哈囉,歡迎來到我的部落格!許多學生問我是否有臉書。答案是我沒有,而且我也不喜歡Facebook!所以我製作了這個網站,要與大家分享我的興趣,以及我在台灣的生活。在這裡,我還會討論歌曲音樂、電影、字彙、文法、英文常犯錯誤與學習英語的小竅門。希望你們不僅覺得這網站很有趣,更能幫助你我,一起來創造一個好用的線上英語互動園地。

The Social Network







This one of the best movies I have seen this year. The story is interesting - although I don't know how 'true' it is - and the dialogue is very very good. In this scene, facebook founder Zuckerberg is being sued by three former associates. Their lawyer asks him a question at 0.26. Listen to Zuckerberg's response. The dialogue in the movie is very fast, so you might have to listen quite a few times.
