TED TALK

I listen  Grit: The power of passion and perseverance

And after I listened the speech, I figure that why the successful people usually are 
foreigner, because they can think different on education, different from Taiwan,
parent's and teachers don't attention on children's grades only, they don't judge 
children on grades only, they attention on children's thinking, let kids develops
he/herself so that's why foreign's kids usually have more creativity and imagination,
I think that is the problem in Taiwan need to improve immediately.

After watched this aw-inspiring speech, I was shocked and realized many things.

There are some good sentences I founded 

1.You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward, you have to trust that dots will somehow connect in your future 

2.Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith

3.The only way to do great work is to love what you do

4.“If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.”

5.Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

This speech gave me lots of opinion, tell the truth I am confused about what I can do in the future, what I should do after I graduate? Those questions bother me few months, I was trapped. And the speech let me learn a lot and gives me directions, I'll do my best to achieve my goal without hesitation.

Cities of the future

I select the "Cities of the future" from 6 minute English, which is the most attractive in  my first sight. What will the future looks like? We can imagine infinity. Cars fly in the air, robots walk on the streets, nobody need to go out for work just work at home...... That's possibility not dreams any more. The technology's advancement is more quick then our think. We need to prepare to face the word's change anytime

Comments of ESL Podcast

The ESL Podcast is a good way to learning English without doubt. The content is about real life talking, is very useful in our daily conversation. And it explain many vocabulary and phrase in detail. But I think the only problem is the speed, the talking speed is too slow for me I'll doze off wen I listening, I prefer the normal speed such like the last 2 minutes it's better and close to the real talking.
