Hi everyone , I am student , working on GED prepration english my secound language , I am tring to influent my writing skills, I need your helpe this is example of essignment , I despratly need your coment or correct:: Famous singer

"Rihanna is a very talented singer with amazing skills. She has been a remarkable phenomenon of this century. Rihanna has attracted many fans and lot of media attention because of her unique clothing style, emotional lyrics and innovative dance moves.

Rihanna has beautiful hair, which makes her stand out in the media spotlight. She has been so popular that many girls around the world follow here wardrobe. I like her curly, braided hair as it gives her a traditional look which makes me more perceptive to her singing.

In my opinion, Rihanna is the best singer in the world, as she's able to make anyone fall in love with her songs. She has the talent to sing to a variety of musical rhythms. Not only is she popular in the US, but is also known worldwide.

One thing that strikes me about Rihanna is her ability to mix African and American dance forms to come up with a new style of her own. For example, 'Where have you been' is one of her works that reflects African folk dance. This combined with the gift of an agile body allows here to be very acrobatic on the stage. Thus drawing big crowds to her concerts.

Rihanna is not only a talented singer but also a good human being. These qualities make her a popular artist of this century."

Thanks!

Comment by Damon Anderson on October 14, 2010 at 10:28pm: Many former Fellows have gone on to become Regional English Language Officers with the U.S. Department of State, while others have become international consultants and trainers. The Fellowship can be a spring board/stepping stone to a great career path.
