米調査 飲み過ぎは20~49歳の人に大きい問題

米医学誌JAMAネットワーク・オープンに発表された調査によると、20~49歳で死亡した人のうち、飲み過ぎはその死亡の5分に1の原因でした。そしてお酒に関係する死亡の具体的な原因が多様でした。自動車事故やアルコール中毒、肝臓病などでした。

そのニュースを見て、悲しいと思いました。過剰な飲酒に関係する死亡は全部予防できるのですから。特に飲酒運転として死亡した人な簡単に別な人に運転させられたのなら、もう生きているでしょう。飲み過ぎの危険についての教育がもっと必要だと思います。

De Danske Pandekager

I går jeg lavede danske pandekager. Danske pandekager er anderledes end pandekagerne laver vi traditionelt i Amerika. De danske pandekage er meget tynd og spiste sædvanligvis med sukker, syltetøj eller is. Jeg synes det smagte godt! Jeg kan ikke vente med at rejse til Danmark og spise mere danske mad.

(​Jeg lærer dansk, men jeg er stadig en begynder. Kan du hjælpe mig? Tak!)

Why Do We Kiss?

Kissing is one of the strangest activities people and some animals do. At first glance, what is so attractive about exchanging our saliva and the remnants of our dinner's salad? Nevertheless, humanity consider kissing to be pleasant and desirable activity. In case you’ve never paid much attention to the nature of kissing, below I’ll describe why we kiss each other in the first place and why we should do this even more.  

Certainly, kisses can be different, but anyone knows how to kiss someone. We kiss our friend on the cheek, kiss to say hello and goodbye, kiss our parents and children, and give romantic and erotic kisses. Whether you’re a kid, an adult, or an elder, you have probably kissed at least one person in your life. 

The reasons for kissing
So why do we kiss? By and large, because it’s pleasurable. Kisses provoke a lot of emotions such as joy, excitement, and sexual arousal. On the contrary, kisses can cause negative feelings, like awkwardness or confusion. Perhaps, you rarely ask yourself why you kiss someone. As a matter of fact, me either. So, let’s figure out the reasons for kissing. 

One hypothesis suggests that people kiss each other in order to get information about the health of a potential partner. On the whole, most women are looking for a healthy partner who can provide a long-term relationship, whereas most men want a partner who can bear and raise their children. Kissing requires close contact, during which a person can get information about their mate’s smell, taste and hygiene. Hence, a kiss help us understand whether we want to continue this relationship or not. To put it another way, a good kiss can point out a suitable partner. 

Although this may be true, I’m not sure people kiss each other only to form a long-term relationship. Honestly, I gave a whole bunch of kisses in my life simply for pleasure, not for finding someone to raise my potential children. That leads us to the next kissing theory. In another analysis, scientists suggest that a kiss is a tool of seduction. Kisses fuel romantic feelings and provoke strong passion, so we use them in order to derive pleasure. Simply put, we kiss someone to entice them into having intercourse. 

Indeed, I kissed a lot of people in my life, and this theory sounds convincing to me. Although, I’ve found another study where kissing is explained as a sign of trust. In accordance with that, we become vulnerable when we kiss someone by letting this person go into our personal space. In this manner, we form an attachment with a partner and acknowledge that we consider this bond significant. Another study similarly asserts that kissing is a specific ritual for maintaining a long-term relationship. Correspondingly, kisses help reinforce closeness, make our emotions deeper, and increase trustworthiness between mates. 

The benefits of kisses
Regardless of the reasons, kisses generate many sensations, from excitement to confusion. So what about the benefits of kissing? Generally, there is a lot of proof that kisses can increase both our physical and mental health. For instance, here is evidence that kisses can reduce stress and cortisol. So, if you feel frustrated or overwhelmed, simply kiss someone. 

Another reason for kissing? It helps burn calories. A prolonged passionate kiss can burn up to 5 calories. I don’t know about you, but this makes me think about kissing more. More than that, kisses can lower people’s cholesterol, which is a substantial benefit if you had a romantic dinner with your paramour just before kissing. 

Be that as it may, kissing is a great activity regardless of the reasons and benefits. At first glance, kisses have no obvious pluses, but the fact is that they can improve your mood, increase your libido, and even help you to find a partner for life. With this in mind, I suggest you don’t hesitate to please yourself and kiss someone who you want right away.

宿題は面倒くさいです

もっと自由に日本語を話せるようになりたいです。そのために数か月前から少し練習を積み重ねてきましたけど、まだまだ話すことと書くことは結構時間がかかりますし、間違いや不自然な言葉の選び方が多いです。もちろん、通りやすい道程ではないことは最初から知ってましたけど(むしろそれこそは楽しめる要素の一つ)、でも最近は練習のためにあまり時間を作れられなくて、私の主な目標(様々な話題について、ある程度まで人とうまく話せるようになること)を達成するために具体的にどうすればいいのかはよく分からないので、今は少しい悔しいです。

大学で忙しいので、これについて考えたくても、時間がなくて考えられないのは仕方がなくて、また時間がある時にすることしかないですけど、少しこの考えをまとめたかったので(練習もしたかったのです)つい面倒くさいな宿題を後回しにしてしまいました。要するに、時間があれば、日本に行った時その機会を最大限に生かせるように頑張りたいと思います。

A little diary

11.15
Yesterday I played badminton with some stranger for about 2 hours. I really enjoyed playing badminton, and actually other ball games are just quite difficult for me.

I am not an extrovert, so actively talking with a person I haven’t seen before can be far too hard for me. To be more socially interactive with people, I was trying to push myself to fit into different environments and make some friends.

I found that when I talk to someone, though we don’t know each other, he is willing to response to me. So if you do not dare to communicate with strangers, try to count “3 2 1” mentally and then start talking, put the fear behind.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and simultaneously getting out of my bed becomes harder and harder for me. I might have gotten up early if I had to have a class in physical classroom. Anyway, who doesn’t like to wake up naturally?

In the afternoon, I watched some videos from a YouTuber named Jedcal. I was wondering why his video could be so amazing, the cinematic style and the cool edition. A bunch of time and effort must have been put into making these videos, as well as high-end photographic equipments.

Please review my essay

Why do some people not like quiet places?
Well, there are many possibilities. Some people are extroverted and like to spend time in crowded places enjoying the exciting and lively atmosphere. These people may feel lonely without being surrounded by a group of people. Others might have a sense of danger in a place with a lack of noise. For example, they may be afraid of walking through empty alleyways or parking lots.


Do you need a quiet place when you are working?
Yes, I do. I feel more concentrated on my work if there is no sound around distracting my thought. However, I work from home, so there are times when my house is quite noisy when my parents are outside of work. My mom puts the TV volume really high, and my dad plays YouTube videos on his phone extremely loudly. I find that when I’m working under these conditions, my work productivity really suffers.


Why do people like to spend time in quiet places?
I think for all sorts of reasons. One is that many people, like me, feel that the absence of sound can boost their work productivity. They can concentrate more. That’s why libraries are packed with students before exams. Besides, modern people are surrounded by the sound of vehicles, devices, and the crowd. So sometimes, they want to spend time in quiet café and parks to get a rest from the hustle and bustle of life.

5. Do you know anyone who likes noise
My aunt always has her television on really loud. I think this is because she lives alone, and she does this to create a livelier atmosphere around her empty house. My brother likes to play music on speakers with the maximum volume. I think all my next-door neighbors can hear it clearly. And my dad, he loves singing karaoke. He bought two massive speakers from Sony which are as big as my seven-year-old nephew. These two produce sound waves that can vibrate the whole house. My ears really suffer from this.

Quiero vivir en Europa

Cuando viajo a Europa, cada vez me doy cuenta de cuánto me falta todo lo que hay allí y que no tengo en mi país. Aquí están las cosas que más quiero de los países europeos en los que he estado.

Lo más importante es el aire. El momento cuando llego a un país europeo, siento que me pongo intoxicada. No puedo dejar de respirar profundamente, intentando preservar un poco de este precioso aire que no hay donde vivo.

La arquitectura europea. ¡Joder!, ¡¿cómo es posible tener tanta belleza en cada ciudad, por cada calle?! Los países europeos están llenos de edificios del siglo diecinueve, de iglesias y catedrales antiguas. Es como si tu apareciera en un cuento de hadas.

¡Y claro, las campanas, tío! Hay ciudades donde se puede oír el repique de la campanas algunas veces en una sola ora, ¿no es maravilloso?
¿Porque ganar mucho dinero o tener relaciones sexuales cuando puedes escuchar el repique de las campanas tantas veces cada día?

Live off the grid

Some weeks ago, I learned a new expression while browsing Youtube: Live off the grid.

Since the COVID19 pandemic, in France, some families were looking for houses to buy in the countryside or in some regions which were easily accessible by trains from their working place in the city. I would say it is good news with some restraints though. Why?

The price of houses can rise fastly, and it’s a problem for local people to buy a house afterwards. Most of the time, people who come from the cities have a better income, and can afford a house offered at a high price on the market. You know the rule : a lot of demands increase the price because the offers are less signifiants.

This society phenomenon could be interesting in depopulated villages. There are some villages which have the optical fiber and then a fast internet connection. People could work online because the main problem in villages is the lack of jobs. Obviously, there are some sectors where they need workers, like in elderly care. Unfortunately, these jobs are poorly paid and you need to use your own car to go to your patient's house. Not all of them live in a retirement home. Now, with the price of gasoline, these kinds of jobs aren't attractive at all even if the employer pays a part of the kilometers fees that you make. You also have to take in consideration the wear of your car.
All that to say, to make a village alive and enjoyable, you need people, yes for sure, but also job offers, industries, bakeries, doctors and so on. Otherwise, I guess it is a waste of time. All that asks for a big plan and major investments from many regional actors and from the village itself. Nothing will really happen by simply snapping their fingers. Now, with the high cost of energy, I don’t really know how they will attract investors in the industrial field. Not to forget that our working costs are expensive compared to many countries.

I wandered off a bit…!

I admire handy people and the ones who fend for themselves. However, I think that it’s impossible to totally live alone nowadays. You will always need one day a fellow to help you in a tricky situation. Imagine you are totally sick and you aren’t able to lift a leg out of your bed, it’s always a less source of stress to know that on the other side of the phone there is a doctor ready to heal you. If you are alone in your converted cave, natural selection can take care of you more easily. ;)
Even if I’m a kind of solitary girl by nature, the total adventurous life isn’t made for me. I don’t always have an advised eye to see where my house would need some mends by example. Of course, if I see a crack in the wall, I know that it is better to repair it before having water seepages.

These people living out of the grid are inspiring, some build their own house by themself almost from scratch. They use old tips for creating dry toilets and so on. I like their modesty. What else to say… life is a circle, sometimes a return to the source is liberating. :)

Première guerre mondiale (partie finale)

15 juillet 1918, l'Opération Marneschutz-Reims a échoué, et marque la chute de l'Allemagne dans cette guerre. Dans la dernière bataille, qui s'appelle « La Grande Offense des Alliés » (Allied Grand Offense), une attaque simultané des Alliés contre l'Allemagne. Les Alliés ont atteint la ligne Hindenburg, finale ligne defensive pour l'Allemagne et a brisé la ligne. L'Allemagne est perdu.

4 octobre 1918, l'Allemagne a demandé à É.-U. une armistice, et d'évacuer tous les troupes dans tous les territoires occupés. Kaiser Wilhem II a abdiqué, la Traité de Versailles est signé, et les pays est apparu de nouveau aussi (comme la Pologne, etc.).

La Traité de Versailles a imposé un restraint sur la militaire allemagne, qui doit payer les compensation aux Alliés pour les dégâts inflictés et perdre la majorité de sa territoire. Le Rhineland est une zone démilitarisé pour la militaire allemagne, qui s'agit d'une zone tampone pour les Alliés, donner plus de temps à la France et ses alliés d'agir dans les potentiels invasions d'Allemagne.

Première guerre mondiae (partie 2)

Après, la guerre est transformé dans une guerre de trenchées. Puis mené dans un état de nul pendant 3 ans. L'Allemagne utilise ses sous-marins et a employé une blocage pour empêcher la Bretagne d'obtenir la norriture. Le blocage a échoué parce que la force navale est moins puissant comparé à celui de Bretagne. La Bretagne a utilisé la même méthode et a détruit beaucoup de norriture pour les soldats pendant quelques mois. À cause de ça, l'Allemagne résume la guerre sous-marine sans restriction, où les sous-marines peuvent détruire n'importe quels bateaux sur la mer qu'ils considèrent comme une « menace ».

Cependant, cette stratégique metterai l'Allemagne en beaucoup de risque, car cela faisait les États-Unis de rejoindre la guerre en 1917. Malgré tout, l'Allemagne continue. Après avoir coulé la 2ème (ou 3ème) bateau civil qui vient des É.-U. à Bretagne, les É.-U. a declaré guerre à Allemagne.

En Octobre, la Russie a quitté la guerre en raison de la Révolution d'Octobre, un coup d'État pour renverser le roi Tsar. Elle a signé une armistice avec les Empires Centraux.

Avec la Russie quitté la guerre, ce incident a laissé les Alliés en Europe désamparé, leurs troupes et économie sévèrement endommagé. En perdant une grande allié à l'Est, les troupes Allemagne concentre les troupes sur l'Ouest, faisant aussi le progrès à l'Est de France. À cette moment vitale, les É.-U. envoie les troupes fraîches en France tous les jours, c'est maintenant l'Allemagne qui est désamparé. Sa allié, Austriche-Hongrie est complètement inutile tout à long dans cette guerre et l'Italie, qui a rejoindre les Alliés puis signé une armistice. C'est-à-dire que l'Allemagne est tout seul contre France, G.-B. et les É.-U., Canada et aussi l'Australie (et d'autres pays)

2. Describe a quiet place
You should say:
Where it is
When you like to go there
What you do there
And explain why you like to visit there
The place that I would like to about is the front porch of my house. Usually, when thinking of a quiet place, people living in cities may think about a park or a library. Although I’m also living in a city - in fact, I live in my city’s busiest street, Phan Chu Trinh street, most of the time in the day, my neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. This is because my house is not located on the main road, but in a small dead-end alley. Apart from 7 to 8 am and around 5 pm, when people commute to and from work, there is almost no traffic in the alley. So my front porch is free from vehicle noises.

As I work from home, I can choose any places in my house to work, and when there is no task, I can take a break without being wary of my employer. So if I want some fresh air, I would go to sit in a chair on my front porch.
The chair is not very comfortable to sit in; it is made entirely of wood and has a straight back. But what I like about the spot is that the chair is seated next to the house’s fish pond. The pond was built by my dad, in which we raise a large number of tiny fishes that I have no idea what their species are, and three beautiful koi fishes – two juveniles and one adult. The three are a typical type of koi fish that has a white body with red-and-black-colored markings. My dad grows a variety of submerged, floating, and emergent plants in the pond. He built a concrete cover for the pond with a movable glass window to keep dirt out of the pond and prevent direct sunlight heating the water. On top of the cover, there are some pot plants with leaves hanging down to the water's surface. There is also a banyan tree to provide shade for the porch. The water is purified day and night by a powerful filter, so it is crystal clear. I can spend hours watching the vivid green mats on the surface of the water forming by Duckweed and Mosquito Fern foliage, the feather-like foliage of Parrot's Feather and Hornwort swaying with the flow of water created by the filter, and the colorful fishes swimming peacefully around the plants. Sitting there, all I can hear are the relaxing sound of water flowing and birds chirping. I can really immerse myself in nature in the middle of a major city at my doorstep.

My Thoughts On Learning Languages

In my opinion, in order to learn a language well, one may need at least nine years to study (let us assume that the learners are not living in their target language speaking countries).

No matter how hard the learners study, their learning time is still less, but if they live in their target language speaking countries, they will learn very quickly because even if they are reluctant to study, they will still have a lot of time to study passively.

People around the learners speak the learners' target language, the environment surrounding the learners is full of their target language, and the learners can use their target language every day.

So if you have the chance to live in a country where people speak your target language, please take all the advantages of it. Study hard and you will save about 60 percent of the time it will take when you study in your native country.

Χειρόγραφα κείμενα

Πριν από περίπου δύο μήνες άρχισα να διαβάσω μερικά βιβλία στα ελληνικά. Απ' όλα αυτά που έχω, προσπάθησα να επιλέξω εκείνα που φαίνονται πιο εύκολα (και κυρίως πιο σύντομα, αυτό όμως δεν είχε πολλή σημασία στο τέλος επειδή τα περισσότερα ήταν συλλογές διηγημάτων). Με εξέπληξε πως πολλά ήταν ακόμα γραμμένα με το πολυτονικό σύστημα· στο διάβασμα δεν πειράζει, μα αν θες να γράψεις, το να θημηθείς όλους τους τόνους σε κάθε λέξη πρέπει να έιναι σκληρό.
Ενώ ξεφύλλιζα τα διάφορα βιβλία που σκεφτόμουν να διαβάσω, άνοιξα ένα και βρήκα ένα μικρό σημείωμα (στα ελληνικά, φυσικά). Δεν κατάφερα να το διαβάσω γιατί δεν μπορούσα να καταλάβω τους γραφικούς χαρακτήρες: η γραφή που έχω συνηθίσει δεν είναι τόσο παρόμοια με το πώς γράφουν πολλοί άνθρωποι κάποιες φορές.
Έτσι, έπρεπε να αποκρυπτογράψω το κείμενο λέξη προς λέξη μέχρι να τις κατανοήσω όλες. Η αδερφή εκείνης που είχε γράψει το σημείωμα ήταν η συγγραφέας του βιβλίου: ήταν ένα μεταθανάτιο έργο με τα κείμενα που δεν κατάφερε να δημοσιέψει πριν πεθάνει. Τότε, η αδερφή φρόντισε για τη δημοσίευση κι έστειλε μερικά αντίτυπα σε γνωστούς της συγγραφέα. Το βιβλίο είναι απ' το 2008, οπότε αυτό συνέβη πριν από αρκετό καιρό.

Die beste Arbeitsstelle

Ich mag nicht meine heutige Arbeit (passt 'heutige' hier? ich meine die Arbeit, die ich jetzt habe). Jeden Morgen habe ich schlechte Stimmung, da ich an meine Arbeit denke, und wie muss ich den ganzen Tag im Office verbringen.
Schlechte Laune haben ist kein gutes Ding, und außerdem, schadet es die Gesundheit. Also versuche ich häufig an etwas Gutes zu denken. Zum beispiel, errinere ich mich an mein altes Job.
Vor zehn Jahren, als ich noch ein Student war, habe ich eine Arbeit gesucht. Nach mehrere Wochen der Suche habe ich eine Stelle im Representänzbüro einer italienische Firma.
An dieser Arbeitsstelle musste ich oft Geschäftsreisen machen, im Durchschnitt 10 Tage pro Monat. Die restliche Tage musste ich im Office arbeiten. Das office war von einer gewönliche Wohunug gemacht. Im Office waren Arbeitszimmer meines Bosses, ein Zimmer für Buchhalterin und Vertriebsleiterin, ein Schlafzimmer meines Bosses, eine Küche und ein Badezimmer. Wenn Ihr fragt, warum das Office ein Schalfzimmer hat, dann sollt Ihr wissen, dass der Boss grundsätzlich im Office lebte. Es war lustig, manchmal Office zu betreten und den schlafenden Boss durch einen Spaltbreit offene Schlafzimmertür zu sehen.
Die Arbeitsatmsphäre im Office war großartig. Der Boss war ein sehr positiver Mensch, der gern Witze erzählte und erlaubt kein Stress am Arbeitsplatz. Zum Mittagsessen kochte jemand etwas Einfaches zu Essen. Manchmal hat der Boss selbst gekocht. So kochte er seine Lieblingsgericht, eine 'armer kroatischer Manns Gericht': er bratete etwas Mehl und Knoblauch, hinzufügte Spinat und Milch und kochte den Spinat für weitere 5 Minuten; denn kochte er Würste und serviert die mit dem Spinat.
Ich mochte die Arbeit, aber nach einem Jahr musste ich die Firma verlassen.

Layoffs & Immigration

Mass layoffs are hitting in the tech industry: right after Twitter and Meta discharged thousands of its workforce, Amazon is expected to let go about 10000 employees this week, according to the New York Times. Divisions that bear the brunt include Device, Retail, and HR. In this challenging time, tech employees are concerned about possible layoffs; to make matters worse, many people in this industry are on a work visa. How does layoff affect them? How can they maintain immigration status after their employment is terminated?

In this critical moment, we invited ABC, the founder of ABC & Associate, to answer those questions during our Thursday meetup. Dr. ABC will talk about the matters that people are concerned about the most. She will:

1. discuss how to maintain immigration status after a layoff during different stage of the Green Card process (OPT, H1B, 140, 485, etc)
2. provide advice about the rehiring process
3. analyze if a company needs to pause immigration support due to layoff

My Best Friend in Elementary School

I remembered I had a best friend named Wang in elementary. His mother was beautiful and filmed for a local toothpaste brand, she once invited me to have a lunch at their house, I had a strong memory on the delightful dumpling on that day.
We studied at school, played games after class, sometimes chipped in money to buy snacks. That's a memory like an elephant, a time without anxiety. I thought him as my best friend.
But about 30 years later, It was in 2014. I met him in the opening ceremony of grade one and occasionally found his daughter and my daughter were in a same classroom. I called his name excitedly, but he forgot my name and finally remembered me after I said out my name.
I felt failure and make a bad conclusion: I treated him as my best friend, but he didn't think so. Actually, we didn't chat or phone to each other face to face even our daughters graduated from school.

Please review my essay.

IELTS Speaking part 3:

1 How can rivers/lakes benefit local people?

They can offer many benefits to the local community. The locals can use water from them as drinking water supplies and for household chores such as washing clothes. Rivers and lakes also support local agriculture. They can be used for irrigation and their silt enriches and replenishes the area around them, creating fertile lands which can produce a large number of good-quality crops. Another benefit is that they are nursery grounds for fish species, shrimp, and other aquatic organisms, which supports fishing and aquaculture for the locals. This provides an important source of protein for people’s diets and employment for millions of people. Furthermore, large and navigable ones can also be used as a lower-cost and more efficient way of transporting huge amounts of merchandise than trucks. Some such rivers that I know are the Mississippi and Missouri in the USA, and in Vietnam, we have the Mekong. Besides, many fast-flowing rivers, such as the Columbia River, and again, the Mekong river, can be a source of renewable energy to produce hydropower electricity. Another function I think most lakes and rivers can offer is leisure activities such as fishing and canoeing.

2 Do you think rivers/lakes attract tourists?

Yes, I think they do. It is partly because the water scenery is very pleasant, beautiful, and calming to look at. Tourists like to visit a lake or a river to refresh their minds by spending time in nature and participating in a wide range of water leisure activities such as boating, kayaking, and fishing. Many tourists come to my hometown, Buon Ma Thuot city, to admire the beauty of various primitive lakes such as the Ea Kao and the Lak.

3 How do rivers/lakes affect local tourism?

They can greatly benefit tourism in the community in many ways. They provide sources of water and silt that can replenish and enrich the around area, so usually, lakes and rivers are surrounded by plants and trees. So tourists, especially nature-loving ones, can be irresistibly tempted to choose a place with a lake or river for holiday to admire the view of the glittering and sparking water and vivid green vegetation. Besides, lakes and rivers are usually nursery grounds for birds, so they can help tourism in the local by attracting tourists that are bird lovers. On top of that, they can also entice visitors that are into aquatic leisure activities such as boating, fishing, and kayaking.


4 Are rivers/lakes good for transport? Why?

I think it depends on their navigability. For example, small rivers and lakes with limited water depth cannot facilitate transportation by large ships, and those with fast-flowing currents may not be capable of assisting a small boat in crossing them. Also, rivers and lakes cannot be operated for transportation throughout the year as water may freeze during winter or water level may go down too much during summer. On the other hand, navigable ones can be used effectively as a means of transport. Waterway does not require any cost of construction and maintenance, and the operating cost of inland water transport is very low. Plus, ships can carry an enormous amount of heavy and bulky goods. So you can see that rivers and lakes can provide a viable alternative or addition to road and rail transport. The Great Lakes on or near the Canada-United States border, and the Mississippi and Missouri rivers in the USA are notable examples of many crucial water transportation networks in the world.

A minha experiência no mundo da educação de pessoas adultas

A minha trajetória como professor de pessoas adultas.
Eu vou falar brevemente sobre a minha experiência no mundo da educação de pessoas adultas.
Há uns anos teve a oportunidade de fazer uma substituição de um professor que trabalhava nesta etapa educativa. Foram dois meses a trabalhar com um tipo de alunado muito diferente ao que eu estava acostumado: as crianças. Ali descobri uma parte da educação baseada em outras metodologias, com outras disciplinas ou matérias, com outro contacto bem diferente com o alunado. Em definitiva, eu fiquei apaixonado por esta etapa.
Desde aquele ano, todos os anos letivos que eu tenho podido, tenho escolhido um posto como professor de pessoas adultas.
Há quatro anos, finalmente consegui superar o exame e ganhei um posto como funcionário definitivo. Não o duvidei um momento e escolhi novamente trabalhar nesta etapa.
Assim que agora eu tenho um posto definitivo na educação de pessoas adultas onde espero ficar durante alguns anos mais, pois estou muito contento com este trabalho y tenho uma ótima relação com os meus alunos y alunas.
