Can Money Buy Happiness? Exploring the Connection Between Wealth and Well-being

This unit encourages learners to discuss the relationship between money and happiness. Through thought-provoking questions and activities, participants explore how much money is necessary for happiness and whether more wealth correlates with increased satisfaction. Engaging in pair discussions about what they would do with a million dollars allows for personal reflection on values and priorities. Key vocabulary such as "acquire," "circumstances," and "pleasure" helps further understanding of this complex topic and enhances listening and speaking skills.
