Tuesday, Dec 2nd, 19:30 - 21:30, join us at TED discussions in English for INTERMEDIATE+. We watch very interesting presentations from TED Talks conference and discuss them. Registration required english4life.timepad.ru/event/159122/ This time we are watching: 1/ Emily Balcetis: Why some people find exercise harder than others. Why do some people struggle more than others to keep off the pounds? Social psychologist Emily Balcetis shows research that addresses one of the many factors: Vision. In an informative talk, she shows how when it comes to fitness, some people quite literally see the world differently from others — and offers a surprisingly simple solution to overcome these differences. 2/ Rosie King: How autism freed me to be myself. “People are so afraid of variety that they try to fit everything into a tiny little box with a specific label,” says 16-year-old Rosie King, who is bold, brash and autistic. She wants to know: Why is everyone so worried about being normal? She sounds a clarion call for every kid, parent, teacher and person to celebrate uniqueness. It’s a soaring testament to the potential of human diversity. Lets discuss it! =)
