I have never been to Starbucks. Luckincoffee is right on the first floor under my department and I remember when I first bought their coffee, they only charged me for seven RMB. I felt delighted secretly because that’s really a bargain. After a period of time, I went to it again. Unfortunately, this time I never saw any products at that price. The cheapest one was still over fifteen RMB. I would feel embarrassed if I left without buying it. Finally, I grabbed the cheapest one. So far I have been wondering what happened with that. Of course, I never went there again.

I encountered a small setback today when I made bread. I wanted to use a method that I have never used before. Before I opened the oven, everything went well. When I opened the oven, I didn't expect the steam inside the oven to be so hot. My hand was scalded and the dough in my hand fell off. The whole afternoon work was wasted. I didn't want to waste this dough, so I picked this dough from the ground and put it into the oven. But I forgot the time again. When I opened the oven, the bread was overheated. This disappointed me. I cut a small piece and tasted it. Fortunately, it was not so serious. It was still soft inside. In summary, the experience today has not been in vain. So don't forget the steam inside the oven next time.

Sveriges kommuner
Det finns en serie av artiklar om Sveriges kommuner som jag vill tipsa om. Artiklarna blandar fakta och roliga bitar på ett balanserat sätt. Till exempel, man får veta några siffror om kommunen och lite historia, men då kan artikeln också bjuda på löjliga blocketannonser och kändisar eller typ "kändisar" som kommer från området. Serien finns på reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/SverigesKommuner/new/ och har gått igenom 31 kommuner hittills. Eftersom det är reddit så finns det också gott om kommentarer från folk som bor eller bodde i kommunerna. Värmt rekommenderat!

From your photos, I saw pizza, pasta, salad and something else that I don't know. When I first ate pizza, I didn't know how to use knives and forks. A young couple taught me, but I still couldn't get used to it. I asked the shop owner to give me a pair of chopsticks. I ate pasta once. I remember it was not warm and a bit sour. I don't think it tasted good.

September 7 rally in Brasilia
On September 7, day of Brazil's Independence, a Bolsonaro supporters rally took place in front of Brazilian seat of government in Brasilia. The demonstrators intended to showcase that Bolsonaro still have the support of a considerable part of the population.
It is hard to state if the rally was a success or not, since the turnout was not revealed. On the one hand, people who oppose Bolsonaro say that as little as 5% of the people who are expected show up, and that the rally was a failure. On the other hand, his supporters say that the rally was crowded and that it was a success.
What can be stated at the moment is that currently Bolsonaro's popularity is in steep decline. Either if the rally was a success or a failure, he will need more than that to regain his popularity and try reelection next year.

El próximo fin de semana
Este fin de semana que viene, vamos al bautismo de mi sobrina. El viaje a Massachusetts tardará ocho horas más o menos, y planeamos irnos después del trabajo el viernes. Estoy un poco molesta porque mi cumpleaños es el sábado y no quería viajar en todo el finde. Sin embargo, estoy emocionada de ver a muchos parientes que no he visto desde el comienzo de la pandemia.

Soll ich etwas meine Nachbarin sagen?
Liebe Frau Edelgart,
ich schreibe Ihnen, weil ich in einer schwierigen Situation bin. Vorgestern habe ich den Sohn meiner Nachbarin im Supermarkt beobachtet und natürlich begrüßt. Als ich ihn wieder in einem Supermarktgang getroffen habe, hat er mich nicht gesehen. Aber ich habe ihn gesehen... und habe bemerkt, dass er eine Packung Kaugummi in seine Hosentasche gesteckt ist. Danach hat er das Supermarkt verlassen, ohne die Packung zu bezahlen. Ich konnte das nicht aushalten und habe den Jungen angeruft, um mit ihm zu sprechen. Er hat mir versprochen, das nie wieder zu tun, aber hat nicht den Kaugummi zurückgegeben.
Er ist nicht mein Sohn. Deshalb bin ich unsichern, ob ich mit meiner Nachbarin reden soll. Sie ist eine Bekannte von mir, keine Freundin, deswegen haben wir einander nicht viel Vertrauen.
Sollte ich sie sagen, was passiert ist?

英翻汉作业
今天翻译的英文句子如下，也会放母语版，如果句子让我用具体词我会把它放在右边。
一：他不但没有负责自己的错误，反而责怪别人不负责人。
二：道别时，我强咽下眼泪着给爸爸说再见。
三：你是一个非常能干的家庭妇女！你总是把房子井井有条。
四：一方面，我愿意赚更多钱，另一方面，我感觉不想加班取得它。
五：今人担心的是，工资很低、社会地位也不高的原因就使老师改行，在小学和中学造成了更重的老师短缺。（今人...的是）
六：历来，为人民解决住房和就业的问题一直市政府的关注之一。虽然政府近年来一边改变了住房政策，一边盖了很多经济适用房，但人民一直上升的住房要求并没有由政府满足。（历来、但...并没有...）
我觉得大部分句子的英文版看起来很奇怪，尤其是第一句的后半和第六句，所以中文版也可以看起来有点别扭。

Sturm mit Regen am Sonntagnachmittag
Als ich heute im Restaurant war, gab es einen sehr starken Sturm mit Regen, der viele Bäume gefallen hat, viele Leute hatten Angst vor der Kraft des Windes und die kleinen Kinder haben viel geweint.
Wir waren einige Stunden ohne Strom und Internet.
Am Freitagnachmittag gab es in einem anderen Teil des Bundesstaates in einer ländlichen Gegend einen sehr starken Sturm, der sich mit einem Waldbrand verband, bei dem Menschen, die bei der Brandbekämpfung arbeiteten, und auch einige Tiere ums Leben kamen.

Min første journalpost
Hej allesammen! Jeg hedder Karissa, og jeg er treogtyve år. Jeg kommer fra USA, og jeg bor sammen med min kæreste i en by, der er meget tæt på Canada. Jeg har en orange tabby kat, der hedder Tiger. Jeg kan godt lide fotografering, natur, musik og at skrive historier.
Jeg lærte lidt dansk da jeg var lille, men jeg begyndte for alvor at studere sproget da jeg var fjorten år. Jeg har altid elsket sproget. Jeg så danske film med undertekster, så mange videoer på YouTube, læste bøger og skrev hver eneste lille ting ned. Og jeg fik endda venner fra Danmark. Jeg studerede meget og blev god til det. Men desværre stoppede jeg på grund af depression, så jeg mistede meget af sproget. Men jeg er fast besluttet på at få det tilbage. Jeg håber, at jeg en dag kan besøge Danmark.

Le rire
L'autre jour quand je parlais avec ma partenaire d'échange de langue, on est tombés sur le sujet de Soseki Natsume, un grand exrivain japonais qui était actif aux alentours de 1910. Il a laissé nombreuses œuvres célàbres, donc il y a des incipits très connus parmi les Japonais. Par exemple, dans son livre intitulé « Je suis un chat (wagahai-ha-neko-dearu) » les phrases du début « Je suis un chat, je n'ai pas encore de nom » sont très connues, et les Japonais citent souvent ces extraits pour raconter des blagues.
Après qu'on en a parlé, ma partenaire a dit qu'en France aussi il y a des incipits qui les Français utilisent pour plaisanter car tout le monde en connaissent. Elle m'a appri un livre intitulé « L'Étranger » d'Albert Camus, dont les incipits sont « Aujourd'hui, maman est morte. Ou peut-être hier, je ne sais pas », et qu'il y avait beaucoup de Français qui employaient ces phrases, parfois en les modifiant un peu, par plaisanteries.
Les mêmes phénomènes devraient arriver dans le monde entier : on joue avec les incipits des grandes œuvres. Cela peut se faire car il y a des consentements tacites que la plupart de gens conaissent ces phrases, donc on peut les utiliser comme blagues. Le rire est quelque chose qui s'appuye sur des connaissances ou des idées partagés, car les blagues qui sont décalés du sens communs ont tendance à faire rire.
À propos, j'ai décidé de lire « L'Étranger » parce que je voudrais assimiler les incipits afin de rire avec d'autres sur des blagues qui les emploient.

時の流れは
今日は時の流れについて話したいです。
私は最近32歳になりました。まだ中々若くても、今年ある体得を気づきました。時がとても早く過ごしますね。1月の末ぐらい、5年間の恋愛関係が終わってしました。それ以来9ヶ月が過ごすのは信じられません。もちろん、コロナなので生活が変わました。コロナの前の同じな活動が出来ません。新しい人に会うのはもっと難しいです。それにも関わらず、その9ヶ月にあまりしませんでした。
それだから、もっとたくさん事をしたいです。もっと活発な生活に生きたいです。時の流れは早すぎるですからね。毎日同じな事をしたら、全部週が混じり合っています。今から、もっと別な活動をするようにします。と言えば、コロナがもうすぐ終わることを希望しているね…

A Special Day
I finished my part-time job at noon. I had lunch and slept for a while. When I woke up, I was fairely upset because I didn't sleep well.
I went to pick up my friend at 2. It was quite hot, even though I sat in the car, I still felt pain by the sunshine. I thoght my car was hit by a three wheels bike driving by an old couple, and they were so rude. There was traffic jam, and I thoght the couple would never admit their fault and compensate, so I went on. There was a part of the road under constructing, so it was quite jolting as I was driving a go-kart.
When I arrived at the hotel, I asked the boss to park my car because there were so many people and so many cars, I was so scared. I told him I was hungry and want to eat outside, then I can go swimming with him. He invited me to eat his prawns which he cooked half an hour ago. The prawn was not cheap here, so it was very kind of him. I ate something dilicious at a reastaurant with my friend.
The boss drove my car and took us to the beach. He once told me that he would take me to a special and beautiful beach, but we stopped at a scenic spot where were so many people. I felt a little disappointed at first, when I jumped into the sea, I forget everything. I sat in the water and letted the water to take me anywhere. It felt quite special and awesome as I hadn't experienced it for a few years. If it didn't getting darker and darker, I would have been playing in the sea for a long time.
On our way back to the hotel, I lied on the window just letted the wind caress my face. I looked at the sky, or looked at the buildings, or the the people passed by. I felt like I was living in a movie. It was so good to just be a passenger in a car.
After I took a bath, my friend was singing karaoke. I joined her at once though the tone quality was really bad. We had a good time.
There were two guys playing a boxing champion 97 on a new game machine just bought by the boss. I asked one of them if I could have a try, he nodded. He taught me how the play, and we play several rounds. He left with his friend, another boy sat down and played with me, and taught me some skills. It was hot, but I was really happy.
I was gungry again. I hang out with my friend. There were so many people in the street. We had some snack.
I am really exciting today! Wish you have a good day as well.

Der wahre Spiegel
Wie wir uns im Spiegel sehen, ist nicht genau, wie die Leute uns sehen. Der Grund ist, dass der Spiegel unser Bild umdreht. Es gibt jedoch einen cleveren Weg, das zu vermeiden. Durch das Zusammenfügen zweier Spiegel im exakten 90-Grad-Winkel wird die Spiegelung wieder gespiegelt. Der schwierige Trick besteht natürlich darin, zwei Spiegel so zu verbinden, dass die Linie in der Mitte der V-Form nicht sichtbar ist. Es ist jedoch möglich und das Verfahren wurde bereits 1982 unter dem Namen "True Mirror" in den USA patentiert. Manchmal findet man einen auf Ausstellungen.

My grandma passed away last week.
She liked me and our family very much. Her assistant is her best friend. I think her assistant treated her better than I did.
My grandma had lived with my parents for five years. My mother had been helping my grandma. My father loved my grandma so much, but he was really busy. He rarely had the opportunity to chat with grandma. And grandma's ears were not so good, it was hard for her to hear what other people said.
Although grandma was not perfect, her experience was really helpful for me. She got married as a teenager. She often said to us, "Why did my mother let me get married so early?" She encouraged us to go to college, study abroad and so on. She liked her children and grandchildren so much. But she regretted not having the chance to go to college. She gave birth to her first child at the age of nineteen.
She often said to young people, early marriage would reduce the opportunity in your life. You should wait until at least your twenties to get married."
