My second LSP course homework in Oct 2th Name: Daphne (Ting Wang) Listening Log Date&Time: Oct 2th/2016 Source: http://www.ted.com/talks/cameron_russell_looks_aren_t_everything_believe_me_i_m_a_model General Topic: Looks are not represent everything Summary of key points: A model, named Cameron Russel, told all of audience good looks are not everything, she changed her clothes from modern style to normal even classic style in the TED stage, she was being a model for ten years, she is a lucky white-skin girl with good looking, good lottery and have a good legacy. That’s why she became a model. Her appearance in real life and in image have so many difference that people even can’t believe they are same people in the same period. Teenagers, specially little girl always ask her “how to be a model like you”, but it is almost always no way if you are non-white. So, Russel suggested these little girl which want to be a model in the future, to be model’s boss. Because they have more choice and can control their life and more awesome than being a model. Personal Reflection/Observation: The model were talk nonsense, totally. I don’t think this talk was successful, because I wonder her words and sentences were NO LIGIC, NO TOPIC, and NO MOST IMPORTANT POINT. I just want to ask her, Are you share your good looking to audience and world when you stay in the stage? Why you still flaunt your experience about being a model were so cool but we can’t to be because we are non-white. It’s too crazy and boring even make me angry. New vocabulary, Phrases/Idioms/Expressions: 1. Superficial Part of speech: adjectives Definition: just stay in someone or something’s surface ONLY, not deep inside or find another way to understand more. Sentence: some young girl and young woman are too superficial to this colorful social, they only know make up and fighting with each other. 2. Immutable Part of speech: adjectives Definition: someone or something cannot change continually Sentence: I believe Nothing in this world is immutable. For instance, your face, you can go to hospital to make a face-lifting. Maybe just change a little bit, but you did it.
