How to make Your Game Consoles Last Longer There several points to make your game consoles last longer. First, be
careful with your games. Never leave a disc inside the console when you are not using it, and always put a disc back in its case. Next, keep your
console away from any magnetic forces if it has an internal hard disk or any storage disk at all. This can harm the contents of the disk and corrupt
game saves and other files that are important. After that, avoid exposing the console to direct sunlight, or intense heat. Just keep your console at a
room temperature. Then, be careful when handling the console, you must not drop it, as doing so will damage the console parts. After that, do not
touch the lens. The lens is what reads the discs you insert, and touching it will stop it from reading them properly. Then, do not play the console to
long that make it overheat. Next, unplug all cables that are connected before cleaning the console. Refer to the console‟s instruction manual to
find out how to clean it. Finally, store it properly. If you are not going to use your console for a very long time, unplug it and pack it away in its
box.
C. Feedback
1. Definition of Feedback
Feedback is therefore, as argued by Hyland, an inseparable, integral and central element in language learning generally and in learning to
write particularly. It is the input and means that provides writers with a set of information such as the reader‟s needs and expectations and
whether students‟ writings have met such expectations and more
importantly, it offers an additional layer of scaffolding to extend writing skills, promote accuracy and clear ideas, and develop an understanding of
written genres.

Hyland and Hyland consider feedback is a key element of the scaffolding provided by the teacher to build learner confidence and
the literacy resources to participate in target communities.

Feedback occurs in a context of a particular kind institutional, pedagogical; it
appears between
participants of
particular identities
teacherpeerlearner; it is delivered by a particular medium peer, conference, written comments; and it is designed to accomplish certain
educational, pedagogical and social purposes. Hyland argues that the written feedback that teachers provide on their students‟ writing should be
“more than marks on a page”

feedback on writing: a.
