Young Min Kim，a journalist from Students around the world，interviews an American university student，Lisa Conroy．They talk about living on a student budget（預算）

Young Min: Thanks for talking with me today，Lisa．Tell us a little bit about yourself．

Lisa: Well，I’m twenty-one，and I’m a junior 2 at a university in Chicago．

Young Min: How are you paying for your college education?

Lisa: The costs for every semester are about $15，000．At the start of each semester my parents pay the $10，000 tuition（學費）．I also get $2，000 in financial aid（助學金）．I have to make money for the rest by myself．

Young Min: How do you do that?

Lisa: I have a part-time job at a hotel．I work about twenty hours a week，and make about $320．

Young Min: How do you spend that money?

Lisa: It helps to pay for my room．It also pays for things like my mobile phone transportation and clothes．

Lisa: That’s true! I keep my budget carefully so I don’t have to borrow．I don’t like to borrow money from people．

Young Min: You don’t have much money for fun，do you?

Lisa: I hardly ever go to the movies．My roommate and I usually rent（租） videos．

     and share the cost, so it’s cheaper.

Young Min: How else do you save money?

Lisa: I don’t go to restaurants．I make meals with my roommates so it’s cheaper to eat．I try to walk or ride my bicycle to college．Oh ，and I buy a lot of my clothes at second-hand stores．You can find some very cheap，decent clothes in those stores．

Young Min: So much for this．Thank you．

Lisa: You are welcome!
