My Idea：Exchange Correction Points for Streak Protection
I wrote an idea yesterday, but I'm not sure if it was well expressed. Could you guys help me check it?
Here it is:
I currently hold a 1,069-day streak on Duolingo, while my streak here is only at day one. Ironically, I actually spend more time on this platform than on Duolingo in the past three years, correcting and writing entries when I'm available.
The Idea
Since our presence here is built on mutual help, why not introduce a system where correcting others' entries earns points? These points could be exchanged for Streak Freezes or used to fix a broken streak.
Why This Matters
1. It Keeps Learners Motivated:
We all know how hard it is to maintain a daily habit. Life happens, and missing a day shouldn’t mean losing months of progress. If we could use the points we earned from helping others to protect our own learning streaks, it would add a layer of fairness and flexibility that helps keep users from giving up.
2. It Strengthens the Learning Ecosystem:
As a contributor to the Chinese community, I know the stress of returning from a holiday to many uncorrected entries. From the perspective of the interlocking system, the lack of available corrections in specific languages might slow down the learning process for everyone.
If correcting entries became a fun, gamified way to safeguard our own streaks, it would inspire more native speakers to help with corrections.
This creates a virtuous cycle: more corrections mean faster feedback for learners, and a more vibrant community for everyone.

いよいよロンドン市内見学 Explore London - Our Family Travelog #9
We had only four hours to explore London, and I left it up to my daughter to decide where we would go. We hadn’t had much time to research the city before our departure. We were simply passing through London on our way to Prague, but she was truly delighted to have the chance to see it.

The ability of constuct good habits
Lately I was thinking about the ability to construct good habits. I was wondering about how we supposed to do it because I have issue on It. So to search how to improve this difficulty I stared to research about neuroscience and habits. By living this, I toke the conclusion that little parts of our actions and thoughts are just essentials to make It. At the end we need to just fill parts of our lives little by little with responsability, consistency and just do what need to be done. Act It's the best way to win our old/bad habits.

Today
I gave my EAL teacher souvenirs of Finland and Egypt that I forgot to give her after I came back, in break time. It was seem she like the souvenirs ,so I was happy. I missed the reading test that I was supposed to do when I was on the trip. I think it was herder than listning test for me.
I got homework to write the rivew about my favorit book by Wednesday in EAL class.So, I was going to do that 45minutes ago, but my one of friends that have the same EAL class, shared the information that we will make waffle for Tuesday 's class that was decided when I was on the trip.
I asked her about how much ingredients I shoul dring . However, she responded that she is also not sure. And she mantioned that we shoud make some Japanese food instead even the teacher doesn't agree with that.（because we didn't send any emails about it. so, we don't know if teacher allow that .）So, I reacted and brought up some ideas and more. Finally, we are on board with I will send an email to the teacher about we considered
I realized that it takes about 35 minutes after it was done.
I felt bad about I took her time so long. I should've do my homework but I couldn't and I have a lot of things that I have to do, so I have to do the homework right now （it is 8 ：58 p.m.）.
The reason that I am writting dialy right now ,even not writing review is just to escape from reality.(・∀・)

El sistema que no rehabilita
A veces la gente comete errores graves. Incluso la persona menos violenta que siempre acata la ley podría cometer algo que la enviaría a prisión; y cuando esto ocurre uno se queda encerrado con criminales experimentados queines solo entienden la lengua de la dominación y el poder. Por un lado, es justo castigar dos personas que han cometido más o menos el mismo delito de manera similar: buenos antecedentes no deberían ser una excusa para una penalizacíon más leve. Pero por otro lado, los criminales poderosos por general buscan establecer el dominio sobre recién llegados, y esto crea una espiral descendente donde la gente que está en la cárcel por primera vez se absorbe la cultura criminal. Violencia en prisión o “rompe” a la gente vulnerable o la “endurece” - lo segundo pasó con el infame Clyde Barrow, por ejemplo, que inicialmente fue condenado por un robo de autos y luego se convertió en un criminal brutal. Su primero asesinato ocurrió en la cárcel después de ser violado por un otro prisionero.
Ademas, el sistema en sí no esta diseñada para rehabilitar a la gente. Muchos prisioneros tienen trastornos mentales, muchos nunca han recibido una educación decente, algunos sufren de adicción, etc. No me refiero a todos los países, pero el sistema local no aborda estas problemas. En realidad no intentamos ayudar a los delincuentes a convertirse en mejores personas, solo los escondemos del resto de la sociedad. Mientras sí es dificil trabajar con aquellos en las prisiónes, creo que la verdadera razón porque nuestro sistema falla es que es desactualizado y insuficientemente financiado.
Esto es algo de que he pensado recientemente.

Diferencias en el Doblaje
En el RE9 doblaje latinoamericano, ¡es como si voces de Zeno y Victor están invertidos! En Inglés Zeno tiene una voz más grave y más agresivo mientras Victor tiene una voz más suave. En el doblaje latino es contrario. Zeno consigue una voz más suave mientras Victor consigue una voz más grave. Creo que Zeno parece muy bien con una voz suave, pero la voz original encaja mejor con su personaje. Su voz de doblaje encaja un poco mejor cuando habla con Grace, porque con ella intenta ser un poco amable, pero no le gusta ni le importa así que la voz original, más áspera, encaja major. También, creo voz de Victor es mucho mejor en el original. La voz más suave y tranquila encaja mejor porque es bastante amable con los otros personajes, ni siquiera es uno villano. Es difícil de explicar.

Soviet Self-Study Book
A few days ago, I was studying again at a small library in my neighborhood. I like that there are barely any people there on weekdays, so you can calmly dive into learning without getting distracted. This time, I spent almost 4 hours there and checked off a lot of tasks from my to-do list. During the breaks, I was skimming through a self-study book for German learners I had found gathering dust on a remote bookshelf. This textbook really caught my attention, since it had been published in 1978 and therefore is oversaturated with communist propaganda. The book contains numerous texts praising ordinary East German residents for their hard and diligent work for the benefit of the state. In the future, I plan to explore this historical artifact further. The book also contains various exercises, but I'm most
interested in the texts.

Modern Theatre
A few (many, actually) years ago I heard an Indecent joke. Although I don’t know, may it be normal? You know all those things – curses and pious guys, hypocrites etc. I suppose it's a bit vulgar. So, a disclaimer – if it will offence you, you would not have to read following.
A theatre. People are taking seats. Noises are subsiding. Light is dimming. One more moment and it’s dark and silent. Audience is waiting. Then a person is going on the stage. The person is bearing a lighting candle and a chair. On the middle of the stage, the person puts the chair and the candle on the stage, sit down (on the chair) and starts to masturbate. After a while a noise comes from the audience. The person springs on their feet, the candle upsets and goes out, the chair clatters onto the floor. In the darkness on the stage a scared voice spreads, “WHO IS THERE?”

Mi idioma materna.
Me gusta mi idioma materna. Pero esta pregunta me hace detenerme y reflecionar.
¿Es algun que no me gusta sobre mi idioma materna?
No se me ocurre nada immediamente.
Hmmm... hay unas inconsistencias en Inglés que es muy molestas, como cuando riman "cough" y "huff", a pesar de la gran diferencia en la ortografía.

Перевод маленькой французской статьи на русский
В течение восьми лет, сто сорок три миллионов людей ходили на улице, чтобы поймать Чаризарда с Pokémon GO.
Недавно оказывалось, что они бесплатно работали.
Niantic только что признал, что камеры игроков сканировали парки, тротуары, площадей и магазины всего мира со всех точек зрения. Добыча - огромная база данных с тридцатью миллиардами настоящих изображений. На самом деле это не была игра. Это было строение самой большой базы набора данных для искусственного интеллекта в мире.
Сегодня Niantic пользуется вашими воскресными прогулками, чтобы продавать «системы визуальной навигации» (VPS, Visual Positioning System, то есть «Система Визуальной Локализации»)) без GPS компаниям, которые производят роботизированным разносчикам. Никакая фирма, даже не Google, не смогла бы собирать достаточно большой автопарк для этого.
Вы думали, что вы играли в компьютерную игру, но вы были добровольные подрядчики транснациональной компании робототехники.

Betreff: Interesse für B1 Kurs
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
mein Name ist....und ich wohne in Wien seit 4 Monaten, nachdem ich in England für 5 Jahre gewohnt hatte. Ich suche jetzt ein Job, und dafür brauche ich unbedingt der B1 Zertifikat. Online habe ich gelesen, dass Sie Deutschkurse am Abend anbieten, und ich wollte mich bei Ihnen wenden, um mehr Information darüber zu bekommen. Vor 3 Wochen habe ich mein A2 Prüfung bestehen und jetzt möchte ich die Sprach beherrschen, durch Ihrer gut bewertenden Kurse. In Anhang finden Sie meinen A2 Zertifikat, soll das wichtig für eine Anmeldung sein.
Können Sie mir vielleicht teilen, wann genau die Kurse anfangen würden? Online las ich, dass sie im mitten April stattfinden werden. Trotzdem habe ich die genauer Datum nicht gefunden. Am besten würde ich in einer Kurs am Ende April teilnehmen, wegen den Sommerferien, obwohl ich auch offen für einer später Termin bin. Auch bin ich interessiert um die Kosten des Kurses. Kann mann ein Studentrabbat bekommen? Gibt es vielleicht die Möglichkeit, ein Informationsblatt über die Kurse per E-Mail zu bekommen? Darüber würde ich mich sehr freuen.
Nachdem ich die Information bekommen habe, würde ich mich gern anmelden. Können Sie mich erklären, wie man sich beim Kurs anmelden soll? Kann das auch online erledigt worden, oder muss ich zu Ihnen kommen, um die Mündliche Prüfung zu machen?

The leftover tea
I like to have tea alone and in peace.
The question for today is what to do with the leftover tea?
Sometimes you drink tea for a while and there's a little left.
Well, one thing you can do is wash your face with tea.
Washing your face with tea has many benefits for your skin.
Every morning, I usually rinse my mouth with leftover tea.
That feels so good, and this is what you can do with your leftover tea.

Sikkim
Long ago, there was a shallow sea, now replaced by the world's largest mountains.
This shallow sea was the site of gigantic earthquakes, and about a million years ago these earthquakes began to form a vast mountain system that we now call the Himalayas.
According to geologists, a million years doesn't make a mountain old.
On the contrary, the Himalayas are so young that they have not stopped growing yet.
Melting snow from the top of the mountain cascades down the mountain, creating numerous waterfalls that form rivers and valleys.
These rivers and valleys belong to the kingdom of Sikkim.
The whole country measures only 70 miles from north to south and 40 miles from east to west.
Although Sikkim is limited in size, it makes up for it with magnificent Himalayan scenery.
It is a small Buddhist kingdom sandwiched between India and Nepal.
In 1975, Sikkim was annexed by India and became an Indian state.
