beautiful singers today. She plays a guitar and sings with a soft, gentle style.
Her voice has an unbelievably wide range she can sing very high notes and
very low notes. And shes able to sing all types of music, from folk to jazz.
As a young girl Canadian-born Joni Mitchell taught herself to play the guitar.
Although she played quite well, Ms. Mitchell planned a career as a painter.
After she graduated from high school, she attended art classes but soon left to
try her luck as a singer. She wrote her first song Day After Day, while riding
a train to Toronto, Canada, where she hoped to find a job. It was a ballad, a
simple song that tells a story. She made up the tune by listening to the
rhythmic clacking of the train wheels.
Ms. Mitchell gets ideas for songs from her own emotions. She expresses her
feeling about life, about love and about loneliness. For more than 10 years she
has been writing and recording hit songs. Yet she feels that shes still growing
with her music. She says I feel as if my best work is still in front of me.

Globalization
We will never live in a truly global world, where geography and local culture do
not matter. Globalization is a process, not a destination. For a start, people are
sedentary. Moving about will always take time and money. Most of what we
consume cannot be traded. Since many services have to be provided on the
spot, much of the economy is set to remain local: nurses, nannies,
hairdressers, gardeners, shop assistants, fitness instructors, cleaners, and
therapists cannot ply their trade on the other side of the globe. These services
are the fastest-growing area of rich-country economy.

Bank
Britain has, traditionally, been a great commercial centre and has a highly
developed economy. Accordingly, its financial institutions are also welldeveloped and have a long history. The bank of England was founded in the
seventeenth century, and the industrial revolution encouraged the
establishment of new private banks and finance houses and numerous smaller
country banks.
Banks became necessary as money come to play a larger part in society.
Goods were exchanged for cash; labourers were paid cash wages; services
had to be paid for in cash; new businesses needed large sums money and
were prepared to pay interest. As money (rather than goods) became means of
exchange, banks became important as secure places to holds deposits, as
sources of loans, and, with the development of the cheque system, as the
medium by which goods and services could be bought and sold without cash
changing hands.
it is important to be clear about defining money. Money isnt just the coins
and notes in your pocket; it is also the amount held in bank accounts. From
the late eighteenth century onwards it was realised that time and effort were
wasted and the change of robbery or loss heightened if every transaction was
paid for in notes and coins, so, as the banks increased in number, a system of
payment by cheque was developed. Banks issued cheques to their
customers. When an account-holder made a large payment he wrote the
amount on the cheque, and the recipient placed it in bank account. Money
passed from bank to bank, and from account to account, rather than from
person to person. Each individual was thereby relieved of the burden of having
to carry large sums of money and the risk of loss was greatly reduced.
