Kevin Costner, a famous American actor, was born in Los Angeles. He spent his childhood often on the move, changing schools frequently, owing to his fathers job at the regional electricity company. As a teenager, he developed a keen liking for football, baseball and basket-ball and was also interested in singing and writing poetry. He married his college sweetheart Cindy whilst still at California State University and came out with a business degree in marketing. In his spare time he appeared in local theatre.Theatre became more and more important to him and after having worked six weeks in a marketing company, he gave the job up to become an actor. He played in many sm all part roles before his principle role which was not a success. However Costner himself was given good reviews. In 1987 his starring role in The Untouchables and No elan Out really introduced him to international fame. Indeed, he won the Star of Tomorrow prize from the U. S. National Association of Theatre Owners. Then in 1988 came Bull shorthorn which was a huge hit movie in the States about baseball.His subsequent film Field of Dreams was also a success and touched baseball again. Then came the violent drama movie Revenge followed by his first directorial debut film Dances With Wolves in which he also starred and which won 7 Oscars. His movie Robin Hood, Prince of the Thieves was also a great success. I like this actor because the characters he plays are strong personalities, wise people who are worthy of my admiration. In my opinion, this is the reason of his growing popularity in many, countries. He is not only a talented actor, whose acting draws your attention the very mome nt you see his face on the screen.But he is also a successful producer and continues working at his new films which are certain to amuse the people.

The use of articles with geographical names has certain patterns. For example, the name of a river is used with the definite article, and the name of a lake is used without any article. The name of one mountain (or one island) is used without any article, and the name of a mountain chain (or a group of islands) is used with the definite article. The meaning may change depending on the presence or absence of the definite article.For example, Mississippi is the state of Mississippi, while the Mississippi is the Mississippi River. The words north, east, south, nothern, western, central, and the like are capitalized if they are part of the geographical name (the North Sea, Northern Ireland, Central America) or part of the name of the region regarded as a unit (the West, Western Europe, the East, the Far East). If such words are used for indicating direction or as descriptive terms, they are usually not capitalized (the north, the west, the southeast, the south of France, western Asia, northern Africa, central Australia).Ex the Western Hemisphere, the Eastern Hemisphere, the Northern Hemisphere, the southerly Hemisphere They invited u s round for dinner,which was nice.
