El primer idioma
Recrear el primer idioma - la razón por la que no vale la pena intentarlo
Aún no sabemos la fecha en que creamos nuestro primer idioma. Por supuesto que nunca sabremos la fecha exacta, pero lo que quiero decir es que no sabemos el periodo de tiempo en que los seres humanos empezaron a desarrollar la habilidad de hablar idiomas complejos. Algunos científicos creen que lo empezamos a hacer desde el primer momento, otros creen que otras especies, como los Neandertales, lo desarrollaron antes de nosotros. No obstante, al fin y al cabo, es muy improbable que lo averigüemos.
Hace unos años, se publicó en una revista científica un artículo por dos personas que decían que habían recreado algunas palabras del primer idioma hablado nunca. Un gran logro para los seres humanos y la ciencia ¿no? Desafortunadamente, aunque usaran un montón de largas palabras y demostraran sus métodos "científicos", sus resultados son equivocados. ¿Cómo lo sabemos? Pues, incluso las predicciones más cautelosas ponen la fecha en que los seres humanos empezaron a hablar hace más de cien mil años. Y los idiomas son como seres vivos: crecen, cambian e incluso mueren. Así que nunca sabremos cómo suena ni cómo era el primer idioma ya que hay tantos idiomas y familias lingüísticas que han desaparecido. Sencillamente, no tenemos los datos para recrearlo.

Voyage en Alsace
Je suis allée en voyage dont la distination était l'Alsace. C'est une région pas comme les autres, car elle avait été longtemps le territoire plutôt germanique. Elle est entrée sous le contrôl français pendant le régime de Napoléon, puis a été à nouveau annexée à la Prusse après sa victoire dans la guerre franco-prussienne en 1870. La défaite de la Prusse dans le cadre de la Première Guerre Mondial a rendu cette région française. Ensuite l'invasion du nazi l'a fait tomber dans la main de l'Allemand. Actuellement, elle fait partie de la France, abritant des particularités qui proviennent de la culture mélangée de deux pays.
Je vais raconter demain ce qui m'a marquée le plus après avoir fait quelques recherches à ce sujet : c'est l'exception de l'application de la loi de laïcité.

IETS Writing Task 1 - Cambridge 12 - Test 5
The bar chart illustrates the informations about the Australian men and women in different age groups who did regular physical activity in 2010 in percentage.
If we look at the chart closely, we can see that women are more active in almost every age groups. The only exception is the group of "15 to 24". 52,8 percent of men and 47,7 percent of women do regular physical activity. The gap between two genders is not dramatically large, it stays usually at 10 percent.
The group of "35 to 44" has the biggest gap. 35 percent of men and 52,2 percent of women exercises regularly, this gap decreases to 10 percent for the group of "45 to 54". The smallest gap belongs to the group of "65 and over", the difference is almost one percent and approximately 47 percent of all of the senior Australians do regular physical activity.
Overall, we can say that Australians have a pretty active life style and they do not give up on it even if they get older. This is a feature that all other cultures should inspire of.

The Spy and the Traitor - 15
Summary no. 15.
This is a real story.
When his posting* in Copenhagen was nearing its end, Oleg received an unsettling telegram from Moscow. The KGB had instructed him to cease any operational activity and limit himself to paperwork until he was back to Moscow. This sudden change, as the KGB explained, was a damage limitation* move. As it seemed, PET, the Danish Security Service, had been taking too much of an interest in Oleg. He had been on PET’s radar for too long. Hence the KGB had grown particularly concerned. The thought of a diplomatic case put Moscow at unease. So that was how the KGB had decided to deal with it for the time being. As Oleg digested** the full implications of it all, he felt a sense of deep unease flooding over him.
It was customary for diplomats to hold parties and invite colleagues at other embassies. At one of this party, held by a West German diplomat, Oleg fell into conversation with a charming Danish guy. One was a Soviet, the other was a Danish, yet they fascinatingly seemed to have a lot in common. They shared the same tastes in music, art, literature and so forth. Perhaps it was just as well that Oleg had no idea what lay behind that charming, appealing facade, for the Dane was a PET agent in mission. The Danish Security Service had laid a trap for Oleg, who unwittingly avoided it.
* British English.
**Assuming that the original sentence is correct, can I also say, “As the implications sunk in....”?

I Joined an ENGLISH Online Course
I joined an English online course yesterday. I hope the course will help me to improve my English. If I get the certificate of this course, I will get a lot of job opportunities. I don't know why I still have grammar mistakes, though, I've studied so many grammar rules. I hope after I have finished the course my English level will be more advanced.

First day here
This is my first day on LangCorrect. Before started using this service, I was not sure why people would be willing to spend time and correct other people's writing. However, once I got started and the system showed passages of my native language for me to correct, I found reading those passages interesting! It was like meeting new friends who shared their thoughts that you usually wouldn't hear. So I hope that the thoughts I will share here will also interest people so that they will feel worth the time reading.

030501- Saturday Sidelights
This week I usually spent one hour each day on LangCorrect, one third of time to amend my entires, twenty minutes to correct others' Chinese journals, and the other time to write a new one. Today I was so tired to review my Friday writing, but tomorrow I would do it. Thanks for all people who have helped me strengthen writing capacity.
Today I submitted my homework for business English course. I am delighted to have a chance to share my thought with the classmates by oral presentation next Wednesday. It also meant that I finally had time for a gentle stroll. The new park was so incredible that many people were flying kites and various flowers were also blooming. I love spring.

Ma chambre
Ma chambre est mon endroit préféré. Je vis dans la même chambre depuis presque huit ans. Là, je me sens en sécurité. C'est tranquille et je peux faire ce que je veux. Je peux écouter de la musique sans que mon père me dise que ma musique soit de la merde. Là, je peux être seule, sans me sentir seulet. Dans ma chambre, j'ai tous mes choses que j’aime : Mon chat, mon lit, des dessins que j'ai reçu de mes amis, des cartes que ma famille m'a envoyées. J'ai aussi tous les choses dont j'ai besoin pour mes loisirs : Mon ordinateur, mon clavier, mes couleurs et mes livres. J'aime tous ces choses beaucoup, mais la chose qui me plait le plus dans ma chambre, c'est ma fenêtre. Ma fenêtre a une vue sur tout le canton. Je vois les montagnes, les villages et le lac. Beaucoup de la lumière solaire peut entrer dans la chambre grâce à ma fenêtre. La nuit, je vois toutes les étoiles et même la lune depuis mon lit.

Tourismus
Ich habe Deutsch für Tourismus studiert. Ich möchte in der Tourismusbranche arbeiten. Vor Covid habe ich als Praktikantin bei einer Reisefirma gearbeitet. Alles ist sehr gut gelaufen. Meine Kollegen sind nett. Ich habe viel Neues gelernt und viele interessante Leute getroffen. Ich war sehr aktiv. Aber wenn Covid-19 gekommen ist, musste ich stoppen. Dann musste ich meine Berufsorientierung ändern. Ich bewundere die Leute, die im Tourismus arbeiten, weil ich denke, dass sie weite Kenntnisse und besondere Eigenschaften.

5 mars 2022 - Faire du yoga
J'ai commencé à faire du yoga dans le parc il y a trois jours parce que j'en ai eu mal de m'assoir toute la journée sans bouger. Faire du yoga lui-meme, ça me fait déjà très plaisir et le faire dans un parc, c'est mieux. Quand je suis entourée par les verres, la brise et le soleil, je pourrais me concentrer mieux sur mon respiration et les postures. Cependant, il y a eu un petit moment que je n'écrit pas alise : c'est quand je faisais les postures que je ne maîtrisais pas très bien parce que je me suis inquietée si les passants se moquaient de moi. Mais je me suis dit quelques sécondes après : «Je m'en fiche de ce que les autres disent. Ce n'est pas leur affaire.»

Mes investissement en bourse
En Norvege c'est interdit à investir en bourse avant d'avoir 18 ans. J'ai maintenant 18 ans donc j'ai deja commencé à investir en bourse, mais malheureusement j'en n'ai pas encore profité. (j'ai investi fonds d'index.) Je n'avais pas des chance parce que je me suis mis à investir juste avant l'arivvée d'omicron et quand la situation covid a commendé à s'amelioré la russe a envahi l'ukraine. Donc, mes investissements ont beaucoup baissé depuis que j'ai commencé à investir. Mais je pense que le bourse augment au fur et à mesure de temps, parce qu'il y a normalement une augmentation aprés une crise international. Il y a aussi des côtés positifs: maintenant que les fonds sont faibles et le fait que les fonds vont probablement s'enforcer. Donc je profiterais plus de mes nouvaux inverstissement, en plus j'ai une idée de celles fonds dont je devrait investir puisque quelques fonts sont plus faibles que d'autres et il vais pourtant augmenter plus que les autres. La raison pour laquelle il vaudrait investir dans celles fonds est que tout les fonds se stabeliseront avec le temps. En tout cas il vaudrait mieux d'investir maintenant et j'aurais 10% plus d'argent.

Ways to Reduce My Stress
These days, I was depressed from stresses due to work.
Before COVID-19, I used to exercise and play my instrument to reduce my stress, but it isn't possible.
As my friend's advice, I write the journal and meditate.
From the journal, I can discover my true feeling and find out the reason.
With meditation, I can spare my time and avoid heavy-stress.
Overall, I will go the extra mile to make them habits handling my stress.

IELTS Writing Task 2
TASK:
The use of mobile phone is as antisocial as smoking. Smoking is banned in certain places so mobile phone should be banned like smoking.
To what extend do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
ANSWER:
Mobile phone usage is increasing dramatically and there is a belief that the use of mobile phones are just antisocial as smoking therefore it should be banned in some places like smoking. I do not agree that cell phones are antisocial as smoking however thay should be restricted in some areas.
First of all, smoking is the source of some biggest health problems such as lung cancer and tumours. It is not just harmful to the smoker but also to people nearby considering they also breath in the smoke that hangs in the air. While cigarettes, in fact, disturb everyone at any circumstances, mobile phones do not cause a problem or irritation on indiviual use. It is possible to put a phone on a silent mode but impossible to block smoke from a cigarette.
On the other hand, there are some circumstances where even a phone on a silent mode can be disturbing such as cinema or theatre. There is no doubt that they are essential to comminication and emergencies. However the light of the screen will glow in the dark even though it is on lowest setting and irritate other viewers moreover disturb the actors. To overcome this problem mobile phones must be banned in these places.
To sum up, smoking is not only antisocial, but harmful to people's healths therefore should be banned in indoors, while mobile phones can only be identified as antisocial in some areas under specific circumstances. That being said, restriction in certain places could be acceptable and must be encouraged.

地球温暖化のためいろいろな問題が出ている
地球は過去より暖かくなりましたが、ずっと暖かくなっています。それでいろいろな問題が出ています。地球温暖化は農業と漁業に悪い影響を及ぼしています。あるところでは、過去に植えた植物はもうこれ以上よく植えられません。そして海の温度が上がったので死んでなくなってしまった魚も多いです。地球温暖化は人間の健康にも悪い影響を及ぼします。国連のIPCCによると、世界で３０億人以上は地球温暖化で被害を受けています。
私たち何をしたらいいですか。環境保護を重んじる会社を応援してそんな会社の製品を使うほうがいいと思っています。ある会社は環境を汚しますが、地球のためそんな会社がなくかければなりません。そして車の代わりに自転車や地下鉄に乗ったり歩いて行ったりするほうがいいです。落ちで水や電気を節約ことも大切です。

No. Anhui is a province in the east-central part of China, and Hefei is the capital. It covers an area of 140,100 square kilometers and has a population of 61,027,200.
It governs 16 prefecture-level cities, 9 county-level cities, 50 counties and 45 municipal districts. The famous scenic spots are Huang Mountain and Jiuhua Mountain.
My city, Fuyang, is a prefecture-level city, which is located in the northwest part of Anhui province and covers an area of 160 square kilometers.
It governs 3 municipal districts, 1 county-level city, 4 counties and has a population of 11,000,000.
The Fuyang area is a big plain, which is a part of the Huabei Plain of China. Farmers here mainly grow wheat, rice, corn, soybeans and so on. So my city is an agricultural city.
In my opinion, you already have a decent job. Of course, if you can be a columnist, that will be nicer. You can give it a shot.
One thing before the pandemic I miss the most is that we could travel anywhere we wanted without any worries, but now, it's very different, and we even eliminated the thought of traveling.
Here are some photos of Fuyang city. Hope you enjoy them.

Paid family leave in China
Paid Family Leave, a long forgotten term in China, has regained attention recently after a draft law aiming to protect the interest and rights of elderly people calls for the younger generation to spend more time with their parents.
Paid Family Leave was first brought up in the 50s, and it was only available for employees in the public sector. It has not been well honored nowadays.
People have been calling for revising the rules to give it more attention; some even argue that it should be codified into law. Some experts argue instead that, considering that Paid Family Leave was introduced when people worked 6 days a week and when there were no annual PTOs, reenacting it now would be problematic.
