4 I. Lead in ( 15 minutes)
Ask the students to discuss in pairs whether they would like to
earn lots of money to enjoy themselves or to make positive
contributions to society, and then ask some pairs to tell their
opinions to the whole class.
Q1: What does the businessman think of money?
A: He thinks that money is God.
Q2. What is the old man’s view on the relationship between
money and life?
A: He thinks that one buys money with his or her life.
Q3. What attitude do most people hold toward money and
life?
A: Most people are so obsessed with money that they spend
their whole life fixated on it.
Q4. Does money mean God or life to you? Why?
A: To me, money is not God, nor is it life. It is just something
we need in life. Life is much more important than money
because we have it only once.

1. Background Information ( 5 minutes)
1) God
God is the center and focus of religious faith, a holy being or
ultimate reality to whom worship and prayer are addressed.
Especially in monotheistic religions, God is considered the creator
or source of everything that exists and is spoken of in terms of
perfect attributes ― for instance, infinitude, immutability, eternity,
goodness, knowledge (omniscience), and power (omnipotence).
Most religions traditionally ascribe to God certain human
characteristics that can be understood either literally or
metaphorically, such as will, love, anger, and forgiveness.

2) Money
Money, any medium of exchange that is widely accepted in
payment for goods and services and in settlement of debts. Money
also serves as a standard of value for measuring the relative worth of
different goods and services. The number of units of money required
to buy a commodity is the price of the commodity.
