3 words :
robust - a robust person is strong and healthy
a robust man of six feet for

diffuse - to make heat, light, liquid etc spread through something, or to spread like this
The pollutants diffuse into the soil.

intervene - to become involved an argument, fight, or other difficult situation in order to change what happens
The police don’t usually like to intervene in disputes between husbands and wives.

My thoughts on the talk :
I was attracted by the title.
I think we shouldn’t have too much contact with strangers but the speaker didn’t  think so.
We should leave familiar environment, getting along with unfamiliar things.
I agree this views.
Because I think if we don’t hug strangers, we omay stay in comfort zone and never grow up.
Though the video, let me think about whether the truth we thought we could be broken.


Comments

  1. Test our comfort zone and connect with strangers to broad our views. Very good idea thought not easy to do.

The king let a barber cut his son's hair. He warned the barber don't say the secret which the prince's ears like ox to anyone. But the barber said the secret to the old tree, the king also knew it. Finally,  the prince was relieved instead of hidden of house. Have a nice ending.

#6 online comic

Through the class, I know this website. I read Episode 2:The Magic Contest The story about Pepper&Carrot p articipate in a magic game. At the game, Carrot is sleeping, so let Pepper feel embarrassed. Finally, Pepper&Carrot are  actually contestants and referees. The story isn' t as funny as other comics but it can help me learn English. I can read it when I have free time.
