-Why are the main problems facing children in your country?-

Well, in our opinion, there are so many problems facing children in Indonesia. The first problem is children could not stop playing on the gadget. Most parents nowadays, allowing their children to play on gadget whenever they want. Sometimes, in the restaurant I see some children around 1 to 5 having meals while watching YouTube videos. Also, there's a family at a table minding their own business on the gadget. In this case, parents just wanted to calm their children, but in a wrong way. This could be a bad habit until they get older. They would be unsosializing with their relatives, because they prefer playing or doing something on the gadget. Having less quality time with people around and would feel something far becomes near, something near becomes far.
In the other hand, we are living in a pandemic situation right now, which is making us to reduce some of our activities. Especially, children could not go to school anymore to continue their studies but they have to study on online school during the pandemic. Sadly, everything turns out to be focusing on the gadget. Now we really need a gadget for really important thing. So in this case, we think that parents should pay attention to their children. Whenever they could use the gadget on the right times.
The second one is,
"filial piety"
i heard this from my friend. she stays up late and chats with her "friends" in japan through discord. and sometimes they help her english as well. turns out this "filial piety" is our parent's expectation that us children should behave and treat parents. this is your typical asian parents, too. no laws prohibiting parents to use violence when disciplining. that and the fact a lot of us children gets exposure from western culture ( i.e. people respect others with a higher degree, not solely bcus they're older than you ) and got mixed in between.
Also, schools taught us to preserve our culture while advancing in human resource's quality. I'm afraid we can't ensure both, and leaving all this and blaming us youngsters for "getting caught in the wave" won't solve the problem.

How important are role models?

In our opinion, role models can play a big part in our lives. Role models can pave the way and give us insight in what we want to do with our lives or even teach us a few things about morals. Role models can also inspire us in a lot of ways. Although we find role models important, we dont find them mandatory. Not everyone needs a role model, they can just simply live their lives being who they want to be without a standard ( referring to role models ). Role models can also indirectly give a bad impact. So, no matter who your role model is you should still stay strong to your own beliefs because role models shouldn’t be your main source of information

Why do people watch television serials?

Aldo opinion  in my view as a student as a means of entertainment and as a medium that provides new information visually / anything that can be seen and responded to by the sense of sight.

Clement opinion People Watch Tv series because:

Have some new Topic to be talk about...
conversations take a meaningful turn and lead to a discussion that might have never happened otherwise.

TV serial dramas offer some of the best storytelling there is because their numerous episodes give the writers the opportunity to develop robust characters the audience grows to love.

Do you think all successful people are happy?

No, In our opinion success doesn't guarantee people to make them happy. Many people think if they work hard and get lots of money they would be happy, and then they get to the point where they're already successful but they feel empty inside and cannot get happiness.Yes, you can be happy when you're successful and rich, but you don't need to be successful to be happy. It's not that you can't be happy without being successful, but you're not letting yourself be. If only you appreciate the simple truth that success isn't happiness but happiness is success itself, you'd live more. To be honest, years might pass, but you won't ever stop feeling like you're almost there.

Why do countries have national holidays?
In our opinion, national days are the days which are very special and important for a nation. A National Day is a special day where people celebrate their country or nation each year. Most countries have national days and they are usually a national holiday, where people don't go to work or school. In many countries which used to be colonies, the national day is known as Independence Day because it remembers the day they became free of their old empire.

We think that all countries have it because everybody likes a break once in a while, and because it's easy to promote a sense of nationhood and common community through the shared observance of a country's historic landmarks.

Why do people watch television serials?

In our opinion, people watch television serials for entertainment such as dramas, cartoons, music shows, quiz shows and others and also they want to know news about events in this world. Tv shows like dramas, cartoons can be a reference for filmmakers, directors, scriptwriters, novelists, short stories, or artists who want to improve the quality of their roles by taking knowledge from players in their professions. On the quiz show and news we can learn many things that we didn't know before. if we are watching any historical Tv series then we can know about our past.

We think the reasons people watch television may be social and emotional as much as to do with the programmes they watch. We want comfort and familiarity, to feel that we are among friends, to be connected to the wider world, or to experience excitement or explore worlds beyond our immediate existence. We want comfort and familiarity, to feel that we are among friends, to be connected to the wider world, or to experience excitement or explore worlds beyond our immediate existence.

How Important are role models?

Before we talked about how important are role models. What is a role model? Role model is a person looked to by others as an example to be imitated, another meaning of a role model is a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people. The term is credited to sociologist Robert K. Merton.

An easy example of a role model is, parents try to be role models for their children. Why role models are so important? Because we can learn about ourselves more, we know our strengths and weaknesses. We can easily develop our potential. Role models also teach us about hard work, because we can’t get what we want in instant.

As an example, George’s role model is Mike Chinnarat, because he’s a kind and hardworking person, he’s also cares about his family a lot. On the other hand, Tasya’s role model is Kim Chungha, because she keeps pursuing her dreams despite her financial issues. Having a role model doesn’t mean you should do the same thing just as effectively, but it can give you encouragement to keep fulfilling your own dreams.

How important are role models?

In our opinion, role models are important because good role models affect our actions and inspire us to become the best versions of our self and step out of our comfort zone to explore more and make the most of our lives. They help us improve ourself to become a better person and create new goals in life. Role models sometimes shows us their obstacles in life to remind us that failure won’t prevent us from being successful. Looking up to someone makes a big impact on how we act on different circumstances and issues, which is very important for our future!

Why do you think that some parents choose to educate their children at home ? Is this a good thing?

For me that decision is very important for their children. Because, parents educate their children for their children's life then their children go to school without an educated life. If they parents put their children at school, there is no time for them to educate maybe they study at school until 5.pm and their children always say that they were tired. So that's why a parents educate is more important

Is water pollution a problem in your country?

In my opinion, depends on what region and what location, it's basically a yes and a no. Bali's beach is clean in general, but  the rivers are polluted with many garbage. The problem is fixable,  governments needs to make their rules even more strict.
For Example:
-Fined for littering
-Fishing with no permits
-Fishing with dangerous chemicals that would kill the fishes and destroying the habitats.
the reason is so the people would listen to the governments more than before. If it actually happens then almost all the rivers and other water place related would be very clean, or even drinkable.

D you think the transport system in your country will improve in the future?

In our opinion, as far as we're concerned, our transport system will eventually improve. Because, in this modern world, most people like to use fast yet simple things. If we don't keep up and don't improve, our country will eventually be left behind. So, in order to keep our existence in the future, we think we must start to make some changes from now on. But ofcourse it'll be hard and will take a lot of time to improve the transport system. For example the world is trying to switch to electric powered cars. Sadly, only the rich will be able to buy them because majority of the people won't have the money to do so especially in Indonesia.

Do you think all happy people are successful?

In our opinion, happiness can actually lead to success. When people feel happy, they can be more energetic, optimistic, creative, and confident. Others can also find them likeable and sociable. Most people think that happiness is all about success but being successful is not the key to happiness, instead happiness can be the key to success. If you love or enjoy what you're doing, you can have more energy, high enthusiasm, and it will also arise to better health. And after that, success will come naturally.

What kind of art is most interesting?

In our opinion, music is the most interesting art because music have a lot of benefits such as for reduce stress, improves mood, build confidence, boost young brains, etc. And of course, everybody listens to music. Psychologists claim that people who enjoy listening to music are less likely to suffer from stress, anxiety, and depression.  Music is a universal language. Unlike reading a book or watching a movie, listening to music doesn't depend on language.Therefore, music can touch anybody and everybody. Two people who can’t communicate with each other can both enjoy listening to the same song. It is definitely one of the greatest benefits of music. That is what makes it the most interesting art.

Do people in your country prefer to read books or watch films/movies (American English)?

In our opinion, most people prefer watching movies rather than reading a book because reading takes more time and sometimes people get tired from reading to much. However watching a movie is more fun and exciting, because we can see what is the characters are doing and also, movie can visualize the story, It can help people to describe the story into reality, not like when we read a book it needs our imagination. And movies are also more attractive because it contains sounds.

Although most people prefer watching movies, there are still some people that would prefer reading books because they like a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. And books also usually contain a lot of details that movies wouldn't provide. But if we have to choose, we would prefer watching movies than reading books.

Topic : why do people watch television serials?

We watch TV series for entertainment purposes and  we learn many things from the TV series. Like if we are watching any historical TV series then we can know about our past. We enjoy watching family drama, horror, and thrilling series. We used to watch a lot of TV series and spend most of our free time in front of the screen. After some time, We realized that many of the TV series that we watch are not engaging enough. But the reason we love watching TV series is that they make the viewer feel something, regardless if it is hatred, joy, sadness, or excitement. We want comfort and familiarity, to feel that we are with friends, to be connected to the wider world, or to experience excitement or explore worlds beyond our immediate existence. We watch TV series mainly to improve on our knowledge because we feel like watching is better than reading and that’s one reason of the reason we watch TV series to improve our knowledge of real-life incidents and stories even if it’s fictional.

Topic: Are Happy People Successful?

In our opinion, it depends. First of all, we have to know what kind of "success" we're talking about. There are many kinds of success for example, success as in achieving something, success as in living a happy life or even success as in "financially".
People tend to reffer success as in "being rich" but actually there are peoples that have "happiness" as their goal of life. So yes, some happy people is successful if their goal of life is being happy but, if their goal is being rich, we don't think all rich people are happy. Rich people tend to have problems with having a fear of credits, loan sharks, and bankruptcy. But actually, we think that noone that's "not success" is going to be happy. We achieve happiness by doing something that is "what you want" so it's like you achieve something that you want or something you like so basically you succeed.

3. Do people in your country prefer to read books or watch films/movies (American English)?

Based on our opinion, most of the Indonesian prefer watching a movies rather than reading a book for their's entertainment matters. First of all, movies required a shorter span of time. We must say movies are less time consuming compared to reading a book. To complete a book usually it needs at-least a day or more to finish.
Second, there’s a visualization in the movie. So we don’t need to imagine things again, just like what we need to do while reading a book. It’s on the screen already, so you can easily enjoyed the story line by just watching it! And the sound effect or music give it a plus point. It’s really enjoyable!

But let’s admit it, that books are actually stimulating our brain. Reading books allow us to learn how to read faster from time to time, books can train us to be more focused on each sentence, and it suits our liking perfectly because it all happens in our imagination.

But in the end, We still prefer watching movies than reading a book. Thank you for reading our post! Please leave a good reply!

Why do many young girls want to become a models?

Tiara thinks that most young girls want to feel beautiful, and have their "beauty" or "attractiveness" appreciated and validated.Regardless of the type, it's flattering to think you could be a model. It means you hold certain desirable traits that are widely appealing. It means you might be able to stand in front of a camera without feeling uncomfortable.Some young girls look at this opportunity as the way to earn some extra money, to learn new things and to meet interesting people.

Nila thinks that many young girls want to be models because models get a lot of  money and the glamorous life that models live in but in reality that young girls doesn’t understand is there’s a lot of models that doesn’t get pay enough and still need to do extra job to get money.And being a model means daily exercising and dieting and You’ll live under the stress of “am I good enough?” because if all of a sudden designers don’t like your looks you won’t make any money.so being a model isn’t just looking pretty but you must have enough time, patience, energy and self-esteem to be a model.

※Topic: Why do countries have national
holiday

※ Our Answer:
After we discussed about that topic we got some opinions. In our opinion every country had its own national holiday. They have their own nationals holiday to remaining or memories the very important day for that country.For example our country Indonesia, every 17 August we celebrate our independence day.
Countries have national holidays to celebrate the citizens religion day or the cultures too. For example for the Muslims, they're celebrating Ramadhan and Idul Fitri and it will be a our country's national holiday.
And if there are many national holidays in one year, that country's economic situation is better.Because people sometimes go back to their hometown to celebrate their religion's important day with family or go holiday use that national holiday.For example Muslims are back to thier hometown when Idul Fitri to celebrate it. So, it makes flow of people and it makes the economy will revitalize.
So those are our opinions about why do countries have national holiday.

private or public transport?

irene's opinion :

Private transport like cars are used for travelling different places and when the owners want. It is more flexible than public transport like buses or trains and they don't need to wait for the public transport.

It can be said that both types of transport systems come with their own set of benefits and problems. other than that, private cars are more comfortable, safe, hygienic, and a personalized choice of travelling.

Tamara’s opinion :

In my opinion I think that public transportations are better than private transportations.

Because the amount of pollution would reduce if the amount of private transportations are a few in numbers, which means the environment would be cleaner and we could save more money because having a private transportation means we have to pay more taxes.

What types of sport do you think are better, team sports or individual sports?
team and individual sports are excellent ways to improve our health and physical condition. Both types of exercise have the same goal and benefit. Team sports may develop social skills but the pandemics do not recommend us to  meet many people .
So in our opinion, for now it's better to do individual sports at home to avoid the spread of corona virus.

Topic: What type of sport do you think is better, team sports or individual sports
We think team sport is better than individual sport
Because in team sport you cant win by yourself instead you have to work together with your teammates to accomplish big things and win trophies. In team sport you have to train together with teammates and getting to bond with your teammates and by bonding you're actually making friends and team sport is more fun to watch, because it has a lot of skilled player that played together. There also will be a lot more strategy play than a single sport. Team sport will have even more fun to watch when there is a undefeatable duo or player inside the team that made the play of the game.

Public or Private Transport?

In Putra's opinion, public transportation can take you where you want. but there are some places that don't allow public transportation to enter so you have to walk to get there. it's different if you use private transportation, you can go anywhere. and also you don't have to wait at the station, which is a huge waste of your time. and also you get more privacy using private transportation. Regarding the current situation, I think it's better if we don't use public transportation, because it can spread the virus.

Davis thinks that public transport is better because it is cheaper, and also gives extra space to the crowd. Usually, 1 people use 1 car, imagine 10 people use 10 different cars. Because those 10 people can be on one transport which is public transport so it gives extra space and also it can reduce traffic jams. and also much better for public health, it causes less polution. Even private transport gives you better privacy, but it cost more pollution and the possibility of a traffic jam is higher with it, so Davis thinks public transport is better.

Topic: Successful people are always happy
We don't agree that all successful people were always happy. The word "successful" has a lot of meaning. It depends on the individual to define it. It could be having happy family, it could be successful on a business, etc. But most of people define it as a richness. But many rich people out there were having very much money but they never feel what happiness is, what love is, what peace is. So we think successful can't guarantee a happiness, because they can’t achive everything in life that will make them happy there will always be a price to pay for being successful . Example: Being successful means you have to work hard and sometimes can make you forget about friends and families thus making you unhappy without their presence. There are other reasons such as successful people are always happy when they achive something but when suddenly he fails in achieving something it may cause him to be sad and may be depressed as if he failed in life.

Anne thinks that successful people are happy because they have everything and they always get what they want. Moreover, successful people have achieved their dreams, so they definitely are happy. However, Mona disagrees this statement. She thinks that successful people are not always happy. Most successful people are busy with their works, that cause them do not enjoy their life and they do not even have time for themselves and family. There must be shadow behind the light.

Tourism explosion has benefited the locals. Many local business grow rapidly around the tourism destination. As a result, the number or unemployment has reduced significantly and the standard living has improved in several years. In addition, the money that the government get from the tourist is used to restore the old building. On the other hand, the rapid growth of restaurants, bars, hotels, and souvenir shops has caused crowd and hide the historical/old buildings around there. Bad-behaved tourists also one of the problems caused by it. Finally, the infrastructure such as public transportation needs to be improved.
