I choose the class name is Introduction to Marketing, it makes from The University of British Columbia.

I very like they talk about marketing view, but I don’t have enough time to read the end, at the short time I find they use very easy picture or case to let you know, so I will not feel boring in the class.

Today I choose the TED talk is 10 ways to have a better conversationalists form Celeste Headlee.

The website link：

https://www.ted.com/talks/celeste_headlee_10_ways_to_have_a_better_conversation/transcript?language=zh-tw#t-47995

Number 3 : Use open ended questions.

Number 4 : Go with the flow.

Number 5 : If you don’t know ,say that you don’t know.

Number 6 : Don’t equate your experience with theirs.

Number 7 : Try not to repeat yourself , it’s condescending and it’s really boring.

Number 8: Stay out of the weeds.

Number 9 : Listen.

Number 10: Be brief.

All of them to the same basic concept is be interested in other people.

Learn new word :

ex : Women seem to be able to multitask better than men.

  to give your opinion about something in a way that shows you think you are always right

#7 Steve Jobs’ Talk

Today our class have the report to talk about YouTube and language learning, that reference a good talk from Steve Job at Stanford.

The website link：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc

Good words and sentences：

1. You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards.

2. That kept me going was that I loved what I did.

3. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

4. intuition(直覺)

the ability to know something by using your feelings rather than considering the facts

ex：Intuition told her that he had spoken the truth.

5.typography(印刷樣式)

for printing, especially of designing how text will appear when it is printed

The three stories for my life：

I think many people to do things in order to conform family expectancy but only a small part of people can look for thing they want to do, after I listen the talks I feel I have more courage because the talks give me a good technique that is to imagine the face of death whether you will decide to do or not.

#5 All Ears English

Today I found a great site in my learn English class,  the site name is all ears English.
This is address : https://www.allearsenglish.com/

I shared three conversational music phrases that I learned from the episode,  the first one is "That's music to my ears" ,it means something  noise to make you feel nice ; second one is "play it by ear", it means to do something spontaneously without a plans and the last one is "Toot (someone's) own horn ,it means someone to brag himself or herself.

In the end, I feel the episode is very interesting, but actually I really don't know they talk about when I listened at the first time, but I listened it more times that became simple to know, they talk about conversational music phrases ,and them how to use in our life, I didn't listen the conversational music phrases before I heard the episode, so I learn new thing from the listen today.
