From Yohkoh and SoHO observations, the magnetic reconnection is considered as a main energy release mechanism of the solar active phenomena. In this study, we try to reproduce GOES X-ray light curves (1–8 $\AA$) of solar flares using a model incorporating the radiative and conductive cooling and the magnetic reconnection heating.
