#12 Know Your World: The true size of Africa

Meanwhile Asia is ageing and Africa is the youngest and may soon become the most dynamic (=active, developing fast) continent.

#32 Know Your World: The illusion of choice
▶️ Our supermarkets are full of colourful products. We have a dazzling (=very impressive) choice. Or do we? Yes and no. Most products are actually made by the same few companies. They hide behind different brands, grab shelf space, control prices, advertise heavily, buy up competitors and even make the cheaper no-name products just to keep other companies out.
Europe and America are very much in the hands of these big companies and they’re doing everything to get bigger in other parts of the world, too.
