She is the first female, and the second regardless of gender, from
Barbados to have received a Grammy Award (the first being Jimmy Senya Haynes). Rihanna is currently signed to the Def Jam Recordings label. Rihanna was born in Saint Michael, Barbados, to Ronald Fenty of Barbados (of African and Irish ancestry) and Monica Fenty, who is of Guyanese descent. In 2004, she won the Miss Combermere Beauty Pageant and performed in the Colours of Combermere School Show. At the age of 15, Rihanna received her big break when one of her friends introduced her to music producer Evan Rogers, who was vacationing in Barbados with his wife. Rogers, along with his partner, Carl Sturken, helped Rihanna record material in the U.S. which was sent to various recording companies. One copy of Rihanna's work was sent to Jay-Z, who eventually signed her to Def Jam Recordings. Rihanna cites Brandy Norwood, Beyoncé Knowles, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Bob Marley and her Caribbean background as major musical influences. Rihanna also stated in an interview that her friend and former Island Def Jam record label artist Fefe Dobson was someone that she admired and looked up to, having a fellow artist writing, singing, and performing the music she truly loves.

D. –Test of toeic international communication
Listening comprehension Part I Direction: For each numbered photograph in your test book, four statements will be read out to you, but only one time. They will not be printed in the test book, so you will have to listen carefully. You must choose the statement that is the best description of what can be seen in that photo, then mark the correct answer on your answer sheet. 3. Reflection In this week, I introduce the use of adjective in grammar. In the exam before course, it seems that everyone is not familiar with this part. In order to emphasize the concepts, we learn the grammar from correct the sentences which are examples in text book. This method can learn the use of adjective efficiency. We also have homework for everybody to practice these parts.
