Trade, tariffs, rich and poor countries, sentence 1

Countries trade because each is good at different things: bananas need about 27°C and Britain's summer days are often around 20°C, so hot countries grow bananas while others make cars or medicines, and they swap.

Who acts: Countries, each, bananas, summer days, hot countries, others · What happens: trade, be, need, grow, make, swap · To what, where: different things, 27, 20, bananas, cars
