. You"ll receive regular statements to let you know just how you stand. If you have any money problems such as having money sent to you from home, our manager will be pleased to help in any way he can. His experience in money matters is sure to be of value to you.
I suggest you open your account today. Don"t wait until the term starts — you"ll have more than enough to think about then, settling in and starting your studies. You"ll be busy arranging your timetable and generally getting used to your new life and new surroundings.
