DICTATION

Money

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

buy food, clothes and hundreds of other things. In the past, many different things were used as

money. People on Pacific islands once exchanged

shells for goods. The Chinese used cloth and

knives. In Africa, elephant tusks or salt were used. Even today, some people in Africa are still paid

in salt. Coins were first invented by the Chinese. Originally, they were round pieces of metal with

a hole in the center, so that a piece of string could keep them together. This made doing business

much

easier,

but

people

still

found

coins

inconvenient

to

carry

when

they

wanted

to

buy

something expensive. To solve this problem, the Chinese again came up with the solution. They

began to use paper money for coins. Now paper notes are used throughout the world.
