Task 2: Reflection from the video: The Oprah Winfrey show (farewell).

Q: The best scene (that you find interesting):
A: We think that, all of the scenes in the episode is the best especially the scene where a daughter consoled her mother. It shows that we are not alone. There is someone who cares for us, who even loves us more than we can ever imagine. 


Q: One quote that you like best:
A: "you are responsible for your life"
During the show, Oprah said these word (quote) again and again. And it makes us realise that, YES! We are responsible for our life. Not only for the money that we have or even the family that we love but it is all about our whole life. We have to be responsible for it. 


The other quote that we like best is "when you know better, you do better". We agree with the quote very much. As a teacher will be, there are lots of things that we have to learn in order to be a better person especially in order to be a better teacher one day. We believe that, if we have the skill and the knowledge, we will do better.
