Сегодня Катя слушала подкаст про инвестиции. Она подумала: - Я много работаю. Но у меня мало денег. Я трачу деньги на хобби и на путешествия, на новую одежду и на модную обувь. Я думаю, что мне нужно инвестировать и получать доход! Может быть, купить акции? Конечно, это выгодно, но риск очень большой. Или лучше купить несколько облигаций? Говорят, что облигации - надёжная инвестиция. Но доход маленький. Нет, самая лучшая инвестиция – квартира. Хорошая идея - купить квартиру, а потом сдавать в аренду. Но квартира стоит дорого. Где взять деньги? Как трудно выбрать, во что инвестировать… 

Vocabulaire
инвестиции – investissements
надёжная инвестиция -  bon investissement
рискованная инвестиция - investissement risqué
лучшая инвестиция - le meilleur investissement
инвестировать – investir
тратить деньги -dépenser de l'argent
получать/получить доход - gagner de l'argent 
покупать акции/облигации - acheter  des actions / des obligations  
купить квартиру - acheter un appartement
сдавать в аренду квартиру -  louer un appartement

По-русски легко!

Короткие истории. 10. Инвестировать или тратить?

Listening Practice in Turkish

Listening Practice in Turkish -3 (A2 Level)

Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years. 'We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my social life completely.'

Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. 'I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,' he says. 'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?' So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. 'I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'

Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life?
