2. some economic news from Scotland.

I have listened a podcast from BBC Radio Scotland Program. This podcast is about the Investing in America. I have listened it twice and to my mind I understand it good. I have heard some words which I had learned on my English lessons.
Graham Stewart and guests discussed investing in America and how to give employees a sense of ownership in a company. David Carrick, chief executive of Memex, which provides intelligence and information management solutions to the law enforcement, government agencies and private industry, was the first. He said that his business is rather small, as the example, there were only 20 people in Glasgow, but it was only start. Dougal Sharp, managing director of the specialist brewer Innes & Gunn was the next. His company produced beer. Dougal said that January was always a difficult month for everyone because of snow and cold. A little number of people went to pubs and had shopping they preferred to stay at home. Aaron Brickman, director of Invest in America, tells business editor Douglas Fraser about the country's efforts to attract overseas investors. So Aaron Brickman said that Scottish firms had been successfully in America for a long time. US market was global but investors don’t come because they did not know the opportunities there. The 52% of the global consumer good’s market belonged to US's consumer space. He would like to be sure that overseas investors understood the US market opportunities were successful. In fact, the UK's inverstment was the largest.
In conclusion I’d like to say that this news is rather interesting for me and it helps to understand me the economic situation in America.
