5. Thesis
Many people think that their money will be safe
whenever it is close to them. This idea is quite
accepted because they need it every time.
However, they don’t think what will happen to
them if they always bring their money wherever
and whenever they go. One of the best ways of
keeping money is keeping it in a bank. Saving
money in a bank benefits people in various
ways. Keeping it safe, avoiding crime, and
increasing its amount are good reasons to save
money in a bank.

help them.
