关于保险的英语对话
A:Good morning. I’d like to ask some questions about your insurance policies.
B:Of course. Please sit down. How many I help you?
A:I bought a house recently and would like to insure it and its content.
B:I see. Here’s a pamphlet about our home insurance policy. We’ve named our policy ”umbrella”. May I ask how much you paid for your home and where you live? These are the two main thing that decide how much your premiums are.
A:I understand. I live in the Oakfield area and paid $100,000 for my home.
B:Iet me just check that on my computer. Oaksfield is a low risk area, so your premiums will probably be around $100 a month. The other thing to take into account is deductibles.
A:In this pamphlet it says that the minimum amount for deductibles is $2000. what does that mean exactly?
B:It means That the first $2000 of any claim you make must be paid by you. The insurance policy covers any amount above that, up to the agreed limit.
A:Oh, I see. That’s fine. What is the advantage of having higher deductibles?
B:If you have higher deductibles, your premium are lower, because you will pay more of the claim and we will pay less.
A:It seems that I should do some calculations before deciding. I presume that the insurance period can be for as long as we aggress.
B:We initially sign one-year policies with our policyholders. These are renewable after the first year.
A:If I have a claim, how long does it take to make a settlement? I’ve heard that with some insurance companies, it can take monthes.
B:That is of great concern to out clients. We aim to satisfy all claims within a month, but we can’t guarantee that.
