Podcast


Podcast(播客)是由「iPod」與「Broadcast」兩字組合而成,簡單來說,就是MP3播放器與廣播機能的結合。Podcast與傳統廣播不同的是,透過RSS(Really Simple Syndication,一種以XML為格式基礎的內容傳送系統)訂閱的功能,聽眾可直接、即時下載電台或網站上最新的MP3聲音檔案,用MP3播放器重複收聽。且不需要廣播公司的巨資設備,製作容易、成本低廉。另外一些廣播節目像是ICRT,中廣流行網,Hito radio等,北中南知名廣播電台,也都與蘋果電腦合作,相繼推出Podcast節目。這樣我們就能即時下載電台上最新的MP3聲音檔案,可以隨時且重複收聽。

原先Podcast被定位為音頻,很大程度上是因為iPod是一個音頻播放器,現在iPod也有視頻版了,所以視頻也已成為Podcast的一部分,音頻和視頻都可以稱為播客,都是一種表達自己的方式,或是聲音,或是視頻。

An experience about learnign English

When I was about eleven, I started to learn English until now. Before I entered the junior high school, my parents sent me to cram school to learn English. In the beginning, I was not interested in English because I didn't like to memorize the KK phonetic alphabet. When memorized the KK phonetic alphabet, it made me painful because I always couldn't memorize them well. When in class, the teacher always had a quiz about KK phonetic alphabet. She chose some KK phonetic alphabet and asked several students how to read. At that time, I was almost nervous to dead because I didn't want her to ask me. Every time she asked me, I always didn't know how to read it. It seems that the teacher noticed I was bad at KK phonetic alphabet, so she really liked to ask me.
Because of this terrible experience, I have no interested in English anymore. After I entered junior high school, I found I liked English more and more. And I also felt English was easy and I always got good grads at the English exam. At first, I didn't know what the factor changed my interest of learning English. But I think the reason is that the teacher in junior high school was not focus on KK phonetic alphabet, so I could find the joy when learning English. And that's the reason why I'm an English department student now. It just because I like English.
