Description about the video

        The first story is about six Scandinavian explorers who notice a strange phenomenon while crossing the Pacific Ocean in 1947. So they saw the squids soaring above the sea for roughly 50 meters, and they research that.

Comment about the video

        I think this video is informative. From the video, I know how the squids do that. The video is good, colorful, and makes me interesting to watch it, because it also show how they swim.

Something New

    After I saw the video, I got new vocabulary. I think it's five vocabularies like widespread, trajectory, acceleration, propelling, and aerodynamic. Information that I get from the video is how the squids swim and their swimming speed. And I can learn if we need to thank the researchers for doing the research.

Description about the video

    This video is about the process make a good coffee. Maybe many people only like to enjoy coffee without thinking about how coffee can be good or how to make a quality coffee. So this video talks about it, from the first step until we can enjoy the coffee.

Comment about the video

    I like this video because it makes me more interesting in coffee and I love to drink coffee. The author explain it very clear so I can understand it. Also, the video explain the process, and it makes the video not boring to watch. 

Something New

    After I watched the video, I get three new vocabularies like harvesters, density, and grindable. I get information about the process of making a good coffee. And also I can learn if we need to appreciate the struggles or the hard work of others.

Description about the video

    This video is about parables between humans and frogs. Someone put a frog into the water and raise the temperature little by little but the frog didn't feel it. And human also like that. We live on earth which over time has a higher temperature than before, but we don't feel that. 

Comment about the video

    This video motivated me to love the earth more. The animation and the explanation are good and make me need to watch the video again. But sometimes the speakers speak too fast, and I will repeat it.

Something New

    From the video I get three vocabulary likes scalding, kidnapped, and emit. I get information about how global warming happen and the dangers of global warming. And I also can learn if we need to love our earth more, and protect it.
