My thoughts on the talk

　　I think TED talk is a convenient web ,because you can switch multiple language subtitles.At the beginning,I don't know what the speaker expression,So I switch Chinese subtitle to understand what the speaker is saying.After that I switch English subtitle see it again and record I words I don't know.
