Les choses difficiles

Hier, j'ai appris que j'ai réussi l'examen de pneumologie. J'étais très heureuse et soulagée. C'était un examen dificile, mais pas aussi dificile que d'apprendre le français.

Bon voyage

Récemment j'achète des souvenir pour mes amis au Japon. Avec mon visage asiatique, mon accent japonais en français et beaucoup souvenirs à la main, il n'est pas difficile de deviner que je suis quelqu'un qui est en train de faire des achats pour rentrer au Japon que je vive ici ou non. Je me suis rendu compte qu'ils disaient une phrase après toutes les démarches, et c'est « bon voyage ! »

Aujourd'hui, je me suis rendue dans un laboratoire qui effectue le test PCR. J'ai été testée négatif, donc j'ai apporté le document demandé par le gouvernement japonais, pour que les personnes à l'accueil puissent le remplir.

Quand j'y suis arrivée, une receptioniste avait l'air vraiment fatiguée. J'ai essayé de lui poser quelques questions pour m'assurer, en vain. Embêtée, elle m'a dit qu'elle ne répondrait à aucune question de ma part car elle avait beaucoup travaillé aujourd'hui. Son attitude m'a frappée de stupeur, mais aussi m'a appris la différence culturelle.

Après avoir reçu le document dont j'avais besoin, je l'ai remercie en en partant, et elle m'a sourie en disant la phrase « bon voyage ! ». Pour les Français, cette salutation pour les voyageurs devrait être très courante. Cependant, je ne peux pas lier la personne qui a refusé de répondre à mes questions et celle qui m'a salué avec un grand sourire.

Au Japon, les vendeurs et les réceptionistes sont toujours souriants, quelle que soit la situaton. Il arrive rarement qu'ils sont de mauvaise humeur. Par conséquent, il est difficile de savoir si cette sourire est vrai ou faux. On ne peut pas vraiment voir leurs vrais sentiments et leurs arrière-pensées. En France, alors qu'il y a beaucoup de personnes travaillant comme les japonais en moyenne, il y a aussi beaucoup de vendeurs dont leurs sentiments trahissent. En soupirant, en criant, en s'accoudant, elles présentent ce qu'ils ressentent sans essayer de jouer un rôle de vondeur.

Bien sûr que ce n'est pas pratique. Je voulais les réponses à mes questions tout de suite . Mais en même temps, je ressens du soulagement quelque part dans mon cœur, parce que j'ai l'impression que ces personnes-là incarnent l'idée que on n'a pas besoin de bien se comporter.

No worries and take it easy. I just saw TedTalk where a polyglot says that if you want to learn a language well, you must find enjoyment in your learning process. I agree with her. Learning languages is boring, but I find it a lot of fun when I learn it and that is why I keep learning so far. Not for fame or profit, just for fun. So try to find enjoyment in your Mandarin learning, then you will do better.

The Speed Limit

The speed limit this year on streets with one lane, went down to 20 Km/h in all Spanish cities. The cars easily can be avanced by the bikes. Some nervious drivers are stoping when the trafic light is red, for to speed up when the light change to green, all for nothing, because they must to go back to 20 km/h again.

a Son

I took my niece to the neighborhood square tonight. We were playing in the slide. A girl said that my niece looked like a baby boy. I told her that she made a mistake. She then told me that she also had a baby sister. I asked her age, and she told me she was 5.5 years old. After soon, her grandma showed up with her sister, who was about nine months old. Minutes later, I saw a couple talking with the girl and asked her to go home. Her mother was pregnant, maybe five months? I think they wanted a son, which they needed much. Why? Because of the ugly tradition.

Jour 27 : J'ai réussi l'examen B2 !

J'ai enfin reçu le résultat de DELF qui avait passé le 17 novembre. Je suis très heureuse de savoir que je l'ai réussi même si les notes ne sont pas si bonnes que j'avais prévu pour les deux parties de compréhension. Cependant, j'ai eu 19/25 pour la partie de production écrite. C'est grâce à tous qui m'aidaient en corrigeant mes productions sur LangCorrect ! Merci bien !

Je me souviens combien de matins que je me réveillais à 5h30 uniquement pour finir un ou deux exercices de compréhension de l'oral et de l’écrit avant d'aller à l'école. Même si j'étais fatiguée après le cours de la journée, je n'abandonnais pas de faire un exercise d'écrit un jour sur deux. Sur la route, pendant la pause de déjeuner...... j'utilisais ces petits moments pour entraîner mes oreilles. Ça a l'air stressant mais en fait, je me suis profité bien parce que j'étais en train de faire quelque chose passionante !

J'aime le style de vie français (si je l'ai décodé bien) qui me donne l'air de je-m'en-fiche et même d'être un peu froid. On ne donne son attention qu’aux ceux qui se construisent des liens, mais pas à n'importe qui.

En apprenant une langue, j'ai aussi découvert son culture et c'est ça que j'aime bien. L’examen me servit comme un encouragement solide mais je sais qu’il y a encore un grand pas pour avancer.

Participer à un débat

Depuis plusieus années en Farnce, de nombereux jeunes diplômés ne trouvent pas d'emploi malgré leurs diplômes. Parfois, ils ont été reprorché d'être «trop diplômés». La question : faut-il songer à une réforme pour rerndre les études plus concrètes et plus courtes ?

À mon avis, il ne faut pas songer à une réforme. Je vais vous expliquer pourquoi.

D'abord, les études sont déjà assez concrètes pour les jeunes. Il y a des différents niveaux dans les différents sujets, pour que les jeunes puissent suivre les courses à leur rythme.

Deuxièmement, les études aujourd'hui sont assez concrète, si on rendre les études plus concrètes, les jeunes et les élèves n'auront pas trop de connaissance sur les études de leurs sujets globalement. Apprendre est une action qui exige le temps, on ne peut pas connaître ou apprendre quelque chose brusquement. Cela nous mène à la deuxième partie de cette question : faut-il rendre les études plus courtes ?

Si on rendre les études plus courtes, les jeunes diplômés n'auront pas assez de connaissance de travailler. L'apprentissage constitue une partie importante d'un processus pour les étudiants de mieux connaître et découvrir leurs talents. Si on a plus de temps, on pourrait avoir plus de connaissance.

En conclusion, rendre les études plus concrètes ne peuvent pas permettre les jeunes d'apprendre et connaître globalement. Le temps est aussi très important pour les jeunes d'avoir assez d'expérience de travailler dans leurs vies. Ainsi, il ne faut pas songer à une réforme.

A Discussion About Spoken English

At this point, I think David is right. English is just English, just as Chinese is just Chinese, and there is no spoken Chinese or oral Chinese because every language includes four sections: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The reason why there is spoken English, I think, is closely related to the actual situation of English learning in China. Everybody knows, in China, students learning English are just for passing exams. Speaking English is never their goal. They don't need to speak, they only need to learn vocabulary, grammar, comprehension and writing, and these are enough. So there is also a Chinese saying that is called Dumb English, which means all Chinese students can't speak English even though they can get high scores in their English tests. But now, more and more people realize the importance of speaking English because the use of languages is to communicate. If you can not speak a language, how can you say you know that language? Therefore, many Chinese want to learn how to speak English, but what should they say to express themselves? Just by saying I want to learn English? That is definitely not what they are trying to say, so they have to say I want to learn spoken English. They want others to know that they only want to learn how to speak English, not as the traditional English learning form in China, only focus on passing exams and without any ability to speak.

New Year's Sunerise

When a new year comes around, people usually see the sunrise while praying new wishes.

I also go to a hill near my house to take pictures of the sunrise.

But I do this on the winter solstice.

After the winter solstice, daytime becomes longer than before.

So the day's sunrise is the real means of new year, I think.

Other reason is that, sunrise time is the latest of a year.

I don't need to hurry to go to the hill and see the mountain.

And the last reason is that there is easy to take a location to take pictures.

On new year's day, there are many people who want to see and to take pictures of the sunrise.

It is very hard to concentrate the sunrise only.

One week later, it is the day of winter solstice.

I look forward to see the new sunrise that day.

自己紹介が下手な私

初めまして、ディアナと言います!イタリア人で自己紹介をするのはくそ下手です。

こどもの頃からアジア文化と特に日本文化に興味がずっと持っていたから、大学で日本語の勉強を始めることにしました。日本語だけじゃなくて、文化、歴史、経済、法律も勉強して、卒業論文のテーマは改正少年法でしたw
もちろん日本は好きになったきかっけは漫画とアニメでしたが、今映画史と文学に興味もあります。好きな漫画は「鋼の錬金術師」と「モブサイコ100」とういう漫画で、好きな作家は沙也加村田と安部 公房です。(今安倍の「箱男」を読み中、すごく難しい!)
いくら日本語を勉強してもまだすごく苦手と思います。特に書く力は低いだから、力を伸ばすために毎週何かを書いてみたいです。
日本文化以外他の興味も持っている。料理、絵描、写真のことも好きです。
最後に私…普通のOLです_(:3 」∠)_
以上ですw

I read an article online about monkey today. In the article, I looked at the monkeys in a hot spring in Hokkaido. They looked very comfortable. There is a very famous hot spring in Nagano that monkeys are bathing. I wonder if they aren't cold when they get out of the hot springs?

这个周末要搬家

这个周末我会搬家。九点一半星期六我去拿钥匙,然后我的室友和她的家具就到了。她已经有的家具不少,所以她租工作员帮她搬家。下天我爸爸来我的家帮帮我。我没有家具,所以一辆大车和我和爸爸够了。

那天之前需要安排电,水,网等等,否则我们住在黑冷的家。而且这我几天打算收拾好还有扔不要的东西,让星期天比较顺利。

Thank you very much Sabine for teaching me. It's tough work because you need to write a very long paragraph with too many words.
I know what you were trying to let me know, and that is also what I want to master as soon as possible, but it's not an overnight thing. As you know, the whole life, entire life and lifetime have almost the same meaning, but I don't know the nuance between them yet. Not only these three phrases, but many synonyms that I can't tell the nuance between them. To be concise in writing is relatively easy, but to be more accurate is very hard because it requires you to have a huge vocabulary pool and know each of them very clearly so you can use them accurately. I know this is a long journey to go, especially for nonnative speakers. In short, all the vocabulary, the grammar rules and the members of sentences that I know, I just know them in general, not in detail. Fortunately, I never want to give up. Instead, I will stick to it forever as a hobby for the rest of my life.
Thank you for helping me all the way along. I think I will do well in learning English and won't let you down.

せんせい

Lan 先生は高校時代の担任教師の先生です。Lan先生は私わたちの英語の先生です。彼女はアメリカに留学しただけに英語がうまいね。彼女はきれいです。それに彼女は親切です。Lanせんせいは、自分の美しい卵形の顔に非常に誇りを持っていた。彼女は小さな体型と短い髪をしています。Lan先生はいつも厳しいことばかりいっているが、あれでとても優しいときもあるんです。先生せんせいは学生のためを思ってきびしくしつけようとしたのでしょうが、私たちにしたら自分がきらわれていると思いこんでしまったのです。しかし、そんな考えは間違っていたと気づいた。いままで、先生が難しい宿題を出したり、私たちを叱ったりするのは自分の学生がちゃんと勉強して良くなったり、とても難しいことを解決できるようになるためだとわかった。Lan 先生の厳しい批評によって私が進歩しんぽになった。私はときどきLan先生とフェイスブックでメッセージを交かんしました。Lan先生にまた会えるのを楽しみにしています

Monday morning sick

That usually happy to a person who is working 9-5.

Even now my working schedule is not like that.

But after 2 rest day and the first day come back to work.

I also have that same sickness feeling.

However, I also come up a good habit which can help reduce that stress.

The night before you go to work again.

I will take 10-15 minutes preparation for tomorrow.

Like double check my bag, tidy up the clothes…

Once when I get up, I don’t need to think too much.

Maybe you also doing the same preparation too.

A Reply.

Hello Allan:
Thank you Allan for giving me this reply after our class.
I think I have experienced an amazing class from you. You are very kind and friendly, and you are also very patient. You speak slowly and clearly, so I can understand you very well.
The problems in my English learning at present are the following: tense is the difficult part because often times I don't know what tense I should use. Singular and plural are the other difficult parts because there are still many nouns that I don't know if are countable. The last one is that I still don't know much about the part of speech for many vocabulary words, so I can't make sentences at will.
Anyway, it's really nice to learn from you and I feel I am very honored.

Sincerely
Your student, Jack Liu.

Question

I enjoyed hearing you talk about books, Journey to the West, and your studies.
Question
In this sentence, can I change "talk" to "talked"? I am wondering that "enjoyed" is past tense, but why is "talk" in present simple tense?

About Music and School

Music is a compulsory subject in some schools. On the other hand, some schools do not prefer to include music classes in their academic curriculum. In this short essay, I am going to write about some aspects to consider in this matter.

First, there is a common belief about how music or learning to play an instrument could improve many cognitive aspects in individuals. A person with different skills or interdisciplinary qualities could be more competitive and able to think outside -the box and develop their creativity. Just to make an example, Einstein played the violin and claimed that this instrument helped him to think. There are even some academic papers and research that support theories of this kind. Not to mention that an early music discovery could be the trigger that a future musician needs to become a marvelous artist. Popular singers, like Beyonce, started their music career at a very young age.

However, there are some cons to including a compulsory music course. First, some children may not really be interested, to the point of feeling it like a waste of time, in comparison with some other more “important” subjects like mathematics, natural science, or sports. Music as a requirement could be a double-edged sword if they feel it as an academic burden.

In conclusion, there are advantages and disadvantages to including music compulsory classes. Maybe the wisest decision could be to let students explore music in their study plan. Of course, a successful music program needs good teachers and resources. A bad instructor or do not have enough instruments for all could increase the failure of any initiative.
