Dialogue to do with economics
Hello! I have just written the following dialogue and would like someone to correct it. I need it to be fairly formal. I'll be thankful for any help. Here's the dialogue.
A. As far as I know, students' incomes are different, as they often get money from their parents or
as an allowance in university. Fewer students have savings accounts and receive interest on them.
B. I totally agree with you. What is more, nowadays the majority of students has temporary jobs,
receiving certain benefits, which allows them to expand their sources of income.
A. It is an interesting fact that some enterprising young people have their own businesses and are
self-employed - that is to say, they receive income after paying all the expenses of their
businesses. The number of those who use rent on someone's property as their additional income, is
growing.
B. In other words, if a student has acquired good knowledge of how people make their living, this
will help him to increase his own income.
A. Exactly! You cannot put it any better! This is when the time comes to evaluate (and sometimes to
measure in terms of money), the knowledge of economics!
C. I generally agree with you but sometimes students have more than one source of income. And only
a small portion of this type of income is spent on paying for education.
A. I cannot agree with you on this point. Yet, the vast majority of students do not get either
wage, or interest on savings accounts, or income from business activity. The principal source of
students' income is parents' help or an allowance. Furthemore, you cannot relate the latter to
constant payments, as it depends on examination results.
C. You might be right. Nonetheless, it is necessary to distinguish between income and wealth.
A. What do you mean?
C. It is a well-known fact that income is no wealth at all. You can use wealth for receiving
income, for instance, as rent, interest on savings account, or income from some corporation's
equity. Therefore, students' sources of income depend on their families' sources of welfare.

No, they aren't. What I have posted is called a dialogue in my text-book. I don't know why the athrours of the text-book decided to name this piece of writing a 'dialogue'. I know that it isn't actually a dialogue. Just correct this 'dialogue' as if it were a usual topic on Economics.

Frankly, I'm not sure what to do to fix this thing, Villain. The initial phrases all seem out of place, and some of the turns are non sequitors. It looks as if you were asked to incorporate a lot of terms that cannot really be squeezed into one discussion. Well, here is my effort:
A. As far as I know, students' incomes are different. They often get money from their parents, or as a

Hello Mister Micawber! First of all, I'd like to thank you for fixing this thing. I quite agree with you about the stupid structure of this dialogue. You're absolutely right that what I've posted here doesn't even remotely resemble a dialogue, converstaion, or whatever. But I'm not to blame because my task is to do a translation of this thing from Russian into English. I believe you understand tha
