0:01 in this history illustrated video i'm
0:03 going to cover
0:04 two words import and export the reason
0:06 why i'm covering two of them and this is
0:08 because they're directly related to one
0:10 another in fact they're opposites and if
0:13 you ever hear the word import or export
0:15 i want you to first and foremost think
0:17 of this word here
0:18 trade it has everything to do with
0:20 trading people have to get things they
0:22 don't need from other places that do
0:24 have them and if i
0:27 import something i want you to focus on
0:29 this because i have had a student or two
0:31 in class say that import sounds a lot
0:33 like in
0:35 and export let's focus on that over here
0:38 sounds a little bit like exit
0:40 so
0:42 if i import something i'm bringing
0:43 something in and if i export something i
0:46 am sending something out or it's exiting
0:49 all right so if you can keep that in
0:51 mind for a minute i'm going to give you
0:52 a little bit of an example here so let's
0:54 turn those off and let's look at our
0:57 country here here's the united states
0:59 the united states often has to
1:01 import things so it would have to
1:04 bring things in import
1:07 or it also exports things it has to send
1:10 things out so let's look at something
1:11 that the united states sends a lot of
1:13 out um we are a very big producer of
1:17 food so we make a lot of it we make way
1:19 more than we can ever really eat so we
1:21 send it out we export it so we export
1:25 food in the united states as one of our
1:27 biggest exports but we also have to
1:29 import many things and many students
1:32 will often point out that everything
1:34 they see says made in china so let's
1:35 look at china for example
1:37 china over here would trade with the
1:40 united states they would export things
1:42 they send things out
1:44 one of the things they are very well
1:45 known for is
1:47 manufacturing in general they make
1:49 things they have a lot of factories and
1:50 if they export something they would send
1:52 it out that means we're bringing it in
1:55 that means we import
1:58 their exports so
2:01 they are directly related i want you to
2:02 remember the import
2:04 sounds like in export has eggs on it
2:06 like the word exit and they're directly
2:09 related and they have everything to do
2:10 with trade
