4. Relate the historical events to the relevant quotes
We got the picture Nylon Chen, who is a liberty and democracy fighter in Taiwan. The
back ground took the place where he first founded Freedom Era Weekly, a magazine
criticize political issue then, which was illegal at that time. The change brought about
by this is enormous, not only motivated Taiwanese then to join sport, but also
brought a hope for fighting for their own true liberty. It gives me an enlightenment of
the change may not be a kind of actual action, it can be a mental change.

cope with 應付 informative 信息量大 catastrophic 災難性的 be gripped in 被夾住
tyranny 暴政 confront 面對 obsessed with 被...迷住 perseverance 毅力 hardy 耐寒
resilient 有彈性的
the course is mainly talking about the power of “yet”. “yet” brings the motivation to
children who struggle or encounter in a challenge, the word told kids that everyone
has the chance to solve the problem and improve themselves, the positive vibes also
let children have the growth mindset to keep going toward the aim. What ever the
difficulty is, the children with growth mindset encourage them to start running their
brain even they already realize the question is already ahead of what they known,
and that is a ability all students should have, to try.

Before we watch the TED talk video, we define the word “invention” as a brand-new
Innovational object that brings convenience to human, we thought that a successful
invention may help human be more efficient. However, what made William’s
invention successful by the situation he was in, and all the difficulties he
encountered define this is an “invention” even though William is not the first human
to create a windmill. To change status que is another key element of a good
invention.
