Hornear las galletas
Este post será corto más esta vez, solo porque no sé qué escribir. También a veces es mejor escribir los posts cortos de todas formas. Así que, esta noche, escribiré lo que hice con mi mamá.
Últimamente, hemos estado horneando galletas y otros dulces. Temprano, horneamos galletas las huellas del pulgar. Son básicamente galletas pequeñas donde se apreta en la mitad y se pone jalea dentro. Para la cena, horneamos galletas de queso. Fue un poco desordenado pero fue aún divertida.
De verdad me gusta hornear con mi mamá. Considero que es “tiempo vinculación afectiva” con ella.

昔々ある日ネズミがあった
昔々ある日ネズミがあった。そのネズミはハツカネズミだった。壁の横に小さい穴がある。その穴はネズミの家だった。小さくて贅沢ではなかった。でもネズミは幸せだった。友達が一つだから。しかしその友達はとっても優しくて親切だった。二人で小さな岩の家の奥の森に住んでいた。周りの家に庭があった。いっぱいの花や野菜を咲いていた。ネズミの友達は魔法使いの男だった。二人で貧乏な暮らした。でも幸せな暮らしだった。料理をしたり掃除をしたりしていた。ある日高くな戦士が来た。魔法使いに「お前は王様についてきてください」と聞きました。魔法使いは嫌と思った。でのさ高くな戦士は重くそうな剣が持っていた。だから家出した戦士ついていった。ネズミは一人暮らししてしっまた。悲しそうだった。

Day 2 Journaling
Hi, today, I have just finished a book named Brave New World.
Brave new world is a novel written by Aldous Huxley in 1932. It's a novel who talks about a world in the future where there is one man who can control all the others people on the earth. In this book, the society is divided in 4 caste.
During all the story, we follow a man called Bernard. He go on a “savages reserve” and find people who were lost in this area. He brought them up to the civilization but the “Savage” didn’t enjoyed the civilization and wanted to go back to a less civilized world.
I think Huxley, by writing this book, wanted to alert people’s on the dangers of a controlled environment. And the dangers of drugs without limits. I think this is a call to liberty and freedom.
I hope you enjoyed this book too and let's talk about it if you want 🙃

L'assistance sur la route
Après être tombé en panne sur la route à Reims, j'ai appelé le service Assistance pour m'aider. Je n'attendais plus que vingt minutes quand Michel est arrivé. Cinq minute plus tard il pouvait déjà me dire que le problème est, malheureusement, grave et il faut que je vienne avec lui pour récupérer une nouvelle voiture. Grâce à sa compréhension d'urgence, j'étais encore en route trente minutes plus tard et je pouvais assister ponctuellement à une réunion importante. Merci pour votre aide, je vous suis très reconnaissante pour votre engagement. Je recommande votre service à tous mes amis.

結婚式の準備：招待状
昨日、オーダーした結婚式の招待状が届きました。段ボール箱のシールを切って開いたら、おしゃれに包まれた招待状と広告のパンフレットが中に入っていました。パンフレットをテーブルに置いておいて、招待状の薄い包み紙を慎重に剝がしました。本状の束に目を通し、内容の一語一語とオーダーが一致しているかを確認し始めました。
よかったぁ、印刷のミスがなかったぁ、と思った時に、なんと！
印刷ミスがあった。おまけに、よりによってうち間違がえのところは返信の締め切り月でした。March（三月）のはずだったのに、April（四月）と書いてありました。招待状サイトのアカウントを調べてみたら、招待状は頼んだ通りにきっちりと印刷されて、私がうっかりと四月を打ってしまったようなので、責任は完全に自分にあったわけです。わ、最悪…
２０枚しか注文しなかったのですが、もし再注文するとしたら、また値段を払らうはめになる上に、２週間以上待たないといけなくなって、ゲストを招待する予定がずれることになります。自分で何とか直すと決めました。
自分の字が汚いので、Aprilを塗りつぶしたり修正テープを使ったりして手書きでMarchを書いていても、落書きにしか見えなかったでしょう。できれば同じフォントとフォントサイズで書きたかったです。何かいい方法あるのかなと悩んでいたら、もしかしてシールを作ってミスを修正したらいいんじゃないかと思いつきました。そして、招待状に合うようにMarchが何度も反復されたデザインを作成しました。近くのフェデックスの店舗に足を運び、作ったデザインで大きいシールを印刷するように頼みました。印刷の料金は600円ぐらいでした。後はシールからMarchを一つ一つ切り取り、招待状に貼るだけです。
要するに、結婚する皆さまへの伝えたいメッセージはこれです。注文する前にもう一度招待状をチェックすること！

Une réunion de famille
Mon mari a six frères et sœurs: il vient d’une grande famille ayant plusieurs cousins, neveux et nièces qui sont tous proches. Ses parents sont morts, il y a quelques années. Je ne les connaissais pas bien parce que peu après notre mariage, nous avons quitté Sri Lanka et nous nous sommes installés en Australie. Malgré ça, mes souviens d’eux sont bons.
La sœur de mon marie, est l’aînée de la famille et elle est médecin. La suivante est une autre sœur qui habite avec sa famille à Londres. Mon mari et elle s’entendent bien. La troisième est une femme au foyer, qui habite dans la maison familiale. Malheureusement, récemment, son mari est mort et elle se sent seule et mon marie l’appelle souvent. Après trois sœurs enfin un frère. Il est ingénieur et l’année dernière a pris sa retraite. Mon mari a deux ans de moins que lui et il l’admire beaucoup. Plusieurs années séparent les cinq plus âgés et les deux plus jeunes. Une sœur est une fonctionnaire et travaille pour la société de télévision nationale. Le benjamine est homme d’affaires et il dirige sa propre entreprise. Voilà, maintenant vous connaissez toute la famille.
L’autre jour, mon mari est tombé sur une vielle photo prise en 2017. C’était une très jolie photo d’eux tous, assistant à un mariage. Mon mari s’est rendu compte que c’était la dernière fois qu’ils se rencontraient tous. Bien entendu, pendant des années de la pandémie, on ne pouvait pas voyager. Mon mari a décidé d’organiser une réunion de famille cette année. Je lui souhaite bonne chance car je sais que ce ne sera pas facile parce qu’ils habitent partout.

Day 34: The Military School
If I don't get into university this year,my second opiton is to apply for The Military Aviation School of Mexico next year. I think that I came up with this idea because I would like to build dicipline and also would like to travel around the world learning many languages as I can. Something good about this school is that all the students have a scholarship. So, they don't need to pay for classes, books, materials, uniforms or hosting as the school pays everything. The entrance exam for this university is really hard, this school also trains soldiers after all. Almost all the commercial pilots of Mexico are from this school.
My sister wants to apply for The Military Medical School of Mexico, I hope that she can get in.
(Sorry if I write too much personal stuff but today I'm run out of ideas about what to write)

Un torneo de ajedrez
Miré unos juegos de ajedrez que hicieron los mejores en el mundo. Jugaron para avanzar a los finales contra Magnus Carlson quién es el mejor jugador ahora. Jugaron dos juegos y el que ganar más avanza. En el primer juego blanco tuvo un oportunidad de vencer pero no lo vió entonces empató el juego. Empató el segundo. Así que ninguno ha ganado jugaron una vez más un juego de ajedrez que se llama Armageddon. La diferencia es que no hay empates, bueno hay empates pero si lo ocurre negro gana. Entonces los jugadores pujan por tiempo y el que puja lo menos juega con este tiempo y el otro tiene la regular. Este juego negro tuvo ocho minutos y blanco quince. Y al fin negro ganó por medio de un empate.

Learning Forum 5
1.-Why did you start to like video games?
When I was a child, I used to get bored and video games provided me challenges that made me feel happy.
2.-Have video games helped you so much in your life?
At first, video games did not help me. They instead made me feel worse. Actually, I use them to be a better person, to improve my mental health and to learn languages.
3.-Why do you think you will learn the benefits of a video game?
When I was reading the textbook called "Reality is Broken" I discovered the benefits of games and it inspired me to make a good use of them and to learn more about games later.

Day 1 journaling
Hi,
I'm gonna introduce myself to you!
My name's Arthur and I live in France. I am 14 years old and, soon, I will be 15 ! (My birthday is on 22nd of April)
I have been learning English at school since I am 8, bur I am really focused on it since 2 years. I think I am at an intermediate level like B2.
I am passionate about learning languages and understanding how does the brain functions.
I enjoy reading and watching films/videos in English. I think immersion is the best way to learn a language.
Thank you for your corrections and see you soon !
Goodbye 👋

The Death of Grammar
It’s said that today communication through instant messengers is surpassing other ways of communication. People get used to sending emojis instead of complete sentences and recording voices instead of sending emails. Some consider this situation truly dangerous and have an assumption that instant messaging may lead to the death of grammar and spelling rules at some point. Even though those fears aren’t groundless in general, I can’t agree with this idea. I don’t think we’ll lose our ability to communicate properly only because developing technologies let us send emojis instead of words.
We certainly can do without proper grammar and spelling on the whole. Now that we have Snapchat, Telegram and Instagram, why should we bother ourselves with what’s happening with a language? Just look at modern teenagers who practically live on their phones, ignoring reality and spending all their time online. I have two 12-year-old nieces who live in different countries and don’t know each other; nevertheless, both of them do the same thing at the same time, namely stick to the screens of their smartphones, watching videos, recording voice messages, making selfies, and doing whatever else they might think of. It seems to me that if their parents just let them, these girls would spend all their time with phones, and I hope that the situation won’t get to this point one day.
That said, I still don’t think we should panic and take away phones from children and adults in order to defend proper grammar and spelling. First of all, it’s cruel. Secondly, it even sounds unrealistic; I won’t give you my phone, for example. So, what should be done? What will help us to preserve correct grammar and spelling in the chaos and craziness of online chats, bots, and apps that are presumably destroying our languages right now? Well, I think we have to put things in perspective in this matter.
At the very heart of any educational system are universities and colleges which are meant to be temples of knowledge and wisdom. It seems to me that professors and lecturers won't let education fall to its lowest level. It's true that education is a worthwhile opportunity to enlighten one’s mind. That being said, in order to get a degree, anyone has to go through various exams and assessments, among which are making calculations, writing essays, and so on. To put it simply, the very concept of education implies willingness to solve tasks, obey restrictions and study rules whether it's laws of math or it's laws of grammar. With this kind of restrictions and goals, we’ll lose proper grammar and spelling only when we lose our education.
A second large group of people who won’t let grammar and spelling die is language learners. There’s no shortage of people who are deeply interested in learning languages, and among their goals are usually correct writing and spelling. If so many of us desire to be fluent in foreign languages, how can we lose them? Indeed, that doesn’t mean that we always can produce foreign writing and speech correctly. However, the desire to learn itself protects us from the danger of ignorance. Additionally, language learners begin with learning the basics, which means they pick up slang and acronyms much later, if they do this at all. I still can’t pick up idioms, not because I don’t like them but because I don’t need them as much as grammar.
The third category of people who guarantee us that proper grammar and spelling won’t fade away down the road is writers and readers. There will always be people who value literature, choosing novels over messengers and old-fashioned essays over apps. Whether old literature, modern fiction, or even dictionaries, this layer of culture practically guarantees the preservation of proper grammar for us. On the flip side, there are also writers who like to experiment with the language, writing without punctuation or compiling books from online chats. However, by and large, they represent only a minimal cluster of writers. In general, people write according to recognized standards of grammar and punctuation.
As a result, I don’t think we have to worry that grammar will disappear at some point, leaving us exposed to incomprehensible acronyms and emoji's sequences. Even though today we're using short messages, we still have to write formal emails to our bosses, communicate with our children’s teachers and speak clearly with our friends. You can say to your friend who’s chilling at your house, “LOL, have you seen this girl aka Ellen? Omg, she’s hot AF, a fucking dope.”, But in general, I think it's unlikely that this kind of communication will become a commonplace in the future. Even though we have room for simplified language in our culture today, it doesn’t mean that this kind of language will absorb all the others.

Tagebucheintrag 8.02.2023 - Weinen und Malen
TW: furchtbare Nachrichten
Drei Tage her ist noch einmal etwas furchtbar passiert. Zwei riesige Erdbeben in der Türkei und Syrien haben mehrere Städten zerstört. Ich habe gelesen, dass mehr als 16000 Personen gestorben sind. Diese offizielle Zahl ist sicherlich untertrieben, weil die Notdienste sind immer noch beschäftigt und die Lage noch total chaotisch ist. Außerdem ist es Winter und die Temperaturen sinken stark während der Nacht. Zusätzlich ist die Kommunikation schwer, denn diese Region ist nicht für ihre Demokratie und freie Presse bekannt.
Wenn man den Fernseher anschaut, die Radio hört oder die Zeitungen liest, kann man mit den viel zu vielen Geschichten überholt werden. Ich bin nicht direkt oder sogar indirekt betroffen, aber ich habe geweint und, wie immer nach solcher Nachrichten, habe ich mich beschlossen, dass es besser wütend als verzweifelt zu sein.
Die Weisen sagen, dass Wut ein gefährliches Gefühl ist, und dass es besser wäre, eine volle Akzeptanz zu erreichen. Man sollte nur an sich und seine Verwandte denken, wenn man hilflos und machtlos ist. Ist Wut wirklich und immer schlecht? Das ist meiner Meinung nach eine Wertedebatte. Derzeit folge ich aber die Lehre der Weisen.
Ich habe ein Porträt gemalt, um es einer Freundin zu schenken. Und obwohl ich gewöhnlicherweise für diese Art von Malerei sehr schlecht bin, habe ich dieses Mal geschafft! Na ja, ich heiße nicht Da Vinci, aber das Ergebnis ist kein Grund schamrot zu werden. Auf einer egoistische Aufsicht, bin ich an mir zufrieden. Ich wünsche allen den anderen Menschen dieselbe Glück.
