READ & LISTEN

Read:

You need money to buy things.  When you go shopping, it is important to understand and add the prices of things, know if prices are too high, count your change, understand your receipt, and communicate with the cashier if something is not correct.  You can lose money if prices are wrong or the cashier makes a mistake.  In the United States, we use cents and dollars as currency (money).
