Summary 

  This film tells about the struggle of a girl named Jessica Watson who sails around the world with her ship. At first, he ran into problems while on probation. However, with the support of her family, those closest to her, and herself, Jessica Watson was able to overcome existing obstacles, fight fear, and manage to cross the seas with her ship, which is named "Pink". While on the ship, Jessica must have felt lonely, bored, and even had to be brave in the face of a storm. He kept fighting until he finally returned home safely.

Activities: What did you do? What scores did you get

 

   I watched a movie, still on subtitles. However, every now and then I ignore the subtitles, and try to practice my listening skills. This is something I usually do. If I find difficult words, I usually write them down first. And when the film was over, I started figuring out the meaning of those difficult words.

 

Benefits: What benefits did you learn from this topic?

   In this listening activity, I studied the American accent used by the characters in the film. Also some vocabulary that I did not understand the meaning of before. In addition, there are many moral messages from the film, which I can then apply in my life. The language used tends to be less formal, and that reinforces my insight.
