b) Make the notes of the following passage.

Money has various uses in the modern world. It is a measure of the value of goods and
services, a means of exchanging such goods and services, and a way to store up buying power, so
that one can use it later

As a measure of value, it is of the greatest use. If I work in an office, how can my

employer know what to pay me for my services, if there is no general recognised measure of
value? He may decide to pay me a certain number of loaves of bread each week, but then I shall
have to exchange some of these loaves for other things that I need, and how am I to know how
many loaves I should give for a pair of shoes or for the rent of my house, for example? Money
gives us a very useful means of measuring such relative values. My services are worth, let us say
£ 7 a week to my employer, my rent is thirty shillings a week, a pair of shoes costs a pound, and
so on

Money is also of very great use as a means of exchanging goods and services. If for
example, I am a shoemaker, it will not be at all convenient to me always to have to exchange the
shoes I make for other goods or service. A doctor may want to buy a pair of shoes from me, for
example, but I may not need medical care, so he will then have to find something else that I
want, or look for another shoemaker who needs him. Without money, the tax-collector would
come back to his office with an extraordinary collection of objects.
Considered as a means of storing up buying power money has good and bad points. It
can more easily be kept a long time than such things as food which rots, or buildings, which
slowly fall to pieces or machines, which rust. It takes up very little space and if you put it in a
bank, it is as safe as anything in this world can be

But modern money has some very serious disadvantages as a means of storing up buying
power In the olden days, when money was in the form of gold and silver coins, the metal in each
was really worth the amount stamped on the coin. But the modem paper money and even the
metal in most modern coins are worth very much less than the amount written on them. As a
result, the buying power of modern money can change very greatly in a short time
