Tittle
Mr. Bean's Holiday
Orientation
Mr. Bean's Holiday It’s a film produced by Working Title Production entertaining and full of ridiculous views. The film is starred by the famous funny man Rowan Atkinson.

Evaluation
The film was begun by the crowd waiting for the announcement of prize won by Mr. Bean. The funny man began travelling with 200 euros heading to Cannes, France. Unfortunately, when he bought some snacks he missed the train so he had to wait for the next one. The film told about Mr. Bean’s effort to return a boy who missed his dad because of Bean’s fault. He was left by his dad in the railway station when Mr. Bean asked him to shoot using a camera. The door was closed but the man was still outside the train.
Interpretative recount
(riding bicycle) Every screen showed some funny, ridiculous moment and some beautiful scenery about France. An  interesting moment was when Mr. Bean and the boy tried to call the parent’s phone number. They tried every number because the last number giving the boy’s father couldn’t be caught by the camera brought by Mr. Bean. When they didn’t have coins to make a call, the boy begged to a woman and she gave a coin. When Bean tried the same action, the woman left him. (Mr. Bean reads the map) Mr. Bean and the boy made a part when Mr. Bean ran after a ticket for a bus. The man then met Sabine, an actress, who helped Mr. Bean and the boy to meet the boy’s parent.
Evaluation summation
In my opinion, this film is good for laugh. The story is not complicated and easy to understand although some conversations are in French language. The film is suitable to watch for every ages. But some scenes may be risky for children like when Sabine kissed Mr. Bean’s cheek to thank him and her low cut dress revealed part of her breasts. The film also shows a view of the beach where Mr. Bean was supposed to go, and there are a lot of women wearing bikinis. This is not good for teenagers.

Growing Number of High School Student Smoking

Newsworthy events
A survey has found about 13 percent of first-time smokers in the country are junior high school students. It also revealed 89 percent of young female employees were smokers.


Background of events
The survey was conducted in five major cities across the country, including Surakarta in Central Java.

Muhammad Syahril Mansyur, the Surakarta Health Agency’s respiratory illness division, said that the finding of the survey showed an alarming growth rate of Indonesian smokers. "This situation is a cause for concern,” he said. “It appears the country’s younger generation is uneducated about the health risks of smoking.”

The Indonesian anti-tobacco campaign has reportedly been deemed as ineffective as the government refuses to sign the international convention on tobacco control. It said that cigarette producers contributed to a large amount to state revenue and gave jobs to thousands of workers.

Title
Controlling children using computer
Thesis
Computer and internet are useful as well as powerful. Information about health and safe usage of computer and Internet, especially for children, should be owned by each family. Computer connected to internet is powerful way to socialize with others. It can be good but also bad effect. Recently we hear a lot of children get the advantage of social networking sites but we often see the news about the disadvantage of it for children. Healthy and safety of computer and Internet usage should continue to be campaigned.

Argument
The role of parent in assisting and directing children in using computer is very necessary. Installation of software monitor such as key logger which has function to watch and note all activities relating to keyboard usage is helpful but not enough to protect children from potential harms. Children tend to hide what they have done in front of the computer to their parent. They see that all of they have done are their privacy and no one may know.

Reiteration
We can not prevent children from using computer because it is multifunctional. However, many parents worry about what their kids do in front of the computer; whether they are doing homework or even just playing games. Or spending all time to surf internet which is the materials do not fit with his age. There is a tendency, especially teenagers, want to become acquainted with many strangers out side. The lack parental supervision of children's activities is likely to pose a potential danger to them. So parental monitor against the use of computers needs to be done from time to time.
