　　If you went to a bank to open a savings account， you would go through almost the same procedures followed in applying for a checking account.
　　____2____ Then you would be given a passbook in which your initial deposit would be recorded. All deposits and withdrawals from your account are entered into your passbook. ____3____ With a regular passbook savings account， you would be able to withdraw money wherever you needed it. All you would have to do is fill out a withdrawal order and present it， along with your passbook to the teller.
　　All banks pay interest on savings accounts. ____4____ Banks also pay interest at different times. ____5____ Suppose， for example， that on January 1， you deposited $ 1，000 in a bank that paid 4 1/2 percent interest semiannually. By July 1，you would have earned $ 22.50 interest. This interest would automatically be credited to your account; and of you left it in the bank， along with your original deposit， you would receive interest on $ 1，022.50 for the next six-month period. That is， your interest would be compounded.
