Lesson 11 One good turn deserves another
I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Tony said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!

1) One good turn deserve another 谚语，对别人的善意或帮助作出相应回报。
2) The difference between salary and wages:
Salary is a fixed amount paid or transferred to the employees at regular intervals for their performance and productivity, at the end of the month whereas wages are hourly or daily-based payment given to the labour for the amount of work finished in a day.
The main difference between salary and wages lies in the fact that salary is fixed, i.e. it is predetermined and agreed between the employer and employee, while wages are not fixed, as it varies depending on the performance of the labour. This article presents you the important differences between salary and wages in tabular form.
