anti-fashion by lisa wilkinson
if you ask me, it's high time they (1) "did" away with fashion. i've had enough of it. just when i think i've finally got it right, i pop (2) ……. a clothes shop to find that they've changed all the rules! one minute it's cool to wear brand new expensive stuff, and the next you have to take all that (3) ……. and wear clothes that look as if they've been handed (4) by your grandma. you can't win! well, i've torn (5) ……. my fashion magazines and adopted anti-fashion. it's an idea that has grown (6) ……. of frustration and, to be honest, a lack of money to spend on yet another dress that i only wear once.
i started by drawing (7) ……. a plan. i decided to line all my clothes (8) ……. together, try them all (9) ……. and give to charity anything that either didn't fit or suit me. then, i wouldn't buy any more new clothes until something wore (10) ……. i went (11) ……. my plan again, and knew that i would have to be tough with myself. after all, i'd spent a lot of money on some of that stuff. finally, i plucked up the courage to do it. it felt a little bit like being a child again, dressing (12) ……. in your mum's clothes, but i also felt a great sense of freedom.
that was a year ago and, although i occasionally see something and think, 'oh, that's gorgeous!

Bill Gates started studying at Harvard University in 1973 where he spent time with Paul Allen. Gates and Allen worked on a version of the programming language BASIC, that was the basis for the MITS Altair (the first microcomputer available). He did not go on to graduate from Harvard University as he left in his junior year to start what was to become the largest computer software company in the world; Microsoft Corporation.
After dropping out of Harvard Bill Gates and his partner Paul Allen set about revolutionizing the computer industry. In 1975 the company Micro-soft was formed, which was an abbreviation of microcomputer software. It soon became simply "Microsoft"® and went on to completely change the way people use computers. Bill Gates has not just used his excellent education and love of computers to make himself a rich and powerful entrepreneur, he also made his dream of "a computer in every household and business" to become true.
