BR 13 ASPIRIN

    I will write this book review. The book explains about aspirin.
Aspirin is the most widely used medicine in the world for over 100 years. People use it when they have a fever and for other aches and pains. For thousands of years, people have been using plants as medicines. People used to make a medicine from the bark of the willow tree to help with their aches and pains.
In the 1800s, many scientists tried to find out what was in the willow bark that helped stop pain. In 1828, Johann Buchner found that it had a yellow chemical in it. He called this yellow chemical salicin. Buchner got some people to try his salicin for their headaches. It worked and the pain went away but there is only one problem was that the salicin tasted awful and gave people bad stomach pains. In 1853, Charles gerhardt added some other chemicals to the salicin. These chemicals helped to stop the stomach pains. Felix Hoffman's father was in a lot of pain. Hoffman gave his father a lot of medicines, but nothing helped. One day, Hoffman found Gerhardt's notes. He made some of Gerhardt's medicine for his father. Hoffman's father took the medicine, and the pain went away. Hoffman worked for a company that made medicines. He told them about Gerhardt's medicine, and in 1898, the factory began to make it. They called it "aspirin", and they sold it as a powder. In 1915, aspirin powder was made into a tablet. this was another great idea. It was the first medicine to be sold to people as a tablet. Aspirin was also the first medicine to be advertised. Today, all over the world, one billion aspirin tablets are taken each week.
I understand about a lot of aspirin from this book. This book explains about aspirin easy to understand. If you interested in this book, please read this book. I think that you understand about aspirin.

My Favorite Drink

 

              My favorite drink is coffee because the taste is a little bitter, and the flavor is spicy. I like it. If I would like to drink a cup of coffee, I will go to Starbucks. Starbucks’ coffee is so delicious, so I often go there, and I drink a cup of coffee. However, if there is not Starbucks close to me, I buy a canned coffee at the vending machine or convenience store. My favorite canned coffee is EUROPEAN Black which is sold by GEORGIA. I also like BOSS Black which is sold by SUNTORY. I like EUROPEAN better than BOSS because I think EUROPEAN Black tastes so round, and it is not sour. When I drink a cup of coffee, I don’t put milk and gum syrup and sugar. I drink a cup of coffee more than three times a day, so I bought a coffee maker that is sold by Nespresso. It is so easy to use because it doesn’t need coffee beans. It uses a capsule. There are a lot of kinds of capsules such as Intenso and Espresso, Lungo, etc. The machine price is 20,000 yen, and a capsule price is about 80 yen. They are a little expensive, but it doesn’t hurt to buy.

                My favorite music is western music. I love it so much. Especially, I like R&B of English songs because it is so cool. Also, I used to practice playing DJ in a nightclub. My friends kindly helped me improve my DJ playing. Playing DJ made me funny. My favorite singer is Nelly because his rap is so cool. He released his album which he made with Kanye West. The album name is “Watch the Throne.” The album is so cool. They are brilliant minds. If you are interested in the album, please listen to the album. I also like Alicia Keys because her voice is so beautiful. However, she doesn’t release any new songs lately. When I am having a tough time, I want to listen to her songs. I listen to English songs every day. I listen to English songs on You Tube 2 hours a day. I listen to English songs when I take a bath, and when I go to school, I listening to English songs. I have been introducing my favorite songs on my blog so be sure to listen to those songs. My favorite song is “Say Something” now. The song was sung from A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera. I have been listening to the song a lot recently.
