Summative assessment for the TERM 1 1 Reading

KOLYAN 5.0 WEBCAM

Kolyan have created a new version of their popular webcam, which you can buy online. It isn’t available in shops, but you can also order it over the phone from their catalogue.

Kolyan have reduced the price. The old model cost €135, but this new version only costs €109, plus €15 more if you want a silver or gold version. The design is slightly less attractive, but it’s much better value in a competitive market.

This new model also sits at the top of your computer screen, but it’s much smaller than the old one, so you almost don’t know it’s there. You can use it with any computer because you just attach it to a flat surface.

The picture quality is also excellent, and it’s perfect for chatting online. They’ve obviously listened carefully to their customers. I sent some comments to them last year about the old model. The pictures were clear but not light enough. People who I met online thought I had dark hair, but I’m blond!

Nowadays money play a very important role in people's lives. Some people believe that happiness can be reached only with a huge wallet in your pocket, when others think that money doesn't equal happiness. Who is right? The question is controversial. Now I am going to express my point of view and debate with my opponents.

Personally, I strongly believe that you can't be happy without money nowadays. Firstly, if you're wealthy, you can get a better life and reach a new social level. Secondly, if you have money -- therefore, you've got independence and a certain amount of options. Basically, you can choose from whatever you want, and the more money you have, the better your options will be. Thirdly, you can buy some trendy clothes that makes you seem more attractive than people who can't afford them.

However, there is another opinion that money are still just a mean of payment. To begin with, you can't really buy human values and pure, sincere feelings. Also, when money become not just a mean of payment, but a goal, that's where the problems begin. Money are often a object of speculation and theft.

Undoubtedly, just money alone doesn't bring anything good. Yet, I insist that money, exactly, became the sign of a happiness and wellfare of a human being because with the help of money we can realise various and interesting projects, get a good education and just make our lives more comfortable and safe.

In conclusion, i can say that we all perceive money in our own unique way, we all act differently to its presence or absence, but we need to learn how to handle them properly.
