小复述 （最强男神小说第一章一部分）
新学年快到了。c大学今天安排学生会的副会长江雪来火车站迎新人。她是历史系四年级，长发长腿的大美人，性格特别认真又热心。
她刚刚安顿好了几个师弟师妹，抬起头就看见一个身材高男生。那男生穿了简单的牛仔裤和黑色T恤。因为身材高，在人群里显得十分醒目。
他过来问江雪：“请问，学校的校车什么时候来？”
她说：“很快就到了，师弟你哪个学院的？”
男生回答：“历史系的。”
果然校车很快就到了，江雪让大一新生们依次上车，自己最后一个坐到车上。她发现刚才那个男生旁边的位置正好空着，便走过去在他的旁边坐了下来。
侧头一看，男生正低着头拿起手机玩游戏。他的表情很专注，手里在玩的游戏是“节奏大师”。

Typhoon
The weather said that there were two typhoons coming. Yes, two typhoons are coming at the same time. It reminds me of the famous slogan: winter is coming, which came from the series"Game of Thrones".
The town where I am living is about 100 km from the sea, so there are always many typhoons from June to October every year. When I was a kid, the eletricity system of my town was so poor that even a big thunder could make it out of work. Without eletricity, we children could't watch TV. And there was no bus in the small town, we could't go anywhere for travelling. So I would play pokers with my neighbors, some of who were schoolmates of mine, some were their mothers.
When I was a college student, my family moved in a little house in front of a middle school. I remembered one of the typhoons, which happened in summer holiday. The winds kept roaring and roaring, whereas the windows were shaking heavily and they seemed like breaking every seconds. Though I was scared, I still stayed alone in my room. I looked out of the window and saw several ducks standing together in the grass. I wrote a sentence in my article: I was weaker than the ducks.
Tonight, I am contradictory of the typhoons' coming. On one hand, I am expecting they coming because the storm will make me separate from the world, I can stay in my place alone without any humans' noise but just the sounds of rain and wind. I can read and think in the quiet world. On the other hand, I am a little worried about they coming because it will be so inconvenient to go for work. But I can't do anything to control the typhoons, so I become peaceful now.

Ginger, peanuts and green onions are the most common ingredients in China, and they are not expensive at all. Everyone can afford them. Green onions and ginger are condiments, not staple food. We all use them when we stir fry, and without them, dishes will be tasteless. Peanuts are a very good food. They can be cooked and fried. The most common way to eat it is to put some of it in when you make porridge and the porridge will be particularly fragrant. There are also fried five-spice peanuts. You can see it in any supermarket. It's very popular. But peanuts have a high oil content, and you will feel very greasy if you eat too much.

¿Qué sabes sobre los perros rosados?
La verdad es que me gustan todos los animales pero uno de mis favoritos debe ser el cerdo. Los cerdos son animales muy tiernos, sensibles e inteligentes. ¿Sabías que son más inteligentes que los perros? También son muy limpios. Por ejemplo eligen un rincón como inodoro y duermen en otro rincón, normalmente el qué está más lejos. Es decir, si pueden. Normalmente su establo ni es suficiente para volverse.
Otra cosa que mucha gente no sabe acerca de los cerdos es que solo pueden sudar en su nariz (¡no son suderosos en absoluto!) y por eso se revolcan en el barro para protegarse del color y de los mosquitos.
Los cerdos también son juguetones y muy sociales, forman lazos fuertes con otros. Además hace falta admitir que verdaderamente son unas monadas. ¡Al final solamente son perros rosados!

Mes vacances
Salut Marie-Josie,
J’ai une autre question à vous poser. Quand j’ai travaillé à Bromont cet hiver ils m’ont payé 4 pour-cent de mon pay à la fin de la saison pour les vacances. Je vais prends mes vacances cet été de le 2 août à le 9 août. Je sais que je n’ai pas des journées de vacances mais est-ce qu’il existe quelque chose similaire de ce que bromont a faite. Si non ce n’est pas grave. Mais il n’y a pas de mal de demander.
En plus, merci pour votre patience avec ces courriels. J’ai n’ai jamais autant écrit en français.
Bonne journée
Chris D’Silva

Honorifics of Korean
These days, my kids are trying to learn honorifics.
Using honorifics in Korea is natural for me, so I can advise them which are right sentences.
While watching my kids learning honorifics, I find out that foreigners how learn Korean should struggle with it.
Using honorifics is important in Korea because it is a part of the culture.
But it is hard to adjust new faced peoples, whether I can speak informally.
To be clearly and easily, I speak honorifics to everyone until someone gives me a permission to speak information.
This way makes less mistakes.

Less but happy
Many years ago I told myself to improve my Japanese.
I must write a diary every single day and post on this website.
If I didn’t post because the laziness I will feel guilty.
So, I told myself just writing something, all I need is quantity not quality.
At the end, I did keep this promise at least until now.
But recently I did write less than before.
That is not because the laziness.
That is because I am able to find a new way to improve my Japanese.
So, now I did write less but at the same I did “talk more”, “interactive more”.
Now even I am writing less but I feel a lot more happier.

Active learning 1
First and foremost is to distinguish between active and passive learning techniques. Passive learning is every form of studying which is only accepted (input) but doesn't have to be an active part of the process. For Example, if you listen to something and there is no interaction or even an attached task afterward. Such is when you only read something but don’t activate the process: you don’t ask questions in the meantime, you don’t reflect on what you read, you don’t summarize, and so on and so forth.

hoofdstuk 1 opdracht 13b
Ook al hebben we niet gewonnen, waren wij niet de slechtste.
Elize heeft haar been gebroken. Daardoor kan ze dit jaar aan de wedstrijd niet deelnemen.
Naarmate ik ouder word, krijg ik steeds meer rimpels in mijn gezicht.
Niet alleen in de zomer maar ook in de herfst heb ik echt veel last van mijn allergie.
Ik vond het boek niet zo goed. De film daarentegen vond ik fantastisch.
Hoe beter je slaapt, hoe gelukkiger je bent.
Ik heb weliswaar geen geld, maar ik heb een vrij oor voor jou.
Paul was de deur nog niet uit, of haar minnaar is aangekomen.
Toen jij me daarover vertelde, voelde ik pijn in mijn geheel lichaam.
Hij begrijpt gewoon niet waneer zulke dingen ongepast klinken.

A Bathroom Door
When I lived with my family in my hometown, I closed a bathroom door when going to the bathroom. It's natural. However, I haven't closed the door since I came where I live now and started to live alone. One of the reasons is it's bothering to close every time me because there's no one in my room, and it's too hot in the narrow bathroom without cooling. Additionally, a long time ago, I saw the news that a man was killed in an accident that he was locked up in a bathroom. Maybe the door's key was broken or something fitted in the front of the opening-out door, and he didn't have a phone so couldn't call for help. Also, doors sometimes don't open when they are distorted after a big earthquake. I'm scared of an accident like this, I don't close the bathroom door.

Dia dezanove de julho-2
Em 2009, a minha mãe disse que ela quis viajar para Coreia do Sul.
Ele estava gostar de dramas coreanas muito desde isso tempo.
Foi o primeiro vez o que a minha familia fomos para Coreia.
Além disso, nós viajamos em grupo. Fomos ao Seul.
É bom viajar em grupo porque alguém diz o tradição, a cultura e a língua.
Mas eu não gosto de grupo, e o meu tempo estarei limitado.
Eu prefiro viajar da excursionista.
Nós fomos bastantes lugares famoso do Seul, fomos produzimos kimchi nós mesmos e vestimos roupa tradicional.
O foto o que com roupa tradicional põe da sala da casa dos meus pais.
Achei que o viagem foi um pouco de chato porque eu não estou interessado em culturais coreanas.
No entanto, eu gosto de comidas coreanas muito.

Dia dezanove de julho
Em 2015, nós viajamos para países da Ásia do sudeste.
O primeiro nós viajmos para Malaysia, mas a viagem fui atrasada outra vez devido ao tufão.
Quando nós chegadava a Malyasia, já era meia-noite.
A primeira cidade nós deslocamos fui o Kuala Lumpur.
Eu nunca fui um país islamismo, e fui bastante interessante!
O Kuala Lumpur tem todas coisas.
Por exemplo, tem shopping mall, parque grande, mesquita bonita, arranha-céu, comidas saborosas e povos simpáticos.
É importante ter autocarros na cidade por não preço!
O preço na Malaysia fui mais barato do que Taiwan.

The ancient mind
In the ancient times, the mind was theorized as a thing in movement, which is intrinsically joined to the body. Probably the most influential text, not only for the transmission of this theory, but, in general, for the development of the psychology, was Aristotle's De Anima. There, Aristotle gives the foundation for what he calls "the science of the soul" at the same time as he offers a model for thinking about the mind. This model considers the mind as a compounded something. Its parts are powers, faculties that instead of being separated one from another, are joined as long as one is the possibility of the another. For example, the dot is the possibility for the line, a figure compounded of dots; in the same way, the line is the possibility for the square, a closed figure compounded by lines (and dots). Similarly, Aristotle says, the mind has the sensation, the imagination and the intellect, all powers that interact to each other as the point, the line and the square do.
Can you tell me how this sounds? What vibe does this paragraph give off?

I am very worried about the situation around where you live and I hope everything will be good for you.
With the development of scientific and advanced equipment, I think people living in your areas will be all safe.
The farmland is very far away from my hometown. It is in another city called Weifang, in Shandong Province, and the whole journey is more than 700 kilometers.
A couple of days ago, I went to Zhejiang University (in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province) for a training meeting for a week. I listened to some professors' speeches and visited some places and I recorded them. I will send them to you and give each episode a brief introduction. I hope you enjoy them.
This is Hangzhou West Lake. It is a famous spot in China, and I guess many foreigners might know it. Because I have lessons in the day, I can only go there at night. The big regret is that I am not able to send its daytime views to you.
This is the night view from the shore of Qiantang River. You may not know this river, but you probably know the Qiantang Tide because it is also famous as a landscape in China. There are many citizens there for sightseeing, but the weather in Hangzhou is really hot and humid. It made me very uncomfortable.
This is the night view from the shore of Jinghang Grand Canal. This river is one of the famous historic sites in China. And it's already more than 2500 years since its creation.
This is the view inside Zhejiang University. This university is rated in third place in China, and is closely after Tsinghua and Peking universities.
This village is called Xiao Gucheng village. President Xi Jinping once visited there, and now it's a model of new countryside construction. As you can see, it's really clean and tidy with a beautiful appearance.
This is Yu village in Anji county, Zhejiang Province. When Xi Jinping was appointed secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, he visited this village on March 30th, 2020. It was when he put forward the famous "Two Mountain" theory. This village is also very beautiful now.

Diary
I was angry earlier because my phone system removed the GMS (Google Mobile Service). Then I claimed in a previous diary that I wasn't going to buy any more Chinese brand phones. But that's going to hit me in the face. I did start paying attention to phone brands recently. China seems to sell very few foreign branded phones, except for the most well known Samsung and Apple. I'm not considering Apple for now because of Apple's closed source system and the huge difference between Chinese and international apps in the store. Yesterday I saw the ranking of worldwide smartphone shipments in the second quarter of this year: Samsung, Xiaomi, Apple, Oppo and Vivo. This ranking verifies my judgment: three of the five are Chinese brands. Because of the Sino-US dispute, Huawei's international shipments are not many. But in China, Huawei is still a giant. It seems my next phone may still be a Chinese brand, but I will change the OS to an international version just like the one I am using now, in order to use GMS.

Une petite question sur le français
Aujourd'hui, je voudrais poser une petite question : quelle est la différence entre "ça a été facile" et "c'était facile" ? J'imagine un genre de situation dans laquelle un étudiant demande à un autre étudiant comment s'est passé l'examen d'aujourd'hui. Je ne comprends pas vraiment la différence de nuance et c'est pour ça que je poste cette question ici.
