Our favorite youtube video
Stephen Curry is one of the best players in the history of the NBA and he was awarded as the mvp player of the season 2015-2016. He plays at the Golden State Warriors as a point guard. He has an excellent percentage on shooting from the three point line and he has excellent handles. Additionally he has broken many records like most points in a basketball quarter. Finally he is Del Curry's son, who was an NBA player too.

My favourite phrasal verbs with their meaning
Most of the teenagers hate learning phrasal verbs because they have different meaning with every preposition and they find it difficult. Sometimes, I belong to those youngers. However, I try to learn as more as I can because I know they are useful. Here are some of my favourite phrasal verbs with their meaning.
Back up= give support
Break out= start suddenly, escape
Brush up on= practice sth you already have knowledge of
Put off= postpone
Call for= demand
Come off= be removed for a colour
Do away with= get rid of
Snap up= to buy sth immediately
Cut off= interrupt
Figure out= understand, solve
Give in= surrender
Give away= give for free
Go through= live through difficult experiences
Keep up with= not fall behind
Iron out= fix problems
Let down= disappoint
Pass out= faint
Pass away= die
I hope you enjoy!

Hybrid thinking!!
http://www.ted.com/playlists/310/talks_on_artificial_intelligen
This is the second video I have ever seen on this site called ''TED''.In my opinion,the video I linked was an amazing video which can give you too many things to think.The man talking was explaining how our brain works and the evolution of our brains since the prehistoric times.In the end,he says something very exciting; he said that in about 10 or 20 years we will have nanobots in our brains so it will be much easier and much faster to think about something we want,for example we will be like Google,our brain will be able to find hundreds of results in only 3 seconds,can you imagine that?As he was closing,the scientist said that we will be thinking with 2 ways,the non-biological way which we will be thinking with the help of the nanobots and the biological way which we will be thinking with our brains,that is going to be very slow of course.I forgot to mention,the man also stated that if we put nanobots in our brains our forehead is going to be bigger and we will be able to expand our thinking without limits.

Advice from a firefighter
https://www.ted.com/talks/mark_bezos_a_life_lesson_from_a_volunteer_firefighter#t-212603
This video was about a firefighter and his first experience as a volunteer firefighter and his life lesson from it. In my opinion, the best part of this video was when the volunteer explained a life lesson he got. This is: Do what you want the time you think about it. In this way, he reminds us that we are people and we need help from others and the other way round. His final message, in my words was: Actions speak louder than words.
