Legend of Babe Ruth
Babe Ruth was a famous American baseball player. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on February 6, 1895. In 1914, he joined the Boston Red Sox. While Babe Ruth is remembered as one of the greatest hitters, he was also an adept pitcher. In 1920, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Ruth to the New York Yankees and he began to play for the New York Yankees. From 1921 to 1934, he led the Yankees to seven championships. Ruth's lifetime total of 714 home runs was once considered one of Major League Baseball's "unbreakable" records, but Hank Aaron broke it in 1974. In 1936, he elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Ruth became an American icon, and even though he died nearly 60 years ago his name is still one of the most famous in all of American sports.

About Elizabeth Blackwell
Great person Elizabeth Blackwell was the first female medical doctor in the United States. On this account, she was one of the greatest person that ever lived. For this reason, I'd like to introduce her biography. She was born in Bristol, England in February 3, 1821. Hers parents had emigrated to New York City from England in order to gain complete freedom in 1832. Hers parents always brought up strictly so, she graduated from Geneva Medical School in Geneva, New York in 1849. But she opened the Women's Medical College of the New York Infirmary, as a woman, because she could not get a job in a hospital in 1853. Then, she determined that she opened the Women's Medical College of the New York Infirmary in 1868. Finally, she assisted in founding the London School of Medicine for Women in 1875. In 1910, she died in Hastings, England. Even though she passed away, we remembered that she was the primary female medical doctor in the United States.

At 10 a.m. I meet colleagues to notice my request which is nessary for report at conference room. After finishing meeting, I search data for the report. Usually I lunch with my team colleagues at 12:00. In the afternoon, I call other division’s colleagues and ask to submit data. I outline comprehensive report as soon as I gather data.(Actually, It takes several days to finish to write final report.) Immediately after finishing report, I report to the boss. If the work is finished on time, I would relatively early go to home, review is continued. And unfortunately I've got stacks of work to do.

Difficulty in learning language

There are many difficulties to learn a new language. First of all, it requires lots of time and efforts. For example, when we learn English, we have to memorize many things and study everyday because it needs many repetitive practice.

Second, we have to learn new rules such as grammar, structure and pronunciation. Third, we have to know new cultures concerned. Because language contain nation's unique history and cultures. Forth, if we learn new language, good environment is important. For instance, if we can always have a opportunity to meet foreigner, it helps to enhance our language ability. But adequate conditions are not always allowed to us. To meet good teacher and select book one's own level are significant. For these reason, learning a new language request a lot of money and energy. Last, but perhaps this is most important, studying new language requires strong will and interest. Perhaps this would be driving force to help continuing study in the difficulties. Because of these reasons, peoples feel many difficulties to learn a language.
