 A:    Well that was an interesting documentary!


 B:     For sure! I didn’t really understand some ofthe

       technical jargon 1 they used inthe film when they

       talked about social security in the US.


 A:     Like what?


 B:    Well, they mentioned how people put away money

        in something called a 401K?


 A:    Yeah, I know it sounds weird 2, but a 401k is a type

       of retirement 3 plan that allows employees to save

       and invest for their own retirement Through a you

       can authorize 4 your employer to deduct 5 a certain

       amount of money from your paycheck and invest

        it inthe plan Everyone tries to contribute as much

       as possible so that when you retire, you can rest

        peacefully on your nest egg.


 B:    That’s interesting and logical I guess. In my coun-

       try,  we also have to contribute to a government-

        run retirement fund, but most people don’t really

       trust  itso  they  just  invest  in  properties  or  things

        like that.


 A:    That seems a bit unstable 6 don’t you think?
