#10 Edx

I watched the video " the ethics of eating". It was taught by Andrew Chignell and William Starr from Cornell University. It talked about that everyone always face a difficult moral decision every time when we decide what to eat. Shall we think about the animal rights? Then should we try to be a vegetarian because of that? I think it's totally a difficult question.

Comment:
Steve Jobs is a adventurous person I think. Even if he had a complicated family background, he still advanced bravely. He was brave that decided to drop out of school. Then he tried to start a business. Although the triumph sometimes undulated, he never gave up. this is a good attitude that I can learn. Besides, there were some nice sentences in his speech. First, "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future." Second, "Your work is gong to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work." Last but not least, "Don't be trapped by dogma-which is living with the results of other person's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice." 

#5 English song-See You Again

See You Again


It's been a long day
Without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again

We've come a long way
From where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
When I see you again

Damn, who know?
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'd be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different
See the bigger picture
Those were the days hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place

How could we not talk about family
When family's all that we got?
Everthing I went throught you were standing there by my side
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride

It's been a long day
Without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
We've come a long way
From where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
When I see you again

First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turn to a friendship
A friendship turned into a bond
And that bond will never be broken
And the love will never get lost
And when brotherhood come first
Then the line will never be crossed

Established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reached
So remember me when I'm gone

How could we not talk about family
When family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride

So let the light guide your way
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take
Will always lead you home

It's been a long day
Without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
We've come a long way
From where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
When I see you again
When I see you again
When I see you again

The song was the soundtrack of the 2015 action film Furious 7 as a tribute to the late Paul Walker, who died in a single-vehicle accident on November 30, 2013.It is recorded by American rapper Wiz khalifa, featuring American singer Charlie Puth. 

Words and Sentences
1.damn 
ex: Damn! I hit my thumb with the hammer.
2.path
ex: His path through life was hard.
3.guide
ex: He guided the ship safely into harbor.

I really like the action film, the Furious not to mentioned, Paul Walker. When I knew the bad news, I felt so sad and couldn't believe it. The melody of See You Again is sentimental and expression. It also can let me recall Paul Walker. The lyrics are not difficult to realize to me. Moreover, first section, from It's been a long day" to "When I see you again"is my favorite. Because it let me believe that I truly can meet him or her I miss again. But then, whenever listening to this song, I always sick at heart.

#4 Six Minute English

I choose the episode of Are we afraid of food?Because I enjoy to eat food.
It talks about some people should be care of eating food on account of the allergy. Maybe it's peanuts, gluten, milk, seafood and so on. And some doctor indicated that sterile is not good for babies. It will affect the immune system and get worse and worse. There is also a theory that being too clean or bacteria-free has lead to an increase in allergies. Finally, it shows that Adrenalin is used to treat a severe allergic reaction.

#3 ESLpod

Other episode: ESL Podcast 1247 – Doing Meal Planning

My comments on ESL Podcast:

The content is very short that students are willing to learn from it. ESL Podcast also provides the listening section. We can listen to any parts we want for many times. And we can try to learn the new words by statements in English or synonyms. The bad thing I don't like is speed. It is too slow especially while spelling the words. After all, it can truly help improve the English. But, I don't like it.
