ABOUT THIS LESSON

For generations, cash has been a normal part of everyday life. Today, however, more people are paying with phones, cards and digital wallets than ever before.

This magazine-style English lesson introduces the idea of a cashless society and encourages students to examine how technology is changing the way we pay.

Students read an original article, learn useful vocabulary and discuss whether cash still has a place in our future.

FROM THE ARTICLE

Not long ago, a pocket full of coins was part of everyday life. Today, many people leave home with no cash at all — just a card or a phone. In some countries the change has been dramatic: in Sweden, only about one in ten payments is now made with cash, and some shops no longer accept it. Coins and notes, it seems, are quietly disappearing.
