Money

T. Let’s turn to the history of money.

P.1. Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for storing wealth. Almost every society now has a money economy based on coins and paper bills of one kind or another. However, this has not always been true.

P.2. In primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the marketplace that they considered to be of equal value.

P.3. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system, because people’s precise needs seldom coincided. People needed more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods which the members of a society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, feathers, skulls, salt, elephant tusks and tobacco have all been used.

P.4. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.

P.5. A coin is a piece of metal, usually, disc shaped, which bears lettering, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value-of actual; metal content.

P.6. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really “promises to pay”. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world.

P.7. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where “money” in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used.

T. There are a lot of proverbs and sayings about money. Some of them are written on the blackboard. Your task is to match the beginnings with the endings of the proverbs and explain the meaning from your point of view or give Russian or Ukrainian equivalents.

2. Lend your money… a) nor a lender be;

3. Money spent on the brain… b) is penny earned;

4. Neither a borrower… c) and lose your friend;

5. Money makes… d) the world go around;

6. A penny saved… e) can make people happier;

7. Money is a good servant… f) never spent in a vain;

8. Money is as dangerous… g) as enemies;

9. No amount of money… h) but a bad muster.

1. Listening

T. today people have so many ways of paying for things they buy. There have always been lots of methods of payment. In early times people exchanged one thing for another. It was called barter. The system of barter was not very convenient because it produced lots of problems. In the 7^th century BC the ancient Greeks introduced coins made of gold and silver. Now people could exchange money for things. Coins last a long time, but they were heavy. That’s why people invented banknotes. Today many of us use cheque and credit or other kinds of plastic cards.
