Sono i film "oscuri" O.K. per i bambini?
Sono i film "oscuri" O.K. per i bambini?
Prima di rispondere alla domanda, ritengo che sia fondamentale addentrarsi nei particolari riguardo alle differenze fra i film oscuri e i film horror.
I film oscuri sono un connubio di orrore e arte. A differenza dei film horror, i registi dei film "oscuri" hanno più probabilità di scegliere quello che vogliono che sia mostrato nello grande schermo, poiché i copioni dei film oscuri non sono limitati alle proiezioni di sangue e intestini; al contrario, sono una mescolanza d'immagini profonde che stimolano l'individuo a vivisezionare la nostra società.
A mo' di esempio, vorrei citare un film oscuro che è stato di molta risonanza negli ultimi anni: Il Buco ("El Hoyo" in spagnolo). Benché il regista del film non si tiri indietro da esibire quanto sia abile nel concepire delle scene di orrore (ad esempio, i accoltellamenti o il cannibalismo), ci induce con destrezza a pensare del simbolismo della prigione che viene presentata nel film, il che contiene degli avvertimenti delle insidie del capitalismo. Da ciò si evince che i film oscuri contengono spesso un componente educativo, e per questo motivo a mio parere i film oscuri sono adeguati ai bambini, a patto che non contengano elementi visivi troppo grafici.
Ciò nonostante, riconosco che la maggior parte dei genitori non incoraggiano i propri figli a guardare i film oscuri, dal momento che si crucciano per il fatto che i figli possono (possano?) imitare gli atti di violenza compiti in tali film. Anche questo è comprensibile, visto le idee macabre che si promuovono nei social network oggigiorno, come l'auto immolazione.

여름에 바닷가에 가는 것
이번 주말에 토요일하고 일요일에 친구들이랑 해수욕장에 갔어요. 요즘 한국에서는 날씨가 엄청 더워서 바닷가에 가는 것을 저한테 좋은 생각이였어요. 사는 도시에 큰 해수욕장이 두 개 있어요. 해운대라는 해수욕장에서 햇빛이 너무 심하고 온도는 약 35이길래 파라솔을 빌렸어요. 친구들 중의 한 명 너무 피곤하느라고 수영하지 않았어요. 바다 안에 해조 많이 있는데 바다가 진짜 시원했어요 ㅎㅎ
저녁에 다른 해수욕장으로 지하철로 탔어요. 이번에는 광안리에서 갔어요. 지하철 타면서 파란색 티셔츠를 입는 사람들이 많이 있는 거 봤어요. 갑자기 토요일은 부산 나이트레이스 이였는 거 기억 났어요. 광안리에는 콘서트하고 드론쇼가 있었어요. 그러니까 사람들이 엄청 많이 있었다는 말이에요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 콘서트에 유명한 사람이 없는데 재미있는 노래들을 상연해서 신기했어요.
방학이 끝나기 전에 주말마다 바닷가 가볼 거예요~

添削してください！
いつものように厳しく添削してください。非ネイティブによって書かれていることが分かりやすい部分は、自分だったらどんな言い方をしたか教えてください！
つい最近またユーチューブを観るようになりました。多少は勉強になると思って、日本人のユーチューバーを観ることにしました。もともとゲームに興味がありましたから、自然にゲーマー系のユーチューバーや動画を観るようになりましたが、すぐにあることに気づきました。それは、ゲームがうまい人じゃなければ、観るのが私にとってつらいです。プレイしている人には気づきにくいけど観ている人には分かりやすいことはどんなゲームでも多少あると思います。でも、私は自分には明らかな何かを見逃しているから前へ進めない場面を観ていると。。。その時の気持ちは説明しづらいけどなんとなく観ていられないです（笑）。そんな自分ですが、昨日観た動画もまたそんな場面になりましたが、プレイしている人が分からな過ぎて一周回ってまた面白くなりました。なんか、進めることだけではなくて、プレイしている人がその進む方法を見つけていることの鑑賞のしかたがようやく分かった気がします。ちなみに、その人は何が分からなかったかというと、パドルと帆の使い方でした。いかだが進みたい方向に行くにはパドルや帆をどこに向ければいいか分からなかったです。３，４時間経ったところで、やっと試行錯誤で分かりましたけど。

The electricity this summer.
When it rains the electricity starts failling but at home we have a voltage regulator so it doesn't affect our electronic devices.
Yesterday when I was at my grandma's house, the electricity went down for a few minutes but after that, we had to wait until it all worked again.

Sprechen B1
Im Urlaub verreisen
Dieses Thema ist sehr interessant, denn jeder von uns verreist oft im Urlaub. Besonders wenn man genug Geld und Zeit dafür hat.
Meine eigenen Erfahrungen:
Wie jede Person reise ich ab und zu in Urlaub, wenn ich genug Geld und Zeit habe, aber nur noch in der nähe Städte, weil ich nicht viel Geld und Zeit habe, um nach Ausland fahren zu können.
Die Situation in meinem Heimatland:
Im meinem Heimatland verreisen oft die Leute im Urlaub im Sommer, weil es zu heiß ist. In einem armen Städte verreisen nicht so viel Leute im Urlaub, denn solche Reisen kostet so viel geld, die die armen Leute nicht haben.
Vor- und Nachteile:
Die Vorteile liegen darin, dass im Urlaub so wichtig für gesund verreisen, um Stress abbauen zu können. Man kann die Routine beseitigen und neue Menschen kennenlernen. Man kann auch Fremdsprachen lernen.
Als Nachteile finde ich, dass ein Urlaub viel kostet. In der Urlaubsorte gibt es of so viele Menschen, deshalb ist die Sauberheit schlecht un die Preise auch hoch.
Meiner Meinung nach ist, dass das Urlaub ab und zu sehr wichtig, wenn man rechtzeitig aussucht, und macht einen guten plan, um weniger Geld zu ausgeben.

C2 Übungssatz: Mobilität in der modernen Arbeitswelt
Sehr geehrte Redaktion der Süddeutschen Zeitung,
ich habe neulich ihre Artikelserie Um Thema „Mobilität in der modernen Arbeitswelt" gelesen und möchte mich dazu äußern.
Ich finde, Mobilität ist generell etwas gutes, wenn sie eine Möglichkeit für Arbeiter ist und etwas schlechtes, wenn sie Zwang ist. Dieses trifft auf etliche Zusammenhänge zu und wird im restlichen Brief von Bedeutung sein.
Zunächst einmal zu der Fakt, dass das regelmäßiges Pendeln zwischen zuhause und Arbeit ein riesiges Problem für Berufstätigen in Deutschland darstellt. Natürlich hat jedermann nur vierundzwanzig Stunden pro Tag, von dessen ungefähr acht mit Schlafen und acht mit der Arbeit aufgebraucht werden. Also ist klar, dass es belastend ist, eine weitere Stunde oder sogar mehr im Verkehr zu verbringen. Dieses verschlechtert natürlich die Lebensqualität.
Als nächstes möchte ich diskutieren, ob Mobilität „Menschen dazu zwingt, Althergebrachtes kritisch zu hinterfragen." So ein Thema lässt sich nicht einfach behandeln, da der Begriff „Mobilität" so generisch ist. Wenn man damit das tägliche Pendeln zur Arbeit (aus dem vorherigen Absatz) meint, dann doch. Das ist nur lästig. Wenn man eher das Wechseln der Arbeit meint, dann vielleicht bringt das tatsächlich Vorteil. Ich, zum Beispiel, arbeite als Programmierer und habe das regelmäßige
Wechseln der Arbeit schon erlebt. In dieser Branche zählt dieses Wechsel tatsächlich als etwas gutes, weil es normalerweise ein höheres Erhalt ergibt und zusätzlich eine Möglichkeit neue Fähigkeiten zu entwickeln beziehungsweise neue Technologien zu lernen. Andererseits erkenne ich, dass mein Feld in diesem Sinne zum Teil vom Norm abweicht. Wenn ein LKW-Fahrer oder Fabrikarbeiter von einem Roboter ersetzt wird, lassen sich neue Arbeitsstellen nicht so einfach finden, nichts zu sagen von besseren Arbeitsstellen.
Dieser Punkt führt souverän zum letzten Thema: Ob man beweglich sein muss, um nicht auf der Strecke zu bleiben? Dieses muss ich nach meinem Verständnis schlicht und einfach bejahen. Die Welt ändert sich immer schneller. Vor ein paar Generationen haben Menschen die gleiche Arbeit wie ihre Eltern gemacht. Vor ein oder zwei Generationen haben Menschen andere Arbeit als ihre Eltern gemacht, dabei im Regel die gleiche Arbeit das ganze Leben über. Jetzt befinden wir uns in einer Zeit, wo ein einziger Mensch in seinem Leben mehrere Jobs machen muss. Das ist zwar unangenehm, aber in der heutigen Gesellschaft unvermeidbar.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Caleb

"I giornali della scuola dovrebbero essere soggetti a revisi
"I giornali della scuola dovrebbero essere soggetti a revisioni precedenti?"
Nonostante l'uso attuale dei social network per diffondere le notizie, le istituzioni scolastiche continuano oggigiorno a finanziare la produzione dei giornali scolastici dai corpi studenteschi, in modo che gli studenti possano essere ragguagliati sugli eventi accaduti nel luogo che frequentano più spesso; cioè le scuole stesse. Ci tengo anche a precisare che tale tradizione sorte anche un effetto secondario: la promozione della lettura.
Al parere della maggioranza delle persone che vivono nei paesi democratici, la suddetta domanda potrebbe sembrare a loro una sciocchezza; in una certa misura, ne hanno ragione. La censura è qualcosa che ha messo, appena pochi decenni fa, la maggior parte del mondo in subbuglio quando la Seconda Guerra Mondiale ha devastato il continente europeo, riducendolo in una landa.
Perciò, sono propensi a considerare a buon diritto (anche se tale argomentazione sia un po' radicale), che se una persona è sottoposta alle pratiche controverse della censura negli propri anni di formazione, pian piano lo accetti come una norma della vita e a lungo andare è possibile che la decadenza della democrazia diventi una realtà, quando i suoi coetanei assumeranno le redini delle istituzioni giurisprudenziali ed educative, poiché la censura sarà parte della loro filosofia.
A dispetto di quel ragionamento, dobbiamo tenere in conto che nell'età scolastica, ciò che viene scritto potrebbe essere non adeguato alle pubblicazioni ufficiali. La maggior parte dei saggi studenteschi trattano dei temi puerili, ad esempio le cotte o le battute oscene. In questa ottica, devo ammettere che le revisioni precedenti sono purtroppo necessarie, pur di sincerarsi che il materiale pubblicato non macchino la reputazione delle scuole.

Климат России и Австралии
Я хочу посетить Россию, но я предпочитаю погоду в Австралии, где я родилась. Климат в России континентальный с длинной, cнежной зимой и коротким, тёплым летом.
В Австралии погода теплее, чем в России. Там лето очень жаркое. Зима не очень холодная и снег бывает редко.
По-моему, снег красивый и я хотела бы посмотреть белые ночи, но мне не нравится холодная погода, поэтому я рада, что я живу в Австралии.

Une ville secrète
Nous sommes à une ville secrète. C’est petit. Il y a une bibliothèque grande avec de numèriques livres. Les livres sont jeunes. Il y a un parc avec vingt arbres verts. C’est un petit lac et deux chevaux dans le parc. Il y a une gare, mais il n’y a pas en des trains. Nous cherchons une voie de la ville, mais sommes captives. Nous adorons les ponts gris et les bâtiments marron. Pourquoi sommos-nous ici? Je ne connaîs pas. C’est un hôtel à la ville. C’est clos, nous dormir en les trottoirs. C’est un marché en la ville. Les femmes vendent des haricots, des légumes et des pommes de terre. Nous n‘avons pas la monnaie. Nous allons faim. Est-ce que nous-sommos en la ville secrète? Quant nous-allons chez?

Feedback from Japanese instructor
Twice a month, I teach the Japanese language to the foreigners coming to work in our city. They are hardworking because they must send money to their parents in their countries located in Southeast Asia.
Today, different from usual, a professional Japanese instructor looked around our lesson and gave us feedback. This opportunity was precious since none of us had learned how to teach Japanese to foreigners.
One of the feedback I can remember is to use polite Japanese, not a casual one. The reason is that some Japanese could feel offended when they hear foreigners use informal Japanese. She also added we, Japanese instructors, should explain using the です/ます form.
At the end of the feedback, she introduced us to some books which will help teach Japanese.

Bien et le mal
J'en crois que personne né "mal" ou "bien"; c'est notre environment, notre experience et des gens dans notre vie qui nous forment. En plus je suis l'avis que nous ne pouvons pas dire que quelqu'un est "mal" ou "bien". Humains sont complexes tout le monde a des raisons pour qu'ils font ce qu'ils font. Dans quelques jours une personne pour être plus gentil que d'habitude et vice versa. Enfin je veux aussi dire que chaque personne est capable de grand mal et bien.

Una carta para mi prima favorita
Escribe una carta a tu prima, contándole lo que sucedió en un evento especial de la familia.
Hola Angela:
Espero que te vaya bien. Estoy escribiéndote esta carta para decirte sobre un gran suceso que pasé ayer, con toda de nuestra familia: ¡mi fiesta de cumpleaños de dieciocho!

Pero, ser honesta, creo que comía demasiada, porque me duele el estómago, y no puedo levantarme. No ha abierto ningunas regalos, esto hecho me hace triste, pero estoy emocionada para mejorarme.
¿Cómo es el campo? Te extraño mucho, deseo que no hagas muchas problemas.

Sakit perut
Sejak hari Senin minggu ini aku sakit perut. Ini bukan karena aku terkena penyakit menular, tapi karena perutku sesekali menjadi mudah diiritasi oleh makanan. Aku sedang meminum obat untuk mengobati sakitnya, tapi itu masih belum hilang. Aku selalu kecewa kapan pun aku sakit perut, bukan hanya karena itu menyakitkan, tapi juga karena aku tidak bisa memakan makanan pedas favoritku. Sampai sekarang, aku memutuskan untuk tidak pergi ke dokter karena sakit tidak terlalu parah dan aku mungkin harus menunggu saja sampai perutku sembuh.
Aku pernah mendengar sakit perut terkadang disebabkan oleh stres. Aku tidak yakin apakah itu memang benar, tapi pekerjaanku akhir-akhir ini membuatku sedikit frustrasi. Aku mengira aku lebih baik terus meminum obat, memakan makanan hambar, dan mencoba bersantai saja. Mudah-mudahan sakit perut ini akan hilang secepatnya!
Makasih banyak sudah membaca ini! Ada terjemahan bahasa Inggris di bagian Notes/Catatan!

Life is Strange Prologue
The ferocious thunderstorm violently played between the air and the earth,the sky and the forest.A girl in black with hair in the same color silently lay on the dark and moist ground among trees,whose name was Max Caufield,kissing the ground intimately."Where am I?What's happening?I'm trapped in a storm?How did I get here?...and where is ‘here’?Wait,there's the light house...I'be safe if I can make it there...I hope...Please let me make it there..."The little girl woke up,picked herself up to feet, stretched out her hands in defence of the hard,rough wind,and started her trudge heading towards that light house.She exploited all her vigor in spite of the heavy,soaked shirt,with her hair dripping to the neck,down the whole body.As she was standing on the sea cliff,"what's happening”automatically unveiled itself to this innocent girl."Holy shit."she heaved a sigh of horror upon seeing this beautiful,significant,but terrible scenery.A huge tornado rotated itself above the sea,absorbing,and cruelly tearing up everything that was around.All of a sudden,the wreckage of a yacht hit the light house,and its top partf broke,falling down towards where Max was standing."Whoa,no!"
"Whoa!"screamed she,but what followed wasn't death.She was quietly sitting in the classroom,and Mr.Jeferson was conveying his lecture."Alfred Hitchcock famously called the film 'little pieces of time' but he could be talking..."On the table were her crap selfie,that out-of-date pencil case,the confidential journal,and-that giant old-looking camera.She came to herself.Blackwell academy,which she entered for her grand photograph cause,was just in the small town Arcadia Bay where she had lived 5 years ago,along with her ex-BFF Chloe Price.Luckily,her parents needn't pay any price for Blackwell for her distinguished grade which attained full scholarship.
Not knowing what to do,Max just took a picture,which attracted the attention of Mr.Jefferson."Now Max,since you've captured our interest and clearly want to join the conversation,can you please tell us the name of process that gave birth to the first self-portraits?""You're asking me?Let me think...Um..."blank,nervous,with sweat unconsciouly rolling down her forehead,Max was baffled."You either know this or not,Max. "Apparent annoyance clouded on the teacher’s face,urging him to tap the table.” Is there anybody here who knows their stuff?"”Louis Daguerre was a French painter who created'daguerreotypes'a process that gave portraits a sharp reflective style,like a mirror.(Now you're totally stuck in the Retro Zone.Sad face.)"Max was kind of astonished that the very bitch,Victoria,who regarded Blackwell her own fashion show,had talent in photograph and was exceedingly good at those complex French words at least to the boneheads,like Max.Her mind kept wandering around in the rest of the class until the bell rang."Huh."After dealing with the hard contest entry,Max was going to the bathroom to splash water on her face and make sure she didn't look like a total loser.The sombre and leisure song American Girls being played by the earphone temporarily took the little Max to another world,in which her peers’ laughter,the bullying obtaining in the school,and loadfuls of homework could all be shielded.
Having refreshened herself with colder water,she soliloquized.”Just relax.Stop torturing yourself.You have ‘a gift’…… Fuck it.”The poor selfie simply became the sacrifice of her rage.All at once a tiny flipping blue-winged butterfly caught her attention.”When a door closes,a window opens...”She took out her camera and took a picture of the butterfly when it rested on the edge of a bucket.And a boy got in,uttering something weird,”It’s cool,Nathan...Don’t stress…You’re okay,bro.Just count to three…Don’t be scared…You own this school…If I wanted,Icould blow it up…You’re the Boss…”A blue-haired punk girl followed in.
”So what you want?”
”I hope you checked the perimeter,as my step-ass would say.Now,let’s talk bidness-“
“I got nothing for you.”
”Wrong.You got hella cash.”
“That’s my family,not me.”
“Oh boo hoo,poor little rich kid.I know you been pumpin’ drugs n’ shit to kids around here…I bet your respectable family would help me out if I went to them.Man,I can see the headlines now-”
“Leave them out of this,bitch.”
“I can tell everybody Nathan Prescott is a punk ass who begs like a little girl and talks to himself-“the girl pushed the boy,threntening him by words.
“You don’t know who the fuck I am or who you’re messing around with!”the guy suddenly took out a gun from his waist,and the situation just overturned in a flash.His arm surrounded her and pressed against the wall.
“Where’d you get that?What are you doing?Come on,put that thing down!”the extreme fright of the silver cold-blooded killer in his hand was clearly on the girl’s face,while she couldn’t find a way to shake off.
“Don’t EVER tell me what to do.I’m so SICK of people trying to control me!”The boy roared,his rage on fire.
“You are going to get in hella more trouble for this than drugs-“
“Nobody would ever even miss your”punk ass”would they?”the boy humuliated the girl back.
“Get that gun away from me,psycho!”just before she could utter another word,as the boy was being pushed away from her,the bullet slipped out,right in her belly,leaving a horrific bloodhole.
“NO!”Max who was hidden in the corner shouted instinctively.Everything was clear at that moment.She could see the girl fall down onto the floor,that fucking gun drop out of the angry killer’s hand and thump with coldness.The world was anyhow dark,for the dim light waiting to be repaired,and the blue-haired girl’s eyes still contained that horror.Maybe the darkness behind Blackwell which enjoys good reputation all over the world had just tore a little hole ,before her.
“Whoa!What the fuck…?How?How can that be?”Somehow it was here again,Max,to whom has played a realistic murder plot by those two guys,was again sitting in the classroom.Badly horrified,her eyes turned red,tears uncontrolably running down her freckled face.”I was in the bathroom…He shot that poor girl…I held up my hand…and then I was back here.”she pondered.”Oh,shit!”mistakenly her elbow touched that ancient camera,and smashed it into broken pieces.”Okay,if I’m crazy,I might as well go all the way…Can I actually reverse time?”she held out her right hand again,and the broken pieces incredibly went back into a undamaged camera.”I did it!I actually did it!I’m a human time machine.”Max took a selfie of her for another time,thinking she might get out of the classroom and save that girl.”I’m sorry but I really have to use the bathroom.””Nice try,Max.But you’re not going to get away that easy.We can talk more after class.”She had no choice but to rewind again and copy Victoria’s perfect answer.”The Daguerreian Process.Invented by a French painter named… Louis Daguerre.Around 1830.””Somebody has been reading as well as posing.Nice work,Max.”This time,Mr.Jefferson beamed a smile at her,and her rival,Victoria glared.The bell rang at the same time,and Max was rushing to the bathroom.As she took that photo,everything went totally the same.”Don’t EVER tell me what to do…”Max moved the cleaning cart,took a hammer and did the fre bell in the corner.As the fire alarm rang,the girl quickly kicked on the boy’s balls ,”Don’t ever touch me again,freak!”,and left.”The boy took a glimpse of the shreded photo,whispered”Another shitty day”and got out.
“That did not happen!This cannot be real!I just saw a girl get shot and then saved her!What the fuck is going on?Do.Not.Freak.Out.”Yep,that’s real,you can indeed save others’life with your super power.Now everyday hero Max is on fire!
