My hobby is listening to music cause I think my voice is very sweet. I listen to a lot of songs from western and kpop. I'm not fixated on genres, I listen to all genres of music. My daily life is a student of the faculty of education. Right now I'm also helping to teach a few children in my place.

SUMMARY

                   According to Smith, D. (2010), author of “Introduction to Journalism. Student Activities Book.” News provide facts (messages) that can help them make better life choices or information that they find interesting and meaningful (newsworthy). A news is made up of both facts and opinions, and that those opinions, conveyed in the form of quotes, help to bring a story to life. News values include accuracy, conciseness, active voice, objective, clear, relevant, opinion attributed, sources identified, fair and balanced, third person and without editorial comment, finding the truth among the facts, statements and denials, and seeking to tell the latest version of the truth as more facts come to light. The most important details in this text are the news elements that make a fact newsworthy. These elements include proximity, prominence, timeliness, consequence, human interest, and conflict or drama. Proximity is how close the event is to the reader, while prominence is how well known the people involved are. Timeliness is when the most recent development is the feature of the story, and consequence is when the impact of the event is major. Human interest is when a situation makes the reader angry, sad, happy, or overjoyed. Most news stories are newsworthy on this basis alone.

REFLECTION

                   Because I do not yet know about English as a Foreign Language (EFL), I will now need to know about facts, opinions, elements, and values of news. I now think the news has different from other forms of writing that have been described in news values such as accurate, concise, clear, relevant, etc. News is a source of knowledge that can help people make better decisions or find useful insights and also contains both facts and opinions that help to bring a story to life. Having learned about a matter of facts news values and elements makes me know more about what is meant by understanding news, what is contained in news, news values, and elements news for me, the most important learning became relevant for me to be able to have the ability to write as well as writing news. This knowledge is essential to me in the workplace because I can know the values of the news, what elements are in the news and most importantly I can know about the difference between facts and opinions in the news. Later, I realized that we can apply this knowledge in the learning process by knowing knowledge about facts and opinions.

LEARNING STRATEGIES

                        Learning strategies are several series of student activities for the learning process in achieving the goals of learning activities. Each person has a different strategy in the learning process that is done. Every time I learn something new, I have different ways to complete a duty done. First, I will make a list that contains which tasks or lessons that I will do. I used to write it in a small post it and then stick it on the study table to make it easy to see. Second, I will do it in the most comfortable place in my opinion the comfortable room is in my bedroom more precisely on the study table. Third, I am very happy to do the learning process accompanied by a quiet music. I have one playlist that I always play if I am doing the learning process where I will feel more excited in doing it. Finally, after learning has been comfortable and enjoyable then I will try to start understanding the task I am working on, such as summarizing what I have to do in an easy understand language. I think it can all help me in doing the learning process to meet the goals of the learning activities that I do.
