　　5.Good morning,Ladies and Gentleman.

　　Welcome to our school.My name is Andrew Brown.

　　I am a history teacher.I'll give you a quick introduction to the school before I show you around.

　　Our school is called a "free school".That means that the pupils are free to choose what and how they want to learn.

　　The school opens at 9a.m.,but the children can arrive when they like.

　　Most of them are in school by ten.

　　Between nine and ten most people are in the living room and the kitchen downstairs.

　　Some of the children haven't had much breakfast,so there is a lot of eating,tea_drinking and talking.

　　This is a time when children and teachers can work out what they are to do for the day.

　　Now if you look through the door of that big room you will see those children reading and drawing there.

　　Some have chosen to do maths.They are on the third floor with Miss Green.

　　Four of the older boys are now on the way to the Cardrome to have their driving lessons.

　　Several children are in the kitchen helping Miss Cabell with lunch.

　　The children take turns doing this.They all enjoy doing it.

　　After lunch it's someone else's job to do the washing-up.

　　This job is unpopular and not many of them like to do it.

　　After lunch the children go on with what they've been doing until 4:30.

　　On Monday and Thursdays the school is also open in the evenings until 9:00p.m..

　　On Wednesday afternoon there is a school meeting.

　　On Friday we sometimes take the children to a cinema or a museum.

　　The school is also open every weekend for those children who want to come.

　　6.Good morning everybody.My topic for today is "Early Money."

　　I'm going to tell you something about money used in the early days.

　　To be honest,we know little about how early people came to use money,but we do know some of the things which have been used as money.

　　In some parts of Asia,tea was used for money.The American Indians used nuts and other things.

　　Perhaps the mos common money of all was an animal found some places today,cows are still used as a kink of money.

　　So you see,things highly valued by everybody may serve as money.

　　The Chinese were the first people to use coins as money.

　　Oh,sorry,you don't know the word?Well,it is spelled C-O-I-N.

　　Here are some coins of the past.You can come over and have a look.
