Т.: Good morning! I’m sure you know this song. Do you like it? I think it is eternal problem: money, the shortage of money. If only we had enough money! Today we are going to speak about money, not only about dollars and pounds, but about our “wooden” roubles too. Today we’ll learn some new facts from the history of money and we’ll try to answer some very important and controversial questions: “Does money really make the world go round? Can money make us happier?”. We’ll revise some grammar material.

T.: People work for money, they sometimes make friends for money, they love, live and die, for money. Why does money rule the world, why do people need money? Where can we get it and spend it. These are the questions everyone would like to answer. First of all I’d like you to answer some my questions:

• What is money?
• What is currency?
• What are the main uses of money?

Предполагаемые ответы учащихся:
