My Idol

                Hello my name is Florence. I want to tell you about my idol from which my name is taken from. Her name is Florence Nightingale. She was born in 1820 to a wealthy English family. She decided in her teens to become a nurse, even though her parents disapproved. At that time, most nurses were from poor families and had little or no training. But Nightingale was determined to have her way. In 1850 and 1851, she received training at hospitals in Egypt and Germany.

                In 1853, Nightingale took charge of a hospital in London, England. Here she showed skills as a nurse and an organizer. She had bells put beside patients’ beds. When patients needed a nurse, they rang their bells. Nobody had thought of this idea before.

                Nightingale devoted the rest of her long life to improving public health and educating people about the importance of good hygiene. Britain’s hospitals accepted her ideas, and they became cleaner and healthier places.

                In 1860, Nightingale set up a training school for nurses in London. The “Nightingale nurses,” s its graduates were called, helped spread Nightingale’s ideas around the world Nightingale died in 1910 at the age of 90.

A kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia. It has a small relative called a wallaby, that lives in Tasmania and New Guinea. Kangaroos eat grass and plants. They have short front legs, long and strong back legs, and a tail. These are used to sit up and jump. Kangaroos are well known for their 8-meter forward jumps and more than 3-meters high leap across fences. They can also run at the speed of over 45 kilometers per hour. The largest kangaroos are the Great Grey Kangaroos and Red Kangaroos. Adult kangaroos grow to a meter in length and 90 kilos in weight. Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the female kangaroo has an external pouch on the front of her body. The baby kangaroo is very tiny when it was born. It right away crawls into its mother's pouch where it spends the first five months of its life.                                                                                      Adapted from Peter Haddock Ltd, Ref.083

JI. Jambu 129 Bandung 30th January 2017   Dear Fred, It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill. For your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think. The illness was very serious, the news of your mother's death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself for your mother was always very kind to me. I admired her a good and noble woman. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy. Words, I know, are poor comforters. "The heart knows its own sorrow", and in such sorrows, we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.   Your sincere friend, Jack

"You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow."

We are announcing today that we are bringing the Milestone and Ever Green brands even closer together. Effective as of 5th December 2013, our official name will be: GREEN MILES WEST The substitution of "West" in our name--replacing "Cianjur"---is the result of an agreement we reached with Cianjur Gardening Association, following a protest over the original use of "Cianjur" in our name. We hope this does not create any confusion among our loyal consumers. While this represents a change from our initial name introduction, it does not change the quality of the products we offer to our consumers.

Who issues the announcement?
