Money was first used by kings of Lydia – the ancient Mediterranean state. They had a form of coins made of silver with 1,2 cm in diameter.

Teacher

Now, let’s summarize our lesson. I want you to tell me some words about our problem, which you hear at the beginning of the lesson. Is money the most important thing in your life?

Pupil 1

I think, money is the most important thing in my life. It’s your right to think so but I hope everyone won’t forget of such things as love and friendship which are also important in our life.

Pupil 2

As to my mind, money isn’t the most important thing in our life. My opinion is that money helps us to live but it’s not life itself.

Teacher:

Nevertheless I want to tell you that money is a good servant but a bad master and I wish money never to be your master.
