A writing is not easy as you think because it needs a highly concentration. However, there are some ways to solve this problem which are;
Firstly, you have to try to write anything about what you think in that time, and write it down immediately. If you have already found your words, your hands and your pen will go through, and. It means you have passed it.
Secondly, you can try to sit out. It makes your mind relax, then you will write well and happy. However, this way is not appropriate when you are in deadline because it takes a long day.

There are many people who say that if you are going through this and you wait a long time, they might end up gone all together.

She only had Anne so that Anne was the one who worked to earn money for both of them. I really like the character of Anne in this story, she is very sweet and virtuous noble character. I was hoping that someday he would marry Gilbert because Gilbert actually liked him but because Anne who once hated him was not aware of it.

This story is a little creepy because it tells the story of two archeologists who have become mummies centuries ago in the past. They are told to live again today. They meet and produce a child. This story is quite interesting to me, although I do not like the genre of the story, the language in this book is also difficult to understand. So I can only capture some of the parts in this book. But after reading this book I feel diatmosphere is different because the story is so classic with a pretty neat groove. From here I can also learn about history when reading books like The Mummy Returns this. I simply recommend this book for history lovers because after reading this book you will get some information that you have never found before, I think so. :)

16611014

This book tells us about the fiction story. Marcel, French mouse and his friend Henry, English mouse. They both helped return Shakespeare's letters stolen by a woman from Professor Barton. I really like this story genre. I read very seriously. There are some parts that make me laugh, but there are some that make me curious and surprised by the behavior of Marcel the detective rat and his friend Henry. But I think the ending of this story should have Professor Barton know that his letters have been stolen, if only he knew maybe the two friendly mice would be very proud and of course very happy even though in fact they also do not expect any award. They only help innocent people because Marcel is proud of his ability as a detective rat. The genre of this story is very suitable for children to read because they will be more entertained with the story as they sharpen their brains to imagine.

He was also interested in trying it, then he got a bad news that he was not allowed to go on next Friday because there will be bad things happen. But the man only agreed the fortune teller because he thought he did not have a schedule that day, so it's fine. But something happened, he received a letter from the sport shop. The manager wants to see Tom at Friday, is instantly aware of the personal message, but he does not care because he is hard to wait for a long time to reply the letter.

Review of 27th book: The Charm

16611014

This book tells about the story of the man who is always shy, but now he changed his personality to be a brave man. He had some reasons about that. His experience started from when he became a soldier, he began to dare to interact with many people, but still many people who laugh at him.

One day as he walked, he saw an old man standing by the side of the road. Then he approached the old man. Upon approaching he realized something that the man in front of him could not see. He then helped him to cross the road because he thought no one would be reluctant to help the old man. People are too busy with their business. Then he guided the old man. After reaching the end of the road, the old man thanked him and grabbed his jacket, he knew that the jacket was a soldier jacket. Then he gave Charm to the man, and said he would be bolder with it.
Apparently the words of the grandfather is true, he became more daring even he was able to become a leader. Now he is old, but he still remembers the merits of the old man on that day, the man who is able to change his personality.
In my opinion, his personality may change because of the object, but more logic because he is more motivated to be more courageous because he feels he has something that can increase his courage, even if only an object that is not worth its value.

I have some interesting impression after reading this book. In my opinion, this book is really recommended to read. The first thing that I like is we can learn history while reading this book because this book is about the ancient times, that is in the days of Adolf Hitler. Here the authors convey a message that how bad Adolf's treatment in ancient times, then it turns out that Adolf's thing happened to a school-Gordon. There is a teacher using learning tricks to make his students more disciplined. But in the end he realized that his actions were the same thing that Adolf did. The teacher creates a salute called "The Wave". More and more followers, The Wave is getting worse in the eyes of some people because the movement invites some disputes between the members of The Wave and those who are not members of The Wave. I quite understand the story in this book, and I am very excited because there are many lessons we can take after reading this book. We will also become more aware in doing something.

 This article is concerning EFL / EAP Reading and Research Writing Essays Using Jigsaw.
In academic conditions students should have the skills to read and write research papers to meet the requirements criteria when in their field of study. But the trouble is most students do not like both of these, especially in English. occasionally they reference from various sources then put it into their writing.
In this article introduces an effective way of creation research writing essays using Jigsaw.
 The Jigsaw manner of linking each part of the group has an alienation of the role to play, in which group members have a role in the achievement of the task. The students are in control and the teacher is
the facilitator who helps and provides the obligatory explanation. Jigsaw provides an occasion for learners to be separately responsible students.
I consider it is helpful to persuade effective learning, critical thinking, student autonomy, empathy, positive team interdependence and social communication skills.

"The Little Prince"

This novel tells about a little prince. He is disappointed with the world of adults because they have no imagination and have all the wrong priorities. He’s had no one he could really talk to, and has led a pretty lonely life.The narrator meets this little guy in the Sahara, far, far away from all human habitation. The narrator, who is a pilot, has had an accident with his plane and has been forced to land in the desert. The little prince, he discovers, is visiting from another planet. The two immediately hit it off and become good friends over the course of a week.
So, the little prince is prince of what, anyway? We learn that he lives on an asteroid named B-612, which is as big as a house. On it, there are three tiny volcanoes that come up to his knees: two are active, and he uses them to warm his breakfast; one is extinct, and he uses it as a footstool. And most importantly, on his planet is a flower whom he loves.

This flower is ill-tempered and vain, and her all-round bad behavior drives the prince away. But on the day of his departure, she admits she loves him and regrets that she never expressed it before. In any case, the prince has decided to leave, so leave he does, though the whole situation has that icky-sickly sheen of a bad break up. The prince visits several planets, which are inhabited by all sorts of strange characters—a king, a conceited man, a merchant, and so on—who are selfish and petty and successfully convince the little prince that adults are weird. Finally, he makes his way to Earth where he meets a wise fox who teaches him about trust and friendship. The fox’s lessons help the prince realize that he loves his flower, and that she is unique and special because of the relationship they share. After eight days in the desert, the narrator is out of water and the plane engine is starting to look unfixable. He and the little prince trek in the desert looking for a well and miraculously find one; also, the engine makes a speedy and surprising recovery.The little prince wants to return home to his tiny planet and his beloved flower. The way this is done, apparently, is to get bitten by a poisonous desert snake. This method sounds dubious to the narrator (and to Shmoop), but the prince is all about it. The snake bites the prince, who then collapses and disappears.
