Hello, I'm Jason.
For the questions, do you procrastinate sometimes?
My answer is yes. And I think is more than sometimes. Just like the time I do this homework.
And then, Why do you procrastinate?
I think we always think we have enough time to use and we are easily affected by the environment. Like what Tim Urban says, I often distract by Facebook ,Youtube, Instagram or something else.
And how to stop procrastinating?
I think there's no body can really stop procrastinating, so what we can do is that remove the things that will distract you from your environment and make your own to-do-list and maybe try to complete the works before the deadline.
Thank you for listening.

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator

1. procrastination(n.): the act of delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring
=> This is no time for procrastination - we need decisive action.

2. epiphany(n.): a moment when you suddenly feel that you understand, or suddenly become conscious of, something that is very important to you
=> We did not expect anybody to stand up and holler that they had epiphany.

3. hypothesis(n.): an idea or explanation for something that is based on known facts but has not yet been proved
=> Several hypotheses for global warming have been suggested.

Summarize the talk
We need to think about what we're really procrastinating on, because everyone is procrastinating on something in life.Long-term procrastination--much less visible and much less talked about.
Consider thinking harder on the goals and dreams you're really procrastinating on, before you run out of time.

The power of passion and perseverance

1. grit(n.): courage and determination despite difficulty
=> It takes true grit to stand up to a bully.

2. stamina(n.): the physical and/or mental strength to do something that might be difficult and will take a long time
=> The triathlon is a great test of stamina.

3. inversely(adv.): in such a way that one amount gets bigger as another gets smaller
=> One study found that the risk of a stroke is inversely related to eating nuts.

4. perseverance(n.): continued effort and determination
=> Through hard work and perseverance, he worked his way up to the top.

5. perspective(n.): a particular way of considering something
=> Because of its geographical position, Germany's perspective on the situation in Russia is very different from Washington's.

Introduce to the talk
Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals and is the key that make you successful.
Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Can you trust a smart speaker?

1. Do you have a smart speaker at home?

A: 

Yes, it's my smart phone with Siri.

2. What is a smart speaker?

A:

A smart speaker is a wireless, voice activated device that uses integrated virtual assistant software to obtain information or perform tasks and provide the results aurally for the user to hear. A smart display does the same thing but presents its results visually on a screen in addition to through a speaker.

3. How does a smart speaker work?

A: 

The key to the operation of smart speakers is the voice recognition technology that is used. Using voice recognition, it is possible for the smart speaker to understand what is being said and act upon it.

In common public perception, smart speakers and smart devices are almost indistinguishable from the virtual assistants that power them. But the virtual assistants are also used in smartphones, PC operating systems and even some televisions. The "magic" in a smart display or smart speaker is that it frees users from those other devices and allows them to ask questions or give commands simply by speaking from anywhere in a room.

Comment on the transport system here in Taiwan

According to my opinion, the transport system in Taiwan should be improve and expand to every part of our country to let our citizen could have the opportunity to have a ride to travel every where from here to there and implant new policy to increase the amount of the passenger.
I think the most important thing is that our transport system developing too slowly. The main question is motorcycle. It's too convenient to use in life so we must to figure out this problem. And the other question is nobody want traffic engineering near our home so it caused transport system couldn't develop well.

Are the speaking and listening tasks difficult for you? What are the challenges you often face when you listen and speak in English?

The speaking task is actually kinda difficult for me, so I would say yes.
I think I have more difficult in speaking tasks because I can't link all the vocab I know to construct a sentence in the very short time and I'll be nervous when talk to other.
(Like why do we speak in English one and other when we can actually speak Chinese? :))

My new plan this year!

It's a busy summer vacation. All of us are working hard in welcome camp, so there's no time to do other thing.
I'll try my best to face this semester, because the third semester will be harder than before.
Although I had no problem facing my last semester, I still won't underestimate this year.
I also plan to quit my part-time job to help my uncle's new beverage store and learning Korean.
I hope everything go well in this year and wish everyone have a nice year.
