Comment:
    This video is about grammar.The speaker taught us this grammar while he was in a fire escape.He told us the third conditional is use for a past situation that didn't happen.Then,he made  a sentence"if I had paid attention, I wouldn't have got lost .If I hadn't got lost, I wouldn't have found this number three."I think it is a common grammar that we can use in our daily lives.

The key to success

    The orator talks about her working experience related to her research. I think it's a great way to convince us that grit is an important element of success.
    I agree with what she said about grit is the key to success. Following is my reason, grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. If we don't have passion, we couldn't keep doing whatever I should do, and then, we won't succeed. However, if we don't persist and just do it for fun, it couldn't be certainly successful.Therefore, I think they're two of the most important factors to success.
