A Short History of the EU(2)

After the fall of Berlin wall in 1989, a very dynamic phase has started for the EEC. The Maastricht Treaty created the EU with the implementation of cooperation in foreign policy and internal security. Austria, Finland, Sweden have joined the EU in 1995. In 2002 the Euro got into circulation, replacing the present currency of 12 member states. In mid-90s the greatest enlargement of the EU took place by the joining of new democracies leaving the Soviet Union.

In 2005 a draft EU Constitution, replacing all the previous existing treaties, was rejected by two national referandums and in 2007, the Treaty of Lisbon, which only amends the previous treaties, was signed.

A Short History of the EU(1)

European Coal and Steel Community was founded on 18 April 1951 with the Treaty of Paris, following Robert Schuman’s proposal. Founding states were Federal Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, France and Luxembourg. In 1957 the “Six” set up the European Atomic Energy Community, the latter involving common policies on trade and agriculture, and abolishment of custom duties inbetween.

In 1973 first enlargement of EEC took place by the joining of Denmark, UK and Ireland. In June 1979 the first elections to the European Parliament was held. In 1980’s joined Greece, Spain and Portugal. With the addition of southern states, grew more need to regional aid programmes. In 1980s presented itself a wave of “europessimism” during the worldwide economic recession. To tackle this mindset, published the European Comission a White Paper, setting out a goal of completing European single market by 1993.

Entrada 6

Ayer tuve un dolor de estómago todo el día. Era muy doloroso y no me gustaba. Así que no hacía muchas cosas. Sólo tomé una siesta por mucho del día. Pero hoy me siento un poco mejor. Consecuentemente estoy trabajando en mi español. Es muy interesante. Tengo dificultad con los tiempos pasados y sus diferencias, sin embargo estoy practicando casi todos los días en preparación para mi clase del semestre invierno. Tengo tres semanas. ¡Desearme suerte por favor!

La solitude

De nos jours, on peut souvent observer les gens qui préfèrent rester à la maison plutôt que sortir avec ses amis. Présentement, le coronavirus et avec lui, les restrictions sociales contribuent à ce phénomène. Donc, peut-on dire que notre société contemporaine favorise la solitude, indépendamment de coronavirus ?

Avant tout, il est importante de définir le terme "solitude" et d'un coup d'œil au dictionnaire nous montre que la solitude est simplement l'état d’être seul. Cependant, la problème ici est que tout le monde a une définition individuelle de cela. Et parfois, ce que fait me sens seule, est complètement normal pour quelqu'un d'autre et vice versa.

Il est aussi un fait qu'il y a généralement d'extravertis et l'intrevertis.

Schachstrategien

Ich wollte schon lange Schachstrategien lernen. Ich kenne nur eine Strategie, wenn man das so nennen kann. Es heißt "Scholar's Mate" und man kann den Gegner in nur vier Zügen schachmatt setzen. Als Kind wurde ich davon besiegt, und stellte sicher dass ich es lernte. Es ist wirklich eine Anfängerfalle. Bald werde ich im Urlaub sein, Ich habe eine App namens "Learn Chess with Dr. Wolf" herunterladen, es scheint gut alle die Schachprinzipien zu lernen.

Journal 15/12/20

When I was going to go home from work, my headmaster called me and told me that there would be a meeting related to the communist youth league being held in the meeting room on the first floor of the district committee tomorrow morning and the meeting would start at 9 am. There are no communist youth league members in our department because the employees here are all beyond their twenty-eight, so I think the contents of the meeting would have nothing to do with our job. But as a component of the district government, our department should send people to attend the meeting on time, carefully record and truthfully convey the spirits of the meeting.

War conflicts

Who can prevent conflicts? People who cause conflict, because they first need to understand why conflicts are unnecessary in the world. If they do not change themselves, the world situation will never change. And no one can not change their way of thinking until they realize that they should be tolerant of everyone of a different color skin, religion or origins. Conflicts will disappear if conflicting people stop appropriating for lands or fighting for lands with raw materials. Conflicts will disappear too if the whole world will be tolerant and honest each other.
We can also teach people by showing them, for example, pictures of various looks of each nationality, in order that accustom them that everyone is different. Eventually we are people and nothing that is human is to us strange (I don’t know if sentence is correct, original version: ‘Humani sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto’). We can also make conflicting individuals aware of the types of religion that do not hurt anyone, that all religions are in some way similar to each other.

Are there too many repetitions? Can it be replaced with something?

I couldn’t log into a WeChat account this afternoon. It required me to use a phone I last time logged into the account to scan the QC that the WeChat provided. I used two phones that I used to use to try, but they all failed. Another option was to let a WeChat friend send me the number WeChat provided, but that account didn’t have any friends. I looked at a solution on the internet and it told me that I could use my phone number to complain about login. I followed the steps to do it and finally I logged in. I have a lot of precious pictures in the moments of that account. I don’t want to lose them.

밥의 도구

제 여행 때문 제 밥들한테 많은 도구를 할 수 알아요. 포크랑 나이프, 숟가락, 젓가락과 순으로 먹을 수 있어요 :)

손은 다 가져서 편리해요. 그런데 밥을 끝날 때 손들이 자주 정말 더러워요.

젓가락으로만 먹기 좋아해요. 그런대 가끔 이렇게 할 수 없어요. 국을 젓가락으로 먹기 이상해요! 그래서 숟가락도 쓰기 좋아요.

그리고 포크랑 나이프는 젓가락 똑같아요! 좋아해대 가끔 숟가락이 필요해요.

English Conversation

Today, I did an online English conversation for the first time. Speaking is quite different from writing, and I think speaking is the most difficult among the four skills (Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing). In Japanese education, we learn reading mainly and listening and writing a bit. I think it is impossible that all students practice speaking in English because there are few opportunities to use English in Japan. Anyway, I'll try to keep improving my English.

我学习汉语的三个原因

1. 我学习汉语的第一个原因是:我享受听中文歌。(可以说:”我喜欢听懂中文歌“ 吗?- I like to listen and understand Chinese music?)
我也是很多中国歌手的歌迷,比如林俊杰,周兴哲,周伦杰等等,而且我天天听他们的歌曲。

2. 我学习汉语的第二原因是:我还想提高我的汉语水平,所以我能继续与我的中国朋友(和我在中国认识的会说汉语国际的朋友)保持联系。我们都用中文沟通。我也想认识更多的学习汉语的新朋友。
(哪个是对的词汇- “所以我能继续..." 还是 ”所以我可以继续..." ?)

3. 我学习汉语的第三原因是: 我是一个美国华裔。为了更了解我和我家庭背景和文化,我几年前开始学习汉语。原来我的父母不高兴我在大学选中文的专业,但随着时间过去,他们慢慢地接受我的选择。
(“更” 在 “为了更了解..." 听起来奇怪吗?)

(第2和3的句子,必须加上 ”个“ 在 ”我学习汉语的第二/三(个)原因“ 吗?)

谢谢!

Can you make it more colloquial or improve it? plz

How do you like your college life ?
1. I had a great time in college, because I had a lot of fun, made lots of friends, and finished my homework follow my plan. The most important thing I achieved was figuring out who I really am and what really makes me happy. With no parents or other authority figures around to dictate rules, I learned to make choices just for me. Those choices defined a direction for my life that was based on what I wanted, not what I was told to want. I learned how to create my own happiness.
2. My opinion: As we known, we had the same goal and go towards it during our senior high school. But there were too many subjects we have to learn and we often forced ourselves to finish the daily tasks without passion. When I was a freshman in college, I suddenly dawn on the mean of “life is full of challenges”. I used to think time is always no enough, but now time is no a luxuries anymore. I have fewer classes than I used to and have so much leisure time to enjoy. I can do everything I want, so it caused the beginning of bad habit. I addition in wasted my time on playing computer games and playing mobile phone. I even didn’t want to leave my dormitory. But you know, people is change with time go by. Time is not about how much you have, but how you use it. I started to review and preview my study in the classic and go to the library to read books in English as possible. I gained patience on doing everything, including study and social contact. In a word, college life is a new born of my characteristic and the consist progress of improving myself.

¿Cuáles son las canciones que nunca jamás vas a olvidar?

Hace unos años, un video de una ballerina cubana con 94 años que sufría de alzhéimer se hizo viral cuando recordó los movimientos del Lago de Cisnes. Esta historia es un buen ejemplo de que tan interconectadas son la música y la memoria. Segun la ciencia, cada vez que escuchamos una melodía se lanza un llamativo proceso en nuestro cerebro, activando varias zonas, incluso en nuestra memoria. ¿Para ti, cuáles son las canciones que nunca jamás vas a olvidar? ¿Serían vinculadas con un evento especial en tu vida? ¿Quizás las habías repetidas por meses sin fin?

動物の弾圧

今日は半分のPeter Singerの「Animal Liberation」を読んだ。動物の弾圧について。第1章の話題は動物の道義の扱いについて。大体は動物は痛みがあるから人間と同じ道義の意味がある。第2章の話題は動物の試験について。例は軍隊や心理学の動物の試験だ。第3章の話題は工場式農場について。例は豚と鶏のひどい扱いだ。将来で、この話題について詳しく書くと思う。

Do the advantages of computer games outweigh the disadvantages? Why?
As for me,I think that the disadvantage of computer games outweigh the advantage.
It' sure playing computer games can elevate people's reaction ability. But for those people who just lack of self-control,they may become so addictd to games that they forget their assignments and even abandon their goals which was set last week!
In addition,I found some people talked billingsgate when they played the computer game because they will lose their game soon. It seems that the games will impacted people's mood,which let you become more impulsive and irritable as well.

Предложения для моих карточек - 12/14

Когда я хотела найти работу, я искала вакансии на некоторых сайтах.

Я думаю, что люди моего поколения редко ходят в кадровое агенство, потому что нам легче искать работу по интернету.

Если вам трудно написать резюме, этот сайт может вам помогать в поиске работы.

Она разместила фотографию в интернете после вечеринки.

Я очень в тебе разочаровалась.

Если вы хотите, чтобы опубликовали вашу статью, нельзя ждать у моря погоды. Надо послать предложение редактору журнала!

Есть в США в общей сложности 16,5 миллионов случаев коронавируса на сегодняшний день.

Я просто не могу сидеть сложа руки когда ты делаешь столько ошибок.

Я жду с нетерпением следующую книгу этого писателя. Я очень восхищаюсь его остроумием.

Многие студенты моего университета работают на почасовой основе во время учебного года.

Терпеть не могу групповые проекты. Другие члены моей группы просто бездельничают и именно я должна сделать всю работу. И ещё, признают свои заслуги того, что не сделали!

Если я хорошо работаю и получаю хорошие отзывы, то повысят мою зарплату через полгода.

Я вырабатываю планы для всех моих учеников, чтобы контролировать их прогресс в изучения английского.

Я наконец доработала статью и её послала редактору журнала.

Я хочу заработать на служебную собаку. Стоит дорого обучить такую собаку но она безусловно мне очень поможет.

Un protector bucal

Rechino los dientes al dormir y la otra noche soñé que había roto uno de ellos. Estaba muy preocupada y mi novio me compró un protector bucal para dormir. El protector está hecho de plástico que se pone en agua caliente para suavizarlo antes de moldearlo a los dientes. Queda bien por ahora pero me pregunto si tendré dificultad para dormir con plástico en la boca.

Me suele doler la mandíbula además de este problema con el rechinar de los dientes así que tengo que hacer una cita con mi dentista para arreglarlo.

Dec. 14, 2020 The decoretions for Christmas

I like all the decoretions for festivals, but personally, I don't like to have many things that only use for few days a year. I need to spend a lots of maney to buy them, a lots of time to collect them, also a lots of space to store them. So, I always prefer to choose some simple things for decoreting.

This year I find a solar laser light which is very convenience and interesting. The only thing that I need to do is to put it into the snow of my front yard. It will shine the gree and red moving light pattern on the wall. It looks plenty and beautiful. It uses the solar power, so I don't need to worry about to setting up the cable or something. It's super easy. Only one thing was over my mind that was too cold this few days. The battery couldn't work outside. I hope the temperature can go up next week.

Работа и кризис

Из-за кризиса многие люди потеряли работу и стали безработными. Многим кажется, что это ужасная ситуация, но тут есть и положительная сторона. Если вы получаете удовольствие от работы и предпочитаете держаться за своё место, то понятно, почему вы боитесь безработицы. Но если наоборот, то зачем продолжать ходить каждый день на работу как на каторгу? У вас возможность искать работу по новой специальности или исполнть детскую мечту. Подумайте, может быть кризис – это шанс полностью изменить свою жизнь к лучшему. Лучше поздно, чем никогда!
