Comprendre les Québécois
Il y a deux mois j’ai acheté un cours qui s’appelle Comprendre les Québécois. C’était super intéressant. Avant d’arriver ici j’avais une base en français, mais je n’étais pas capable de parler couramment. En plus, j’avais la difficulté à comprendre l’accent ici.
J’ai remarqué que les québécois prononcer certains mots différemment qu’en France. Par example quand il prononce “tu” j’ai entendu “tsu”. En plus, quand il prononce “difficile” j’ai entendu “dzifficile”. Au début, j’ai pensé que je les avait mal entendu ou que mon français n’était pas assez fort pour entendre la différence. Le cours avait expliqué que cet phénomène s’appelle l’africation. C’est la tendance à prononcer les “t” comme si il y a un “s” qui le suivre et les “d” comme si il y a un “z” qui le suivre. J’étais fasciné qu’il y avait un explication technique pour ce que j’ai entendu.
La deuxième chose que j’ai remarqué c’est la façon dans lequel ils prononcent les voyelles était tellement différent aussi. Par example quand ils disent “père” j’ai entendu “paere” ou quand ils disent “beurre” j’ai entendu “Baeurre”. C’était comme s’ils ajoutent un “a” avant les “e”. Ça s’appelle une diphtongue.
Le cours a aussi expliqué pourquoi ils utilisent les mots de l’église comme des gros mots. C’est parce que la culture québécoise était fortement influencé par l’église pour des années et malheureusement ils ont pris advantage de leur pouvoir. Ils ont l’utilisé pour manipuler la population et de gagner d’argent d’eux. Le résultat était une grande rébellion contre l’église et les gros mots on sortir de ça.
J’ai vraiment aimé le cours et je le recommande fortement à n’importe de qui, qui veut mieux comprendre le français parler ici au Québec.

It was a bumper year
It was a bumper year.
I saw that the cherry tress were covered with full of cherries.
It was my friend's orchard and I went to there to buy some cherries.
The sun was a good reason of bearing abundant fruit.
Because of the spring drought it hadn't rained for a month.
It has been about eight or nine years since he had planted the trees.
But the trees hadn't yielded well until now.
But the yield was not good until now.
It looked good when I saw the cherry trees with abundant fruits.
He had blueberry trees too.
He had lots of blueberry trees and I bought four trees.
They are growing in my garden now.
But they were still planted in the pot because he said it was not good to plant it on the ground.
He said they need a well-drained soil.
If not, they would be died.
In addition to this good news, I want to say about my fig tree.
Lately I was sure it was dead.
The branches were broken easily.
Actually it was small that it wasn't over my knees.
I neglected it and I found the new leaves sprouting out from the bottom yesterday.
It was already grown about a span long.
I googled it and I found that the fig trees can't withstand the winter.
Some people dig it and locate it in the house and replant it in spring.
I didn't know that because I had lots of things to looking after.
I felt sorry about it so I dug it and replanted it another place where the soil was better.
I think I didn't know anything about the farming when I first planted it.
But now I am relaxed more than then cause I got some experience.
I will do many sort of things as well today.

A Short Reply
After the last lesson, I checked how to express fraction in English, and I totally got it. Before, I didn't have any idea about it. In the last lesson, I was very confused and felt upset when you were talking "fraction", "an (one) eleventh", "two over fifths", and so on. I also heard your audio about the difference in the pronunciation of "fifth" and "fifths". Although the difference is very tiny, I had spotted it. Okay, just let you know about this. The best to you always.

Chicken Fighting
The games I played in the old days.
When I was young, I didn't have any toys because I lived in the countryside where life conditions were very poor.
But I still played many games with other children. All the games are really simple, and the game materials can be easily found in our daily life. Here are some games.
斗鸡(dòu jī) chicken fighting
Children can play this game anywhere, especially in the winter. It will warm you as you play it.
This game is only played between two children. Standing with one leg, using your hands lifting the other leg up to your thigh and keeping it there. You could only move by hopping.
When you fight with someone, use the knee of your lifted leg to knock on the other until they fall down. While you are fighting, you need to hop to change your location and find the best chance and angle to fight them.
I have at least three tips for chicken fighting. One is putting your knee above theirs and pressing them down hard. The second is placing your knee under theirs and lifting them hard. The third one is that when they’re going to jump up and strike you heavily, just know this in advance and avoid them flexibly. These three tips can all lead them to fall down because they will lose their center of gravity.
That is all for today and I will introduce the next one soon.

Filme - II
Mein Lieblingsfilm ist "Parasite". Er ist ein südkoreanischer Film. Der Regisseur ist Bong Joon-ho. Nachdem ich den Film angesehen habe, habe ich wochenlang an ihn gedacht. Er ist ein beeindruckender Film. "Parasite" hat vier Oscars gewonnen.
Ich schaue Filme lieber mit Freunden. Ich mag über Filme mit Freunden diskutieren. Ich esse oft mit Freunden zu Abend, nachdem wir Filme anschauen.

Book - A Shot in the Dark - 79
Summary no. 79
DCI Peplow wasn’t just a man of law, he was one of Britain’s most popular public figures. Just like many prominent people, he pushed a narrative, creating a public image of himself as someone to look up to. So, bringing a whole tv crew when he visited his friend and notorious journalist Harry Jupiter, who was recovered in hospital, was completely in character. Of course, Peplow thought it a good idea—from a PR point of view—to take some shots with Jupiter where the incident had occurred. Peplow could already imagine the newspapers’ titles hailing him as a good man given to “charitable” work. Reporter Ben Oliver, who had been in the room with Jupiter since before Peplow arrived, was enthusiastic about the idea, and said that going there might jog Jupiter’s memory. However, the hospital staff refused adamantly to dismiss Jupiter without authorisation from a next of kin. Being a charming and persuasive man, Peplow had his way eventually. Though, astonishingly, no one cared for Jupiter’s opinion. He dreaded the prospect of leaving his hospital room and venturing out with all these strangers. He resented all of them, he just wanted to rest.

Nuevos Cursos de Ejercicios
Esta mañana leí dos anuncios sobre dos cursos nuevos. El primero fue sobre el fortalecimiento. En ese curso, trabajarás los músculos del abdomen durante treinta minutos. En el otro curso, aprenderás a hacer Kayak. Los dos cursos, me parecen buenos, pero me interesa más el curso de Kayak. El único problema es el equipo de Kayak es muy caro.

How do you make someone feel special with a card?
Writing the words seriously and honestly in the card. The power of words is incredible and amazing. You can use this power with an honest heart.
Your question makes a recall of my memory to me. A girl moved my heart by a simple card with a mail. We are deskmate when we are studying in a junior school. She is a gentle and kind gril and easy to cry by other’s bullying. I am the boy who always against the rule and is naughty, so I protected her every time when she is bullied by others. At that time, I thought she was my good friend even though she had already fallen in love with me.
Time goes by, and we went to different high schools, and there is nothing special happened before I receive a mail from her.
“Hey! ZHOU! You got a mail from a girl.”
“Thank you!”
“Who will write a mail to me in this era that everyone has a phone?” I opened the mail with confusion and I read it.
Dear ZHOU,
How are you today? We don’t have a chat long time, so I can’t stand myself to send this card to you. I am writing this mail with a warm heart. Although I decide to study hard and do not make myself in an embarrassing situation which I need to miss a person every time, I still do it.
I guess you already have a girlfriend? A lot of girls like you, I know that. I guess you have a good academic grade. A lot of effort you do it every day in your daily life. I guess you don’t think I am attractive. I am only a good friend in your heart.
Even though I know this, I want to talk with you. To ask how are you now, what are you doing and so on. Could we hang out on this weekend?
Yours,
Lu
This is an email with love even if it doesn’t refer to any “love”. I feel moved and really appreciated.
I hope this story can help you. If you want to write a nice card, plz take it with love.

Rückgabe einer Matratze
Sehr geehrte Frau Knaller,
Ich schreibe Ihnen um das Missverständnis mit der Bezahlung der Matratze zu klären.
Laut meinem E-mail Anbieter wurde vor einem Monat Ihnen eine E-mail geschickt, wo um eine Rückgabe und um ein Abholungstermin gebeten wurde.
Deswegen ist es jetzt eine Überraschung, dass weder die von Ihnen erwähnte E-mail noch ein Vorschlag des Abholungstermins, sondern eine Zahlungsaufforderung gekommen ist.
Es ist wahr, dass ich mich zwar darum früher kümmern sollte, aber meine Arbeit ist gerade sehr aufwendig und es bleibt nicht viel Zeit übrig für andere Aufgaben. Deshalb bitte ich Sie um Ihr Verständnis und hoffe, dass es noch möglich wäre einen Abholungstermin zu bekommen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Tilax

1er juin 2022 - À quelque chose malheur est bon
Écrivez sur quelque chose que vous trouvez «moche», comme la guerre, la violence, l’échec ou la haine, mais essayez d’y trouver une certaine beauté ou des motifs d’espoir.
On n’espère jamais que les choses mauvaises se passent mais des fois, c’est le cas. C’est inutile d’être triste tout le temps et vouloir que les choses s’arrangent eux-mêmes. Si on ne peut pas changer l’environnement ni la situation, on peut changer notre attitude d’y facer. Quand j’échoue quelque chose, je me dirais : « c’est-à-dire que je pourrais essayer une deuxième fois » ou « je peux le faire mieux la prochaine fois » mais bien sûr je me sens incapable et triste pour quelques heures. L’acceptation est aussi un bon moyen de facer quelque chose mal et imprévu. Mais bien sûr, il faut toujours croire qu’après la pluie, il y aura d’arc-en-ciel.

Что я хочу купить и почему.
Я хочу купить многие вещи. Я особенно хочу купить красивый дом в Англии, потому что в Лондоне и в Бристоле у меня есть родственники и друзья. Я сейчас живу в Австралии, поэтому я по ним скучаю.
Я люблю английскую архитектуру, культуру и кухню. Я ненавижу холодную погоду, но муж рад, когда идёт дождь (я не знаю почему!). Мы тоже хочу жить рядом с Европе, потому что нам нравится путешествовать вместе!

“A pair of scissors”
“A pair of pliers”
Is there any “a scissor” that only has a “single blade” in this world? So as to “a plier”, “a trouser”.
If I have the power to change a few English grammar rules, I want to change this one, and the “third person singular”.
For instance: he “says” she ”smiles”. So far I haven’t found any use of the “s” unless it adds difficulty to learning English.
Learning English at such an old age often drives me crazy. I feel like my head is going to explode. Many grammar rules seem like they don’t make any sense. It has overturned my lifelong cognition of the logic of my mother tongue.
“Red pot”, “red tub made of clay”. I remember them. Thank you very much.
At that time, people in my village worked together as a production team.
Every time people worked, someone in the team recorded their work in the form of “labour scores”
At the end of a year, the accountant in the team counted the “labour scores” for each family. Those families who had labour scores that under the average scores were assigned less grains. Moreover, they needed to give money to those families whose labour scores were higher than the average.
My family’s labour scores were always under the average every year. It was not because we didn’t work hard, the reason was that in my family, only my mom worked. My siblings and I were studying in school, and my dad was working for the local government.
Time flies. In an instant, many years have passed.
My parents don’t exist anymore. My siblings and I are also already getting older.

Initiative
Je ne suis pas une timide personne. La majorité de temps je n'ai aucun de problems à m'approcher de quelqu'un avec que je vais parler. En moment j'ai une copine, bien sûr elle est cool et elle ne me déteste pas mais les choses sont encore bizarre entre nous. Alors ce que je vais dire est que il y a un ambiance gênant quand nous sommes ensemble. J'essaie de l'empêcher mais ça m'énervé une relation peut seulment marcher si tous font quelque chose. La majorité de temps c'est moi qui fais quelque chose, parfois elle m'écrit elle-même mais c'est déja tout. Je sais que tous personnes ne sont pas les mêmes mais je veux au moins qu'elle m'approcher en face à face une fois suffit.
