So, many creative designers made efforts to challenge. Here are three unusual umbrellas that can solve the rainy day problems:Senz Problem: Common umbrellas love to invert(翻转) when its windy.The Senz umbrella changes the found shape into the one that is long in the back and short in the front. The design is much stronger against even strong against even strong winds, and according to their tests, it won t invert in a windy stormKazbrellaProblem: Once closed, umbrellas drip(滴水)all over everything and they need a lot of room to open up.The Kazbrella tries to solve this problem. It opens in a special way. When closed, it looks like the common umbrella upside down, but when it opens, it is similar to the common one. The design allows the wet side of the umbrella to be inside once you fold it. As a result, getting in and out of your car is not a problem. You can close Kazbrella into the smallest space of a car door, remaining dry.Rain shieldProblem: Rain can hit you from all directions.In the face of a heavy rainstorm, a little more surface area would be a big help. So the Rain Shield has been given an extension(延伸)to one side, giving the protection from the side way rain and lowering the risk of being invert. And its bendy (弯曲)design means it is easy to take.Dont you think that these umbrellas are fascinating? The good news is that you can buy Sen and Kazbrellas in London now.26 .

Without them, Christmas just wouldnt feel right. My personal favourite part of the festive period is the songs. There are traditional songs, such as Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Ding Dong Merrily on High and Good King Wenceslas, which you would normally hear in church.Then there are the pop songs from throughout the years. Some of them have been recorded and re-recorded too many times to count.In fact, almost every year people argue about which versions（版本）of certain Christmas songs are better. Eartha Kitt or Kylie Minogues version of Santa Baby? What about Michael Bubl vs Frank Sinatra and their versions of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas? The list goes on and on.The most famous Christmas songs are undoubtedly the ones with a pleasant melody, talking about being home for Christmas or how much they love Christmas. All of them are easy to remember. Have a listen to Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea orI Wish It Could be Christmas Every Day by Wizzard. Some songs highlight how much we want to be with the people we love at this time of year, such as Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley, Lonely This Christmas by Mud or Leona Lewis One More Sleep. The mainstream songs are the ones youll hear in shops as you do your Christmas shopping or in restaurants all over Britain.The Christmas songs that I love to listen to are the
