It recognises that money has a cost (interest), so that one would prefer to have a certain amount of money, say £10 today to having £10 a year from now. If there is an interest rate of 20% when the money is invested, £10 today wil

Scotland is perhaps the best-known country without its own indepence in the Word. This tiny country fought for its own indepence, and visualization many years.

I think it means that everybody is welcome. But the statement shows us that wealthy countries should have open door policy. It is really a good idea?
A first thing against this statement is about people who v
When we go shopping , we can go either to a big department store or to the shop which specializes in some extra goods, e.g.:

My favourite shop is a self-service shop Křib, because is near my home. When I go in I put a basket or a trolley. Opposite to me there is a corner with bread
