1
My name is Haiyan Jung.
2
I'm Innovation Director at Microsoft Research in Cambridge.
3
And I get my best ideas when I'm geeking out with some of the amazing people that I work with.
4
So we're in this beautiful lab in Cambridge and we have a number of different research areas, all the way from hardcore computer science,
5
programming languages, to looking at holograms new technologies,
6
reading up on what new developments are happening in the world, and how do we apply that into people's lives and make impact to really help people.
7
Digital is so important, it's all about driving everything towards the future of computing, whether that computing might be silicon chips or it might be biological in nature,
8
but it's all thinking about computations.
9
I started out studying
10
is think more broadly about how technology can really impact people's lives
11
and that's when I started on this journey to thinking about innovation.
12
My life and my job has taken me all over the world.
13
So I was born in China, my family moved to Australia where I studied computer science
14
and from there I became a software engineer in Toronto
15
and then I decided to go over to Italy to study design
16
which took me to San Francisco to be an innovation consultant and now I'm in Cambridge. in the UK.
17
I've always loved technology and computing ever since I was a little kid.
18
I'd sit at home and program on my old XT and I'd be writing little pieces of music on my
19
PC sound card.
20
So it's been a lot of fun and I've just kind of chased that that love and
21
I've got three of my favourite projects to show you.
22
So this is Project Torino, they're a set of physical blocks that teaches sight impaired kids how to code.
23
And this is Project Physio, where we've got a cystic fibrosis breathing device and a gadget that turns your breath into controllers for a video game.
24
And finally we have a prototype for the Emma watch, so this was developed for the Big Life Fix and it's a vibrating watch that helps Emma overcome her Parkinson's symptoms.
25
I think I love everything about playing with technology, all the way from just tinkering with it, putting, you know, soldering wires together,
26
writing code, to having someone try out a prototype for the first time and seeing that reaction.
27
If you want to get into my world, I've got three top tips for you.
28
play with technology So get into coding, tinkering with electronics, just start getting your hands dirty.
29
Find like -minded people
30
So find the people that you can talk with
31
that share your interests and maybe you can brainstorm together and create even bigger, better ideas.
32
Go tackle the big challenges.
33
So go find the big problems to solve in your community.
34
There are lots of them right now and in the future and try to make a difference.
35
I think it's every innovator's dream to have something
36
that they've dreamt up to be realised in the world
37
and have people using it if it's one person or ten people or a million people.
38
When I'm faced with a new challenge, this is how I go about tackling it.
39
Gain insight.
40
So really get into the heart of the problem, either through reading, papers, articles or talking to the real people who are facing this problem.
41
You might find that they're already using a workaround to solve for their challenges.
42
Create prototypes Start trying out your ideas on paper, with drawings or cardboard, or even with electronics.
43
But try out your ideas early with the people that the problem affects.
44
How can you best deploy your idea into the world and create the biggest impact in someone's life?
45
Given the resources that you have, how can you create the biggest bang for your buck?
46
I definitely found it challenging being one of a few women studying computer science.
47
But what I found that I needed to do was really over geek, so really get into technology, get passionate about it and start showing that passion to the people around me
48
so that they would come along with me on this journey.
49
You know, I think it's so important for women to speak up and voice their opinions in meetings, in group settings.
50
You know, I still find that challenging, but I think it's so important to say something than not say anything at all.
51
It's such an exciting time for young people to get into digital technology.

推薦影片
為什麼用這個影片練習口語?
這個影片是提升商務英語和科技英語表達的絕佳素材!演講者作為微軟研究院的創新總監,分享了職業經歷、科技專案和創新思維,內容涵蓋職場故事、技術術語和人生建議,適合練習正式場合口語與邏輯表達。通過模仿她的流暢敘述,你能學會如何清晰講述個人經歷、介紹專案亮點,還能積累“tinkering with electronics”(擺弄電子裝置)、“brainstorm together”(一起頭腦風暴)等實用短語,輕鬆應對工作中的交流場景。
語境中的語法與表達
影片中有不少值得學習的表達技巧:
- 過去分詞作狀語:“Born in China, my family moved to Australia...”(出生於中國,我的家人搬到了澳大利亞……),這種結構能簡潔連線背景資訊,讓口語更緊湊。
- “all the way from...to...”結構:“all the way from hardcore computer science to looking at holograms”(從硬核電腦科學到研究全息圖),用於描述範圍,使表達更有層次感。
- 建議類句型:“Go tackle the big challenges.”(去應對大挑戰),用動詞原形開頭的祈使句,語氣強烈且富有感染力,適合演講或激勵他人。
發音難點解析
練習時需注意以下發音陷阱:
- holograms:發音為/ˈhɒləɡræmz/,注意“o”的短音和“gram”的重音,避免讀成“həˈləʊɡræmz”。
- tinkering:/ˈtɪŋkərɪŋ/,“tink”部分要輕讀,“er”發短音,不要拖長。
- Parkinson's:/ˈpɑːkɪnsnz/,結尾的“s”發/z/音,而非/s/,需特別注意。
想要快速提高英語發音,不妨試試“shadow speak”(影子跟讀法):播放影片片段,暫停後立即模仿,注意語氣和節奏。堅持練習,你會發現自己的口語流暢度和發音準確性顯著提升!
練習建議
用這個影片練習時,可分三步進行:首先,逐句跟讀,關注連讀和語調;其次,提煉演講者的邏輯框架,用自己的話複述專案介紹和建議;最後,模仿她的自信語氣,錄製自己的版本並對比改進。記住,“find like-minded people”(找到志同道合的人)一起練習,進步會更快!
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | has taken · I've always loved · it's been |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | was born · was developed · be realised |
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
