I became a member of book club I recently joined 'book club' where I can read books with others through Skype. Actually, I have been buying various books written in English to improve my language skills, but none of them has never finished. This is why I decided to join the club that can motivate me to continue reading. The first book we chose was Grit written by Angel Duckworth, who is a prominent psychologist in the University of Pennsylvania. Based on her childhood experience, she has been working on a rigorous experiment on the correlation between grit and success. While the whole society has focused more on gifted talent, she shared different perspective toward the factors that determine people's success. She argued that there is something more significant than talent. It is GRIT. She defined grit as perseverance for a long time. In retrospect, I was not that gritty person in my life. It does not matter though because she said that the level of grit also changes in ages. Through this book, I will learn how to improve grit in my life. Chapter 1 of begins now.

IELTS WRITING TASK 2 Topic : Some people think that the best way to learn is from newspapers. Others think that the best way to learn is through media. Discuss both views and give your opinion. As people, nowadays, are of various ways to gain information, there are two different points of views whether newspapers or media are the most effective mean for them to learn. In this essay, I will examine both arguments and conclude that learners should strike a balance in terms of learning method. To begin with, there is an opinion that newspapers are the optimum learning material. Primarily, this type of media contains deeper analysis about current issues that are professionally written by related experts, which would enable readership to understand complicated world news. In addition, newspapers can be a perfect learning tool because readers would more likely concentrate on articles, compared to gaining information from TV through which audiences are easily exposed to attention-grabbing contents. In this regard, newspapers would maximize subscribers' learning. Having said that, some opponents insist media would offer people the best result in learning. This is because people would have easier access to the updated information, which is usually impossible through newspapers that are printed daily or weekly. More importantly, if students use TV as a learning resource, this would lead them to not only better understanding, but also better memory by virtue of visual aids. In my opinion, I think using both methods brings the efficacy of learning since newspapers and TV cut both ways. In particular, when people want to develop their reading skills and analytic ability, newspapers can be more suitable since, through journalists' articles and editorials, they can deeply learn how to write and use precise words. Meanwhile, watching TV would help audiences improve listening and speaking skills with videos and sounds. Therefore, utilizing both means would be significant for learners to optimize their studying. To surmise, although there are opposite views concerning the best learning method between newspapers and media, I contend striking a balance would be the best way to learn.
