What is money? The pound, the dollar or the franc are actually just like a gram or a kilometre. The difference is that you can exchange money for something . A five-pound note may buy a book, a huge bag of sweets, or a couple of cinema tickets. But the note itself is only a printed of paper which costs almost nothing to make.
Thousands of years ago, people didn’t have money as we know it. There were no banks or even shops. In those days, Mr. Green, the farmer exchanged the corn he had grown for Mr. Hive’s honey. This was an exchange arranged the two people, each of whom had something that the other wanted. But in time, most societies invented their own “currencies” that people could exchange more. The different currencies began to join together, which is why everyone uses a national currency.

English is the first language of many people in countries outside the United Kingdom. When you meet speakers of English from around the world, you notice that they do not all speak in the same way. There are also some in the words they use, including the names of objects that are part of everyone’s daily life. Although pronunciation and are not the same everywhere, it is interesting that English speakers from opposite sides of the world can understand each other quite easily. It does not seem to matter where they learnt the language. And of course, this is one reason why speakers of other languages are keen on learning English too. If you know English, you are more to be able to study or work in all sorts of exciting places, such as the United States or Australia.

Your amazing brain
Your brain controls everything you do. It makes it possible for you to think, learn, create and feeler to blink and breathe and for your heart to beat - this fantastic-center is your brain. It is so amazing that a famous scientist once calls the most complex thing we have discovered in our universe.
Trying to make sense of the brain isn't easy. We know it’s the organ that makes us human by giving the ability to create art and language to make decisions and produce rational thought. It's also responsible for personalities, memories, movement and how we understand the world.
Can this small grey organ, which weighs less than one and a half kilos, really do so much? Amazingly, your brain contains about 109 billion microscopic cells called neurons - it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all. Whenever you laugh, think, see or move, it's because signals are racing between these neurons. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the world. And although one neuron creates only a very small amount of electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb.
So exactly how fast does your brain work? Well, imagine this: a bee lands on our foot. Neurons in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message back to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. These neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour. No computer has your brain's incredible ability to cope with the amount of information coming from your eyes, ears and other sensory organs.
But how does your brain allow you to learn things that you will use in the future? The structure of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or learn something. For example, riding a bike seems impossible at first, but soon you are able to do it. How? As you practice, your brain sends 'bike riding' messages again and again. Soon, the actions are learnt and you are able to ride a bike easily from then on.
How quickly we learn things varies from person to person, but there are some things which can help us to learn faster and, surprisingly, exercise is one of them. We know that any exercise that makes your heart beat faster is great for your body and can even help improve your mood. But we know less about the effects of exercise on learning. However, scientists have recently discovered that for a period of time after you've exercised, your body produces a chemical that makes it easier for your brain to learn. So, if you're stuck on a homework problem that is too difficult to solve, go out and play a game of football, then try the problem again. You just might discover that you're able to solve it.
