Hi everybody! I would be very thankful if someone took a look at my assignment and made suggestions and corrections of any kind (capital letters, spelling, grammar…).
I have to do a short presentation for the english exam at university, and I chose to do it on Barbie doll. I cannot put into this question the slides I created with Adobe Illustrator, but this is exactly what I wrote in them:

- history
- 50th birthday
