What is the Difference Between Checking and Savings Accounts?

The main difference between checking and savings accounts is that checking accounts are primarily for accessing your money for daily use while savings accounts are primarily for saving money. Checking accounts are considered “transactional,” meaning that they allow you to access your money when and where you need it. While both allow you to access your money, you may consider it easier to do so with checking accounts. Since these accounts are designed to give you easy access to your cash, they often come with debit cards, checks, and even offer digital payment options. In contrast, savings accounts have a limit on the number of withdrawals you can make each month.

While checking accounts are convenient for daily cash needs, it’s important to remember that they may be age restricted. Most banks won’t allow people under the age of 18 to open a checking account without a parent or legal guardian as a co-owner of the account. Before opening a checking account, make sure that its terms fit your financial needs and your lifestyle.

When it comes to setting aside money for a longterm need or goal, you should consider a savings account. Savings accounts are designed to hold money over a long period of time to help you save for larger goals (rather than everyday purchases). As your money stays in the account, it will accrue interest and grow over time. This means that you will need to visit your bank, set up a transfer online, or make an ATM withdrawal to access your money.

Keeping some of your money in a savings account is a great way to set it aside for emergencies or large purchases – its limited access will keep you from spending it on day-to-day necessities. There are also dedicated savings accounts for kids, though a parent or guardian is usually required as a joint owner.

According to the text, checking accounts are considered ‘transactional’. This feature points to the specific ways in which this type of account is meant to be used by clients. In practice, what does the term ‘transactional’ mean in this context?

A

It means that transactions are operations which can only be done once users reach the age of 18 or older and become financially responsible adults, otherwise checking accounts will remain age restricted, without exceptions.

B

It means that there are very little restrictions on the number of transactions a user can make, though banks still recommend users to use debit cards and checks instead of digital payment options for safety

C

It means that users are allowed to make transactions whenever and wherever they need, while also being provided with other means of accessing their money such as debit cards, checks and digital payment options.

D

It means that once users sign a formal agreement stating that they won’t use the account for their daily cash needs, banks will provide them with additional options to access their money and easily make transactions.

E

It means that transactions will only be allowed if a parent or legal guardian is present as a co-owner when users are under the age of 18, and in these cases additional payment options won’t be provided.

Read the excerpt below and choose the only alternative with a plausible interpretation of its content:
“Savings accounts are designed to hold money over a long period of time to help you save for larger goals (rather than everyday purchases). As your money stays in the account, it will accrue interest and grow over time. This means that you will need to visit your bank, set up a transfer online, or make an ATM withdrawal to access your money.”

A

The efficacy of a savings account is contingent upon the users’ willingness to be more mindful when making their daily purchases using the account, since their larger life goals are at stake.

B

To use a savings account, users must prioritize life goals and restrict their everyday purchases to a minimum, except for when the accrued interest justifies superfluous spending.

C

Savings accounts are subject to more restrictions than checking accounts since they are less flexible on giving users access to their money, which means they are mostly aimed at the wealthy.

D

In order for users to access their money from a savings account, it is necessary for them to either go to the bank personally, set up a transfer online or make an ATM withdrawal.

E

To withdraw money from a savings account, users must agree to the condition that their money may stop accruing interest and growing over time for a short period.

Pay close attention to the terms/idioms that are underlined in the five following sentences:
I. While both allow you to access your money, you may consider it easier to do so with checking accounts (1^st paragraph). II. In contrast, savings accounts have a limit on the number of withdrawals you can make each month (1^st paragraph). III. Most banks won’t allow people under the age of 18 to open a checking account without a parent or legal guardian as a co-owner of the account (2^nd paragraph). IV. When it comes to setting aside money for a long-term need or goal, you should consider a savings account (3^rd paragraph). V. There are also dedicated savings accounts for kids, though a parent or guardian is usually required as a joint owner (4^th paragraph).
Now, choose the alternative that classifies these terms correctly and matches them with an appropriate synonym.

A

In sentence I, the term “while” is used as a conjunction to connect two contrasting ideas and it could be replaced by “rather than” with no loss in meaning.

B

In sentence II, the idiom “in contrast” is being used to say that the following idea is very different from the previous one, and it could be replaced by “notwithstanding” with no loss in meaning.

C

In sentence III, the term “without” is used as a preposition and it could be replaced by “alongside” with no loss in meaning.

D

In sentence IV, the idiom “when it comes to” is being used to identify the topic that is being talked about, and it could be replaced by “regarding” with no loss in meaning.

E

In sentence V, the term “though” is used as a conjunction, and it could be replaced by “furthermore” with no loss in meaning.

IT HELP DESK

Working the IT help desk can be a great entry-level job. As a help desk professional, your core responsibilities are to provide technical help and support; that could mean setting up and repairing computers or responding to a customer’s question about how to use their computer, as well as performing routine maintenance of a company’s computer networks and internet systems or teaching staff how to use new technologies. The job requires deep computer knowledge and good technical and interpersonal skills. But what if you want more? Additional credentials and advanced degrees can help you move beyond the IT help desk. Here are three career paths to consider.

(i) Cloud and systems administrator – Network and systems administration is a natural next step from the IT help desk. Organizations need reliable computer networks, so there’s great demand for skilled professionals who can manage, administer, and protect computer systems. (ii) Network ops and security expert - Cybersecurity is a top-of-mind concern in every sector and industry. IT professionals with expert training in network operations and security systems are in high demand. (iii) IT manager – Yes, you will need plenty of experience, credentials, and certifications; still, you can get to a managerial or executive-level position from the IT help desk. It can be tough to see the top through all those steps of the stair, but the top is closer than you think.

Software development, computer network architecture, and computer programming are other possible professions those working on the IT help desk or in other entry-level IT positions can pursue. In today’s ever-changing job marketplace, there’s no one career pathway.

Q2052578 Inglês

Texto associado

Mining trucks are monstrous machines that guzzle fuel at a scarcely believable rate. Weighing 220 tonnes, they can get through 134 litres of diesel every hour. Little wonder then that mining companies are focusing their attention on these vehicles as the first step to reducing their carbon footprint.

Anglo American, in collaboration with several partners, is retrofitting a mining haul truck with hydrogen power technology. A first of its kind, the monster mining vehicle is being piloted in Limpopo, South Africa, at the firm’s Mogalakwena platinum mine. Due to be launched early 2022, the truck will be hybrid, with a hydrogen fuel cell providing roughly half of the power and a battery pack the other half.

Instead of having a tank of diesel that powers the motor, hydrogen enters the fuel cell and mixes with oxygen to create water in a chemical reaction catalysed by platinum, which generates the electricity needed to power the motors that drive the wheels. By rolling out this technology across its global truck fleet, Anglo American says it will be “taking the equivalent of half a million diesel cars ‘off the road”.

The construction sector, which includes mining, accounted for 39% of energy-related CO2 emissions in 2017, according to Davide Sabbadin, from the European Environmental Bureau. He says the sector will need to reduce its energy consumption by a third if it hopes to be compatible with the Paris Agreement. “While electric-powered vehicles, generally speaking, are less damaging to the environment than internal combustion engines on a life cycle analysis, this does not mean that they are green,” he says. It all hinges on how the hydrogen is produced. Some hydrogen is created using fossil fuels, which of course means there are substantial emissions as a result. “We should refrain from presenting hydrogen as a technological solution to all problems… all forms of hydrogen come at an environmental cost – water use, impacts on nature,” says Mr Sabbadin.

Q2052348 Inglês

Texto associado

Mining trucks are monstrous machines that guzzle fuel at a scarcely believable rate. Weighing 220 tonnes, they can get through 134 litres of diesel every hour. Little wonder then that mining companies are focusing their attention on these vehicles as the first step to reducing their carbon footprint.

Anglo American, in collaboration with several partners, is retrofitting a mining haul truck with hydrogen power technology. A first of its kind, the monster mining vehicle is being piloted in Limpopo, South Africa, at the firm’s Mogalakwena platinum mine. Due to be launched early 2022, the truck will be hybrid, with a hydrogen fuel cell providing roughly half of the power and a battery pack the other half.

Instead of having a tank of diesel that powers the motor, hydrogen enters the fuel cell and mixes with oxygen to create water in a chemical reaction catalysed by platinum, which generates the electricity needed to power the motors that drive the wheels. By rolling out this technology across its global truck fleet, Anglo American says it will be “taking the equivalent of half a million diesel cars ‘off the road”.

The construction sector, which includes mining, accounted for 39% of energy-related CO2 emissions in 2017, according to Davide Sabbadin, from the European Environmental Bureau. He says the sector will need to reduce its energy consumption by a third if it hopes to be compatible with the Paris Agreement. “While electric-powered vehicles, generally speaking, are less damaging to the environment than internal combustion engines on a life cycle analysis, this does not mean that they are green,” he says. It all hinges on how the hydrogen is produced. Some hydrogen is created using fossil fuels, which of course means there are substantial emissions as a result. “We should refrain from presenting hydrogen as a technological solution to all problems… all forms of hydrogen come at an environmental cost – water use, impacts on nature,” says Mr Sabbadin.
