Hi there! When a challenge reports that a previous step isn't passing it's generally because you've introduced a syntax error in your code. Such is the case here. There are currently two problems with your code:

  • The newline character \n must go inside the quotation marks with the rest of your string.
  • You've misspelled the word "original" as "orginal". Double-check your spelling here.

I feel confident that you can get this working with these hints, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:

Hi Jennifer and two more question:

  1. How many hours a day you spend on study! I think it is crazy score for that period of time, since you start!
  2. Do you review the subjects, after a while? (I mean coming back and review video after you all ready pass the subject a week or two ago)
