Sentences 163: Good Thing, bender, Familiarity
After years of chopping and changing, my sister is finally onto a good thing with her new job.
During my studies, I really went on a bender – but now I drink alcohol maybe once a month.

下大雨
雖然今天的天氣預報告誡有從弗羅里達來的熱帶風暴，但我已經跟我的朋友木蘭有約會。天氣預報說晚上4點左右雨會停止，所以如果我4點離開家裡應該沒有問題。 昨天晚上我跟我另外一個朋友去吃火鍋，所以我希望今晚會吃其他的菜。說到食物，我太激動了去台灣吃台灣菜。我知道要等1年多了才可以搬家，可是我不由自主地上網路看公寓。一開始看591的網站找公寓，我找不到了合適的地方。我怕住在一室公寓因為給我幽閉恐懼的感覺；我喜歡我的客廳和廚房離我的床遠一點。另外，我所有的東西會跟我一起搬家，一房公寓可能太小了。但是住在兩房的電梯大樓太貴了。出了這些原因，我也在查台北的電梯大樓，所以租金特別貴。後來，我決定看新竹城有什麼電梯大樓可以租。我沒想到新竹的電梯大禮不但更便宜，而且有太多的選擇。我最喜歡的有樓梯在裡面，所以客廳廚房都在一樓，然後床是在頂樓。該房子用英文我也不知道怎麼說，可是我覺得那樣對我最合適。

What are the popular entertainment websites / apps in your c
In my country Netflix is the most popular website for entertainment. Most families have a subscription. TV series such as game of thrones are by far the most popular programs being watched by people. Netflix has also an app for different platforms which makes it easy for individuals to watch their favorite show on the move.
One of my pastimes is watching the recent released movies on Netflix. I'm a fan of action and adventurous genre and also like biography movies.

4/30 Ma scolarité
J'ai fait tous mes études à Hong Kong, l'école primaire, le collège, le lycée et l'université, quoi qui l'en soit. À 6 ans, je suis entrée à l'école primaire qui n'était pas très prestigieuse mais là j'apprenais à lire, écrire, faire des divisions. Et c'était là que j'ai développé mon confiance parce que j'ai pu avoir de bonnes notes facilement quand j'étais entourée par des élèves pas très performants.
Après l'école primaire, direction "le collège et le lycée". Ici, on fait normalement 6 ans d'école sécondaire qui est l'école où on va de 11-17 ans, équivalant de collège et de lycée en France. Je passais six bonnes années là-bas. À partir de ce moment-là, mes camarades vienaient des familles de la classe moyenne. Je suis entrée dans un monde complètement different de ce qui était à l'école primaire. Non seulement elles ayaient de bonnes notes, elles étaient aussi très compétantes. La concurrence y était forte, soit l'aspect scolarie, soit des autres aspects comme la musicale, le sport... etc. Malgré ça, on se gardait une relation amicale. J'ai rencontré beaucoup de bonnes amis qui me supportent et de professeurs très genials qui sont encore des mentors de ma vie. Le temps que j'y passais est surement un des moments inoubliables.

Las clases virtuales
Hoy día, las clases virtuales forman un gran parte de nuestra vida diaria a raíz de la pandemia. Esto ha cambiado drásticamente el proceso de aprendizaje y ha sido muy difícil para muchos estudiantes adaptarse a esta nueva manera de aprender. Para muchos estudiantes, ir a la escuela le permitía escaparse de las adversidades en casa, sin embargo, por culpa de la pandemia ya no tienen esta opción. Ya que es complicado enseñar ciertas lecciones en línea, los estudiantes pueden afrontar problemas para entender la información lo que repercute en su rendimiento escolar.
No obstante, hay algunas ventajas ya que no es menester despertarse muy temprano para ir a la escuela y es posible trabajar en la comodidad del hogar.

My Musical Instrument
I practiced a musical instrument day by day.
It is the oboe which is a kind of wind instrument.
Unlikely other instrument, oboe uses double reeds to make its characteristic sound.
I bought it 10 years ago when I got a first bonus
Since my company has an orchestra practice room, I used to go there and played it.
Because of Covid-19, the room is closed and no one can practice.
I hope this pandemic will come to and end soon.

¿Qué hace el arte?
Primero, el arte nos ofrece una idea de cómo otras personas viven el mundo. Nunca podremos saber esto de manera directa, pero el arte brinda la oportunidad de explorar otros puntos de vista y por tanto ayuda a desarrollar un sentido de empatía.
Del mismo modo, el arte refleja su tiempo. Las esperanzas y ansiedades de una época inevitablemente aparecen en el arte, lo que ilustra la conciencia colectiva de un grupo o de una nación. Mirando el arte de la primera mitad del siglo XX, se pueden ver los temores sobre la modernidad, el impacto devastador de las Guerras Mundiales y las influencias de experimentos intelectuales tal como el surrealismo y el dadaísmo. El arte es una reflexión social, una herramienta indispensable para entender la historia de la humanidad (y su futura).
Finalmente, el arte puede jugar con diferentes discursos, combinando, por ejemplo, la ciencia y la imaginación o incluso la magia. Por consiguiente, el arte es a la vez un producto y una fuente de creatividad.

A Short Trip
At dusk, it wasn't very hot. So I decided to go for a ride. I wanted to go to visit two aunts who live nearby. I visited them in April. It cost me half an hour one way.
The major road is rebuilding. So it is very unconvinient. When I was riding, a car passed by, but it didn't slow down. I had to ride towards the roadbed which is made of earth. And the roadbed is about 5 cms lower than the road. So I dumped for a while. I hate the rude driver.
When I arrived, one aunt wasn't at home. The other just finished picking longan. I ate a lot of logan and wampee. We chat a lot. And then I had lunch with them. Aunt invited me for another visit soon, and she will cook eggs for me because she knows I like eggs. When I leave, she asked me to take some eggs which she just picked from the farm. But the road is dumpy, the eggs will be broken. So I refused. But I took the longan and wampee away.
On my way back, I chose a country road. It is longer than the major one, but there are fewer cars. The sun has gone down, the cloud was pink. There are hill far away, they are so green. The breeze was blowing. And birds were flying. I felt peace and very happy that I made a right decision to go for the trip.
I love the nature, it can always make me feel peace inside. And I need to go out more to have a good mood.

Något som har gått bra i min språkinlärning
Ett av de vanligaste tips som man får om man lär sig ett språk är att läsa barnböcker. "De är ju enkla!". Jag håller inte med. Jag tror att just barnböcker har ovanliga ord som är inte så viktigt att lära sig i början (ord som beskriver djurens ljud, till exempel). Förutom det, barnböcker är skittråkiga. Storyn griper inte, romanfigurerna saknar karaktär, det är bara löjligt. Och det är ju svårare att lära sig om man har inte kul, tappar intresse, är uttråkad, och så vidare.
Därför var det så givande för mig att få uppmaning från min lärare för att prova på böcker för vuxna. Skönlitteratur var för svårt, men det gick bra med faktaböcker i ämnena som jag redan visste lite om. Biblioteket blev mitt nya hem och läsförståelse förbättrades snabbt eftersom jag var så peppad att lära mig nya saker och svenska samtidigt. Det kändes inte ens som pluggande, det kändes bara roligt. Att ha det roligt medan man lär sig är det bästa tips, tror jag!

나만의 시간
주말이나 또 다른 나와 남편 둘다 쉬는 날이 오면 사람들이 우리가 그 시간을 무조건 함께 한다고 생각한다. 예를 들어서, 남편의 친구들이 PC방에 가서 게임을 하고 싶을 때 남편이 같이 가자고 하면 친구들이 다 "아내와 함께 하루를 보내는 건 아니냐?"고 묻는다. 그러나 서로를 아무리 많이 사랑해도 쉬는 시간을 다 함께 보내지 못한다. 누구나 나만의 시간이 필요할 때다 있다.
오늘은 쉬는 날이었다. 아침에 일어나서 공부를 좀 한 다음에 게임을 하였다. 그리고 점심 시간쯤 남편하고 점심을 같이 먹었다. 그런데 그 다음에 남편이 오랜만에 시골에 있는 외할아버지의 무덤을 보러 가고 싶어서 차를 몰고 나 없이 떠났다. 그래서 나는 오늘을 내가 원하는대로 보낼 수 있었다. 책도 읽고 사람이 거의 없는 카페도 가고 빨래도 하고... 남편을 사랑하지만 따로 하는 시간도 가끔씩 필요하다!

My Glasses Has Broken
My pair of glasses broke yesterday. When I tried to wear it, its right temple suddenly snapped. It was the first pair of glasses I bought and I had used it for four years. The temple was made of resin, so the reason may be the deterioration of resin as time passed. Fortunately, I previously bought another pair of glasses for backup, and I'm using it now.

Discussion
Michael: I think English is easy to learn.
Alice: I don’t really think you’re right. Indeed, I think English is a very difficult language to learn. It’s true that grammar is easy if we compare English with other languages like Spanish or French, but other aspects are very complicated. For example, the pronunciation. In Spanish you pronounce the words like you write them. However, in English each word has its own pronunciation without any rules.
Agatha: I couldn’t agree more with you Alice. Other aspect I’d like to highlight is that to achieve an intermediate level of English is quite easy if you study a couple of hours every day. When you start to study English, you feel you are progressing and this is very motivating. But when you have an intermediate level and you want to achieve an advanced level, the situation is different. You don’t progress so quickly and the frustration appears more frequently and if you want to improve your level you have to practice a lot of hours.
David: Agatha, that’s just what I think, too. When you want to achieve an advanced level of English you have to think in this language almost all day: from you get up in the morning to you go to sleep in the night. The easiest way to do this is travelling to a country with English speakers but if you can’t, the only way you can improve your level is practicing the listening, the writing, the speaking and the reading every day. For example, you can read books, speak with native English speakers, watch films and series without subtitles, study a good English book of an advanced level, write compositions in English, or even do an English course of a subject that you like. For example, I’m studying a Coaching course in English. Namely, do a lot of activities in English.
Agatha: Absolutely! It’s very important to be immerse yourself in English language if you want to achieve an advanced level and this is not easy. So, in my view, English isn’t easy to learn.

Dia nove de julho
Depois, nós visitamos o Parque Nacional de Yosemite e o San Francisco.
Fomos embora lugares de autocarro.
Eu lembro a distância é bastante longa.
Do Yosemite, nós lemos da castata grande.
O tempo durante estava cheio de sol.
O paisagem aqui fui lindo.
Do San Francisco, está da cidade bonita.
Ficou muitos jardims pequenos com as flores coloridas e casas bonitas.
Estivemos em um barco e lemos a Ponte Golden Gate.
É uma ponte cheia de vermelha.
Achei o tempo do San Francisco é mais frio do que Los Angeles.

CIA och droghandeln
Om polisen fångade två olika personer innan 2010 och upptäckte att en hade crackkokain och den andra pulveriserad kokain (som är vanligare i rika kretsar), skulle den första mannen bestraffas hundra gånger hårdare än den andra enligt 100:1 regeln. Även om både crack och pulver är två typer av samma drog och crack inte är särskilt farligare än pulver slog lagen fast att så här skulle männen bestraffas. Den här regeln ledde till stor ojämlikhet i hur lagen hanterade drogmissbrukare, och eftersom crack var en billig alternativ till den mer raffinerade pulvern hamnade flera svarta amerikaner i fängelse för mycket längre än deras rika, vita grannar.
Men det som inte har berättats ofta är hur den amerikanska underrättelsetjänsten (CIA) förvärrade den här epidemin genom att föra crack från allierade i centrala och södra amerika till storstäder som LA och San Francisco. Det må låta som en konspirationsteori, men detta agerandet från CIA är inte något nytt som bara började i slutet av det Kalla Kriget. Under 50-talet stödde CIA den korsikanska maffian i Marseille, som producerade heroin, för att motverka makten av franska kommunister och fackförbund i regionen. Heroin som skapades här bestod av en stor majoritet av det som användes i USA under den tiden. Air America, flygbolaget som ägdes av CIA, förde opium från kinesiska nationalister till både Vietnam och Laos för att raffineras och föras vidare världen runt. Är det då förvånande att CIA stödde nicaraguanska antikommunister med vinster från crack odling för att bekämpa sandinisterna? Jag tror inte det.
