Lesson 18

Preparation

Needs and Wants

Have you asked yourself what is the
difference of wants from needs? Needs are
something that is necessary for man’s survival.
There are physical needs, which include water
and food. The needs to belong and be loved
by others fall under social. Those were just
some examples that must be nourished. If those necessities were not met, life
cycle would be disrupted. On the other hand, the things man desires are called
wants. It is possible to live without them. But still they hold a value of motivating
man to strive harder.

Grammar

An apostrophe and the letter s are often used to show possession.

► ‘s
Examples:
Jeanne’s bag is from Italy.
It’s Charles’ graduation today.
