Alle mijn kleren behalve pyjama's zijn zwart. Ik draag wel wit of blauw in het werk (typisch bedrijfskleding van een arts..). Ik vind de zwart het elegantst en het sierlijkst van alle kleren. Alle kleren zijn daan ook op elkaar onmiddelbaar ingespeeld. Je kan wel op de sonnige dagen verschiellende tinten onderscheiden. De kleur zwart is de weelde zonder uitspatting.

A or B
Japan has been begun the rainy season.
I like the rain-sounds whose sounds make me relax.
By the way I don’t like its substance.
I don't like it because it's damp and humid.
Japanese people often ask which person are you?, a science person or a write person ？
I didn't graduate from university, but I can say both are important.
Many people like that type of question.
For example, are you a coffee person? or not.
I try to answer some of them.
Shall we get started now.
01.Mac or Windows?
100%, I can say Mac person.
I like apples as food and as a computer.
I used windows when I was a child. I don't use them now.
02.Cat or Dog?
The reason is crealy and simple: I have a cat allergy.
I like watching cat videos, but unfortunately if I'm in direct contact with them, I might die.
My allergy comes from animals with thin hair.
Now I'm an adult, even better than I was. However, I had breathing difficulty when I first met the cat.This is called cat crisis…
I had had a dog before. He had short hair and didn’t make me sick which seems like an asthma attack.
He was a type of dachshund classified as a miniature dog.
He was naughty and shy, I really liked him.He was a good dog. That is why I am a dog person.
03.Doctor Who or the Walking Dead?
I like science fiction, both are ok. I’m not completely watching them.
Both series are so long running that I can’t watch all of them.
Norman is one of my favorite actors. Blade2 and The Boondock Saints are also my favorite movies.
I have known him before he became famous.
Doctor Who isn’t common in Japan. I like eleventh. He is the youngest of them.
and so, I can say I'm a Walking Dead person because Doctor Who is a little bit boring for me. I love thrilling one.
What person are you? What are things into?

Как и почему учусь венгерский язык! Часть 2.
[Этот текст - перевод этого видео: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX_egzo3FkU]
Сначала, я хочу рассказать почему изучаю венгерский. Это трудно отвечать, потому что, я правда не знаю почему. Когда я услышала венгерский в первый раз, я подумала: "Венгерский так красивый, может быть самый красивый язык в мире."
Я очень люблю венгерскую музыку. Моя любимая группа - Bagossy Brothers Company. По-моему, их тексты действительные красивые. Действительные хорошие. Я очень хочу понимать тексты музык.
Один день, хочу поехать в Венгрию. Я бы хотела идти на Bagossy Brothers Company концерт. Ах, это бы было хорошо. Но, сейчас нельзя пойти из-за коронавируса. С надеждой, вскоре после всего этого.

Wrong-Way Driving
In Japan, decreasing birth rate and an aging population are big problems. Related to it, there are many accidents caused by a car with old people. The driving ability weakens as people get older. They tend to mistake accel as brake or overlook traffic signs.
Driving in the wrong direction on highway is not rare. I heard a story that I thought it's a joke at first. An old man was driving on highway, and the news said there was a vehicle driving the wrong way, so you should drive carefully. His family worried about him and phoned him. He said "It's alright, but all cars are going the wrong way! " In fact, the dangerous car was his one. He believed he never made a mistake.

Daily Dairy 1 (2021-5-18)
Hi everyone!
Today, I have made a major decision that I firmly determined to write a daily diary frequently to practice my writing skills in English. I would also like to utilize this diary to keep my memory and unique feelings of every day. I have decided to write my diary here because I believe that this exchange learning platform can help me to become a better English writer and I would like to communicate with those people on this platform.
I am a student and I am on summer break now. In order to make my holiday more meaningful and memorable, I have participated in a four-week English and culture program organized by a Canadian university. I have joined this program via zoom on account of the virus outbreak. I have expected that I will improve my English and meet folks from different backgrounds.
To be honest, I was quite nervous since rarely I do speak English in daily life and then I was worried that I could not handle this course very well. However, today is the first day I meet my teacher and classmates. All of them are very nice. Most of the students in my class are from Janese and the rest students are from Hong Kong just like me. When the teacher asked questions in Zoom, none of us answered her because we were a little shy and did not immerse in the new environment. I hope I will be braver and more proactive in the next few days and do more cultural exchanges with my classmates.
That is all.

The movie, Back To The Future
Recently, I am reading a book about making stoires of "Back to the future".
I really like the movie, so I have watched more than ten times.
The book is about how to create the idea of the movie and which behind the stories are.
For example, the main actor is changed during making half of the movie.
The time machine was powered by nuclear instead of lighting on the first draft.
I didn't know that there was no plan about the sequels.
I am very happy not only to read interesting stories, but also to see pictures of making the movie.
I will watch the animation of Back to the future as well.

Summer is comming
In Japan, hot weather continues. The temperature is around 25 degrees. It is so hot compared with last year. I can't stand the weather, so I wore a tank top. But my mother persuaded me not to wear it because people haven't worn a tank top. I cannot wait for the coming summer. I love the season. For the season, I tan my skin and do weight training. Last Sunday, I went to a tanning salon. After I went there, I always feel better. But the salon is very expensive. It takes 25$ per once, and I have to continue to go there, so my money will be gone. If I skipped going there, my skin couldn't keep the brown color. I have to make money for keeping brown skin.

The tourist area of Mammoth is located in the Zhalainuoer District, Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia. It covers an area of 1 square kilometers and gained the honor of the biggest statue group of mammoth in the world from Shanghai Guinness head office in 2013. The tourist area has 93 paleontological sculptures in total. Among them, there are 87 mammoth sculptures. I remember I sent you some pictures taken there. The blue skies are like washed and the white clouds are very low. It looks really amazing. Besides it is very near to Manzhouli port, you can see a great national gate bordering Russia. So if you have time, welcome to China, which is a beautiful country worth visiting.

You are right, Manzhouli is located in the Hulunbeier prairie, with vast land and sparsely populated areas. I noticed that when you read the words "满洲里", it sounded perfect, as if you were speaking in your mother tongue.
The primary industry of Manzhouli is animal husbandry, because it is in the grassland.
Yes, each lightning is unique and, like each of us, can't be copied.
Through your description, I can imagine the color and the appearance of the Northern Lights. When you talked about the beliefs of the locals about the Northern Lights, I suddenly felt it was mysterious and sacred, and I felt awe.
I know the Dead Sea, because of its high salt content, people won't sink in it, but I never knew that there was a mineral pool similar to the Dead Sea in Canada. If I were there, I think I would definitely try it out because it would be very interesting.
I checked some information and found that there were three "dead seas" in China. One is the salt lake in Yunchen, Shanxi, and it is formed naturally. The other two are semi-artificial, that is, excavating the underground salt water hot spring to form the effect of the Dead Sea. One is in Suining, Sichuan, and the other is in Sanshui, Foshan, Guangdong.
Yes, you sent a picture of this place last winter and it looked icy and snowy, very depressed. Now it looks much better: the ice has melted, the water flows and you can smell the breath of spring.
Spring is always beautiful. It means warmth, hope and life. Let's embrace the spring tightly.

How Reading In English Became One Of My Favorite Hobbies
I didn't use to read in my native language. I wasn't into reading. I hated books too much! A few years ago when I had started learning English, I tried very hard to find ways to learn it on my own. I had been watching a lot of movies to improve my English, and sometimes I took some words out of those movies to memorize them. But I didn't notice any progress in my level. Later on, I heard that the best way to learn languages is to read so many fiction books. Fiction books come with a lot of vocabulary and that was what I wanted to learn English. Then, I started to force myself to read in English (I didn't do it in my native language). Honestly, I started reading some advanced books that made me got bored sometimes, and I changed my method of reading into reading something simpler. I read kids' stories, easy novels, and articles. Then reading became my hobby, and one of my habits that I do every day. Now I enjoy reading so much. I spend all my time reading in my second language, and I decided to become a writer. I read all my time to improve my English and have fun. Nowadays, I am trying to make writing one of my hobbies. I write in English about anything to practice every day hoping I become a successful writer in English someday. Finally, we have to love reading because it is so important to get knowledge and to improve ourselves. It's so easy to make reading a habit as I did, and I am certain I will make writing one of my favorite hobbies.

to avoid ''Avoidance''
Using only familiar expressions is easier even if it looks perfect by others.
Immediate interaction with using them might be enough to facilitate talking.
But for the next trajectory to go ahead, sometimes it is not attitude to be preferred.
Using new expressions, experimental or adventurous ones are more thrilling and beneficial.
Being fluent and automation of wording are often viewed as ideals for language learners.
But I have a different view on it. Without awareness and contemplation before uttering and with prioritizing fluency or perfectness , one tends to go into circle of repetition with less progress and risk.
It is beautiful on the surface, and one might be praised by others because of the perfectness and fluency.
But that is a fragile house of cards. To say nothing of tornado, a momentary gust or even exhalation of someone is much enough to dabacle.
Thus sometimes one has to break one's internal limitation apart and accept shame stemmed from making faults or immature misunderstanding.
Meanwhile, I arrived here today where people can correct each other without excessive hesitation as far as abiding by the minimum rule.
This will enable us to avoid Avoidance which is often used among us whether conscious or not to avoid being uncomfortable because of out of routine.
That is why there seems to be no room of doubt that this website is a must or an enabler for most of sincere learners of language that they seek to obtain.
Thank you for reading. Enough for today.

The Royal Tenenbaums
Esta noche estamos viendo “The Royal Tenenbaums” porque queríamos ver una de sus películas más bien reseñadas antes de que mi hermana vuelve a su universidad. La trama es un poco serio porque se trata de los problemas de una familia. Creo que prefiero sus películas para niños, como “Fantastic Mr. Fox.”

Neue Arbeit
Heute habe ich einen Job als Strategie- und Kommunikationsspezialistin angefangen. Gestern Abend war ich so gestresst, dass ich von meinem Meeting mit meinem Chef geträumt habe. Als ich aufgewacht war, hatte ich schon eine E-Mail von einer Arbeitskollegin bekommen. Sie wollte mich kennenlernen, deswegen hat sie mir ein Meeting-Termin geschickt für 14 Uhr. Sie hat auch ein englisches Dokument geschickt und wollte, dass ich es auf Türkisch übersetze. Dieses Dokument hatte 30 Seiten. Ein guter Anfang für einen Tag...
Um 11 Uhr hatte ich ein Meeting mit dem Geschäftsmanager per Google-Meet. Er hat mir auch eine Aufgabe gegeben. Ich sollte ein Strategieplan für eine Firma machen aber es ist schwerer und zeitaufwendiger als man denkt. Diese Firma hat so viele Dienstleistungen und Produkte, und ich muss für jeder von den eine Erklärung schreiben und eine Analyse machen. Z.b. SWOT Analyse für jedes Produkt. Ich muss den Strategieplan bis Freitag vorbereiten.
Es ist jetzt 4 Uhr morgens und ich habe den ersten Teil der Übersetzung an meiner Arbeitskollegin geschickt und 10 Seiten für den Strategieplan geschrieben. Um 9 Uhr muss ich zum Arzt, und um 11 Uhr muss ich zum Zahnarzt gehen. Es sieht so aus, als würde ich heute nicht viel schlafen...

Writing: Major in Humanities
In China, once the college entrance exam is completed, students have to fill in the college and major based on their score. It is not easy to change majors after entering university. In high school, we would divide the subjects for the college entrance exam into humanities (politics, history, geography) and science (physics, chemistry, biology); we follow this division in college. Although with the integration of subjects, this division is very uncritical.
1. Society needs human resources in humanities. Rapidly developing society with industrial technology is necessary; however, it is now an information-driven society and the service industry has emerged, and the study of humanities needs more talents in order to provide better services.
2. The humanities are important for the study of human relations. The emphasis on theory in the study of science majors on campus is detached from industry, and it is most people who cannot get good jobs. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, more and more technology can be done by machines, but the emotional connection between humans can not be replaced by machinery.

¿Cuánto tiempo atrás puedes leer?
No estoy seguro si el título sea confuso, así que voy a explicarlo. Hace unas pocas horas, leí un post en Reddit que preguntaba cuál era el libro más antiguo del idioma que estudiaban que podían leer. ¡Las repuestas eran súper interesantes! Lo que encontraba lo más fascinante era que el número de años atrás que uno podía leer no solamente dependía de su idioma nativo sino también el nivel de educación que tenía. Por ejemplo, un hablante de chino mandarín que se graduó del bachillerato puede leer sin gran dificultad un texto corto de 200 A.C. ¿Cómo es posible? O sea... el idioma chino se ha cambiado muchísimo desde los tiempos de antigüedad. La respuesta es la educación, específicamente la educación en los símbolos y estructuras gramaticales de chino clásico.
Por el otro lado, quizá esto es un poco forzado. Se puede discutir que están aprendiendo otro idioma que es semejante pero no lo mismo de lo que ya hablan. Pues entonces hay dos otros candidatos: el tamil e el islandés. Sin embargo, lo del tamil sufre lo mismo problema que lo del chino mandarín: nuevas estructuras y formas gramaticales se tienen que aprender. Así que, a mí el islandés me parece ser el primer candidato. En los secundarios islándicos, se require la lectura de antiguos cuentos nórdicos, algunos de lo cuales se escribieron hace más de novecientos años. A diferencia de los del chino mandarín o del tamil, sin embargo, los hablantes de islandés no tienen que aprender nuevas estructuras gramaticales.
Una oración desafiante/retadora:
1. Les temo a los griegos incluso si se llevan regalos.
