This is my first time reading an original Harry Potter novel, before that when I was a little, I’ve read Harry Potter stories but in comic version. Yes, of course, in the children's comics that I used to read, there were more pictures than the story text. Besides that, actually I didn’t into a fantasy genre, especially a magics stuff like Harry Potter. At first, I think it was like a weird stuff, like there’s a witch with their wand and they can do anything with it just by saying some of the spell, and then VOILA! Anything you want can be appear.

Essay: Social Media Impacts on Teens

Social Media Impacts on Teens By Maxim and Profitta Social media has changed the way we interact with the world outside. From being confined by the restriction of time and distances to being able to communicate instantly to one another. This changes the way we teens interact with our friends. Back then we were only able to communicate when we were at school or at a gathering, but now we can “see” each other anytime Of course this has many benefits. For example we can see our friends even if we or them are sick so that we don’t spread the disease. We also can see what our friend is doing right there and then, maybe we can feel like we participated in their holiday. We can keep up with the trends and talk about it with our friends. On the other hand, social media can cause addiction to the users. Using social media can influence our brain in harmful ways. We may use social media compulsively and excessively. It's like we cannot live without social media. Social media also can lead us

  Renewable Energy  By: Hania, Diandrei, Profitta, M. Haikal Advantage Most renewable energy resources are clean, because they do not produce any pollution and cheap because their energy supplies do not have any cost. These energy sources including sunlight, wind, tides, and biomass are always available on earth so they will never run out. Disadvantage Most renewable energy generators are expensive to set up.

Film Review: Nico's Weig

  Hallo, Guten Abend (for those who read this at night). So I just watched a film called Nico's Weig. This film is perfect for those of you who want to watch a light and family-friendly film and also want to learn German. Why I recommend this to those who want to learn German? Because this film is meant for German language level A1 learners and there are also German subtitles to make it easier to understand. In this film includes daily conversation, vocabulary, customs and culture of the German people. This film tells about a man named Nico from Seville, Spain, who goes to Germany and meets his aunt. Unfortunately when he arrived at the airport he lost his bag but he met Emma and her aunt named Lisa. They wanted to help him but Nico couldn't speak German well. As time went on, beside made plans to help find Nico's bag, they also help Nico to learn German. Furthermore, Nico also made some new friends. They also helped Nico when he was injured while they were playing soccer.
