#9 View on Vocaroo >> This TED talk is talking about a researc h on what keep us a healthy and happy life, and in the beginning of this speech, there was a survey of millennials' goals, and over 80 percent was become rich, to be honest, that's my goal, too, because with money, you can do anything! you can buy what you want, do what you wanna do, i know someone will say that you can't feel happy with your money, but what if the money can't let you feel satisfied, then what else? I think the answer is in this speech, a good relationships, but the point is not about the quantity, is about the quality. Although relationships is messy and complicating, a close relationships are good for our health and well-being, even though there will some arguments or fights, as long as we feel we can really count on the other, those arguments and fights didn't take a toll on our memories.

TED talk: Inside the mind of a master procrastinator -Vocabulary 1.procrastinate: (v.)To keep delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring. 2. propagate: (v.)To produce a new plant from a parent plant. (v.)To spread opinions, lies, or beliefs among a lot of people. 3. dormant: (adj.)Something that is dormant is not active or growing but has the ability to be active at a later time. -Summary Although I've heard this TED talk for many times, I still think that we should do things right away, not just ignore them, because the more procrastination, the more things you have to do in a bad way.

#2 Are the speaking and listening tasks difficult for you? What are the challenges you often face when you listen and speak in English? I learned English for about 14、15 years, and the most difficult learning task I thinks is speaking tasks, because I've memorized many vocabulary words, but I always can't recall it all and use them when I needs to talk about it, although I can recognize those when I read some articles, I just can't recall those vocabulary when I needs to uses those, but my high school teacher said that you don't have to talk with difficult words, talking is a way to communicate, so you can speak English with easy words, even if you can't recall the difficult words, you can speak with a easy way.
