Learning objectives
In this lesson, we will be able to:
Understand and retell the key content of the conversation about the definition and functions of money, including how money serves as a medium of exchange and its impact on people's lives.
Through reading the conversation and doing the sentence - combining exercises, students will improve their reading comprehension skills, especially in extracting information about the concept of money and identifying grammatical structures
By discussing the value of money and things more precious than money, students will develop a rational attitude towards money, understanding that while money is important, it is not the most valuable thing.
