Collocations - MAKE in use

Here is an example of a very important collocation with the verb MAKE, extracted from The Casual Vacancy, from J. K. Rowling:

But she had seen far worse: welts and sores, gashes and burns, tar-black bruises; scabies and nits; babies lying on carpets covered in dog shit; kids crawling on broken bones; and once (she dreamed of it, still), a child who had been locked in a cupboard for five days by his psychotic stepfather. That one had made the national news.

Recommended blog: fructose-free teens

Hello! I've written this entry to promote a blog made by Natalya, an American 13-year-old that suffers fructose malabsorption. In her blog, she explains all about her story and that condition, apart from providing useful tips, recommendations and recipes regarding what it's called the FODMAP Diet.
Besides, she writes REMARKABLY WELL and you can learn English by simply reading her entries. I feel felicity in a young teen writing so well and her deciding to write a blog to help people that share her condition. From the bottom of my heart, I give her my best wishes.
HERE is the blog.
