Sabaidee Caty! Sabaidee Toui! Toui: What are you going to do if you become a billionaire? Caty: If I become a billionaire I want to travel around the world. And share my fortune with you, of course! Seriously what would you do with such riches? Toui: I’d love to live next to the beach, maybe in Hawaii, and help poor people in my country. Caty: How would you do that? Toui: I’d like to develop projects to create jobs and build more hospitals in Laos. Caty: Excellent ideas. Here’s a video about an effort to put the wealth of the super-rich to work reducing poverty. Play video Oxfam calculates that at least 1.7 billion workers now live in countries where inflation is outpacing wages – meaning people are getting poorer. However, the wealth of billionaires has surged as inflation drives up food and energy prices. Oxfam is calling for windfall taxes imposed on energy companies to be extended to food companies making big profits. It also wants a tax of up to five percent on the world’s multimillionaires and billionaires. Toui: Interesting! What is wealth, Caty? Caty: Wealth is a large amount of money, property and other valuable possessions. Toui: How about inflation? Caty: Inflation is an increase in prices over time, causing a reduction in the value of money. Toui: And finally, multimillionaire? Caty: It means a person who has money and property worth several million dollars, euros, pounds etc. Toui: Cool. Now it’s pronunciation time. Toui: That’s all for today. Thank you, Caty! Caty: You’re welcome! ບັນດາທ່ານມາຮອດນີ້ລາຍການຂອງພວກເຮົາກໍໄດ້ໝົດແລ້ວ. ພົບກັນໃໝ່ໃນຄັ້ງຕໍ່ໄປ, ສະບາຍດີ.
