People use money to buy food, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need. When they
work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money used today is made of metal or paper. But in ancient (古代的) time people often used
all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells (贝壳).
In China, cloth and knives were used as money. Elephant tusks (象牙), monkey tails and salt were used
in some pans of Africa (非洲). Rice was also a kind of money used by the ancient people in some islands.
Cows and other animals were used as money, too.
The first copper coins (铜币) were made in China. They were round and had a square (方形) hole in the
centre. Different countries had used different metals for their money. Later sonic countries began to make
coins of gold and silver (银). But gold and silver were heavy to carry when people need a lot of coins to buy
something expensive. The Chinese were the first to use paper money. The first paper money looked more
like a note from one paper to another than the paper money used today.

| Dear Leis, I read in my magazine that you are looking for a pen pal, so I'm writing to say hello. My name's Alice Nichols and I'm 16. I live in Hania in Greece, but my family comes from England. Hania is a beautiful old town near the island of Crete. In summer the town is full of tourists. I'm a student at a private school. I've been at the same school for five years now, so I know it very well. Most of the time I like going to school, but there are some things I can't stand doing-like PE. I enjoy playing sports, but I don't like doing exercises! My favorite subjects are geography and English. I often go to the beach in my free time. I love just sitting around and talking to friends. I'm getting better at understanding boys, but I hate listening to hours of talk about football. It's just so boring! What's life like in your town? I'd love to hear all about your family and friends. Have you got an e-mail address? It's easier to keep in touch that way. I am looking forward to hearing from you! Best wishes! Alice |
