I watched CNN news on the internet.I watched it from 20:55 to 21:15.Title of this news is "The secret lives of cats caught on camera.
The proffesor of Georgia university put small camera on 60 pets cats.While owners do not look at their cats, they are jumping over fences, acrossing the roofs.The most popular place for cats was under the car. Also, they kills creature such as a mouse. 44 percents of the cats did any hunting while they go out.
I listened this news more than once and take notes. ALSO, I tried to guess from context. I think I understand 60 percent of the article.It was hard for me to catch words because they speak fast.
I viewed Ted Talk and watched "Dan Gilbert: The surprising science of happiness". It's about 21 minutes long.
The professor claimed that the happiness can be synthesized. He shared many experiments he did to convince the audiences that if we have some limited condition, we will be happier. Finally, the professor concluded that we won't be happy unless our ambition was bounded.
I will focus on key words and guess the meaning to help me realize the speech.
I think my weakness is vocabulary, because I can't fully understand the meaning in the lecture which led me to understand only 60% of the content.
I watched a TED talk "Kevin Allocca: Why videos go viral" three times for about 30 minutes.
Short summary: Kevin Allocca, who is the trends manager at YouTube, argues that popular videos at YouTube contains three elements; tastemakers, community participation, and unexpectedness. Tastemakers find and share that with a larger audience, and creative community participates by spreading it or by doing something new and unexpected with it. He thinks that they will change the definition of media and culture in the future.
I listened more than once and search for key words. I think I understand 70 percent of the article because the speaker used easy words and a lot of movies to explain it, but It was hard for me to catch up with his speed of speech.
I have watched some episodes of the Tv show called "Between Two Ferns" three times for about 25 minutes.
These are really a funny interviews, in which tv presenter Zach Galifianakis, a comedy actor, speaks with various actors like Ben Stiller, Steve Carell, Bruce Willis, etc. Zach teases these guests with bizzarre and inappropriate questions. For example, he shows bad clips of some famous films in which the guests act.
I listened for find key words and particular slangs. I think I understand 70% of these shows because they speak so fast and use some difficult slangs.
I watched NBC nightly news in internet. This video takes about 20 minutes.
This new program broadcasted main 4 kinds of news. The political news discussed about the election of president. Second, the program broadcast about the grave forest fires. They reported virus which is infected by mosquito. Patients are increasing by mosquito. At last, they reported the late child cause charitable movement in the U.S. Then the movement enabled poor people in Ethiopia to supply water.
I listened more than once then, I guessed from context. I could understand only 60% of the news. This podcast is difficult for me to hear each word.
I watched TED talk and the title was "Charlie Todd: The shared experience of absurdity" I listened this video for about 25 minutes.
Charlie studied acting and comedy, and he carried out a project about making unusual situations in the public place to make people laugh. Many people participated in his project and acted many strange things in the train, library, etc. Charlie said playing is good, and also having fun time is very good. Finally, he said there is no right and wrong way to play.
I listened this video more than once to find the main ideas, and also listened for information for meanings. I think I understand 60% of the show. I couldn't catch some vocabularies because the speaker speaks so fast.
I watched 'Philip Zimbardo: The psychology of time' on TED Talk on Internet; it took about 40 minutes for me to listen several times.
Summary: In "The psychology of time", Philip Zimbardo insists that people should apply 'time perspective' to arrange their life well. Zimbardo states that most of people are defeated by temptation because they focus on getting small benefit right now, not on great benefit in the future. He adds to it that children who focus on the future can get higher score in tests as a result. He also says, however, to bias our preference too strongly on either present or future is not good. He suggests that it's important to arrange three kinds of 'time perspective'(past, present, future), that is, to use our identity in the past, about ourselves in the present, and challenge in the future for making decision for success.
I listened to this several times. I understood this about 50% at the first time because the speaker was talking so fast and it was difficult to catch idea itself.
I watched a TED talks, “Steve Jobs: How to live before you die” twice for about 30 minutes.
Steve Jobs speaks about 3 stories of his life. First one is about connecting the dots, second is about love and lost, and last one is about death. Though these 3 stories, he states that it is important to do what you want to do, following your hart. And he says, stay hungry and stay foolish.
I tried to catch the contents deeply, but it was difficult for me a little because I couldn’t catch words, so I could understand only 60%.
I watched TED takls,and the title was "Mark Forsyth: What’s a snollygoster? A short lesson in political speak".I listened it three times for 25 minutes.
Mark Forsyth claim that lots of politicians try to create their image by speaking in the different way.They always use the word carefully. Is this method really effective to what they want? That's really an important question which we should think about. That may be not really effective to what the politician thinks. Mark Forsyth tell the thinking of himself in the video.
I try my best to realize the all article.But,I lost lots of part in my first time.I think I only understood the 50% of the video.
I watched Taylor’s YouTube chat which is spoken by Taylor Swift; it was about 25min.
Taylor told us about her new album which is called “RED”, and it will be released worldwide on October 22ed. This album contains 16 songs (but actually she wrote 30 to 35 songs for this album) which are all related with her relationships. She named the album RED that is because of the tumultuous, crazy adventures in love loss that it chronicles. I’m a huge fun of her, so I’m really looking forward to listen it. Also I would like to go to her world tour of this album.
I listened only one time, but I could understand almost 80% of this video, because it was like a casual speaking, not like a formal speaking.
I watch Discovery Channel which talk about black tina on the internet.It takes me about 30 minutes
Discovery channel claim that black tuna has been a valuable food for several decades, and that cause the decline of the number of black tuna.According to scients research there are 83 percents of black tuna disappear in the ocean since 1950.That also mean that we are going to destroy our most important resource in the ocean.If we can't stop the situation we will be run out of grain in next century.
I can catch most of the point,however some of the academic words are too difficult for me.
I watched "NHK~Begin Japanology~cherryblossoms~"on You tube and it took about 30 minutes.
Summary: There are many kinds of cherry blossom, and these are different a few by district in japan. For example colors and shapes in flower, and the season when these come out. Japanese people look forward to holding cherry blossom viewing party in spring season. Cherry blossom can make some materials. For example furniture made with wood, sakuramochi which used a leaf of cherry blossom. Viewing of cherry blossom began in Nara Era(710-794) and cherry blossoms have been motif many times in Japanese stories and poets. Therefore cherry blossoms are symbol of spring in all Japanese people. But recently some cherry blossoms are weakened because of climate change these days. So it is necessary to do maintenance of cherry blossom to stop decaying and many Japanese tackled this problem voluntarily. And now we are able to view this beautiful cherry blossoms in japan.
I listened this documentary a few times. I think I can understand about 60%. I think it difficult to understand what is most important thing in hole movie.
I watched "Caitria and Morgan O’Neill: How to step up in the face of disaster" at TED.I have listened for about 25 minutes and two times.The first time I can only understand 60%,but after the second time,I can understand about 75%.
The story is about O'Neill sisters who went back to their hometown to help residents after a tornado.At first, they didn't know anything about disaster recovery, but they decided to work on their own.They learned a lot from the process.
I think the biggest challenge with the listening are speed. It's a bit fast so I have to be really concentrate on it.
I watched "Michael Tilson Thomas: Music and emotion through time." at TED. It took about 20 minutes.
I think this movie gave me some advice. Because we can listen to music everyday, so we can find some emotion like happiness, sadness and some ideas. Michael's father had given Michael many ideas in his childhood. I learned that if we follow the melody, we can find many emotion in the music. And I have heard many kinds of music which I haven't heard in this movie. So I have enjoyed when I watched this movie.
I watched this movie only one time. I think that I can understand about 60%. But there are so many new words that I can not understand, if I want to understand about 80% or 90%, I think I need to improve my vocabulary and watch this movie about ten times.
This story is about one love. There is a couple in a faily tale. And then, the princess suddenly disappeared and moved to REAL world. Prince also came to present time to save her. However, many of characters disturb them. They met a lot of funny people. Some of them will help princess, but some of them are dangerous. They will face serious situation later in this movie.
It's story as a kind of musical. All of songs in the movie are related to the story, so we can enjoy those songs.
I watched this only one time, but it's comes from Disney. That's why, it's easy one, I think. I could understand 85 persent of this 20mins. Anyway, this time I could watch only a few minutes, so I'll try to see all of them if I have some time for that.
wow.
