Anyone Can Be a Polyglot

In this pandemic, people spend more time with their gadgets; kids spend more time playing games after their class, the adults also replace the activities with the virtual one during the quarantine. The pandemic has changed the way people live their life; it also has changed the way we use internet. Although we need to adapt ourselves with the changes, but we cannot ignore that the people’s needs do not change, including the needs of getting a good education.

Jadi entah apa yang pernah dialaminya waktu kecil, sampai dia bisa punya opini sepicik itu. Your words, your mind, your attitude, your quality. Saya cukup tersenyum saja. Yuk, dibaca.. Teaching is an important profession and is increasingly popular career choice nowadays.
