Using an online calculator (aami.com.au)

(Note: please DO NOT submit or buy any insurance from this site - I take no responsibility if you do - the use of the calculator is for study purposes only)




In class this week we started studying insurance. How much do you pay for home insurance? What other sorts of insurance are there? We discussed and compared home contents insurance -- are you paying too much?

Use your dictionary to look up these words:

premiums

excess

fees and charges

installments

cover

You can see me in class about the two books we are using this term for self-study -- English Grammar in Use 3rd Edition (Raymond Murphy) and English Vocabulary in Use Advanced (McCarthy & O'Dell). I will give you a copy of Dale's Sound Pattern Spelling Book.
