#8 TED Talk

Jessi Arrington :舊衣新穿

https://www.ted.com/talks/jessi_arrington_wearing_nothing_new?language=zh-tw

The following is my summary.

Jessi Arrington brought a great lecture.We are always like the new and hate the old and buy new clothes.Her clothes are secondhand.This can not only save money but also avoid the impact of new clothes on the environment.Self-confidence is important.If you think you wear what good looks that is nice.Wear out belongs to our own characteristics.You will be very happy.

#7 Steve Jobs’ Talk

1.And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.

2. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma.

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.Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

These three stories bring me different feelings.It is so great to make a big decision at our age.Do not know what will happen.Fortunately, he succeeded.And the frustration encountered also made him more successful.Experience of the pain is a miraculous revival.This proves that Jab is really worthy of worship.After understanding his life I was determined to work hard for own life.Set a good goal to practice.Do not let yourself regret it.

#6 English song

video:

Phil Collins - You'll Be In My Heart

The theme song of Tarzan

Tarzan - You'll be in My Heart & Two World

lyrics:

"You'll Be In My Heart"

Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight

I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different but deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know (what do they know)?
We need each other
To have, to hold.
They'll see in time
I know

When destiny calls you
You must be strong (you gotta be strong)
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
[another version says: "Believe me, you'll be in my heart"]
I'll be there from this day on,
Now and forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart (you'll be here in my heart)
No matter what they say (I'll be with you)
You'll be here in my heart (I'll be there), always
Always
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always.

# 4 Six Minute English-Is student life all good?

I chose a article Is student life all good? because I feel very close to life.

The following is my summary.

I imagine the beauty of college life When I was young. Now the real experience is different from imagination. Recently heard the school's speech called to leave the comfort circle so I want to work harder for myself.Before the university, my mood was expectation and fear of injury.Expect to grow but worry about leaving the comfort zone.We must find a balance between the two.Learn to live independently, make new friends,suffer from stress.Faced with heavy school pressure to release moderately.How to reach the solution is about to enter the community of confusion.There are what we will encounter.Hope that everyone can successfully pass the subject of this life.
