This is an article talking about the author’s feeling towards Chicago. The author moved to Chicago for several months, and she feels loving Chicago very much. Her friends in LA persuaded her to rethink of it, because of the nasty weather in Chicago. However, the author insists on her opinion, so she prefer to be killed by the weather there, just for being in a good company.

6. Your opinion about the article (2 - 3 sentences)

I believe that someone loves to live somewhere for several reasons. In the case, she like the way of life in a city, someone prefers to live in a big city rather than in the country, because they like the rush pace life in there, furthermore, it is very convenient. On the other hand, staying at the country would enjoy the relaxing life. This is a simple life. All the happiness, sometimes, comes from simplify.

Cheap Chic

By tribune newspapers

Wednesday, November 16, 2011    Pg.34

           The latest cheap chic collaboration is Versace for H&M. The collaboration hits stores on Thursday. You can imagine there is going to be a charge. The skintight pants and mini dresses are on trend for spring. The collection is a great hit of varieties with the slinky black with gold hardware evoking Gianni’s famous safety pin dress from 1994, made famous by Elizabeth Hurley. The studded leather jacket looks as if it is very fit, and the silk mini skirt with Versace’s logo.   The accessories are fun too, including bracelets and chokers, sculpted flower rings, silk scarves and purses with heavy chain handles. And there’s some men’s stuff too, including a black-and-white op art print shirt and matching pants that are nothing short of amazing for the guy who dates to wear!   H&M makes clothes for the masses.

           The Versace for H&M has delicate design and has varied styles. I like their stuff very much. The clothes are very pretty and very comfortable. The accessories with clothes match perfectly. What attracts the attention of the people is the price, they are always cheap and the stores are everywhere. So let’s go to shopping at there.

Celeb Imports

By Los Angeles Times

The article talks about Hollywood because these days it is getting better acquainted with the varied talents of Mexico’s most popular actors like Eugenio Derbez (Mexico’s most popular comic actor) and Blanca Soto (a former Miss Mexico and alternates between English-language movie parts and Spanish-language telenovelas). Hollywood has two important reasons to involve Mexican actors in this country. First of all, United States has 50 million of Latinos or some 16 percent of the total population, and such numbers has led to a flourishing Spanish-language and bilingual entertainment market, creating opportunities not only for U.S born Latinos but also for bilingual Latin American actors. Finally, meanwhile the Mexican movie industry went into a production slump generating only 25 feature films in 2005. That number rebounded last year to 68 according to the Camara Nacional de la Industria Cinematografica.

In my opinion, we need to look two important points about it. First, I believe that to have Latinos inside Hollywood is a motive to be proud about our national achieved goals like professional actors. Last of all, I think that Latino youth population makes it “inevitable” that more Latin American will be drawn to find work in Hollywood.
