It seems that many stars are putting their fashion (时尚) skills to good use and some of them have succeeded in designing.

Avril Lavigne

“With a lot of designs, I try to tie in with some of my lyrics and more musical elements,” Lavigne said. Her product, named after a childhood nickname (绰号) from her father, was created three years ago, but Lavigne came up with the first idea for a clothing product when she was only 19 years old.

Victoria Beckham

Victoria created her own style of jeans for the clothing brand (品牌) Rock & Republic in 2004. Later, she created her own brand with the name DVB style and now she is more popular as a designer than as a singer.

Madonna

Jessica Simpson

I was so careful. I was nervous too. I had taken driving lessons and passed my driving test. I had to pick up my father from work and drive him to the train station. But as I got close to my father’s workplace, I felt more and more confident.

There he was standing in front of his office building. After I stopped the car, he got in. But then, I was nervous again. I had to get the car into the street. With so many cars around, it wasn't easy. After about two minutes of waiting, the way was finally clear.

Soon we got onto the highway(公路). My father was giving me some advice on how to change lanes((车道). Suddenly, I saw a police car behind me. They were pulling me over(令我停靠路边).“Oh no! 'I said. A police officer came to my window. "The speed limit(极限 )on these roads is 100 kilometers an hour, he said. " Do you know how fast you were going?” “120?"I guessed. Of course it was a rediculous guess. There were so many cars passing me. How could that be?

No. You were going 65 kilometers an hour. You can't drive that slow. You'll cause an accident. When he found out this was my first day as a driver,he smiled and walked away. And that was my first day as a driver.
