Even though there are many kinds of entertainment and it is hard to choose the good, we can select some of them. There are some characteristics that determine the quality of entertainment. First, It must have values. Nowadays, many films have violence in the scenes and much music contains meaningless lyrics. There are no advantages to watch or hear these. In contrast, some films and music inspire and help people around to do better things because they have universal values.
Second, controlled entertaintment is a limited entertainment that can prevent us to be addictive. The negative effect from excessive entertainment is we can forget everything else and only satisfy ourselves. The good entertainment should have a mechanism to ensure people still have time to do other things by creating session break. This way will make the entertainment enjoyable because people will wait. Not only the entertainment itself but also people must have good self control to manage the entertainment.
Finally, the entertainment should add new knowledge. People should not waste their time to the same added value. We will get advantages from entertainment that always gives new knowledge. For example, when i saw National Geographic Channel, besides i entertained, i also got new knowledge about Green Environment.
We must select entertainment to make our life happier. The best entertainment will make our time meaningful and useful because there are so many new things that we will get.

Information Techonology Research Nation
I believe that Indonesia will become an Information Technology Research Center in the next five years. There are three reasons why I feel my country will become IT Research Nation. The main signal is Indonesia have had Information Communication Technology( ICT ) Ministry which means ICT supported and governed by government. The Ministry have passed Electrical Transaction bill that regulates online transaction like e-Payment, e-Commerce, e-Government etc. The existence of the department depicts IT have become an integrated aspect in our people life.
Second, Indonesia’s national budget on education is 20% begun last year that means more research conducted by academics will be paid by this budget. Even though it is not only for IT research, there is more opportunity to increase IT Research. The funding can also sponsor scholarships in the IT field and increase IT education. More IT-educated people will be produced by increasing budget on education, more resources will continue and develop IT.
Finally, nowadays many businesses are using IT to be more competitive. IT is used as tools in supporting works and making advantages. To be winner in the competition, IT must be unique and reliable. It needs research and development on IT products and services to become fastest company giving services to its customers. For example in the bank, best bank will give real time and online service to its customer every time and everywhere. It can be done only by IT support.
In conclusion the need and all support above will make my country become Information Technology Research Nation in the next few years.

Improving english skills
Even though english is not my first language, in my opinion my english can be improved.
We can learn from children's experience in learning new things. They're natural learner and they will master something systematically through education. The two reasons before make me convince that i can improve my english skills.
In the first place, becoming natural learner means we can understand something if we live in its environment. Living in the english environment makes us use and develop our skills because all communication channels are in english. In non-english enviroment we should maximize english usage. For example, writing blog in english, speaking english with some relatives and watching english film at home. All of the things are simple and easy to do and give almost the same natural english environment.
Second, systematic education is the best way to make structural knowledge. Education give basic theory to be used in all english skills. It consists of rule and grammar of using english. Because language is a standard, so it need formal and standard guidance to use. We must master the english grammar to communicate to the others. The better of english grammar we use, the easier foreign people understand us.
In conclusion, i think mastering english is just a matter of time. By doing and learning english, it will make english a common language to non-native speaker.
