Photographs and videos have become vital to communication, education, and preservation of current happenings.

Just like in a saying “Behind every successful person is a notebook full of ideas.

Materials for note-taking practice are none other than but notebook and pen. Writing through pen somehow gives us the real presence of a writer.
Despite being a “media” writer, basic references such as a dictionary, thesaurus, etc. are also crucial to us. Especially, in conducting research. It can provide us general background information (facts, definitions, dates, details), assistance in focusing our topic, factual and statistical information, and references to other sources of information.
