homework
now the voa special english program :words and the stories. many people believe that money makes the world go around,others believe that money buys happiness,i do not agree with either ider,but i do admit that money can make people do strange things.let me tell you about a person i once knew who would like to play card games for money.he liked to gamble.
my friend Bob had a problem because he liked to gamble at all costs,he would play at anytime at any price to take a part of the game such as the poker,my friend would like to add in up,he would pay a small amount of money at the beginning of the game,Bob always played with cold hard cash,only coins and dollar bills,sometimes my friend would clean up,he would win a lot of money on one card game,he told me that one day he would break the bank,what feelings it must be to win all the money at the gambling table,other times my friend would simply break even,he neither won nor lose money,but sometimes Bob would lose his shirt,he would lose all the money he had,he took a betting at the gambling table,when this happened,my friend would have to go in the whole,he would go into debt and owe people money.
recently,Bob turned to a crime after losing all his money,in his job,he caped the book for a small business,he supervized the records of money earned and spent by the company,although my friend was usually honest,he decided to cook the books,he illegally change the financial records of this company,this dorminated him to make a fast buck,my friend makes quick easy money dishonestly,i never thought Bob would have sticky fingers,he did not seem like a thief and stole money,but some people will do anything for lot of money.
Bob used the money stolen from the company to gamble again,this time,he cashed in ,he made a lot of money,quickly he was back on his feet,he had returned to good financial health,his company,however,ended up in the red,it lost more money than it earned,the company was no longer profitable,it did not take long before my friend's dishonesty was discovered,the company investigated and charged him with stealing,Bob tried to pass the buck,he tried to blame someone else for the deficit,his lie didn't work,however,he ended up in the jail,now i would bet my bottom buck that my friend will never gamble again,i would bet all i have he learnt his lesson from gambling. |
