Simple but Profound Difficulty in Languages
Simple but Profound Difficulty in Languages
One of the hardest parts of learning English is dealing with words that look similar. This difficulty stems from the fact that my native language, Japanese, rarely uses the alphabet. Simply put, I’m not used to recognizing words written in alphabetical characters.
My eyes aren’t yet trained to instantly distinguish one word from another. Even very simple words can appear confusing, and I often find myself pausing while reading aloud. For example: taking and talking, chef and chief, through and though, firm and film.
Sometimes I notice the mistake because the sentence stops making sense. Other times, I just keep reading without realizing anything was wrong.
Other pairs like storage and shortage, or problem and program, are also confusing. The list could go on forever.
Japanese presents a similar kind of problem, but in a different form.
I don’t think I’m the only one who has accidentally pressed the wrong elevator button — for example, pressing “close” when I meant to press “open,” almost shutting the door on someone trying to get in.
Even as an adult, I’ve repeatedly made writing mistakes with characters like 「体」 and 「休」, or 「軽」 and 「転」, ending up with things like 「自軽車」 or 「夏体み」 by mistake.
What’s fascinating is this:
In English, I tend to confuse similar words when reading.
In Japanese, however, the problem shows up when writing.
What these errors have in common, I suspect, is a kind of breakdown — a failure of coordination between what I see, what I know, and what I actually do.

Day 33: Goodbye Africa!
It's another world. I mean, it's so different. Maybe I could write something meaningful, but I'm too tired to do that. I got to know some great people here, and how they live. It's a different life that I can't understand totally in that much time I spent here. I don't pretend I understand it because it's very different than mine. Neither better, nor worse. I'm glad I came here to see this place. I faced the truth again that I have so much to get to know yet.

Acabo de ver un video filosófico sobre Descartes
En este escrito, voy a recapitular lo que apprendido sobre sus pensamiemtos (no leo sus libros, solamente miré la video del youtuber "Adictos de filosofía" Además su manero se pensar me sorprendido porque siempre dudar y cuestionar sus sentimientos.
Voy a pasar la parte sobre su método riguroso porque no me interesó mucho, pero sus reflexiones metafísicas me parecen más interesantes:
Hay seis reflexiones, no me recordá del título de todos los reflexiones por tanto voy solamente hablar de algunos,
Primer dice que como los seres humanos son seres finitos, la idea de un ser infinito (dios) no puede aparecer en nuestro coco, por tanto hay un dios. Que pensáis?
Lo Intento cuestionar chatgpt : si nadie lo dijo que han hecho inventado por un humano, nunca lo sabría.
Además hay el famoso "cogito, sum" pero voy a deja de escribir aquí.

سفارة
أحب السفارة. البلد الأخير الذيه زرت هو المغرب. لست عربية ولكنني أحب أن أسافر إلى البلدان حيث يتكلم الشعب بالعربية. لا أريد أن أقول (( بلدان عربية )) لأنني أعرف أن أناس البلدان الأفريقية يقولون إنهم ليسوا عربا. زرت الأردن والمصر قبل بداية دراستي لللغة العربية إذا لم أستتع تمرين الحديث مع الناس محلي وعندما زرت المغرب لم أستتع تمرين الحديث لأن الناس يتكلمون العربية آخرا والفرنسية والبربري. في المستقبل يجب علي أن أسكن في بلد عربي لمدة نصف سنة أو أطول لدراستي الجامعتي وأريد أن أفعل هذا في الأردن لأنني أريد تعلم لهجة الشام. أرغب في أن أستتيع إقامتي في سوريا أو فلسطين أيضأ ولكن من اليمكن أن هذه البلدان سليسا آمن.

Should education be free at all levels?
The topic we are discussing today is whether education should be free at all levels -elementary and middle school, college, university...
There are some pros and cons on both sodes: in the first place, if studying is a right, why do we have to pay? Not everyone can afford school supplies and can eventually drop education and consequently their dreams. Then, more people would have a better knowledge, since new generations are leaking of it.
However, the state needs money to create great study programs all over the country. Plus, in my country, you pay your son's university bill based on what you earn every year, or you can win tons of scholarships based on your grades.
These are very great method to balance free education and support to universities, to mantain a stable situation in programs.

Ma visite à New York
Il y a deux ans, je suis allée à New York. Il y a beaucoup de choses à voir et à faire là-bas. J’ai marché dans Central Park, traversé le pont de Brooklyn, et pris le ferry pour Staten Island pour apercevoir la Statue de la Liberté . J’ai visité le Mémorial du 11 septembre. Malheureusement, 2,971 personnes ont perdu leurs vies lors de l’attaque terroriste du September 11, 2001. Mon activité préféré était de voir les Rockettes au Radio City Music Hall. Le spectacle était spectaculaire. C’était ma deuxième visite à New York et j’espère que ne sera pas la dernière.

Do you like to shop online shopping or in person? Give reaso
Generally, I don't usually shop online and neither in person, because I don't have enough money to wast it buying clothes that I do not need. However, if I had to choose, I'd say shopping in person. The best thing of this option is that you can try every size of the clothes in the shop.
If you shop online and you choose accidentally a wrong size, you have to do a boring proccess for the return and wait a long time for the refund.

what is my favorite animal, and why?
Since I was a kid, I've always wanted to have a dog, because I had a nintendo game that was based on taking care of a golden retriever. He was so loyal and loving. Moreover, I know lot of people who have dogs and they are really happy with them.
However, I began to love cats 4 years ago, because my girlfriend has to of them and they are adorable. I feel like their cats are mine too, and their independence make easier to take care of them, so I don't know what I will do in the future.

Story of Ratnag part-9
After killing King Akram, Layla also killed all the family members of Akram and started his ritual on their dead bodies, with the help of his mother Kamli, who was a very powerful witch.
During the ritual, Kamli started to feel that something was going wrong, so she stopped the ritual and said to Layla, “I think something is wrong. The ritual process is having some issues.”
Layla said, “What are you saying, mother? I have done everything the right way!”
Kamli replied, “How can you be sure that there's no issue in the ritual? Look at our goddess statue her eyes are becoming red. I think our goddess is not happy.”
Then, the goddess appeared in front of Layla and Kamli. The goddess said, “Are you both fools?”
Layla asked, “What happened? Did we do something wrong in the ritual?!”
The goddess replied, “No. You did the ritual very perfectly. But Akram and his brothers whose blood you served me are not royal blood!”
Kamli said, “What? How is it possible?”
The goddess said, “King Akram and his brothers do not belong to this royal family. He is the son of a minister. The previous king of Ratnag, Abhay, has only one daughter. She is the only royal blood. You must serve her blood to me so that the ritual can be completed.”
Layla asked, “But goddess, where is King Abhay’s daughter now? What is her name?”
The goddess replied, “Her name is Annu, and she lives in the East Gurukul.”

My Favorite Food
My favorite food is definitely pasta. I love pasta very much. I can cook many different types of pasta eat. There are many ways to cook pasta: by boiling it on the stove, simmering it, or baking it in the oven. All kinds of pasta are delicious: with tomato sauce, with minced meat, with vegetables...
