DICTATION

MONEY

Money is accepted across the world as payment for goods or services. People use mo

ney to buy food, clothes and hundreds of other things. In the past, many different thi

ngs were used as money. People on Pacific islands once exchanged shells for goods. T

he Chinese used cloth and knives. In Africa, elephant tusks or salt were used. Even to

day, some people in Africa are still paid in salt. Coins were first invented by the Chine

se. Originally, they were round pieces of metal with a hole in the center, so that a pie

ce of string could keep them together. This made doing business much easier, but pe

ople still found coins inconvenient to carry when they wanted to buy something expe

nsive. To solve this problem, the Chinese again came up with the solution. They bega

n to use paper money for coins. Now paper notes are used throughout the world. No

w you have two minutes to check through your work.
