  When you go abroad, what's the thing you need most? Money, of course! You'll need to go to the bank tobuy some traveler's checks. Then when you arrive at your destination, you'll have to go to a bank to cashthe checks. Every bank has a foreign exchange department. However, you'll have to speak with the teller 1 inEnglish because he or she will probably not understand Chinese.

You should, therefore, brush up on some of the words and phrases 2 that are commonly used when changingmoney at a bank. For example, you might want to know what the day's exchange rate is, or if there are anyhandling charges, etc. worried? Don't be. Our next lesson will give you a good idea of what you need to sayand how to say it.
