Lead-in

Money is quite useful as a help to us to get what we need. However, if we let money rule our lives, it will make us miserable.

Learning objectives:

Learn about the characteristics of a news report

Master the necessary skills of making inferences

Express attitude to money and develop correct money values

Views on money

Is money the basis of a happy life? Why or why not?

Money is not the basis of a happy life, as many people are able to find joy in simple things of life, such as nature, their work, and their families.

On the other hand, it can be quite hard to live without money, so realistically speaking, having enough money to meet the daily needs can help a person pay more attention to things that bring joy.

With a lot of money, one can live a better life materially.

Material things just bring temporary and short-term happiness.

Spiritual happiness is more important than what money can buy.

No one can deny the important role money plays in our daily life.

Money is not everything!

As people often say, “Money can buy a house but it cannot buy a family; money can buy food but it cannot buy appetite; money can buy a wife but it cannot buy true love…”
