Questions 18 to 20 are based on the following speech.

A credit card can be your friend because it can get you through unexpected emergencies. Today most credit cards are issued by banks or other financial institutions in cooperation with Visa International or Master-Card International. The unique feature of credit cards is that they extend a line of credit to the cardholders. For the consumer, credit cards permit the purchase of goods and services even when the funds are insufficient. If there is a problem with the products or services you buy with your credit card, you have an opportunity to withhold payment by asking the credit card company to “charge back” to the retailer until the dispute is settled. It’s important to choose a credit card carefully because terms and conditions vary widely. Annual fees in America range from $15 to $75 a year, but some credit card companies charge no annual fees at all. If you don’t pay off your credit card transactions in full each month, look for the card with the lowest interest rate. Interest rates generally range from 12 to 18 percent, though it is possible to find cards with lower rates. However, a credit card can be your enemy because it is an invitation to purchase items you do not really need.
