TED
"The Art of Social Media" which is written by Guy Kawasaki gives some useful websites. We explained each sites except TED and I used it to brush up my Listening Skills in Japan so that I researched it more.
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a media organization and has held a conference once a year since 1984. In 2006, they started to broadcast the conference on the Internet and became famous. The speakers have eighteen-minute limit and make some of the most intellectually stimulating speeches.
I want to focus on attractive titles of the videos, such as "A woman's fury holds lifetime of wisdom", "Why you should make useless things", or "Need a new idea? Start at the edge of what is known". When you write a blog, a catchy title for a blog would attract many readers. Therefore, you can learn how to put wonderful titles from TED.
Moreover, Japanese students often use TED to study English because students can listen to fluent English. And TED can display subtitle in many languages so that it is easy for Japanese students to study English.
Please try it! And if you find something interesting, please tell me! :)

I also often use TED in order to practice English. The subtitle option is very useful for me to practice grammars, and to know new vocabularies. The TED is very useful but Constantly Curious, which is created by TED is also my “study buddy”! Just like TED, Constantly Curious put a forcus on one topic, and give us enormous information with easy sentences. Unlike TED, Constantly Curious often uses a cartoon or an anime to tell us a great story. I highly reccomend your to watch one of Constantly Curious movie! You can just follow the page on Facebook, and can watch whenever you want!
ReplyDeleteI have listened to numerous TED talks before for multiple reasons, usually for school. I can say that I did not know about the feature where you can listen to a talk and have another language captioned for you while you listen. That is really helpful. The titles usually do catch a person's attention and I think you are right about using a catchy title for a blog too!
