Subject: New taste drink From: marrylam@ gmail. com To: lucylee@yahoo. com Dear Lucy, Haven't seen you for a long time! How are you recently？ The autumn is coming and the weather at this time is fine. Would you like to camp in the countryside with our Camping Team？ If you like, please connect with me before next Friday. We will discuss the detailed plan with you about our trip. Today I'm writing not only talk about our tour, but I also want to introduce a new drink to you. I know you like coffee and chocolate very much, so the new taste drink must be suitable for you. It is called Double-Chocolate Cappuccino Cocoa. I have made it at home and it is really easy to prepare. In the recipe, there are tips about making it by yourself. You can try it in the afternoon-tea time. With the bright sunshine of the deep autumn, enjoy a cup of your self- made coco- it is really a wonderful time! I hope you can enjoy it not only yourself but also with your family. I have to stop now, see you later! Best wishes.

Now it seems America's love affair with Barbie may be coming to an end- US sales of Barbie fell 15% in the first quarter this year, which combined with other problems to see overall profits at the Barbie maker Mattel slump by 73% .
Barbie's career has spanned hundreds of jobs, and her makers have striven valiantly to keep up with the latest trends. Barbie now uses computers and sends text messages on her mobile phone.
A Barbie-branded range of designer clothes for girls, and branded perfume are also in the pipeline.
But Mattel's attempts to keep pace with modern life have not always gone down well with customers. One letter to the New York Times following Barbie's split from long time partner Ken complained that "the breakup-discourages-even insults - permanence and commitment".
Meanwhile, Barbie has some hip new rivals on the scene. MGA Entertainment's Bratz doll come in a range of different ethnic groups, and boast fashions described as "totally dangerous, totally ferocious and totally cruel". They have won two Toy Industry Association's Toy of the Year Award, and figures suggest rising sales are eating directly into sales of Barbie.
But analysts say with thought and investment Barbie could still have a future ahead.
