英語ストーリー(english story)
Title: A Budget Business Trip
Ken works at a small travel agency. One day, his boss asked him to go on a business trip to Osaka. Ken was excited but also worried about the cost. He wanted to find a cheap and easy way to complete the trip.
First, he searched for a cheap ticket online. He found one that was very affordable and booked it right away. Next, he looked for a low-cost hotel. He found a place that was clean and near the station. Although it was not fancy, it was inexpensive and convenient.
During the trip, Ken also looked for cheap meals. He ate at local restaurants that served delicious food at a cheap price. He was happy that he could eat well without spending much money.
At the meeting, Ken used an economical way to present his ideas. He didn’t rent expensive equipment; instead, he used his laptop and some printed materials.
When Ken returned to the office, his boss praised him. “You did a great job,” she said. “You managed everything on a budget.”
Ken learned that being smart about money means choosing affordable options, not just cheap goods. Cheap and smart can go together.
