In China, cloth and knives were used as money. Elephant tusks(牙), monkey tail and salt were used in some parts of the world. Rice was also a kind of money used by the people in some islands (岛). Some animals were used as money, too.
The first copper coins(硬币) were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. Different countries have used different metals for their money.

Students’ life in 50 years
I think the students’ life in 50 years will be quite different from ours today. They won’t go to school to have classes. They will stay at home to study on computers. They will ask their teachers or classmates for help by chatting on the Internet. They won’t use paper, pens or exercise books. They will go to school to do sports together. For example, they will go to school to play ball games. I don’t like that kind of life. I like to meet my teachers and classmates every day
