Hazel Hair Holder press release

As part of the English assignment, the class was divided intro groups and we had to launch a new product line regarding the Hazel company. Overall it was successful because I felt that the entire group worked well and we shared our creative skills to achieve our goal. The highlight of assignment was when we decided to take our picture and use that as the advertisement. It was fun and it made me understand the true dynamics behind marketing and working together in a team. Every individual has their own personal opinion, and opinions can clash, but in this particular assignment we combined our different ideas and concepts together to create the presentation. The mission state for our company was " 40 is the new 20, our mission is to provide customers with outstanding customer service, superior information and high end products"


Below you will find the press release that I have written for Hazel.

The Most Innovative & Effective Hair Loss Treatment!
The Hazel Hair Holder is a new scientifically proven formula that precisely promotes hair follicles to re-grow. A small percentage of expensive hair loss treatments can be useful in preventing hair from falling by nourishing the scalp and by reducing the harm caused by enzymes in the human body, but the Hazel Hair Holder guarantees that the baldness will diminish and eventually allow new and healthy hair to re-grow. On behalf of the Hazel Hair Holder group, we have successfully developed a new product that targets people that are experiencing hair loss or new signs of baldness that are emerging in their scalp.  These days the hair products in the beauty markets only stop hair from falling, but thanks to our new advanced hair technology, we have gone a step further by allowing the Hazel Hair Holder to stop hair from falling but to also re-create the hair growth process. In other words, not only does your hair stop falling but you re-grow the hair you lost and even more!
Our product has been tested on 400 men and women and 90% are happy with the results and report no problems or side effects. To make it affordable to the market and adjusting to the financial problems our economy faces these days, one package of the Hazel Hair Holder retails for 15 Euros ( including VAT). All the chemicals involved are medically tested and instructions for the directions of use of the product are labeled on the package.  
Hazel is based globally as it supplies the products in all geographic regions. It is a private company that specializes in providing the fashion sensitive niche with beauty products and cosmetics that are directed towards women but also men. The company has more than 100,000 employees and this number is growing on a daily basis. Hazel is one of the world’s largest but also successful beauty cosmetic sellers and has kept this position for many decades. Annually, the company makes $140 billion in revenues which is segmented in 93% being sold in department stores, supermarkets and other retail outlets and the rest 7% sold using direct sales. If you would like more information about the business or would like to schedule a meeting with our group please call 0020-00424234 or send us an email at hazelhairholder@gmail.com

favorite book growing up!

Fear street saga by R.L.Stine.



This book brings back many memories because as far as I can remember, I used to love reading horror-thriller themed books. This one in particular is my top favorite because I remember it was one of those books that you simply could not put down. I was magnetically attracted to the book as I found myself reading it all night and day and I couldn’t get enough of it. Furthermore, I believe that it really  helped me to establish my English language because it had many words that I was not familiar with. R. L . Stine portrays the imagery in the book superbly and that’s why I believe I found the book to be highly intriguing.

reflective history report

Reflective report

English, for many centuries dating back to  when the Germanic tribes invaded Britain, has developed and become more better in time. This is the same situation I am experiencing at the moment. Like English, my English language to start with was not so great but right now I feel as if it is improving by the day.

 I was born in Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan where the main language is Arabic, but English is spoken by the majority of native Africans in the city. In kindergarten and the first year of primary school, I was taught completely in Arabic although we were given minor English classes here and there. To cut the story short, my upbringing in Sudan was solely Arabic taught. However, my first and important connection I had with the English language is when I came to the Netherlands at the age of 5. I started primary school at a British school and that is when I started learning the language. Of course as a child the English language was completely bizarre to me because it sounded nothing like Arabic. Slowly but surely my English was improving and at around nine years old I found myself to be reading English books, perfectly.

In secondary school, I was surprisingly permitted to  take part in English A1 higher level as part of my International baccalaureate study, which is exclusively made for English native speakers coming from an English background. I did well and I passed the course but the most important part about it was that I learnt many things. The two short years I was doing the international baccalaureate, my English language sky rocketed from mediocre to what I consider good, and I am very proud of my progression.  

Now that I am studying international business management at the University of Groningen, I can really look  back on my achievements in awe.  English in this course seems to be in the same level with the English I had in high school and this is of course good news for me since I do not have to worry about catching up. Before I came to university, in all honesty, I expected that the language was going to be very complex and hard to comprehend, and this is has always been my impression on universities. Although sometimes I don’t not understand a couple words here and there, I always manage to somehow figure out their meaning simply by trying to find out what the message the author is trying to convey, or the related words next to the unknown word.  I learned this technique from an old teacher that always used to tell me to write down a list of words I didn’t know and make sure I knew them by the end of the week.

Furthermore, I expect the next coming three years to be challenging but doable.  I believe that my English will continue to improve and that I will be seeing great results in the future. My advice to first year student of next year is to not be afraid and to make sure to read plenty of English books, magazines etc, to develop their English.

my thoughts on exams

It is that time of the school year when students must take exams. Personally, for me, I am terrified of exams for several reasons. Well for one, in many cases exams do not really challenge ''how smart you are'' but rather it tests how well you can memorise what you have studied. Not to generalize, but a quiet large of students cram dozens of information regarding a specific topic just 1 day before the actually. Not saying I do this, but I am guilty for not managing my exam studying schedule effectively. I tend to underestimate the work load and this frightens me to the exent I start to panic and studying becomes even more difficult! Since some of my class mates might read this, I thought it would be a good idea to provide a link that has useful studying tips : http://www.cod.edu/people/faculty/fancher/study.htm
