Suggestions for successors

I will advise for you. Please make your effort in your blog.

Book review2-16★Jeniffer Lopez

I like Jeniffer Lopez very much. So I choose this book.
Her movies are on TV. Her music is on the radio. She is a Hollywood star and successful singer. Today, she is the number one Latin actress in the United States. She is not only beautiful. She is interesting, too. She went to the Holy Family Catholic School in New York. It is a good school and she is good student. The school years go quickly. Jennifer is not a little girl now. She goes to her dance school every day. She works well. Then she starts to look far a job. It is 1988. there were many good dancers in New York. They were all looking for work, but there aren’t many jobs. She is wrong. The theater show, Golden Musicals of Broadway, wants dancers. She goes for an audition and gets a job. The show goes to Europe. Then, after five months, she starts a job with a new show, Synchronicity. This shows goes to Japan.
She is a very good dancer now. And she is beautiful, too. She is fan. And she is Latin. She gets some interesting work in music. She dances on the music video of famous singers, and she meets important people in the music business.
“ I am always going to be Latina. That is me.”
Jeniffer’s success is good for Latin Americans. She knows that. Before the 1990s, “Latin” was about people with little money and life. In music and in movies, Latin performers are suddenly very popular. Julio Iglesias, Ricky Martin, and Marc Anthony are all big names. And now there are women, too. And who is number one? Jennifer Lopez, of course.

Book review2-15★David Beckham

I read “ David Beckham”. Do you know him?? I think most people know him.
He is captain of England and famous for his Number 7 shirt at Manchester United , is now playing for Real Madrid.
In 1975, David Beckham came into the world in Leytonstone, in London. His parents were big foot ball fans. Every Christmas little David had a new football and a new football shirts from his father. It was always a Manchester United shirt. The family lived in London, but his father was a very big fan of “the reds”. David wasn’t very good at school. Schoolwork wasn’t interesting or important to him. But he liked playing football. He played with a ball every weekend and every evening after school. His father was good teacher for him. David was small and shin. But his legs were strong. He did long kicks and short kicks, again and again every day. When he was 16, he was a boy player for Manchester United. He became good football player.
