born in July 31th 1964, she is a British woman writer. She loved to study when 
she was young. She was a shy girl. She graduated from Exeter University in France and created famous book series, Harry Potter.
I chose this person bacause my favirite book is Harry Potter. I thought this woman is very great ,more created.She is very hardworking and courageous.
In 1990, at the age of 25 rowling, sitting on the Manchester, the king's cross station in London on the train was delayed. In the few hours of waiting for, harry potter \"zips\" broke into her life. Through the window, as if to see a thin black hair and wore glasses to her young wizard in smile, then no paper at hand is not the pen of the her, she began to unconstrained imagination to imagine harry potter story. Ten years later, \"harry potter\" became popular global fairy tale characters. 1)Inspiration on the train to appear 2)Old love nest in cafes writing 3)A also not spending money 4)Not modify writing structure

Brown Bear, Katmai National Park, Alaska


I chose this big brown bear, because it's so cute .I like cute animals and the sunshine. This brown bear has shotr, curly brown hair, big brown ears, small eyes and arrogant nose. It's tall, heavy, muscular and looks young. When he sleeps, you can see the light dimple. This picture shows us the bear lies on the hard  ground and has strong legs  that support his body, maybe he uses his sharp, fleshly claws to ward off the dazzling sunshine. In my opinion, I think the brown bear is clever and alert. When  he meets danger he runs, look at he hair  hind leg. Although the bear is sleeping, he is  also cautions. In my experience, I don't think  the bear  is clumsy, Sometimes they are cowardly and daring. He is always curious by nature. Through the Internet I learned that if you are in danger by a bear, you just lie down and don't breathe bacause he doesn't like to  eat dead bodies.

Love Story


Love Story (Taylor Swift song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Love Story"





















"Love Story" is a country pop song performed by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The song was written by Swift and produced by Nathan Chapman, alongside Swift. It was released on September 12, 2008 by Big Machine Records, as the lead single from Swift's second studio album Fearless. The song was written about a love interest of Swift's who was not popular among Swift's family and friends. Because of the scenario, Swift related to the plot of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1597) and used it as a source of inspiration to compose the song. However, she replaced Romeo and Juliet's original tragic conclusion with a happy ending. It is a midtempo song with a dreamy tenor, while the melody continually builds up. The lyrics have Swift narrating from the perspective of Juliet Capulet.
The song was a critical success with critics complimenting Swift's writing style and the song's plot. It was also a commercial success, selling over 6.5 million copies worldwide since January 2010, therefore establishing itself among of the best-selling singles of all time. In the United States, the song peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 5 million digital downloads, becoming Swift's best-selling single to date. It was also deemed one of the best-selling singles in the United States and was once the best-selling country single of all time. The single was certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Internationally, "Love Story" became Swift's first and only number one single in Australia thus far and certified triple platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).
The song's accompanying music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy, who directed all of Swift's prior videos. The video is a period piece that drew influences from Medieval, Renaissance, and Pride and Prejudice (1813) eras. It follows Swift and model Justin Gaston as they meet in a university campus and imagine themselves in a prior era. "Love Story" was promoted through numerous live performances. The song was included on Swift's first and second headlining tours, the Fearless Tour (2009–10) and the Speak Now World Tour (2011), respectively; the song was used as the final performance on the latter. "Love Story" has been covered by several artists, including Joe McElderry and Forever the Sickest Kids.

Newspaper Artcle Summary and Response

Summary:Headphones,walking are dangerous combination.Pedestrians distracted don't hear horns or sirens before being hit.The study illustrate the dangers of using devices such as music players with headphones.In 74 percent of the cases,police or eyewitness reports said the pedestrian had headphones on when hit.The study authors pointed to two likely culprits that may be a factor in what they call "the possible association between headphone use and pedestrian injury"More comprehensive information on such accidents is needed,the researchers said, to see which groups of peope may be most risk.Limitations of the study included relying on media reporting,"which likely overpublishes tragic events but vastly under-publishes nonfatal cases,"according to the study.

Personal opinion : I think this artcle is very useful for me ,because I often listen to music use my headphone when I hang out the street.But I don't think so is very dangerous ,it can kill somebody.Just you can keep the voice lower and look at front. Thtough my dictionary ,I understand this article amost,they said have another factors,could have been involved in the acidents,such as pedestrians being intoxicated or drivers being at fault.So ,maybe I'mnot intoxicated enough,I can serious treat this things.I hope this article could help you.
