Saving money as a student can be challenging, but it's vital for managing finances and preparing for unexpected
expenses. Here are some practical tips to help students save money effectively:
Firstly, creating a budget is essential. Track your income and expenses to understand where your money goes each
month. This helps in identifying areas where you can cut back, such as eating out less or reducing entertainment
expenses.
Secondly, take advantage of student discounts. Many stores, restaurants, and services offer discounts for students,
which can lead to significant savings over time. Always carry your student ID and don‟t hesitate to ask if a student
discount is available.
Another useful tip is to buy used textbooks or opt for digital versions when possible. Textbooks can be incredibly
expensive, so buying used books from older students or online platforms can help reduce this major expense.
Additionally, consider using public transportation or cycling instead of owning a car. This not only saves money on gas,
insurance, and maintenance but is also better for the environment.
Lastly, try to avoid using credit cards for unnecessary purchases. It's easy to overspend when you're not using cash,
so stick to your budget and save for items you really need instead of buying on impulse.

17. Creating a budget involves monitoring both your income and expenses to identify potential savings.
18. Student discounts are rarely available and generally do not provide much savings.
19. Buying used textbooks or digital versions can help students save money on educational materials.
20. Owning a car is more cost-effective for students than using public transportation or cycling.
21. What is one of the key benefits of creating a budget for students?
A. It guarantees increased income.
B. It eliminates the need for student discounts.
C. It helps in tracking income and identifying areas to cut expenses.
D. It allows unlimited spending on entertainment.
22. Which of the following is a recommended way for students to save on textbook costs?
A. Rent or buy used textbooks. B. Avoid using textbooks altogether.
C. Photocopy textbooks from other students. D. Always buy new textbooks from the school bookstore.
III. Choose the word / phrase (A, B, C or D) that best fits the space in the following passage. (1.5 pts)
