Speaking Question 4

Now listen to part of a lecture in a psychology class.

Professor

So a good example of this is something that happened to me. When I was younger, I had an office job and I worked there every day during the week.

And I made a regular salary from that. But also I worked as a waiter at a restaurant each weekend, so I made some money from doing that.

Now, around this time, I decided I wanted to buy a house. So every time I got my regular paycheck from my job at the office, I’d save as much of the money from it as I could after I bought the basic stuff I needed. But with the money I made as a waiter that was another story.

Somehow I guess that money seemed separate from the money I earned at my regular job. So I used the money I made at the restaurant to go out to dinner, to buy videos or CDs, things I didn’t really need.

But the thing is, it ended up taking me a really long time to save up all the money I needed to buy the house. And looking back now, I realize I could have bought the house a lot sooner if only I had saved more of the money I made working at the restaurant.” “
