Conversation 1 Kasem: Good morning. My name is Kasem Wattana. How can I help you? May Watson: My name is May Watson. I’d like to open an account. Kasem: What kind of account would you like? A savings account or a checking account? May Watson: Oh, I’m not sure. I’ve just moved here. I’ve found a job that starts next week, and I want my employer to deposit my salary into a bank account. Kasem: I see. Well, most people who need an account for their salary choose a checking account. From this account, you can pay your bills by bank transfer, or get cash from an ATM.
May Watson: Yes, that’s exactly what I need. Kasem: Then may I ask you to fill out this form? Conversation 2 Kasem: Good morning, Mr. O’Brian. What can I do for you today? Mr. O’Brian: Mr. Wattana, you remember the business I started last year? Kasem: Yes, of course. Souvenir Land – the shop you opened in the Riverfront shopping mall. I hear that it’s going well. Mr. O’Brian: Yes, it is. So I want to open another shop, and I’d like the bank to give me a loan. There’s a shop in Siam Square which is empty. I can take it over if the bank can lend me the money. Kasem: How much do you want to borrow, Mr. O’Brian? Mr. O’Brian: I guess I need about a million baht. Kasem: Mr. O’Brian, you need to talk to Ms. Mookjai. She’s the person that deals with loans. I’ll get her secretary to give you an appointment right away. Mr. O’Brian: OK, she was the person I spoke to last time. She was very helpful. Conversation 3 Tourist: Excuse me. Do you speak English? Kasem: Yes, I do. How can I help you? Tourist: Can you help me to change some money, please? Kasem: Yes, of course. Is it cash or traveler’s checks? Tourist: I have US dollars traveler’s checks. Kasem: And what amount are you changing? Tourist: The checks I have are for 100 dollars each. I’d like to change 200 dollars. What’s the exchange rate? Kasem: It’s 32 baht to the dollar. Please sign the checks and take them to the desk over there. My colleague will take care of you. Tourist: Thanks.
