Today we’ll learn some new facts from the history of money and we’ll try to answer some very important and controversial questions: “Does money really make the world go round? Can money make us happier?” We’ll revise some grammar material.

love, live and die, for money. Why does money rule the world, why do people need money?

So you’ve got too little (money)

today’s conversation was rather serious.
