Favorite Magazine (late)

Most teenage girls and women are inclined to read magazines that focus on relationships, women’s health, sex, celebrities, fashion, and self-discovery. These magazines become a guide to helping our everyday lives or just a source of entertainment. In my case magazines such as vogue, People, Starz, Glamour , and Cosmo girl are my entertainment magazine.

My favorite magazine from all women magazines is Marie Claire because of the quality and how it promotes important issues women deal with everyday. I prefer magazine the don’t give advice on how to get a man or the best diet because the truth is it doesn’t really work. However, Marie Claire does focus on health, fashion, celebrities, careers and relationships but it also talk about issues that are happening in the world. The targeted audience is career-educated women looking to read realistic ways to stay healthy and receive tips on fashion and beauty. Some women want too read about real women in the world that are making a difference. Because of this it’s what makes Marie Claire magazine different from others.

The writing style are short articles, interviews with celebrities, and how-to sections.

The sentence in the syllabus for LLD starts a sentence with a open parenthesis that does not close. After the sentence Plagiarism is a serious offense.( A general rule to avoid plagiarism : Any time you use anything (ideas, words, etc) from any source in any submitted work (test, paper, presentation etc." it's missing a close parenthesis.
