Mr John claimed that he has a problem with spending excessively. It started during his time in National Service when he had a monthly allowance. It soon took a plunge when he completed his National service, as there was no more monthly allowance to feed his habit.
He felt the pinch of his habit due to no more monthly allowance, which resulted in him to reduce his expenditure and now slowly to try to kick the habit out.
I might have this bad habit as well, so I feel Mr John. Maybe you can give him some advice on monetary management. A great and simple reported speech
ReplyDeleteSome grammatical error spotted:
"due to no more monthly allowance" -> "when he had no more monthly allowance" flows more naturally
