Sad Endings
Yesterday was a hard day because it was the last day of the school year. I already hope it would be hard, but not that hard. From now on the students of each class (there are two of them) will be placed by their choice. Basically, there are two paths in high school, so you have to choose one. The choice that most of my friends and I did will probably make us study in the afternoon, but two of them made a different choice. Although we won't see each other every day anymore I know we will meet often, so it didn't make me sad. What made me sad was to say goodbye to someone I was starting to build a relationship with., but at least I did ask her to hang with me so I know it wasn't an ending yet.
I'm not the crying type, but when one friend hugged me while she was crying, the strength of the hug made me want to cry - she will be in the class as me, but we were sad because of the others that won't .

Hi, Daniele, I saw someone have corrected your sentences, but all of your sentences are completely correct, so I want you to know that there are no mistakes with your sentences. The only thing that is wrong is that question mark and you should use a full stop there. My point in correcting is: as long as there are no grammar mistakes in one's sentence, we shouldn't correct them. Let me give you an example: your classmates write some sentences and they are completely correct because they are native English speakers and they have received a good education, but you can still correct their sentences with different expressions but with the same meaning. I often see some people doing this kind of job to some language learners. That is very harmful to those language learners because they will get very confused. They would think: oh, my sentences are wrong? Why? Where? But their sentences are actually correct. The correctors just say the same meaning in different ways. Maybe the original sentences are not perfect, but they are correct. From imperfect to perfect will take a lot of time and that is the writer's thing. And you know, often times, the correctors don't give detailed explanations about their corrections.

<서편제>를 본 후 생각
1960년대 판소리 소리꾼 세 명, 아버지와 그의 양딸 그리고 양아들의 이야기이다. 아버지는 인기가 떨어지지만 그들에게 판소리를 가르친다. 아들은 도망쳤고 딸은 아버지 곁에 있었다. 영화는 어른이 된 아들이 양누나를 찾는 것으로 시작한다. 플래시백을 통해 그들의 이야기가 전해진다.
솔직히 이 영화에 대한 리뷰를 어떻게 시작할지 모르겠어요. 진짜 명작이다. 이 영화는 나에게 가장 큰 감동을 준 영화 중 하나이다. 이 영화를 보니 끊임없이 흐르는 눈물을 진짜 주체할 수가 없었다. 마지막 장면 중 하나가 오랫동안 눈물이 그렁그렁했다.
연기부터 장면까지 이야기를 통해 모든 것이 너무 좋았다. 리듬은 느리고 장면과 실제 순간을 설정하는데 시간이 걸린다. 예를들면 진도아리랑을 부르며 걸어오는 장면의 롱테이크는 진짜 아름답다. 영화 속에는 감정들은 생동감 있고 결코 과장되지 않으며 항상 진짜 같은 느낌이다. 자식들 통해 대리생활을 하고 있는 아버지. 예술 위해 모든 것을 희생하는 딸. 자신의 삶을 살기 위해 도망치는 아들. 어찌 보면 <서편제> 자체가 판소리이다.
한처럼 슬픔과 아쉬움이 담긴 이야기이다. 고통과 슬픔을 통해서 가장 아름다운 것은 예술… 한이 무엇인지 알고 싶다면 좋은 영화라고 생각해요. 영화를 보면서 거의 본능적으로 한을 느낄 수 있고 확실히 내 감정을 압도했다. 추천할 만한 아름다운 영화.

Nienawidzę autobusów
Miałem wiele złych doświadczeń z autobusami. Czasami późnią się strasznie, innymi razami nie zatrzymają się a jeszcze innymi nawet nie rozumiem, gdzie wysiąść, bo nikt nie ogłasza nazwy przystanku. Zwykle myślę, że to lepiej nie jechać autobusem, gdy nie jestem w miejscu, które znam. Niestety często nie mam żadnej opcji, bo chyba miejsce, dokąd muszę jechać nie jest tak daleko, żebym musiał jechać pociągiem albo samolotem.
Ostatnio zostałem wygrany jako finalista w konkursie literackim i musiałem jeździć do Włoszech (mieszkam teraz we Francji), by uczestniczyć na ceremonię wręczenia nagród. Zdecydowałem jechać za granicę autobusem, bo pociąg był za drogi. Miałem wszystko planowane: najpierw pojechałbym autobusem do Włoszech, a potem miałem pociąg do miasta, do którego miałem bywać. Żeby przyjechać w czasie, zdecydowałem wyjechać w nocy. Bus był o jednej nocy, ale gdy przyjechałem do prystanku, otrzymałem wiadomość, gdzie napisali, że spóźnili się. Na stronie Flixbusa (tak się nazywa firma tego autobusa) mogłem sprawdzić, gdzie bus był i ilu czasu brakowało do przyjazdu. Pierwotnie było o dwiej (godzina spóźnienia), a potem o dwiej trzydzieści... potem o dwiej czterdzieści... w końcu było napisane o trzeciej. Ja czekałam, bo nie miałem żadnej opcji, ale było za chłodno i zostałem tam przez dwie godziny i pół. Bałem się, że dostałbym hipotermię.
W każdym razie sprawdam godzinę i jest trzecia. Bus już nie był. Na stronie internetowej było napisane, że przyjechałby o treciej, ale na mapie bus został w tym samym miejscu przez godzinę. Poczekałem dalej, ale sytuacja się nie zmieniła: bus nie przyjechał, ja byłem strasznie chłodno, według stronie bus musiał tam być, choć w mapie bus był godzina i pół odtąd. O trzeciej trzydzieści miałem tego wszystkiego dość i wróciłem do domu.
Godzina lub dwie spóźnienia nie było dla mnie problemem, ale miałem inny pociąg w poranku i gdy bus nie przyjechał, nigdy nie mógłby dojechać do stacji w czasie.
Według zasad konkursa nie mam prawa do żadnego nagroda, gdy nie jestem fizycznie tam. Czułem się zastresowany, chłodny i zdenerwowany, bo to nie normalne.
Tylko nauczyłem się, że nigdy nie pojadę autobusem, chyba że ma innego wybora. Postępnym razem pojadę pociągiem albo polecę samolotem

Meilleur(e) ami(e)
J'ai une meilleure amie. Elle avait des cheveux longs et blonde. Ses yeux sont très brillant et (...). Elle a toujours un sourire sur son visage quand elle parle avec les autres. Tout le monde l'aiment en raison de son sourire. Je parle avec elle chaque jour, je parlerai avec elle quand j'aurais le temps. Parfois, je ferai les devoirs avec elle après école. Ainsi, mes amis sont jaloux à moi car je suis toujours près d'elle. Ils me moquent que je amie ma amie et disent souvent qu'elle est ma petite copine et je les répondrait qu'elle est seulement ma amie, rien de plus. Cependant, ils ignorent ce que je disait. Elle est aussi très supportive quand je suis triste, ou stressé. Elle me supportera jusqu'à la fin, elle est comme ma famille. C'est très rare d'avoir une amie comme elle. Je la remercie pour ce qu'elle a fait pour moi. Si j'avais la chance, je la aiderai tout de suite sans réfléchir, je sais c'est stupide mais après tous, elle le mérite !

Jeju Island
Jeju Island where is the biggest island in Korea is very beautiful.
Because of beautiful scenery and delicious cuisine, not only Korean people, but also Chinese and Japanese people are like to visit the island.
Ten years ago, my college friends and I visited the island and traveled around the island by bicycle.
The distance around the island was more than 240 km.
For three days, we rode there, and it made me very tired by the over face.
But I could have many interesting memories.
The tangerines were more delicious during riding, I ate a Horse Meat Bulgoji very first time.
And the most impressing moment for me was when I saw shooting stars while I was riding my bike midnight.
If I have a chance again, I will go there to ride the bike once again.

Hi, my big brother, thank you very much for giving me that many corrections. I really appreciate them. Long time no chatting, how have you been? I still remember the first time that you talked with me in English, and I believe that is the first time that an American was willing to talk to me in English. I once joined your English writing group and you gave me a lot of corrections. That is also where my English writing started. Suddenly I remember a lot of things about you: you have been living in Hong Kong in the early 70 s, and you said even though your current health situation is not as good as before, you still live your life optimistically. "Fortunately, I am still alive". How optimistic a big brother you are! Although we don't talk with each other a lot, I still pay attention to all the English learning materials you have posted. As well, I have never stopped learning English, instead I even study harder. I have been considering you my role model and hope one day, I can still stay positive as you are when I am at your current age. In the end, let me thank you again. Thank you for all the help you have given me and I hope you and your family stay healthy and happy. Yours sincerely, younger brother, Jack.

Journal
On workdays, I don't feel tired, but every Saturday morning, I don't want to get up. Don't want to go out, don't have any plans, just lay down on my bed and don't feel hungry. So every morning on Saturday, I don't get up at regular time, don't have breakfast, just lay down on my bed and learn English. Until the time past twelve, I think I have to get up at that time. When I get up, I feel a little dizzy. I went out to find some food to eat. Afterwards, I still go back and lay down on my bed and learn some English. If I feel tired, I will sleep again. Every weekend, I spend time like this.

Yes, it is really a beautiful public landscape. Every intersection here in my city has this kind of public landscape and they are very delicate. The picture you see is not in its original size. I think it has been processed by the app because it has become vague. It's already been winter for about one month here and the daily average temperature range is about 0 to 14 degrees Celsius. It's already snowed in the northern part of China. As for where I live, I think snow will come around the end of this month. Please take good care of yourself and I hope everything is okay for you.

Etimología de paises hispanohablantes (primera parte)
Hoy voy a inciar una serie de publicaciones sobre la etimología de paises hispanohablantes. Voy a hacerla en varias partes, ya que hay muchos paises que tienen el español como lengua oficial. Me gusta la etimología. Me parece interesante conocer el origen de los nombres de lugares o de personas, así, pienso que podría practicar mi español produciendo contenido informativo para los lectores y correctores. Voy a empezar con los paises del continente americano, en orden alfabético. ¡Vamos!
¤ ARGENTINA = Del nombre latino de la plata, "argentum", ya que la plata es una de los recursos naturales más importantes del país. Los Europeanos se dieron cuenta de eso con los regalos de plata de las poblaciones indigenas.
¤ BOLIVIA = Del personaje histórico y hombre de estado venezolano Simón Bolívar, que contribuyó a la independencía de Bolivia. El nombre "Bolívar" en su mismo parece ser vasco, de "bolu" ("el molino") y "ibarr" ("ribera"), pues, es probable que le diesen ese nombre a familias que vivían al lado de una ribera.
¤ CHILE = Muchas teorías existen a proposito del origen de "Chile", pero la más probable está relacionada con una palabra quechua, "chiri", que significa "frío". Los Incas habría dado ese nombre a la parte más austral de su imperio. Una otra teoría atribuye el nombre a una palabra aimara, "chilli", que significará "donde la terra se acaba". Una tercera teoría menciona una onomatopeya de la lengua mapuche que exprime el canto del trile, un pájaro negro con alas amarillas que vive en América del Sur.
¤ COLOMBIA = El nombre fue naturalmente elegido en homenaje a Cristóbal Colón ("Cristoforo Colombo", en italiano). A contrario de la creencia popular, no fue el primer europeo que descubrió América, ¡ya que los Vikingos de Eric el Rojo establecieron pueblos en América del Norte algunos siglos antes que Colón naciese! Un "colombo" es una "paloma", en italiano, por tanto se puede imaginar que le ponían ese nombre a familias practicando la colombicultura.

Meine Aufenthalts im Ausland
Ich bin noch nie wegen Urlaub, mehr als einem Monat in einem Land geblieben. Das ist etwas, das mich begeistert, ein neues Leben in Deutschland anzufangen. Alles wird neu sein, neue Kultur, neue Leute, neues Wetter.
Ich lebe in einem tropischen Land von Südamerika, deshalb macht mich ein bisschen Angst, die Kälte auszuhalten. Aber ich kann nicht leugnen, dass es micht auch aufregt!

Le nouveau défi !
J'avais mes esprits ailleurs hier et j'ai oublié d'écrire un billet !
J'ai réflechi ce que j'allais faire, car je pensais que cela pouvait être une bonne occasion de changer mes habitudes sur ce site pendant ces derniers mois.
Comme beaucoup de personnes le font, je peux écrire des billets une fois tous les trois jours en ajoutant le nombre de la suite de publication en tête du titre. Mais je suis trop paresseuse pour le faire chaque fois. J'ai beau réfléchi, mais aucune bonne idée m'est venue.
Donc finalement, je me suis décidé de continuer comme avant en recommencant à zero. De nos jours rien de particulier ne m'arrive ce qui fait que rédiger des billets est difficile. Je reconnais qu'il y a des sujets à écrire sur ce site aussi, mais pour une raison quelconque quand on me donne un sujet mes doigts s'arrêtent comme si je perdais les mots. Je pense que je devrai essayer de trouver des sites web me conseillant les sujets d'écriture qui me conviennent.

Ich habe Angst vor Wölfe - eine Übersetzung
Ich habe Angst vor Wölfe
von Kieran Joseph Shay Costello
Opa sagt das die Wölfe nicht mehr hier sind. Sie sind weg und werden nicht zurückkehren, also die Angst hat keine Sinn. Ich glaube ihm nicht. Ich spreche darüber in der Schule und die Kinder lachen mir an.
"Wer hat das gesagt?" verhöhnen sie.
Ich spreche ihnen was Onkel Ben gesagt hat - dass der Fluss den Herde nicht zulasst, aber ein oder zwei überqueren immer noch, sie rumhängen auf die Straßen, riechen den Luft, drücken seine Flanken gegen die offene Türe. Ich sage ihn nicht das ich der Wolf gesehen habe - wie ich der Wolf fast jede Nacht sehe. Es ist einfach die Geschichten zu verspotten.
Aber es war keine Geschichte für mich. Es steht aus dem Korridorlicht auf, wie der Rauch, bis es auf sein Hinterbeine steht, knorrige Pföte und gezackte Kiefer bereit ins Fleisch zu landen. Es kratzt und zischt, atmet mörderische Wolken. Der Wolf wird nicht springen, nicht zuerst. Es bewegt nicht, einatmet der Angst, genießt der Frucht.
Ich wache mit blaue Flecke auf und der Arzt sagt wie ich die Albträume gehabt habe.
(Das Original auf Englisch habe ich zu Notizen hinzugefügt.)

Reihenfolge der Schließung des Videochattens
Heute habe ich über das oben genannte Thema mit meiner Eltern gesprochen. Laut ihnen muss ich immer daran bleibe, bevor der Mitsprecher das virtuelle Raum verlässt. Dadurch zeige man Respekt gegen den Gegenüber. Leider finde ich nicht so. Wenn man schon mit einander verabschiedet hat, kann man direkt das Chatraum verlassen ohne weiteres. Das mache ich immer und ich nehme auch nichts negatives an, wenn der Gegenüber so macht. Wie findet ihr? Spielt die Reihenfolge beim Verlassen eine wichtige Rolle?

Alien Life, Why not?
I always have thought that if can exist life in our planet, then why not could exist in others.
Watching diversity of life in Earth, life in other worlds will be even more different and odd. Provably, the first prove of life that we meet it will be in a microorganism form. It can be very funny but isn't nothing serious nor credible, to think in the aliens with a human form. If humanity last enough, is a matter of time, to find any form of alien life.
