ISG 4th week: General Tso's Chicken

[Rock]

Yeah, I finally get to force some people to watch TED Talks with me. Hope you won't hate me too much for choosing a chubby lady. For your convenience, it's here:

Should we go like this?
1. Why they laugh? In her speech, the audiences laughs eight times. What are all those jokes or funny things? Do you get the punch lines?
2. Why they don't laugh? There is a story from the dark side in this speech. Would you share something about it?
3. What's new? Do you learn something new from it?

THANY YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

That means good looking people never need to apologize for not having anything interesting to say.
