     One of the skills possessed by a human is Verbal Linguistic which is characterized by the ability to use good language through speaking and writing. If you are already fluent in writing and speaking, it is easier for you to channel your idea through words and writing. People who are not confident in public speaking usually express their opinions through writing, therefore writing is one of the skillsets that all of us must hone.

     In 2021, ITB Model United Nations (ITB MUN) again present for its 5th annual session which was designed to provide excellent academic quality and experience. ITB MUN had 2 councils which later developed into 4 councils in the second session. One of the contests that ITB held was journalist or press.

In the interview that was held on 8th June 2021, Nadia said that she was assigned to cover different councils in each session, which are UN Women, World Bank, UNODC, and Crisis Committee. During the competition, there were four topics that she must finish within 3 hours for each topic.
