Unit 168 Part A English

 

1    My sister's working right now, so I won't bother her.
2    If she weren't working so hard, I would ask her about our loan.
3    If I'm borrowing money from the bank, I should include interest ...
4    as if the payments were part of my expenditure budget.
5    If I had been making use of these payments for my job...
6    I could have been declaring the expenses as credit.
7    Always care about your flowers and your friends.
8    Otherwise they'll fade, and soon your house will be empty.
9    Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,
10    than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
11    Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
