Weird, or just different?

TED stands for technology, entertainment and design. It brings together the most fascinating thinkers and doers who are challenged to give a talk in only 18 minutes o less.

In this opportunity, I have chosen the following video

Task 1 (easy): Watch it





Task 2 (a little demanding): discuss about the topic presented in the video with your partner and take notes about your ideas. Then write a short paragraph about the topic and your opinion. You can read the comments left by other viewers to pick up ideas and/or vocabulary.


Task 3 (more demanding but not imossible):
Let’s test your reading skills! Pay attention to the website and find out the answers to the following questions and write them in comments:
- What is the speaker’s name? Why do you think he is so special to be invited to TED?

- Can you get the script of the video? How?


- How can you share this video with your cyber friends? Can you publish it in any social network? Which one/s?

-Who can add comments?

-What does the speaker says about Chinese doctors?

Task 4 (take your time) : Look for another video to recommend and share with your partners :)

  5. I think that countries have different cultures that we have to respect to can understand them. The video is interesting because we can see in it an example of what happen when you dont know about the life in other countries. Mariana 5D

  6. I think that the way of use things is diferent on every culture,even the words that we use have a diferent meaning, no matter if it is the same word in another language.And that show us how diferent we are from each other.

  7. I think that the idea is very interesting. He talks about different cultures, and there is not a truth about how a country works. We have to understand and respect those differents ways of living. Personally, I think that looking for an specific house is very difficult in Japan!
