I think celebrating “Mother’s Day” once a year is a very good idea.

So we decided to have a special celebration of Mother’s Day.
We thought it a fine idea. We knew how much Mother did for
us and so we decided that we should do everything we could
to make Mother happy.
We decided to decorate the house
with flowers. We asked Mother to arrange the decoration
because she always does it on holidays. My sisters got new
hats for such an important day. We wanted to buy a new hat
for Mother too, but she said that she liked her old hat
better and didn’t want a new one.
Well, after breakfast we
decided to take Mother for a beautiful drive away into the
country. Mother is never able to go to the country because
she is busy in the house nearly all the time.
But then we changed the plan a little.
Father decided to take Mother fishing.
When everything was ready for the trip we asked Mother to prepare some sandwiches.

Well, when the car came to the door, we saw that there was
not enough room in it for us all. Father said that he could
stay at home and work in the garden. Then the two girls,
Anne and Mary, said that they could stay at home, but as
they had new hats, it would be a pity if no one looked at
them.
In the end it was decided that Mother could stay at home and make dinner. Mother doesn’t like fishing.
So we all drove away, and Mother stood and watched us from the verandah as long as she could see us.

Well, we had a very nice day in the country. Father caught
a lot of big fish and the girls met some friends and they
talked about hats. It was quite late when we got back.
At
last everything was ready and we sat down to a wonderful
dinner. Mother got up and down many times during dinner; she
brought things from the kitchen and carried the dishes away.

When the dinner was over all of us wanted to help Mother
to wash the dishes. But Mother said that she could do it
herself, and so we let her because we wanted to make her
happy.
It was quite late when it was all over, and we
all kissed Mother before going to bed. She said it had been
the most wonderful day in her life.

Switzerland, they can use the money they earn to import

Swiss chocolate — or to pay for Kuwaiti oil or a vacation in Hawaii. The basic idea of

international trade and investment is simple: each country produces goods or services that can be

either consumed at home or exported to other countries.

The main difference between domestic trade and international trade is the use of foreign

currencies to pay for the goods and services crossing international borders. Although global trade

is often added up in U.S. dollars, the trading itself involves various currencies. Japanese

videocassette recorder is paid for in German marks in Berlin, and German cars are paid for in

U.S. dollars in Boston. Indian tea, Brazilian coffee, and American films are sold around the

world in currencies as diverse as Turkish liras and Mexican pesos.

Whenever a country imports or exports goods and services, there is a resulting flow of funds:

money returns to the exporting nation, and money flows out of the importing nation. Trade and

investment is a two-way street that, with a minimum of trade barriers, usually makes everyone

better off.

In a interlinked global economy, consumers are given the opportunity to buy the best products at

the best prices. By opening up markets, a government allows its citizens to produce and export

those things they are best at and to import the rest, choosing from whatever the world has to

offer.

Some trade barriers will always exist as long as any two countries have different sets of laws.

However, when a country decides to protect its economy by erecting artificial trade barriers, the

result is often damaging to everyone, including those people whose barriers were meant to

protect.

The Great Depression of the 1930s, for example, spread around the world when the United States

decided to erect trade barriers to protect local producers. As other countries retaliated, trade

plumpered, jobs were lost, and the world entered into a long period of economic decline.

tourist development a priority. It has spent money on building hotels,
airports, safari huts and all the other requirements for tourists from
developed countries. The planes landing at Nairobi airport bring rich tourists
from Europe, North America and Japan. Some come for Kenya's fine beaches. Most
are more interested in the wildlife of East Africa. Lions, zebras, elephants and
hippopotamuses are among the attractions.

Kenya's tourist industry earns the country over £200 million per year,
but tourism does bring problems for a developing country. Only 75 per cent of
the money spent by tourists stays in Kenya. The rest is taken by foreign
companies which provide the hotels and the safaris. The tourists drink Scotch
whisky or Russian vodka. The hotels are fitted
with American air-conditioning and Japanese lifts. The electrical system is
Dutch and the fire control system is Italian. These imports cost Kenya vital
foreign exchange. Kenya borrowed money from overseas to pay for the tourist
developments, and much of the profits from tourism are spent in repaying the
loans. There have been several armed attacks on tourists. The bad publicity hit
in Kenya's tourist earnings because people were frightened off. It is risky to
become over-dependent upon tourism. Most of the jobs created for Kenyans are
unskilled and poorly paid. Some complain that tourism is a new form of
colonialism.
