Lecture! Lecture !

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to enjoy to a lecture after class; however, I feel tired , so I decide to go home. That's why I have to find an online lecture (Link here).
The lecture talks about the structure and function of body. The major point is arteries of nerve's system. The lecturer tell us a lot of vocabulary that is very important to study this faculty such as artery(vessel), carotid(hard to explain ), femur(bone leg), etc... Also the lecturer point out some strategies to study. In the main part, she tells a lot of terminologies of arteries and the function of them. In the final part, she says a little bit about the brain.
I think this lecture is very interesting because of the lecturer. She is very humoristic. She asks; for example, the students what the penis means , no one can answer then she told them: "It's a tail". The interaction between the teacher and student is quite good. Actually, I don't understand some parts that she talks about the nerves, it's too hard because many vocabularies I've never known. Her voice is very clear, so I think it's easy to listen.

Video lectures acn be very useful resources to practice with -- especially since, more and more, you may find English tests that use video segments as part of their listening sections. Also, you can look at them over and over, to check your comprehension, and we can all pass them around and check each others' notes . . . Hmm . . .

On our class blog page you can find links to TVO's best lecturer contest, which has academic lecture segments from professors who have been chosen as the best by their students. There is also a link to TED.com, which has video of lecturers of all kinds, not just professors, talking about technology and the future. These could also be passed around.

If you are interested, you can look through some of these as well. How can we all use these to help us improve our English?
