今天我出门了！
哎哟，我花了很长时间呆了在家里，除了去附近的饭馆我没出去，但是今天不一样。最近由于一些小事，我缺乏动力出去。比如昨天晚上我本来打算去东直门看电影，可是我一出门就发现北京的温度那么低：大约-9摄氏度。我走路时，寒风吹到我的脸上，就像自己的鼻子快要冻掉了。我出生在澳大利亚，而澳大利亚气候的最低气温一般来说高于0度。然而，人们那里需要忍受断断续续地下着雨、不断改变的天气状况。我澳大利亚人的血受不了北京冬天的气温。幸运的是，今天比昨天很暖和，因此我去了学校学习。
起床以后，我被Reddit的一个帖子分散注意力。某个人想知道怎么用“了”这个助词。学英语的中国人一般觉得用不用冠词（“a”、“the”等）难以选择，可是每个英语为母语的人像魔法似的毫不费力地使用它们。无论花了多少时间学习如何使用这些冠词，无论英语为母语的人解释了多少遍，中国人无法避免犯了错误。从这个角度来看，英语的冠词相当于中文的“了”。中国人都有我无法理解的魔法，顺利地使用“了”。也许这样的语法细节都是大部分不能从理论学会的，而是从亲身经历中得知的。如果我向中国普通人说“了”这个助词是很难理解的，他们经常没意识到有什么难点。
我们的中文语法书比如说：在结束的动词之后，该加个“了”。然后，跟随书里的说明，我也许写下来病句，比如：“昨天是了星期二”。在我脑子里，我按照书里的逻辑，想着：“是”是个动词，而且昨天就是结束了。我的逻辑有什么问题呢？
中午，我终于克服了Reddit的诱惑，到了学校去。现在，我已经学了5个多小时的中文。在回家的路上，我可以顺便地吃晚饭、看我周末想看的那部电影。那我今天该吃什么晚饭？

今年和來年
明天是這一年的最後的一天。所以今天我想一想我今年做的事和沒做的事。而且我開始想我來年要做什麼。
今年一月六日我結婚了。我和我老公沒開什麼婚禮。一月六日是個平日，所以我們下班以後去區政廳做結婚登記。然後我們回家吃炸雞和冰淇淋。其實我們打算七月開婚禮，可是因為新型冠狀病毒，我家人不可以來韓國。我和老公決定來年開婚禮。
我和老公兩個人今年都開始新的工作。我一直在跟去年一樣的學校工作，但是我從九月起當學校圖書館員。老公換兩次工作，但他終於開始工作在一個半導體公司。
來年我想繼續學習外語。我特別想提高我的中文水平和我的日語水平。而且我想開始學阿拉伯語!我也想到哪裡去旅行。今年我哪裡都不可以去。我想跟我老公和些好朋友出去玩!
你呢?來年想做什麼?

Translation practice.
If there are kids in a family, they must decorate festive fir trees together and then go out playing: kids go downhill with children’s sled and build snowmen, throw snowballs. In the night, they play games, sing, dance, and also dance our traditional circle dance music.
Children also like “ice and snow old man” and “snow girl". They are two roles in Russian folklore, and now, they are the symbol of the new year. Every year, the artists dressed as the two roles play with kids, sing, and then give small gifts (dessert or toys). They are all very happy.
When night arrives, everyone starts to set off fireworks. It is really beautiful and it is the new year’s activity I like the most. No matter if restaurants, clubs, or other interesting places are all closed, I don’t know if this new year can be celebrated as exciting as former years.

The new year is coming and everybody is preparing to party. But we don’t have any special plans because all the interesting places are closed because of COVID, so we will celebrate the new year at home. We plan to cook a lot of delicious food, like salad, roast turkey and dessert. We will invite our best friends to celebrate the new year together.
We usually eat Russian salad during the new year (cooked potatoes, canned green beans, stewed meat or sausage, boiled eggs, carrots, pickled cucumber and a little bit mayonnaise) bread with red fish seeds and tangerine, drinking champagne (women drink champagne, men drink white spirits) after dinner, we turn on TV, after the new year's bell rings, the president congratulates the whole nation on the New Year, and then we watch new year's concert.

Bonjour de la quarantaine Jour 4
Aujourd'hui j'ai décidé de compter mes bénédictions.
(Est-ce qu'il y a un meilleure façon de dire ça en française?)
Je ne devrais pas me plaindre. Je suis très confortable. Je peux sortir pendant quarante minutes tous les jours á la dixième étage dans la soleil. Je dois porter un masque partout. C’est un petit prix pour me sentir le soleil sur mon peau.
J’ai une fenêtre, que je peux ouvrir. C’est formidable.
Il y a 5 mois, j’étais en quarantaine en Australie. La chambre dans l’hotel á Surfers Paradise étais plus petite que le chambre ici, peut-être la moitié de la taille. Cette chambre n’étais pas une fenêtre qu’on peut ouvrir. On ne peut pas sortir. Jamais. Je resterais dans cette petite chambre pendant 14 jours. Il n y a pas de cuisinette la bas, et le nourriture n’étais pas bon.
Je suis très heureuse de reste ici. J’ai le temp pour pratiquer la langue française. Si on a la musique aussi, on ne peut pas être solitaire. Je viens d’écouter “ The Last Goodbye” Billy Boyd. C’est une chanson qui vient du film “ Lord of the Rings” qui est fait en Nouvelle Zealand. Quelle chance.
Maintenant, il reste 10 jours avant que je puisse rentrer. J'attend encore le résultat de test COVID. Peut être je l’aurai demain. Dans certaines autre pays, on peut avoir le résultat après 15 minutes.
Merci

Escribe un pequeño texto sobre una visita a un hotel.
Viajé a Rome, Italia el año pasado con mi mejor amiga. Nos alojamos en un hotel de cuatro estrellas. Estaba al lado del Colosseum. Elegimos este hotel a causa de su sitio ideal. Cuando llegamos al hotel, la recepcionista fue muy amable. Creo que es porque mi amiga habla un poco de italiano.
Fuimos al hotel después de un largo vuelo, así que me duché en cuanto llegamos a la habitación. Pero cuando me duché en el baño de la habitación, ¡había una fuga de agua en la habitación! La alfombra estaba mojada. Fuimos a la recepción inmediatamente y le contamos lo que pasó. Cambiamos la habitación y movimos todos los equipajes. Luego, mi amigo se duchó y el agua goteó de nuevo! Hablamos con la recepcionista y lamentó mucho. Tuvimos que cambiar la habitación de nuevo. La tercera habitación estaba bien finalmente.
Ademas, habia una piscina en la azotea del hotel y pudimos ver el Colosseum de la piscina. Disfrutamos la piscina a causa del buen tiempo. El desayuno incluido está rico también.

I plan on importing the text below into my Anki deck.
I want to make sure that these sentences are correct because they will show up frequently during my Anki reviews. Anki is an electronic flashcard app that helps with memorization.
Please correct all of the following sentences.
***
What is the meaning of the phrase within the parentheses?
Sorry, I can't (come out) tonight, I've got homework out the ass.
The meaning of the phrase seems to be adopted from the following definition of a dictionary.
(of the sun, moon, or stars) appear in the sky: the rain suddenly stopped and the sun came out.

Los padres de mi novio
¡Hoy conocé a los padres de mi novio! No había esperado eso para nada cuando me levanté esta mañana.
Están haciendo un viaje de coche y por casualidad su ruta va por mi ciudad. Mi novio me mandó un mensaje de text media hora antes de salía del trabajo preguntándome si me podía visitar en la oficina. Charlamos un poco y le pregunté dónde estaban quedándose. ¡El hotel estaba a apenas de diez minutos de la oficina!
Estaba muy nerviosa porque son de España y desde que nos empezamos a salir he querido presentarme en español como demostrar respeto. Mi novio me dijo que todo salió bien y que les he caído bien.

Comment communiquez-vous davantage: courriels ou lettres
Comment communiquez-vous davantage: par courriels ou par lettres? Choisissez-vous indifféremment l’un ou l’autre moyen pour écrire à vos amis? Quelle(s) différence(s) faites-vous entre ces deux supports? Pensez-vous que les courriels supplanteront rapidement les lettres ou bien, en fonction des destinataires et des circonstances choisira-t-on l’un ou l’autre des ces moyens?
Grâce aux évolutions technologiques actuelles, la mode de communication par courriels est de plus en plus répandue dans le monde, mis à part celle par lettres. Certains trouvent que la communication par lettres a risque d’être remplacée, voire d’être en déclin par celle par courriels du fait de ses commodités. Toutefois, il me semble que chaque moyen dispose des avantages que l’autre ne peut parfois pas.
Tout d’abord, on ne peut pas nier que l’échange de courriel offre aux usagers de nombreux avantages, parmi lesquels la rapidité est tellement appréciée. Autrement dit, on peut envoyer facilement et rapidement les messages aux membres de famille, aux amis par Internet tandis qu’il faut perdre un peu de temps si on choisit envoyer par la poste. De plus, le coût de mode de communication par courriels est moins cher que celui de mode par lettres. En effet, on se rend compte que le besoin d’échange d’informations entre les gens est de plus en plus augmenté, le coût de mode de communication par lettres devient un grand obstacle pour eux. C’est pourquoi communiquer par e-mails permet de le réduire considérablement.
Pourtant, cette mode est uniquement disponible si on a Internet. C’est à dire, sans Internet et sans des technologies telles que des tablettes, des ordinateurs, etc, il est impossible de communiquer avec les autres. De plus, le choix entre ces deux moyens en fonction des destinataires. Pour les personnes qui ne savent pas utiliser des technologies telles que des personnes âgées, il est nécessaire de privilégier la communication par lettres tandis que pour les amis, ou les personnes à l’étranger, celle par courriels est un choix idéal.

Eine Kurzmeldungen von mir geschrieben
Ein 30-jähriger Koreaner überraschte am vergangenen Wochenende seinen Deutschlehrer. Juwon, gebürtig aus Seoul, lernte intensive seit 6 Monaten Deutsch und war sehr frustriert, weil er nicht die Sprache verstehen konnte. Eine Nacht hatte er beim Anschauen eines deutschen Films eingeschlafen und der Tag danach sprach er auf einmal perfektes Deutsch: "Ich weiß noch nicht, wie ich das machte. Gestern war Deutsch für mich noch sehr schwierig!". Wissenschaftler wollen medizinische Untersuchungen zu Juwon machen, um herauszufinden, was passierte.

Fashion
I am going to talk about my favourite clothes. Actually, it is an elegant ginger dress I got from my mother. I am so into it because it can perfectly match all of my shoes and its colour goes well with my accessories. On top of that, it is the first present my mother gave me, so it is meaningful. Every time I need to go to formal occasions, I will wear this dress. For me, clothes are just cloth that can keep me warm. Of course, I need practical clothes. For example, if I am going out walking and it is raining, I need to wear the appropriate kind of clothes. Maybe a rain coat, taking an umbrella, something that will protect me from the rain. So, from a practical point of view, I think clothes are really important. However, people have very different views about grab. Some people are crazy about designer clothes from upmarket shops in which clothes are rather pricey, whereas others go for rock-bottom prices. What’s more, people have different tastes in texture. Some people prefer cotton, while others tend to choose synthetic fibers. It strikes me that fashion goes around its cycles and it is not long before it comes back into fashion. For example, flared jeans, bell-bottom jeans, and ripped jeans raged in 80s or 90s, and shits with really long collars, these huge, flying collars, they were fashionable in the past. But I think flared jeans and ripped jeans are much more fashionable now than they were in the past, they went out of fashion, and then again came back in fashion. So, fashion has changed, but I’d say not in a linear way, but in a circular way, if I can say that.

Fitting in at work
Starting a new work is usually considered to be as important as starting a new life in a new city. It is so since they are intimate related, mainly because a change of work imply a move from one place to another. So much so, that people tend to become their work in their home. Thereby, their workplace transforms in a main place where ones is constanly making contact with others.
Fitting in at work usually is a process that takes some months, if it not years, to become reality. However, we should not feel discouraged since we will feel more comfortable during the months go by.
Adittionally, there are some people who are keen on to help the newers, haging out with them, or just talking during the breaks. Thus, this kind of people will be helpful during this "bitter time" - usually is more like a "normal" time, but people are prone to overgrowth some things.
In conclusion, fitting in at work it doesn´t prone to be a tough experience. On the contrary, we should expect to be introduced in a new place of work which is bound to be cooperative and, if we are lucky, well-paid. But keep in mind that there are always exceptions to the rule!

言語の勉強
最近、僕は韓国語を勉強始まった。それはちょっと間違うかもね。まず、韓国語は僕の4つ言語だけど、他の言語はまだ上手じゃない。母国語は英語だ。両親は中国人だから、成長時たくさん中国語を聞いた。子供の時、中国語のクラスを4年間取ったけど、実はあまり習わなかった。だから、高校生の時中国語を勉強続きたいだった。もう7年間ごろ勉強した。今、僕の中国語はいいだと思っているけど、まだ全部ペラペラじゃない。そして、僕は日本語を3年間ごろ勉強した。大学一年生から勉強してきた。僕の大学の日本語クラスはちょっと遅く習う感じがあるん。だから、今まだ上手じゃないだと思っている。他の言語が上手になる前に、新しい言語を勉強始まるのがダメだろう。始まったばかりけど、もう難しいだよ。発音はマジで難しい。頑張ってみて見よう。

Journal 30/12/20
Yesterday evening, I was in an English voice chatting room to practice my listening. A person named Harry was also there. He was very annoying . He interrupts others, says bad words, and causes trouble. In my opinion, he is a bad person with low quality. I cannot censure him because my spoken English is not good. From my point of view, anyone in an English voice chatting room should follow the room rules and be a nice person with nice behavior. Remember that you come there to practice your English, not to cause trouble. Besides, not to speak Chinese all the time.

My list
Today has been another slow, stressful, boring day. I wake up, I do all the normal stuff we all do (I think), and then I start doing all the homework. Firstly, I write a list with all the things I have to do, so after every homework, I can put a check next to every item on my list. Doing this makes me feel so good like I had accomplished a huge gold. It is a small one, but all together reflect how hard I worked during the day.
Secondly, I started doing the first item on my list thinking that this one is the easiest, but I'm WRONG. I got stuck and It took me probably 3 hours to finish it.
Now I see my list and everything seems so hard and exhausting that I don't want to do anything. All these small accomplishments seem too far away and the great feeling I was expecting to feel never comes.
Tomorrow I can do better, I could put a second check on my list and feel a little bit fulfilled.

What’s Color Is The Universe?
In 2002, as a result of an analysis of the brightness of 200000 galaxies, some American scientists of the John Hopkins University concluded that the colour of the universe was light green, rather than, according to the popular belief, black with silvery spots.
However, some weeks after the announcement to the American Astronomical Society, they admitted a mistake of calculus and explained the universe's colour, in fact, was a dark shade of brown-grey.
Since the 1600s, some of the best minds asked themselves the reason why the night sky is black. If the universe is endless and contains countless stars, the sky should be luminous during the day as well as the night.
This question is known as Olbers’ paradox and its name derives from the German astronomer Heinrich Olbers, who described this phenomenon in 1826.
Still no one has found an acceptable answer to this question. Maybe there is a finite number of stars or maybe the light of the further stars hasn’t yet reached the Earth.
The Olbers’ idea was that, in the past, not every star shine: something would turn them on later.

新年2021
快要新年了！人人都准备了狂欢！但是我们没有什么特别的计划：因为冠状病毒所有的好玩的地方都关门了，所以我们在家里过新年。我们打算做很多吃的东西（说真的没事我一个人需要做的）：一些沙拉，烤火鸡肉，点心。我们请最好的朋友一起庆祝新年。
平常在俄罗斯过新年的时候我们吃俄式沙拉 （煮熟的土豆，青豆罐头，顿的肉或者香肠，煮熟的鸡蛋，胡萝卜，腌黄瓜和一点点蛋黄酱），抹红鱼子的面包片和橘子，喝香槟 （女人喝香槟，男的喝白酒）。吃完以后我们打开电视，钟响过12点时，总统就向全国人民祝贺新年，然后看跨年演唱会。
如果家有孩子们，他们一定在一起都装饰节日的枞树，然后去外面玩：小孩子们用儿童雪橇或者滑雪圈去小山下，堆雪人，打雪仗。晚上他们玩游戏，唱歌，跳舞，也跳我们传统的圆圈舞曲。
小孩子们也很喜欢“冰雪老人”和“雪姑娘”。冰雪老人和雪姑娘都是俄罗斯民间传说的两个角色，现在他们是新年的象征。每年穿这两个极爱色服装的艺人们跟孩子们玩，唱歌，后来宋小礼物（点心或者玩具），都很高兴。
天黑了以后大家开始放烟火，真的很漂亮，是我最喜欢新年的活动！
不管好饭店，俱乐部和其他的好玩的地方都关门了，我们肯定过新年过得挺好！

Mutated Coronavirus
We've found a formidable long term foe for mankind in the coronavirus and they say that every time a corona virus develops, it mutates so frequently that we have to keep looking into it very closely with new eyes. We may have found the last boss in the coronavirus to resolve. It was found in England in June last year and was not so active at that time. Recently it's been so active that the most of the patients in England infected with coronavirus were caused by this strain of the mutated coronavirus. Although vaccination of the coronavirus has just began in England, neighboring countries like France and Germany have prevented human interaction with England. Furthermore, some kind of mutated coronavirus from South Africa was found, and South Africa had already been devastated by this virus. Some days ago, five people from England turned out to be infected by the mutated coronavirus, and were quarantined at an airport. As time passes, the number of infected people is increasing, and it's becoming clearer the Japanese government should have focused on vaccination like England. This is a critical point, vaccination is the strongest weapon to terminate coronavirus.
