After I saw a small paragraph, I felt that the painting style was cute, but the plot was not always interesting, but there were some words that I had never seen before, so I think that it was still a good way for learning English.👌

Later, at the ceremony, the king’s barber knew about it, but keeping this secret led his body to be abnormal, so he decided to tell the secret to the tree hole.

After a while, a drummer found the tree and made it into a drum to perform to the king. Suddenly, the drum opened its mouth and said the secret.

The king was angrily wanted to throw him in the dungeon, but at this time a minister came out to speak and told the king that everyone knew the secret, but everyone was afraid that the king would be angry.

The king finally realized that he was a very bad father, so he released his son and marched in the city.

While I'm Swingin' nine to four

While I go la la la la A sip of a wine 

There's plenty of time 

The pleasure is mine 

She's awfully swell 

And she knows me so well 

And she'd go singing on the sofa 

While I'm strummin my guitar

Why do I like this song?

First, because it's sung by my favorite singer-JJ Lin, and Jazz is not the style he often has, so it's particularly attractive to me.😊

Second, Cinderella's lyrics are beautiful, and go with the sound of JJ Lin, gives me a romantic feeling. 😍

Last, I like the rhythm of this song. it makes me feel laid-back and immersed in music. 

After listening to this song, I feel more relaxed and happy, that's why I like this song.
And hope you'll like it after listening to it~~~😄

After watching this talk, I know a new country, a new community and a new type of art.

The speakers went to a slum, and had an artistic idea-painted the community, with the local residents.

Originally, I felt that street art was already a special type of art, but after watching the talk, this new type of art gave me different feeling. When the speakers showed their work, it was really amazing to me. 

In addition, speakers mentioned that the area was originally in the news because of bad things, but through the action for painting the community, there are more people in the world can see this community because of the good reason.👍

Last, I think it's a meaningful talk, and also entertaining. Through the talk, you can gain new knowledge, so I recommend this talk to you, and hope you will like it too!😄
