Another Lesson for Life

Alba Vázquez, one of my students, wrote about this video in her English journal and I thought it would be nice to share this "lesson for life" with all of you. She sent me a ten minute video, which summarizes the main ideas from the talk you´ll find below. There are two reasons why I have decided to post the one-hour-long talk. On the one hand, we can learn so much from this man, professor Randy Pausch: we can learn, mainly, to live life to the full while looking at it from the "bright side of life". On the other hand, from the point of view of English: if you click on the title of the video, you will be directed to YouTube; there, below the video, next to the "like / dislike" boxes, you can find the Interactive transcript of the talk, which means  you can play the video and listen to the talk, while you read it. A great chance not to miss a word and, at the same time, to practise reading and listening.


Thank you very much, Alba!

    Hi Rosa !

    I really liked this video when I watched it. I think he's a strong man and we all must learn from him. My Swedish exchange student showed it to me one day and we almost cried at the end. It's a very moving and sad video.

  2. I am reading his book "La última lección" in spanish now. It has a similar content that the conference. This video with subtitles will be very useful because it speaks too fast for me. Thanks Rosa.
