Hey Junhao,

you almost got it right, good job! :) However there are two flaws in your code: Firstly you don't need semicolons (;) after statements in Python and secondly print is a function which means that you have to give a to it in parenthesis.

Like so:

def loopy(items):
    for a in items:
      if a == 'STOP':
        break
      print(a)

I hope that helps! :)
