Reference version:
It is much less common for people to carry cash in the West than it is for people to carry cash in China. Often it is not safe to have large amounts of cash on hand in the West.
Most people use cheques or credit cards to avoid carrying cash with them. Cheques are commonly used to pay rent, for utilities, and telephone bills and can also be used to make purchases while credit cards are mainly used to make purchases.
Credit cards are pieces of plastic, usually 5.5cm. by 8.5cm. They are issued by banks and stores that want people to spend more money. When purchasing something, the buyer will give his credit card to the seller. The seller will check the information on the card and record it, accept the card instead of accepting money. The seller will give the buyer a receipt and another receipt goes to the bank. The bank will then send a bill to the buyer, usually after 30 days.
