3. Discussion. Read this newspaper extract about an old lady who left
£500,000 when she died.
a) What is strange about the way the old lady lived?
b) Why do you think she chose to live like that? Give your opinions.
c) Do you prefer to spend or to save money? Give reasons, and say: either what you
spend your money on; or what (if anything) you are saving your money for.
When she died she had lived alone in a six-bedroom home for fourteen
years, and dressed in second-hand clothes from jumble sales, She only went out
twice a day - early in the morning, to look for useful things on the beach to take
home, and then for a session on the fruit machines later on, Among the rubbish
found in her house after her death were her diaries. She had written down every
penny she spent, including jumble sale bargains, and anything she won on the fruit
machines.
Grocer, George Bumstead, 70, says: 'Every Monday she used to come into
my shop and buy her weekly order of six eggs, seven bananas and seven pounds of
potatoes. The order never changed, and all she had to cook with was an old gas
cooker with two rings - the oven didn't work.'
The irony of the story is that this eccentric old lady, who used to love
watching American soap operas, could have lived in the extravagant style of her
favourite soap opera, Dallas, if she had wanted to. (from Titbits)

The history of money.
The history of money is a story spanning thousands of years. Related to
this, Numismatics is the scientific study of money and its history in all its varied
forms.
The English word "money" dates to c.1290, "coinage, metal currency,"
from old French moneie, from Latin monēta "mint, coinage," from Monēta = "she
who warns", a title of the Roman goddess Juno, as money was coined in or near the
Capitoline Temple of Juno in Rome.
Money itself must be a scarce good. Many items have been used as money
include a toll
-
free telephone number, an address to write for more inform
ation, or a
suggestion that people visit a local dealer.
Artwork. An ad can consist of just a headline and copy, but ads usually have
a strong graphic element. This may be a striking photo, a line drawing, or a computer -
generated design. Artwork attracts the reader to the ad and breaks up large blocks of
type.
Layout. The headline, copy, and graphic elements need to be integrated
into an attractive, easy-to-read advertisement. A layout can be a mock-up of the
planned ad, or it can be a detailed comprehensive that includes the actual type and
artwork that will be used.
