Week 8 Listening Exercise


Hello All,

This week we have a shorter and easier presentation to look at. This is a TED Talk - which means that it has subtitles. Please do not look at the subtitles available in your native language. If you must use subtitles, then enable the English subtitles after you've listened to the presentation a few times.

The presentation is available here or 

Enjoy the long weekend, and we'll see you on Tuesday.

1 Does it help to tell someone your goals?

2 Why is telling someone your goal a bad idea?

3 When was this idea most recently tested?

4 Why do some of the pictures have zippers on their mouths?

5 What can you do to better reach your goals (2 things)?

Bonus Question:
What is the expression in English that means "be quiet" that is referred to - but not used - in the video?
