志伟:美玲,你今天怎么只买一杯水?你不饿吗?

měi líng nǐ jīn tiān zěn me zhǐ mǎi yì bēi shuǐ nǐ bú è ma

Zhiwei, a classmate: Meiling, how come you only bought a cup of water today? Aren't you hungry?

美玲:我带了面包当早餐。我想把零用钱存起来,下个月给妈妈买生日礼物。

Meiling: I brought bread for breakfast. I want to save my pocket money to buy Mum a birthday present next month.

志伟:真好!可是我每天都把零用钱花在零食上,一块钱也存不了。

zhēn hǎo kě shì wǒ měi tiān dōu bǎ líng yòng qián huā zài líng shí shang yí kuài qián yě cún bu liǎo

Zhiwei, a classmate: That's great! But I spend all my pocket money on snacks every day. I can't save even a dollar.

美玲:如果你每天少买一包薯片,一个星期就能存五块钱。

rú guǒ nǐ měi tiān shǎo mǎi yì bāo shǔ piàn yí gè xīng qī jiù néng cún wǔ kuài qián

Meiling: If you buy one less packet of chips each day, you can save five dollars a week.

志伟:有道理!而且薯片太油了,吃多了对身体也不好。

yǒu dào lǐ ér qiě shǔ piàn tài yóu le chī duō le duì shēn tǐ yě bù hǎo

Zhiwei, a classmate: That makes sense! And chips are too oily. Eating a lot isn't good for you either.

美玲:对啊。我们可以买水果,又健康又便宜。

duì a wǒ men kě yǐ mǎi shuǐ guǒ yòu jiàn kāng yòu pián yi

Meiling: Right. We can buy fruit. It's healthy and cheap.

志伟:好,从明天开始,我也要存钱。积少成多嘛!

Zhiwei, a classmate: OK, from tomorrow I'll save money too. Little amounts add up!

Meiling: Great! Let's go and buy apples together.
