Money

There is no doubt that money, in the form that we know it today, (1) is what keeps modern economic life functioning. Yet, throughout history, money, in whatever form, has provided people (2) with the ability to buy (3) and / or sell goods.
Thousands of years (4) ago, civilizations (5) used to rely (6) on the barter system as a way of exchanging goods. Within this system a person had to exchange one thing for another. This meant that the two parties involved had to (7) make / reach an agreement as to what they thought their products were worth. Items such (8) as wheat, tobacco and livestock have all been used as money at one time or another.

Last week I made a suggestion to my cousin Alex, offering

to take him to an amusement park. He was very excited

because it was his favourite place. However, from the moment I

picked him up, he was very noisy, which surprised me since

his behavior was normally very different. At one point,

while waiting to get on a ride, he disappeared. Luckily, the manager,

who was very helpful, found him an hour later amongst a crowd. Apparently, Alex had seen a famous basketball player and

wanted his autograph. He apologized to me immediately but I

was so angry at him that we left. It was then that I made the

decision never to take Alex out again.
