She had observed that children enjoyed playing with adult dolls as much as they did with baby dolls. She felt that dolls were more than just toys for children to play with or care for. Children should be able to play with dolls that inspired them on what they might grow up to be. The result was the Barbie doll which she created and named after her daughter, Barbara, The first Barbie doll was launched in 1959 by Mattel. It was sold at USD3 each and 351 000 dolls were sold during the first year. Today, over one billion Barbie dolls have been sold. The Popularity of this toy continues to grow. The collection of Barbie dolls now includes a family of different characters like Ken and Kelly. These dolls also come with a wide range of accessories like clothes, shoes, houses and vehicles. Among the many licensed products of Barbie are books and films. Barbie dolls have always been made to appear slim and beautiful. Some people are concerned that Barbie dolls will influence how girls think about themselves or how they should look like. Over the years, Barbie dolls have developed their image into something more than fashion models. Barbie dolls now can be seen as athletes, musicians, doctors, policewomen, businesswomen and UNICEF volunteers. Barbie dolls have been around for more than half a decade.

My Brothers, Technology and Me People often say that technology takes up too much of our time. As a result, we so interact with others, especially our family members. This is not true for me. Let me tell you why, Tam the youngest in the family. With my twin brothers away at college, I could have ended up feeling very lonely at home. Thanks to technology, I am able to see and talk to them using video calls almost every day. Sometimes, I even get to chat with their classmates and roommates, if they happen to be around. It feels like I am gaining many new friends as my brothers make more friends in college. My brothers and I also follow each other on social media like Facebook and Instagram. I can see how their college and hostel look like. Similarly, they can see what we have been doing at home or the places and events we go to such as football matches and birthday parties. I find that I lear so much more about my brothers compared to when they were at home. While one of ‘them is really good at taking photography, the other simply loves to be photographed. With technology, I communicate more with my brothers. They create a group chat just for the three of us. I write to them and they will answer whenever they are available. I have been sharing with them problems I face in my study and with friends, Through this group chat, we are able to console, encourage and share jokes privately among ourselves. Besides, my brothers insist that I must always write good English or they will not reply my messages. I have been writing so much that I'am becoming quite good at it. Even my teachers noticed that my writing has improved. In conclusion, I do not think that technology is a bad thing. For my brothers and I, technology has brought us closer. Compared to when they were at home, now we speak and write almost every day among us. We can also share what is hay ippening in our lives better. Whether technology is something good or bad, it is up to us how we use itQuestions 25 ~ 32 Answer the questions below.
