Hey Yousef, have you seen the new mobile phone that Akiv bought yesterday?
Its camera is amazing.
Yes Amelia, I saw it today. It looks incredible.
Don't you want to buy the same smartphone?
You were also looking for smartphone lately.
Yes I was, but I can't even think about buying it right now.
I'm trying to save up for something.
Oh really? What are you saving for?
My old laptop is out of order, so I'm saving money for a new one.
Okay, how much do you need?
I need about 800 pounds.
I've already saved up for 100 pounds by cutting back on daily coffees and eating at home more.
From where are you planning to buy it?
I have already checked it online. I will buy it online.
That's great. Good luck with the laptop.
Thank you.

Hey Emma, have you seen that new car which John bought yesterday?
The new Audi Q7 was unbelievable.

But we need to focus on our savings plan, remember?
The vacation fund.
Yes, I remember the trip to Italy.
But I am unable to stop thinking about that car.
Our old car is not working properly.
Yes, I know. And we'll buy a new one, but not that expensive dot first think about of our plan.
We are saving money for a month in Switzerland.
Yes, I know. I was just imagining to buy that car.
What's the plan again?
We are already saving 500 pounds a month and transferring into our bank account.
We are controlling our expenses.
Okay, good. It's important to remember that a new car is not important at the moment.

We'll get there.

Okay, done.
