Marie Colvin was a world-famous war reporter. She was born in New York, USA, in 1956 and died in Homs, Syria, in 2012.

When she was a student at Yale University, Colvin decided that she wanted to be a reporter in the future. She joined the Sunday Times, a UK newspaper, in 1985 and soon became its Middle East reporter. Besides the Middle East, she also reported from other parts of the world: Chechnya, Kosovo and Sri Lanka, for example. When she was reporting on the war in Sri Lanka, she lost her left eye. But that never stopped her. She still went to dangerous places that few reporters wanted to visit and stayed when others left.

Colvin showed great empathy in her stories. For her, war reporting was not just some quick interviews and a few photos. She wrote about real people and their real lives. Her writing made you feel so strongly about these people’s stories, just like they were your own. She hoped that through her work the world would understand what really happened in war, and would take action to stop the fighting.

On February 22, 2012, the day after she gave her report on the war in Homs, Colvin was killed when the house she was staying in was attacked. She always knew what price a war reporter might have to pay. She already lost an eye before. This time, she gave her life to the work she could not give uptelling the true stories to the world.

Read Cindy’s diary and answer the questions.

Nov. 13, 1990

Today I got a letter from Jenny, my new friend in America. I wrote her last week, and it was my first time to write a letter in English. I was worried that she wouldn’t get my letter. But she did, and she wrote back a nice long letter. She told me a lot about her family, school life, and the things she likes to do on holidays. I found we both love watching basketball games and think of Michael Jordan as the greatest player ever.

I can’t wait to get a letter from Jenny again. It’s so much fun to share things with a foreign friend. In my next letter, I will tell her some interesting things about my school.
