新外研选择性必修Book 4
Unit 4 Everyday economics
Money is indeed important, but money cannot buy everything. A miser may think that “money talks”, but if you only give your attention to making money, you may lose many things, such as health, friendship and love. I don’t think we should regard money as everything. Money is just a tool that can help us solve problems or enable us to live a comfortable life. What we should do is to use it appropriately and not become misers. This way, all of us can lead a happier life.
