Sofia : Mum, can you please lend me some money?
Mother : Why? How much do you want?
Sofia : I want to buy a gift for my friend as it’s her birthday next week. I have about RM
5.00
in my savings. I need another RM 15.00. I would like to get her some stationery.
Mother : OK. Why don’t you help me with some chores and I’ll pay you if you do them well?
Sofia : That sounds like a good idea. And, if I get extra money I can buy some stationery for
myself too. I would also like to buy a handphone.
Mother : What’s wrong with your present one?
Sofia : It’s not working well.
Mother : Why don’t you repair it?
Sofia : It costs too much to repair it, Mum. I might as well buy a new phone that won’t give
trouble for some time.
Mother : That’s going to cost you quite a bit.
Sofia : Yes. I know. It’ll take some time before I make enough money to buy it. My friend
says I can sell some things that I’m not using which are still in good condition online.
What do you think?
Mother : That’s a good idea. Maybe I too can give you some things that I’m not using and you
can try and sell them online. It’s a good way to recycle and get ried of the things we
don’t need.
