我從事教職已有一段很長的時間
00:18
and in doing so
1
3000
2000
而在我教書的過程當中
00:20
have acquired後天 a body身體 of knowledge知識 about kids孩子 and learning學習
2
5000
3000
我學了很多關於孩子與學習的知識
00:23
that I really wish希望 more people would understand理解
3
8000
3000
我非常希望更多人可以了解
00:26
about the potential潛在 of students學生們.
4
11000
3000
學生的潛能
00:29
In 1931, my grandmother祖母 --
5
14000
2000
1931年,我的祖母
00:31
bottom底部 left for you guys over here --
6
16000
2000
從你們那邊看過來左下角那位
00:33
graduated畢業 from the eighth第八 grade年級.
7
18000
2000
從八年級結業(相當於國中二年級)
00:35
She went to school學校 to get the information信息
8
20000
2000
她上學以取得知識
00:37
because that's where the information信息 lived生活.
9
22000
2000
因為在過去,那是知識的所在
00:39
It was in the books圖書; it was inside the teacher's教師 head;
10
24000
2000
那是在書本裡,在老師的腦袋裡
00:41
and she needed需要 to go there to get the information信息,
11
26000
3000
而她需要專程到學校取得這些知識
00:44
because that's how you learned學到了.
12
29000
2000
因為那是當時學習的途徑
00:46
Fast-forward快進 a generation:
13
31000
2000
快轉過一個世代
00:48
this is the one-room一室 schoolhouse校舍, Oak橡木 Grove樹林,
14
33000
2000
這是個只有一間教室的學校,Oak Grove
00:50
where my father父親 went to a one-room一室 schoolhouse校舍.
15
35000
2000
我父親就是在這間只有一個教室的學校就讀
00:52
And he again had to travel旅行 to the school學校
16
37000
2000
而同樣的,他不得不去上學
00:54
to get the information信息 from the teacher老師,
17
39000
2000
以從老師那兒取得知識
00:56
stored存儲 it in the only portable手提 memory記憶 he has, which哪一個 is inside his own擁有 head,
18
41000
3000
然後將這些知識儲存在他唯一可攜帶的硬碟 - 就是他自己的腦袋裡
00:59
and take it with him,
19
44000
2000
然後將這些隨身攜帶
01:01
because that is how information信息 was being存在 transported
20
46000
3000
因為這是過去知識被傳遞的唯一途徑
01:04
from teacher老師 to student學生 and then used in the world世界.
21
49000
3000
從老師傳給學生,接著在世界上使用
01:07
When I was a kid孩子,
22
52000
2000
當我還小的時候
01:09
we had a set of encyclopedias百科全書 at my house.
23
54000
2000
我們家裡有一套百科全書
01:11
It was purchased購買 the year I was born天生,
24
56000
2000
它是在我出生的那一年購買的
01:13
and it was extraordinary非凡,
25
58000
2000
而那是非常了不起的事情
01:15
because I did not have to wait to go to the library圖書館 to get to the information信息.
26
60000
3000
因為我不需要等著去圖書館取得這些知識
01:18
The information信息 was inside my house
27
63000
2000
這些知識就存在我的屋子裡
01:20
and it was awesome真棒.
28
65000
2000
而那真是太棒了
01:22
This was different不同
29
67000
2000
這個經歷
01:24
than either generation had experienced有經驗的 before,
30
69000
2000
和過去兩代相比,是非常不同的
01:26
and it changed the way I interacted互動 with information信息
31
71000
2000
這改變了我和知識互動的方式
01:28
even at just a small level水平.
32
73000
2000
即使改變的幅度很小
01:30
But the information信息 was closer接近 to me.
33
75000
2000
這些知識卻離我更近了
01:32
I could get access訪問 to it.
34
77000
2000
我可以自由的接觸它
01:34
In the time that passes通行證
35
79000
2000
從我還是個念中學的孩子
01:36
between之間 when I was a kid孩子 in high school學校

37
83000
2000
這幾年間
01:40
we really see the advent來臨 of the Internet互聯網.
38
85000
2000
我們真的親眼目睹網路的進展
01:42
Right about the time that the Internet互聯網 gets得到 going
39
87000
2000
就在網路開始
01:44
as an educational教育性 tool工具,
40

2000
我沒有告訴他們得做什麼,或是要怎麼做
02:21
I posed構成 a problem問題 in front面前 of them,

02:46
The older舊的 teachers教師 -- more experienced有經驗的 --
68
151000
2000
學校裡比較資深年長的老師
02:48
looked看著 at me and went,
69
153000
2000
看著我說
02:50
"Oh, there she is. That's so cute可愛. She's trying to get that doneDONE."
70
155000
3000
"喔,瞧瞧她,多天真,竟想試著這麼做"
02:53
(Laughter笑聲)
71
158000
2000
(大笑)
02:55
"She doesn't know what she's in for."
72
160000
2000
"她不知道她把自己陷入怎麼樣的局面"
02:57
But I knew知道 that the kids孩子 would show顯示 up,
73
162000
2000
但我知道孩子們會出席
02:59
and I believed相信 it,
74
164000
2000
而我真的這樣相信
03:01
and I told them every一切 week what I expected預期 out of them.
75
166000
3000
每個禮拜我都對他們說我是如何期待他們的表現
03:04
And that night, all 90 kids孩子 --
76
169000
2000
而那天晚上,全部九十個孩子
03:06
dressed連衣裙的 appropriately適當, doing their job工作, owning擁有 it.
77
171000
3000
每個人的穿戴整齊,各司其職,完全掌握了論壇
03:09
I had to just sit and watch.
78
174000
2000
我只需要坐在一旁看著
03:11
It was theirs他們的. It was experiential體驗. It was authentic真實.
79
176000
2000
那是他們的夜晚,那是經驗,那是真實的經驗
03:13
It meant意味著 something to them.
80
178000
2000
那對他們來說具有某些意義
03:15
And they will step up.
81
180000
2000
而他們將會更努力
03:17
From Kansas堪薩斯, I moved移動 on to lovely可愛 Arizona亞利桑那,
82
182000
3000
離開堪薩斯,我搬到美麗的亞利桑納州
03:20
where I taught in Flagstaff弗拉格斯塔夫 for a number of years年份,
83
185000
3000
我在Flagstaff小鎮教了幾年書
03:23
this time with middle中間 school學校 students學生們.
84
188000
2000
這次是教國中的學生
03:25
Luckily, I didn't have to teach them American美國 government政府.
85
190000
2000
幸運地,我這次不用教美國政治
03:27
Could teach them the more exciting扣人心弦 topic話題 of geography地理.
86
192000
3000
而是教更令人興奮的學科 - 地理
03:30
Again, "thrilled高興" to learn學習.
87
195000
3000
再一次,非常期待的要學習
03:34
But what was interesting有趣
88
199000
2000
但有趣的是
03:36
about this position位置 I found發現 myself in in Arizona亞利桑那,
89
201000
3000
在這個亞歷桑納州的教職
03:39
was I had this really
90
204000
2000
我所面對的
03:41
extraordinarily異常 eclectic不拘一格 group of kids孩子 to work with
91
206000
2000
是一群非常多樣,彼此差異懸殊的孩子
03:43
in a truly public上市 school學校,
92
208000
2000
是一所真正的公立學校
03:45
and we got to have these moments瞬間 where we would get these opportunities機會.
93
210000
3000
在那裡,有些時候,我們得到了一些機會
03:48
And one opportunity機會
94
213000
2000
而其中一個機會是
03:50
was we got to go and meet遇到 Paul保羅 RusesabaginaRusesabagina,
95
215000
3000
我們得以和Paul Russabagina 碰面
03:53
which哪一個 is the gentleman紳士
96
218000
2000
電影"盧安達飯店"
03:55
that the movie電影 "Hotel旅館 Rwanda盧旺達" is based基於 after.
97
220000
2000
是根據這位先生的事作為藍本
03:57
And he was going to speak說話 at the high school學校 next下一個 door to us.
98
222000
2000
他當時正要到隔壁的高中演講
03:59
We could walk步行 there. We didn't even have to pay工資 for the buses公共汽車.
99
224000
2000
我們可以步行到那所學校,我們甚至不用付公車車費
04:01
There was no expense費用 cost成本. Perfect完善 field領域 trip.
100
226000
3000
完全不需要額外的支出,非常完美的校外教學
04:04
The problem問題 then becomes
101
229000
2000
然後接著的問題是
04:06
how do you take seventh-第七- and eighth-graders八年級學生 to a talk about genocide種族滅絕
102
231000
2000
你要怎麼和七,八年級的學生談論種族屠殺
04:08
and deal合同 with the subject學科 in a way
103
233000
2000
用怎麼樣的方式來處理這個議題
04:10
that is responsible主管 and respectful尊敬的,
104
235000
2000
一種負責任和尊重的方式
04:12
and they know what to do with it.
105
237000
2000
讓學生們知道該怎麼面對這個議題
04:14
And so we chose選擇 to look at Paul保羅 RusesabaginaRusesabagina
106
239000
2000
所以我們決定要以 Paul Rusesabagina
04:16
as an example of a gentleman紳士
107
241000
2000
作一個模範
04:18
who singularly used his life to do something positive.
108
243000
4000
看看他如何利用自己個人的生命做些正面的事情
04:22
I then challenged挑戰 the kids孩子 to identify鑑定
109
247000
2000
接著,我挑戰這些孩子,要他們去找出
04:24
someone有人 in their own擁有 life, or in their own擁有 story故事, or in their own擁有 world世界,
110
249000
3000
在他們的生命裡,在他們自己的故事中,或是在他們自己的世界裡
04:27
that they could identify鑑定 that had doneDONE a similar類似 thing.
111
252000
2000
那些他們認為也做過類似事情的人
04:29
I asked them to produce生產 a little movie電影 about it.
112
254000
2000
我要求他們為這些人和事蹟製作一部短片
04:31
It's the first time we'd星期三 doneDONE this.
113
256000
2000
這是我們第一次嘗試製作短片
04:33
Nobody沒有人 really knew知道 how to make these little movies電影 on the computer電腦,
114
258000
2000
沒有人真的知道如何利用電腦製作短片
04:35
but they were into it. And I asked them to put their own擁有 voice語音 over it.
115
260000
3000
但他們非常投入,我要他們把自己的意見也錄進去
04:39
It was the most awesome真棒 moment時刻 of revelation啟示
116
264000
5000
那實在是最能引發反思的時刻
04:44
that when you ask kids孩子 to use their own擁有 voice語音
117
269000
3000
當你要孩子們用他們自己的聲音
04:47
and ask them to speak說話 for themselves他們自己,
118
272000
2000
要他們為自己說話
04:49
what they're willing願意 to share分享.
119
274000
2000
說那些他們願意分享的故事
04:51
The last question of the assignment分配 is:
120
276000
2000
這項作業的最後一個問題是
04:53
how do you plan計劃 to use your life
121
278000
2000
你打算怎麼利用你自己的生命
04:55
to positively積極 impact碰撞 other people?
122
280000
2000
去正面的影響其他人
04:57
The things that kids孩子 will say
123
282000
2000
當你問孩子們問題然後花時間傾聽
04:59
when you ask them and take the time to listen
124
284000
3000
他們說出來的計畫
05:02
is extraordinary非凡.
125
287000
3000
是非常了不起的
05:05
Fast-forward快進 to Pennsylvania賓夕法尼亞, where I find myself today今天.
126
290000
3000
快轉到賓州,我現在住的地方
05:08
I teach at the Science科學 Leadership領導 Academy學院,
127
293000
2000
我在科學領導學院教書
05:10
which哪一個 is a partnership合夥 school學校 between之間 the Franklin富蘭克林 Institute研究所
128
295000
3000
是富蘭克林學院
05:13
and the school學校 district of Philadelphia費城.
129
298000
2000
和費城學區協同的合夥計畫
05:15
We are a nine through通過 12 public上市 school學校,
130
300000
3000
我們是一間公立高中
05:18
but we do school學校 quite相當 differently不同.
131
303000
3000
但我們的教學方式很不一樣
05:21
I moved移動 there primarily主要
132
306000
2000
我起初搬到那裡
05:23
to be part部分 of a learning學習 environment環境
133
308000
2000
是為了親身參與一個教學環境
05:25
that validated驗證 the way that I knew知道 that kids孩子 learned學到了,
134
310000
2000
一個可以證實我所理解孩子有效學習方式的環境
05:27
and that really wanted to investigate調查
135
312000
2000
一個願意探索
05:29
what was possible可能
136
314000
2000
所有可能性的教學環境
05:31
when you are willing願意 to let go
137
316000
2000
當你願意放棄
05:33
of some of the paradigms範式 of the past過去,
138
318000
2000
一些過去的標準模式
05:35
of information信息 scarcity缺乏 when my grandmother祖母 was in school學校
139
320000
3000
放棄資訊匱乏的念頭,如同我祖母的那個年代
05:38
and when my father父親 was in school學校 and even when I was in school學校,
140
323000
3000
還有我父親甚至是我自己念書的那些年代
05:41
and to a moment時刻 when we have information信息 surplus剩餘.
141
326000
2000
認知我們正處於資訊過剩的時代
05:43
So what do you do when the information信息 is all around you?
142
328000
3000
所以你該怎麼處理那些環繞四周的資訊?
05:46
Why do you have kids孩子 come to school學校
143
331000
2000
你為什麼要孩子們來學校?
05:48
if they no longer have to come there to get the information信息?
144
333000
3000
如果他們再也不需要特意到學校取得這些資訊?
05:51
In Philadelphia費城 we have a one-to-one一到一個 laptop筆記本電腦 program程序,
145

在賓州,我們有一個人人有筆電的計畫
05:54
so the kids孩子 are bringing使 in laptops筆記本電腦 with them everyday每天,
146
339000
3000
所以這些孩子每天帶著他們的筆記型電腦
05:57
taking服用 them home, getting得到 access訪問 to information信息.
147
342000
3000
帶著電腦回家,隨時取得資訊
06:00
And here's這裡的 the thing that you need to get comfortable自在 with
148
345000
3000
而有一件事,是你需要學著適應的
06:03
when you've given特定 the tool工具
149
348000
2000
當你給了學生工具
06:05
to acquire獲得 information信息 to students學生們,
150
350000
2000
讓他們可以自主取得資訊
06:07
is that you have to be comfortable自在 with this idea理念
151
352000
2000
你得適應一個想法
06:09
of allowing允許 kids孩子 to fail失敗
152
354000
2000
那就是允許孩子失敗
06:11
as part部分 of the learning學習 process處理.
153
356000
3000
把失敗視為學習的一部分
06:14
We deal合同 right now in the educational教育性 landscape景觀
154
359000
2000
我們現在面對教育大環境
06:16
with an infatuation癡情
155
361000
2000
帶著一種
06:18
with the culture文化 of one right answer回答
156
363000
2000
迷戀單一解答的文化
06:20
that can be properly正確 bubbled冒泡 on the average平均 multiple choice選擇 test測試,
157
365000
3000
一種用均化單選題得到解答的文化
06:23
and I am here to share分享 with you:
158
368000
2000
而我在這裡要和你們分享
06:25
it is not learning學習.
159
370000
2000
這不是學習
06:27
That is the absolute絕對 wrong錯誤 thing to ask,
160
372000
3000
這絕對是個錯誤
06:30
to tell kids孩子 to never be wrong錯誤.
161
375000
2000
要求孩子們永遠不可以犯錯
06:32
To ask them to always have the right answer回答
162
377000
3000
要求他們永遠都要有正確的解答
06:35
doesn't allow允許 them to learn學習.
163
380000
2000
不能令他們去學習
06:37
So we did this project項目,
164
382000
2000
所以我們發展了這個計畫
06:39
and this is one of the artifacts文物 of the project項目.
165
384000
2000
這是這個計畫的其中一項作品
06:41
I almost幾乎 never show顯示 them off
166
386000
2000
我幾乎從來沒有展示過這些
06:43
because of the issue問題 of the idea理念 of failure失敗.
167
388000
2000
因為我們對於錯誤與失敗的觀念
06:45
My students學生們 produced生成 these info-graphics信息圖形
168
390000
2000
我的學生們做了這些資訊畫報
06:47
as a result結果 of a unit單元 that we decided決定 to do at the end結束 of the year
169
392000
3000
當作我們某個單元的成果,我們決定在年底做這些畫報
06:50
responding響應 to the oil spill.
170
395000
2000
回應漏油事件
06:52
I asked them to take the examples例子 that we were seeing眼看
171
397000
3000
我要求他們拿
06:55
of the info-graphics信息圖形 that existed存在
172
400000
2000
他們看過的資訊圖表當做範例
06:57
in a lot of mass media媒體,
173
402000
2000
在大眾傳播媒體裡展示的那些
06:59
and take a look at what were the interesting有趣 components組件 of it,
174
404000
3000
仔細看看那些範例裡頭有趣的元素是什麼
07:02
and produce生產 one for themselves他們自己
175
407000
2000
然後自己設計一個
07:04
of a different不同 man-made人造 disaster災害 from American美國 history歷史.
176
409000
2000
以美國歷史中另一個人為災難為主題的畫報
07:06
And they had certain某些 criteria標準 to do it.
177
411000
2000
我為這項作業設了一些其他的條件
07:08
They were a little uncomfortable不舒服 with it,
178
413000
2000
他們對這個作業有些不自在
07:10
because we'd星期三 never doneDONE this before, and they didn't know exactly究竟 how to do it.
179
415000
2000
因為我們從來沒有作過這樣的作業,而他們不完全知道要怎麼進行
07:12
They can talk -- they're very smooth光滑,
180
417000
2000
他們可以談論這議題,相當流利
07:14
and they can write very, very well,
181
419000
2000
他們也能寫得非常非常好
07:16
but asking them to communicate通信 ideas思路 in a different不同 way
182
421000
3000
但當被要求要用一種另類的方式表達想法的時候
07:19
was a little uncomfortable不舒服 for them.
183
424000
3000
他們有點無所適從
07:22
But I gave them the room房間 to just do the thing.
184
427000
3000
但我給了他們空間去做這個作業
07:25
Go create創建. Go figure數字 it out.
185
430000
2000
去創造,去自己發現該怎麼做
07:27
Let's see what we can do.
186
432000
2000
讓我們拭目以待我們可以完成些什麼
07:29
And the student學生 that persistently一貫
187
434000
2000
最後那些總是
07:31
turns out the best最好 visual視覺 product產品 did not disappoint辜負.
188
436000
3000
呈現最佳視覺效果作品的學生,這次也沒有讓人失望
07:34
This was doneDONE in like two or three days.
189
439000
2000
這個作品大概花了兩三天的時間
07:36
And this is the work of the student學生 that consistently始終如一 did it.
190
441000
3000
而這是來自一個作業品質非常穩定的學生
07:39
And when I satSAT the students學生們 down, I said, "Who's誰是 got the best最好 one?"
191
444000
3000
然後當我要所有學生坐下來,我問他們"誰交出了最好的作品?"
07:42
And they immediately立即 went, "There it is."
192
447000
2000
他們立刻指著這個作品回答"這件"
07:44
Didn't read anything. "There it is."
193
449000
2000
他們並沒有細讀其中的內容,就回答了"這件"
07:46
And I said, "Well what makes品牌 it great?"
194
451000
2000
然後我說,"那麼,是什麼因素讓這個作品這麼好?"
07:48
And they're like, "Oh, the design's設計的 good, and he's using運用 good color顏色.
195
453000
2000
他們回答說,"喔,設計得很好,他用了很好的顏色組合,還有一些..."
07:50
And there's some ... " And they went through通過 all that we processed處理 out loud.
196
455000
3000
他們分別說了想法,我們一起討論了之後
07:53
And I said, "Go read it."
197
458000
2000
我說,"現在去讀讀內容"
07:55
And they're like, "Oh, that one wasn't so awesome真棒."
198
460000
3000
接著他們說"喔,現在看起來好像其實沒有那麼好"
07:58
And then we went to another另一個 one --
199
463000
2000
後來我們移到另外一個版子前面
08:00
it didn't have great visuals視覺效果, but it had great information信息 --
200
465000
2000
那個作品沒有很好的視覺設計,但是有非常好的資訊內容
08:02
and spent花費 an hour小時 talking about the learning學習 process處理,
201
467000
3000
我們接著花了大概一個小時討論這個學習過程
08:05
because it wasn't about whether是否 or not it was perfect完善,
202
470000
2000
因為那並不是關於哪個作品比較完美
08:07
or whether是否 or not it was what I could create創建.
203
472000
2000
或是我能或不能創造出這樣的東西
08:09
It asked them to create創建 for themselves他們自己,
204
474000
3000
這作業是要他們為自己創作
08:12
and it allowed允許 them to fail失敗,
205
477000
2000
這作業也讓他們有失敗的可能
08:14
process處理, learn學習 from.
206
479000
2000
消化思考之後,從失敗中學習
08:16
And when we do another另一個 round回合 of this in my class this year,
207
481000
2000
今年,若我們又再一次作類似的作業時
08:18
they will do better this time,
208
483000
2000
他們都將會比去年進步
08:20
because learning學習
209
485000
2000
因為學習
08:22
has to include包括 an amount of failure失敗,
210
487000
3000
必須包含一定程度的失敗
08:25
because failure失敗 is instructional教學
211
490000
2000
因為失敗具有教學意義
08:27
in the process處理.
212
492000
2000
在學習的過程中
08:29
There are a million百萬 pictures圖片
213
494000
3000
我有上百萬個照片
08:32
that I could click點擊 through通過 here,
214
497000
2000
可以展示
08:34
and had to choose選擇 carefully小心 -- this is one of my favorites最愛 --
215
499000
3000
可我得小心的選擇,好,這是我最喜歡的一張
08:37
of students學生們 learning學習,
216
502000
2000
學生正在學習的照片
08:39
of what learning學習 can look like
217
504000
2000
學習可以看起來是什麼樣子
08:41
in a landscape景觀 where we let go of the idea理念
218
506000
3000
在一個我們放棄傳統念頭的環境中
08:44
that kids孩子 have to come to school學校 to get the information信息,
219
509000
2000
放棄學生非得來學校以取得知識這樣的想法
08:46
but instead代替, ask them what they can do with it.
220
511000
2000
取而代之,問他們,他們可以利用這些資訊做些什麼?
08:48
Ask them really interesting有趣 questions問題.
221
513000
2000
問他們真正有趣的問題
08:50
They will not disappoint辜負.
222
515000
2000
他們不會讓人失望
08:52
Ask them to go to places地方,
223
517000
2000
要求他們去不同的地方
08:54
to see things for themselves他們自己,
224
519000
2000
去親眼見識不同的事情
08:56
to actually其實 experience經驗 the learning學習,
225
521000
2000
去真正的體驗學習
08:58
to play, to inquire查詢.
226
523000
3000
去玩,去查詢
09:01
This is one of my favorite喜愛 photos相片,
227
526000
2000
這是我最喜歡的照片之一
09:03
because this was taken採取 on Tuesday星期二,
228
528000
2000
因為這是一張星期二照的照片
09:05
when I asked the students學生們 to go to the polls民意調查.
229
530000
2000
當我要求學生們去投票
09:07
This is Robbie羅比, and this was his first day of voting表決,
230
532000
3000
這是Robbie,這是他第一次投票
09:10
and he wanted to share分享 that with everybody每個人 and do that.
231
535000
2000
而他想要和大家分享這個投票的經歷
09:12
But this is learning學習 too,
232
537000
2000
但這也是學習
09:14
because we asked them to go out into real真實 spaces空間.
233
539000
3000
因為我們要他們到外頭真實的世界去
09:20
The main主要 point
234
545000
2000
重點是
09:22
is that, if we continue繼續 to look at education教育
235
547000
3000
如果我們繼續把教育
09:25
as if it's about coming未來 to school學校
236
550000
3000
當作是要來學校
09:28
to get the information信息
237
553000
2000
取得資訊
09:30
and not about experiential體驗 learning學習,
238
555000
2000
而不是關於體驗試學習
09:32
empowering授權 student學生 voice語音 and embracing擁抱 failure失敗,
239
557000
3000
傾聽學生的聲音,擁抱錯誤和失敗
09:35
we're missing失踪 the mark標記.
240
560000
2000
我們將會錯過最重要的部分
09:37
And everything that everybody每個人 is talking about today今天
241
562000
2000
而今天每個人在談論的每件事情
09:39
isn't possible可能 if we keep having an educational教育性 system系統
242
564000
3000
都將不可能達成,如果我們繼續這樣的教育系統
09:42
that does not value these qualities氣質,
243
567000
3000
這樣不重視這些價值的教育系統
09:45
because we won't慣於 get there with a standardized標準化 test測試,
244
570000
2000
因為,我們將沒有辦法透過標準化的測驗達成目標
09:47
and we won't慣於 get there with a culture文化 of one right answer回答.
245
572000
2000
唯一標準解答的文化,也沒有辦法帶我們到那裡去
09:49
We know how to do this better,
246
574000
2000
我們知道怎麼樣可以做得更好
09:51
and it's time to do better.
247
576000
2000
而現在,是時候去做得更好了
09:53
(Applause掌聲)
