My favorite magazine


My favorite magazine is Non-no. It is a fashion magazine for young women. When I was a high school student, I bought it for the first time. Now, I don't buy it every month. I usually see it in the library. I can know present fashion only I can see it. Also, I have taken courses of librarian since this April. A teacher taught us that situation of the publishing. She said to us, "The publishing also struggle under the weight of a sluggish economy, so they add appendixes to books." If you go to a book store, some magazines that are added appendixes are arrayed. I knew that publishing companies are working out a strategy to raise boost sales. I will also see the magazine in the next year. (130 words)

My favorite chewing gum


My favorite chewing gum is XYLITOL the best. I can eat the gum of some flavors. Two months ago, I found a cavity in my mouth. I was so sad because I don't like to go to a dental office. I fell sick when a dentist looks at my teeth. I went there for the first time when I was about three years old. At that time, I liked to go there so much. I was pleased to go there. When I was a junior high school student, I went there to receive medical treatments. Then, I felt sick for the first time. In this month, I noticed that the cavity was lost. I was so happy, but I may have some cavities, so I will go three to receive as dental examination. I chew the gum to prevent cavity. (139 words)

Princess Diana


I read "Princess Diana". Diana was born on 1th July in 1961 as Frances and Johnnie Spencer's third daughter. Her mother, Frances ran away with a man, Peter Shand Kydd when Diana was only six years old. Diana has an little brother, Charles. She and He were a loving brother and sister.When her parents separated, her grandma looked after her. But she was so kind, she died in 1972. In her schooldays, she liked English and painting. She was good at dancing and swimming the best. Also, she began to take part in the school's charity programme. She visited old or ill people in the town near the school and she talked to them and helped with their shopping. Her job was to look after bodies and small children. She loved children.



When Prince Charles was thirty-two years old, he was taking a longtime to choose his wife. Diana's sister, Sarah was his girlfriend. He was twelve years older that Diana. They met at a county house party for the first time when Diana was sixteen years old. Her sister, Jane married to Robert Fellowes, the Queen's personal secretary. When Charles and Diana decided to marry, he gave her a beautiful blue ring. Although he had a fiancee, Diana, he often telephoned a woman
who was his old girlfriend Camilla Parker-Bowles.

On 29th July in 1981, they married in St Paul’s Cathedral, London even though she felt uneasy. In Britain, people were glad of their marriage. Diana was popular because she was young and beautiful. People also became interested in her clothes. She had a boy in St Mary’s Hospital, London on 21th June in 1982. But Charles wanted to name the baby Arthur, she preferred William. They gave him the names William Arthur Philip Lous on 3th August. About two three years later, she had another baby on 15th September in1984. He was named Harry.

While Diana spent busy days as princess of Charles, she began to work with charities. She began to meet people with terrible illnesses like AIDS. At that time, many people thought they could catch ALDS by touching someone. Diana held the hand of a man with AIDS. She showed that the view wasn’t true. After that she began to look too thin even before she marries. She had an eating illness. Even though her body condition was bad, Charles was giving Camilla presents and telephoned her privately. The mother of her grandmother also had a royal lover, King Edward VII. She and he were the same age. When she was young, she has married to Andrew Parker-Bowles. When Charles and Diana were on holiday in Switzerland with a group of friends, snow came down from the mountains and killed Hugh Lindsay who is one of their best friends. She is Sarah, and she and Lindsay got married few months and she was having a baby. And then Diana decided to help herself and she went to see a special doctor with her eating illness. In six months, the doctor visited her every week and her body condition recovered.

On 29th March in 1992, her father died. She came back to England from Austria. Prince Charles also came back there with her, but she went to her father’s funeral alone. After that she went together with two men. In 1993, recordings of phone conversations between Charles and Camilla appeared. They were still lovers. After Charles and Diana visited Korea, they were separating.
She took two sons to visit sick people in hospitals because she thought they need to understand some of the country’s problems. He went to Eton, one of the top schools in the country. He gave her the idea that selling a lot of her dresses for charity. She openly talked to reporter Martin Bashir about her life. In 1994, she visited India. She became friends with Mother Teresa who was famous for her work that to help poor people. In 1997, she has a new boyfriend, Dodi Al Fayed who was forty-two years old and a film-maker. They spent holidays. They were chased by the paparazzi. While they went back to Dodi’s house, the car hit a wall. The crash killed him and the driver, Henri Paul soon. The bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones was alive. Diana was very badly hurt and she was taken to a hospital, but she died. Her funeral was on Saturday, 6th September in 1997. Thousands of bunches of flowers were offered outside the Kensington palace by a lot of people. The look of the funeral was projected on a bug screen and many people watched.

I am strongly impressed by Diana. Her spirit of charity was so excellent. If I think I want to help people, putting the idea into practice is difficult. She is my respected woman. (793 words)

My favorite park

My favorite park is Hachiouji Chuou Park the best. It is so large and good. I think that you don't know where it is. When I was a child, I played with my friends at the park. It has a large ground. When I was about six years old, I ran with my friends in a short time. After few minutes, I was chased by a big dog that was a Labrador retriever. I was afraid, so I continued to run about for two minutes. An owner of the dog said to me, "My dog wants to play with you, so it chases you. Stop." And I heard that, I stopped to run. It took a near view of me. In me blog, I said that I like Labrador retrievers the best. Taking advantage of the memory, I have come to like Labrador retrievers. (145 words)

WOMEN IN BUISINESS




I read “WOMEN IN BUSINESS”. Five women, Coco Chanel, Hanae Mori, Anita Roddick, Oprah Winfrey and Madonna’s lives are written by David Evans.
In 1910, Coco Chanel opened her first shop in Paris when she was only twenty-seven years old. After she graduated from a school, she worked as a dressmaker in a short period. After that, she tried to become a singer in a nightclub. The name of the nightclub was ‘Coco’. She was given the name. She had many friends and one of them was a big black moustache, Boy Capel. She received financial assistance from him. She made not only clothes but also jewelry and perfume. The name of perfume was Chanel No.5. It is the most successful perfume around the world.
Hanae Mori is a Japanese designer and she had met Coco Chanel in Coco’s office in 1961. She had a dream of becoming a designer like Coco Chanel. After two years, she began to run her design company. It had grown a five-billion-dollar business only about thirty years. His father wanted her to become a doctor, but she wanted to study art. As a result, her parents agreed that she would study literature at a university in Tokyo. Before she graduated from the school, she had fallen in love with Ken Mori who was rich. His family run a factory that made cloth. Soon, they married. She had shops in Japan and Paris and so on. She is the Japanese designer to become an international success.
Anita Roddick began to run The Body Shop in 1976. She thought that business is not just about making money and she tried to sell cosmetics cheaply and simply. She had met Gordon Roddick and she married to him. They had two daughters, but Gordon didn’t have a regular job. Because they didn’t have money enough, they began to go into the hotel business and next Roddick decided to buy a restaurant. But the business of restaurant was so hard. Also, he had a dream of a riding a horse from Buenos Aires to New York. He left his family for two years and Anita decided to go into new business. The Body Shop was opening somewhere. In 1984, she and Gordon decided to sell shares in the company at the London Stock Exchange because The Body Shop needed more money to continue grow. After eight years, when she was forty-two years old, she was a millionaire. She made not only a lot of money but also she ran campaigns to save rare animals and to help people that had been wrongly put in prison. Also, she ran a campaign to stop the burning of trees in the forests of Brazil.
Oprah Winfrey was born in poor family and she had had a tough childhood. In the early 1970s, she worked as a newsreader for small radio and TV stations in the south of the U.S. In January 1984, her talk show started and it was a hit immediately. One day, she got a call from Steven Spielberg. It was a request to perform in a film, “The Color Purple”. She wanted to perform in it, so she was ready to leave her job with TV station. But Jeffrey Jacobs who was a her manager had other ideas. It was the way that give her a break of several weeks, so she was able to work on The Color Purple. Her business continued to expand in many kinds of areas of the entertainment industry. She has become richer and richer. I think that she will become American’s first black billionaire.
Since the middle of the 1980s, Madonna had been the world’s top female star. In 1978, when she was nineteen-year-old, she went to New York City. She wanted to be rich and a star. But she grew up in ordinary family in Pontiac in Michigan and she had only thirty-five dollars in her purse. An American TV company called MTV (Music Television) began to broadcast pop videos to teenagers and young people across the U.S. At that time, Freddy Demann was thought that the best manager in the pop music industry. She found out his address and walked straight in to his office and performed her songs in front of him. He and she made a hit. It was her second song, “Holiday”. Also, he gave her an opportunity to act in a Hollywood film. In addition, she had used her success to build a large international company that makes big profits.

I impressed with sticking to their beliefs. (760 words)
