Bonjour
Je m’appelle Chris. J’ai 39 ans et je suis en train d’apprendre le Français. Je suis capable de parler mieux que j’écris alors j’ai décidé de joindre cet communauté. Je suis un moniteur de ski pendant l’hiver et je suis en train de devenir un instructeur de golf pendant l’été. Merci pour toute ton aide.

Something new
Lately I've been thinking about learning another language. When I was younger, I studied English because my parents made me. I was aware that being fluent in English would be important and useful for me in the future, so I never complained. However, I didn't enjoy learning it as it was an obligation and I wasn't interested in it then. I'm glad that my parents made me learn it as it's a nice skill to have. I can listen to music, read and watch series in English. Now, I would like to learn a language not as an obligation but as a genuine interest. I've come to the realization that the more I know, the more opportunities I will have in the future. My mom used to say to me that you can lose everything you own, but you can't lose your knowledge and skills. No one can take that from you.

Back to Lang-8
Just came to say I somehow managed to remember my old Lang-8 account. Geez, I'd not used that website for ages, as they don't allow new users to sign in anymore. I may check later some old journal entries to assess how much my English has actually improved. I hope not to be disappointed at myself after I'm done with that.

最近，我在看一本日本漫畫，叫《藍色時期》。主角是一位高中生，在考入大學一年前發現自己對畫畫有興趣，想上藝術大學繼續學習。雖然他比別人遲了多才開始，可是沒有放棄，而且非常努力。他的恆心我非常佩服。我還沒看完，不知道他是否成功，不過這本漫畫讓我想起了自己上藝術大學的經驗。
在藝大，比我更有才華的人有很多。雖然我的作品有進步，可是沒有夢想中那麼多。當時覺得自己永遠都追不上人家，打擊極大，所以情緒很低落。畢業後，我整整一年沒有畫畫。我根本沒有本事，要是繼續追求畫家夢也沒有前途。
當疫情爆發時，我在工作的商場必須關門。整天待在家裏有些無聊，所以我又開始畫畫了。我發現過去自己太悲觀了，其實不用放棄，如果繼續努力練習，一定會有收穫。現在，我每天下班後都花一段時間畫畫，而且還會專注於自己不擅長的方面來練習。
我不知道將來對從事藝術工作有沒有興趣。當畫家的命很苦，要是做自僱的話，收入不穩定，又沒有員工福利。如果把畫畫當成愛好，就輕鬆多了。不過，想得太遠無意義，現在覺得有意思就行了。

Brasilien gegen Argentinien
Heute gibt es ein Fußballspiel mit einer historischen Rivalität im Finale der Copa América. Ich bin kein großer Fan von Fußball, aber ich glaube ich sollte es sehen. Brasilien gegen Argentinien ist eine historische Rivalität aus der Zeit von Pelé und Maradona. Die Leute diskutierten darüber, wer der Beste war, und das tun sie auch heute noch. Brasilien ist eines der stärksten Teams der Welt. Ja, wir hatten 2014 eine demütigende Niederlage gegen Deutschland, aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass wir uns nach dem Sieg gegen Deutschland 2016 bei den Olympischen Spielen ein wenig erlöst haben. Argentinien hat seit 14 Jahren kein Spiel gegen Brasilien gewonnen. Ihr Team ist jedoch stark, sie haben Messi. Die brasilianische Antwort? Wir haben Neymar.

Je veux aller en Europe pour voyager
Si je peux voyager sans problème d’argent, je veux aller en Europe pour voyager. J’aime toujours le temps en zone tempérée. Je veux y aller au moins une fois dans ma vie.
Je ne veux pas visiter des villes célèbres comme Londres ou Paris, je veux aller à la montagne, au bois, à la campagne, à les fermes, etc. Je ne vois jamais une tulipe en vrai. J’ai regardé une fois une vidéo youtube dans laquelle une jeune femme a perdu son cheval, le cheval s’est enfui et elle n’a pas pu l’attraper. Elle a dû demander à une homme qui était en train de conduire une moto pour l’aider à chasser le cheval. Finalement, elle a pu attraper son cheval. Cette vidéo youtube est très simple, mais ça m’a profondément impressionnée. Je me sens que la vie de cette femme dans la vidéo est complètement différente de ma vie. La ville dans laquelle elle habite semble être la même qu’une ville dans un conte de fées que j’écoutais souvent quand j’étais petite.
Quand je regarde des films européens, j’aime beaucoup les maisons ou les villes autour desquelles il y a un bois. Pendant leur temps libre, les personnages iront au bois pour faire de la randonnée ou pique-niquer. J’aime beaucoup les bois. Quand je prendrai ma retraite, je veux trouver une ville près des bois, construire une petite maison et y habiter.

A Ride
I went riding a bike at dusk today. It was hot, so I wear shorts and sandals. I put on blue earphones to listen music.
There were a few people who were going for a walk at the beginning, I passed by quickly. Then there was nobody walking. The sun was going down, the light is warm and golden, it made me feel comfortable. I stopped and took a picture. There was another guy who was riding.
I kept riding. I met a piece of rice fild. The rice is yellow and put its head down. It is near the harvest time. I happened to hear the song <Tsing River>(《清河》) from the earphones. The song is about the dusk of the Tsing River. What a wonderful coincidence! I stopped and took a lot of photos of the rice fild because it is very beautiful.
I started again. The song <Apple of My Eye> flew in my ear. The scene is the apple of my eye. I usually rode a bike here last year when I was free.

Being into Note-taking
These days, I am really into note-taking.
So I usually watch video clips and try to follow the ways which are interesting in.
On my phone there are five note-taking apps for different topics and purposes.
Handwriting is good, but I think using apps are more convenient because it is possible to write anywhere and anytime.
I think writing every day and review is the most important the habit of note-taking.
In the end, all of contents help your productivity and inspiration.
I totally recommend to make a habit , note-taking

No Longer Human
I read "No Longer Human" by Osamu Dazai. The literary style is a note written by a man who has lived a shameful life. The note starts when he was a child and ends when he becomes no longer human. Therefore, the story was gloomy but it matched reading on rainy days. When I was reading it, I associated it with "Convenience Store Women" because both are about people unfit for society. Additionally, both of the main characters have a strong point, which can be said their misfortune at the same time. His strength is he attracts many women, and her strength is she is suitable for working at the convenience store.

Jazz Drum
One year ago, I decided to learn jazz drum. I never play it before, but I think it is cool.
Before learning, I knew nothing about the music theory. When I was singing, I was always teld that I was wrong with the melody. I was so confused.
There is no melody in jazz drum, you just need to learn the rhythm. But it was still hard for me to feel the rhythm. It took me a long time to learn. I am still confident to depict the details of them.
But it doesn't matter. Once my drum teacher asked me why I learnt playing drum, I teld him that just for fun. I am always impatient in many things. When I was playing drum, I can feel peaceful. It really surprised me. Then I found out that I became more patient in other things, like doing the dishes, cleaning, ect. I used to hate doing the dishes a lot.
As I learned more and more, I got the beauty of some songs. The feeling are so different from before.
And the process of learning to play drum is also the process of getting more self-confidence. When I make mistakes, I keep telling myself: take it easy, you can do it. And when I think I can, then I really can. The pleasure of success drive me practise more. As I practise more, I got more pleasue. It works like a circle.
I love playing jazz drum.

Dovrebbero i negozi accettare i pagamenti attraverso Bitcoin? Non ci penso, nonostante quanto rivoluzionante sia. Per abbordare questo tema, bisogna elencare prima di tutto gli svantaggi di questo modo di pagamento.
Innanzitutto, il pagare mediante Bitcoin non è un modo finanziario ecologico. Per generare (oppure "minare") le monete digitale, ci vuole essere connesso al computer 24 ore al giorno. Come potete immaginare, questo significa che non si può mai spegnere l'interruttore, nemmeno quando è fuori casa. Adesso immaginatevi questo scenario moltiplicato per mila di persone. Le conseguenze sarebbero disastrose, poiché consumeremmo una quantità diaria ridicolosa di elettricità.
Secondo, non ci sono state molte campagne di consapevolezza su questa tecnologia. Quindi questo porta il rischio di essere truffato per chi non conosca la moneta Bitcoin, soprattutto nelle aree più rurali, dove c'è accesso limitato al mondo digitale. Per quanto pare, in El Salvador, il primo paese a legalizzare pagamenti tramite Bitcoin, alcuni dei negozianti più vecchi si lamentano che sia stata promulgata questa legge, siccome non sanno come verificare il pagamento, o peggiore, qualcuno può ingannarli affermando di aver pagato, approfittandosi della loro inconsapevolezza.
Ultimo, ma non per importanza, penso che Bitcoin sia ridondante. Abbiamo già molti metodi di pagare digitalmente: Apple Pay, Google Pay e Samsung Pay, per nombrare alcuni. Quindi se si desida prendere la rotta digitale, questi modi meglio sviluppati sono già a la sua disposizione.

En bonus för svenskstuderande
Ingmar Bergman var en känd regissör som skapade många filmer. De filmerna fortfarande diskuteras och analyseras av många, inte bara i Sverige men internationellt.
Innan jag började att lära mig svenska hade jag sett bara en film av honom. Jag gillade den. Några år senare kunde jag titta på två andra men nu på svenska, utan översättning. Det kändes som en händelse. Att känna till ett konstverk utan barriären av ett annat språk ger man en underbar känsla. Jag är glad att jag lär mig svenska.

I Need To Do Stretching Exercises.
My coworker left our company this month. So I have to take over his job. The job is a lot of hard work, so my arms are sore. I'm getting tired every day. But thanks to the job, I feel I'm getting enough exercise. At the same time, I need to do stretching exercises, so I started it after taking a bath at home.

Dia dez de julho
Em algum dia, a minha mãe pegou-nós pelo grupo viajante.
Depois, nós fomos para México de autocarro.
Foi muito interesante bastante para min porque o meu pais é uma ilha, nós temos de ir ao estrangeiro de avião ou cruseiro.
Não tenho certeza por que nós não mostrámos os passaportes quando nós chagadavamos, mas nós chegadámos!
A cidade nós visitámos foi Ensenada.
Nós viajarámos por só dois dias.
Visitámos o fontanário famoso da Ensenada, fizemos a feira local e comemos em restaurante mexicano.
Achei que o seguro do México foi não bem, mas as pessoas aquela foram feliz.

Tidsresa
Det finns många konspirationsteorier som försöker förklara varför Olof Palme blev mördad på Sveavägen den 28:e februari 1986. Var gärningsmännen kurdiska anarkister och PKK medlemmar oroliga över Sveriges hantering av kurder under den tiden? Sydafrikansk eller rhodesiansk agenter som dödade Palme för Sveriges stöd till ANC och anti-apartheidrörelsen i Sydafrika? Eller var det bara en enkel lone wolf som agerade ensamt? De flesta teorier har avfärdats av undersökare eller journalister på grund av brist på bevis, men några få har valts av myndigheterna som troliga hypoteser. Förra året kom åklagaren ut med beskedet att Palmes mördare troligen är Stig Engström (med smeknamn Skaniamannen), men det beslutet har hånats av media som säger att regeringen försöker att undvika att åtala någon levande person för brottet genom att skylla mordet på Stig, som har varit död sedan 2000. Det finns också en brist på bevis i det här fallet. Därför tror jag att det skulle vara värt en tidsresa för att ta reda på vad som faktiskt skedde på Sveavägen, och varför.

Las manzanas
Es algo muy raro en que pensar, pero las manazas han tenido un enorme impacto en nuestra cultura, al menos en Estados Unidos. A pesar de su variedad asombrosa, no hay nada que las haga asomar. ¡No obstante, están por doquier: en los libros para niños, nuestros dichos cotidianos e incluso en nuestros postres! ¿Cómo se volvió tan popular esta fruta?
Pues, buscando su hogar original no va a clarificar nada. Las primeras manzanas se domesticaron en las montañas entre China, Kirguistán y Kazajstán, bastante lejos de Europa y Estados Unidos. Tal vez fuera su utilidad y durabilidad que las volvieron popular. Guardan fácilmente y quedan fiables durante meses. Esto explicaría su popularidad en los países del Norte, como Alemania, Suecia y Noruega. Además, las puedan usar para crear bebidas como el zumo o la sidra.
En Estados Unidos, tenemos muchos dichos y costumbres que tienen que ver con las manzanas. Por ejemplo, durante el otoño es común hornear la tarta de manzanas y los pasteles de manzanas son muy populares durante el invierno. También hay dichos como, "Una manzana cada día mantiene alejado al doctor (An apple a day keeps the doctor away)". No sé de donde es, la verdad. Finalmente, tenemos la leyenda de Jonny Appleseed (semilla de manzanas), que en realidad era una persona real. Quizá la explique en mi próxima entrada.

Sentences 28 – 30
1. A bucket of mineral water can usually be drunk for a week. When Jan went back, the mineral water in the dormitory was gone in 2 days, which implies that Jan drank a lot of water.

3. Only a little cakes left in the refrigerator. It suggest that Jan eat a lot when Erik left home.

Choisir un métier en fonction du revenu ?
Cette fois-ci, je vais écrire sur la question suivant : faut-il choisir un métier en fonction du revenu qu'il rapporte ?
Bien sûr que ça dépend des personnes : s'il a besoin de gagner de l'argent pour rembourser sa dette, il faut qu'il choisisse son métier bien rémunéré. Cependant, d'après moi, il est mieux de bien savoir soi-même quand on choisit notre métier parce que chacun a ses goûts largement divers.
En ce qui me concerne, je met en valeur plutôt ce que je ressens à l'instant. Le revenu est essentiel pour stabiliser ma vie, mais par ailleurs l'argent ne me motive pas vraiment quand je dois faire quelque chose. Ça se traduit pas le fait que je n'ai pas pu aller au gym autant que d'autre collègues même si je payais le frais pas bas. Par contre, mon mari et ma mère sont d'un type de personne avec qui de l'argent peut être une motivation et peut les pousser à faire quelque chose. Il ne s'agit pas de si c'est bon ou mauvais, mais de la différence de caractère, et je les admire pour leurs talents.
Pour résumer, il faut bien connaître quel type de personne on est, à fin de dénicher les critères important pour chacun. Cela va sans dire que les salaires sont important, mais il existe d'autre éléments qui comptent.
