Bank Application

We spent the whole afternoon in the city centre to apply for the bank card. That's very terrible. "Little Fat", "Big Bird", "Master Huo" and Wang Shengyang accompanied with me so we can just got a family ticket to get on a bus. All of us chose the “NatWest” bank when we applied for the school proof through the internet. But because of choosing the different branch, “Little Fat”, “Big Bird” and I went to the “Birmingham City Centre” bank together. And the other two went to the “New street” bank. So we must separate when the bus stopped.

I was the first one to be served when we went into the bank. But when I knew that the proof can’t be accepted, I tried my best to explain everything to that woman. She meant that because of no address below the name, they can’t accept the proof from school. But the address is printed in the middle of the paper. They had been printed but weren't printed on the right place. So she said she can't accept this one. I deemed that the bank in UK were very rigid. Unfortunately, she couldn’t be persuaded.

“Master Huo” met the same problem in the other bank branch so we called him to come here. But it was very strange that “Little Fat” and “Big Bird” did’t have this problem. They were just be served by the other manager after I went into the room and he said our proof can be accepted. Then we apply for the card one by one. It took such a long time that we can see the man was very tired finally.

We asked him lots of details about “NatWest” bank and got much useful information. I began to have confidence on my spoken language. From my perspective, if we want to practice our listening and speaking more, we must communicate with local people more and try our best to look for chances.

I will get the card in about ten days! That's very cool!
