$GRAMMAR Reading: Military Bases and Money — Paragraph 1
ID: l4-s33-r-p1
READING
INTRO: Read the two paragraphs. You'll identify the topic and main idea of each next.
INTRO: Two paragraphs to read, one at a time. You'll identify the topic and main idea of each one right after reading it.
CARD: **Paragraph 1.** Military bases are like small cities. The offices and buildings are similar to the offices and buildings in town. There are houses on base for both officers and enlisted people. There are also schools for the children of those people who live on the base. There are gyms where you can work out and places to play tennis, football, and baseball. The commissary is like a large grocery store. The BX usually has just about anything else that you need. Most bases also have hospitals to take care of anyone who is sick. There's also a gas station and a garage to repair your car. Last, most bases have buses and taxis to take you where you need to go if you don't have a car.
CARD: **Paragraph 2.** Almost all the people in the world use money to buy things they need. In other times, animals and cigarettes were used as money. In some places they used animals' teeth. Today, we use coins and paper bills for money. Coins are usually small and round. Most have words, numbers, and pictures of animals, buildings, or important men and women on them. The bills also have pictures. In the U.S., the color of money is green, but in other countries the bills are many different colors—red, green, blue, orange, and purple.
