第 25 课:insurance 保险 - 1

A: I've just take out an insurance policy. Are you insured?

B: yes, I am. I have life insurance and my home and its contents are also insured.

A; I took out a life insurance policy and make my wife beneficiary.

B: that's a good idea. You are a fireman and it can be a dangerous job.

A: I need to make sure that my wife will be financially secure if I die.

B; I can terminate my life insurance policy when I retire and use the money as a pension.

A; that's one of the conditions of my policy too. It covers you if you die before you retire and when you retire.

B; did you have to take a medical before you could take out the policy?

B: yes, I did. It was one of the conditions of the insurance policy. The insurance company need to assess the risk.
