1. Summary
Diana Spencer was the beautiful English princess who changed the picture of the Royal Family. She did not become the Queen of Britain, but she was loved by a lot of people. She wanted to be loved by her husband, but she could not be special to her husband. She was shocked, however she did not block it out. She wanted to change things in the world, and she helped many people through her work for charity. Sadly, her fairy-tale marriage went wrong and she learnt to live and work alone. She was so popular that reporters and photographers followed her everywhere. They were following her car when it crashed in Paris in August 1997.
3.Relevance to modern life
I thought Paparatch, who pursued her persistently, had something to do with her today. The reporters violated her private life. For example, I called her many times in the middle of the night and knocked her in the bathroom many times. They wanted to record everything about her. Even the reason for her death was paparatch. She was driving very fast to escape them when she was in an accident. This has something to do with modern times. Reporters who persistently pursue celebrities and take pictures should respect their private lives.

I found a problem. There is a mistake in the person’s name. You are talking about paparatch, so you should write it as “they” instead of “I”. That way, this sentence will be easier to read.
I find the problem in this report. This is a problem because “Paparatch” is not right English spell. Also, Paparazzi is Italian word. One way to fix this problem is to explain more easily. For example, “The photographer who follows celebrity constantly or continuously.” If you do that, we can understand what Paparazzi is.
I think this report has a trouble. In relevance to modern life, this report is written “for example, I called her many times in the middle of the night and knocked her in the bathroom many times”. This ploblem is that the subject is “I” in spite of this sentence’s subject is “The reporters”. One way to fix this problrm is to change the subject “I”to “the reporters”. If you do that, your audiences eill have a chance to understand your report.
I think that the author only wrote about her works. If you want to write author information, you have to write her detain thing. For example, family childhood. I want to know that. When you write that, you have to look for many websites. However, you must judge whether this is true or fake. If you do that, You can get to know the author more and you may meet her new works.
I think that this report has a trouble. There are few conjunctions, so it is a little difficult to read in summary part because it is not easy to understand the connection between sentences. I have a solution. It is easy to read if you use conjunctions at the beginning of sentences.
I was in charge of the author section of this review, and I found the lack of information related to this work is a problem. One way to fix this problem is to write specifically about the author’s background, upbringing, and how these related to this work. This would help readers to learn the background information of the work and deepen their understanding of it.
I think that you have some trouble. You wrote“paparatch” but, this word is wrong. The correct spelling is paparazzi. I think you should spell it right. If you do that, many people read more easily.
