- Birke Baehr: What's wrong with our food system

http://www.ted.com/talks/birke_baehr_what_s_wrong_with_our_food_system#t-229509



Why i think it is worth listening ?
Because recently, our food system is a hot talk.  For example, the swill oil, pesticide residue of  tea leaves, and  many years ago of clouding agent event , etc.

This speaker , Birke Baehr , is a eleven years old boy , who argues unreal picture of big-box agriculture as he outlines the case to green and localize food production .

The food system is very important for our life. In a generation , many vegetables become  transgenic products, but in the this talk , he says should be an organic farmer instead. And that way we have a greater impact on the world .

We can all make a difference by making different choice, by buying our food directly from local farmers. Some people say organic or local food is expensive, but  this boy's response  is  much interesting . He says we can either pay the farmer or we can pay the hospital.

#5 STORY IN MY LIFE

STORY  IN  MY  LIFE


Two years ago , i became a freshman of  National Taipei University of  Business. I am very happy that i can study in this university. But it means i have to leave for Taipei by myself.

Initially, i thought i can not live by myself. But day after day , i tried to do something with myself. For example, i tried to eat dinner , taking out the trash , doing a lots of thing all by myself. When it comes to  at that time now, i think that is a excellent decision for me. It proves that i can live by myself,  i can do anything by myself. I think that decision is a dot connecting to my life in my mind.

#4 Steve Jobs' speech

Steve Jobs' speech

I admire him for his courage to drop out. And luckily he find what he want to do. Maybe we are confused what can we do in the future, but we  hope  that we have much courage to find what we love like him. That's just what we expected.

Jobs says: Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don' lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i did. You have got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.
This section is a inspiration to me.
When we are in the troubles, we must not to be negative. We have to lift up our head .

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life."Jobs says.
We don't waste our time on unimportant things. When we live each day as if it was our last, someday we will mos certainly be right. And most important, have the courage to follow our heart and intuition.

Stay  Hungry. Stay Foolish.

ESL  Podcast 1092


I like the podcast. It is a very useful tool for me.  My hearing ability is not good , but i think ESL Podcast is a excellent  learning resource , which can make my hearing ability be better. The ESL Podcast  is systematic, which speak  slowly first time and explain the phrase or the vocabulary. Then, it speak the dialogue one more time.

At this time, we can practice the dialogue again, and pay attention to the phrase or the vocabulary.

I think I will love this learning resource !
