3 Jahren in Deutschland
Ich habe seit langer Zeit nicht geschrieben, weil ich immer keine Lust habe. Seit 23 Oktober bin ich schon 3 Jahren in Deutschland. Ob das welche Gefühle in mir erweckt hatte, weiß ich ehrlich nicht.
Als ich erst in Deutschland ankam, hatte ich erwartet, dass ich früher an mein neues Leben gewöhnen würde. Es hat letztlich mindestens 2 Jahren gedauert, bevor ich mit allen Aspekten des täglichen Lebens zurechtgekommen war.

Slow is Fast
There is a lyric of a popular song goes: take it slowly, it will develop fast.
I search information and read several pages of a novel. If I take it slowly, I would get more I want to know. On the contrary, if I want to do them quickly, I will become so annoyed that I get nothing.
When I was a senior in college, some of my friends advised me to have a boyfiend. There was a period that my computer was out of control, so I had it fixed. I went to the library in my spare time. I had a walk after dinner every day. Before going to bed, I drew. I felt quite full, but there were still so many things I wanted to do. I started thinking that time was so limited to me even I was single, if I had a relationship, what could I do then?
There are still so many stuff I want to do now, and time is still rare to me. What I can do is chose carefully and take it slowly. "Only do one thing at a time." Slow is fast.

The Movie, Dune
Last week, I saw a movie called Dune.
Its story is based on Dune novel especially a half part of the book No. 1.
The story is about conflict between noble houses and the emperor.
The main character runs away by betraying, and hide with his mother in the desert.
During this trip, many people helps them to escape.
The main character gets through all fear and pain of his inside.
When he finally overcomes them, He starts to realize that he is a Messiah.
The movie ends at this part, so it is a little weird if you don’t know the full story.
Alternatively, I am so impressed the beautiful scenes and graphic.
Background music which is composed by Hans Zimmer who is one of my favorite composers, is also great.
I will watch it again in an IMAX theater if I have a chance.

乙给大家的启发
从前在沙漠上甲和乙种下了一片胡杨树苗。虽然他们的目的是同样的，他们对待树苗的方法差很多。
甲认为经常滋润一片描述是非常重要。他们住在沙漠，天气很干脆，所以那片树苗需要很多水，为了创立很实力的基础。无论刚刚下雨了，刮了狂风或者天气暖和，他一直在滋润他的树苗。
反而，乙滋润他他的树苗比较少次。他认为一片树苗在沙漠需要主动地找水，创立很深的基础。
其他人在农村觉得甲的方法是正确的，因为他一直照顾他的树苗，他会变得很强和长林了。而且，他们不太理解为什么乙滋润那么少他的树苗。经常说”风暴来的时候肯定会坏死乙的树苗”。
风暴结束的那一天，大家都很惊讶，因为甲树苗的样子很差，看不到它的叶和果实。反而，乙的树苗没什么问题。那一刹那乙微微一笑地说: “虽然我滋润我的树苗比较少，我是让他很努力为了存在。因此风暴来的时候，它的基础很强。世界上的人也是一样，如果我们的生活很简单，大问题来的时候人家可以崩溃。然而，那种人吃苦了，他们比较轻易地克服困难”。

Ask the right question!
Finally, I ask the right question and the answers to my question was comprehensive.
First of all, what is my question, secondly what are the right ways to ask such question is?
My question “I want to live in Japan.”
Actually, there so many ways to achieve this goal.
Or, there are too many ways to achieve such goal.
So, I need to narrow down the channels and use the existing resources.
Anyway, after going circle for some time.
Now, I know how to ask this question and I already find some good information.
This dream becomes can becomes a reality.

Uma história
Uma história
Uma história feita com as palavras que aprendi hoje:
O agiota estava lendo, um jornal, um dos quais onde as noticias falsas embaçavam a verdade, no seu quarto, (sei que esta frase fica um pouco pesada; como posso reescrevê-la?) enquanto alguns moços faziam uma molecagem fora da casa. Um dos meninos pegou uma pedra e a jogou para a janela, que rachou com um sonido estridente.
O homem lançou um olhar de esguelha para eles, mas não se retesou para confrontá-los. Estava acostumado já aos arruaceiros que desassossegavam os residentes que moravam na rua. Voltou para perder-se na leitura quando, de repente, viu uma manchete grifada: "O Brasil está vivendo a pior crise económica do século, mas o presidente diz que os cidadãos não deveriam preocupar-se".
Resmungou: "Espichando a mentira mais uma vez." Deu uma olhada para a lombada dos livros empoeirados na estante. Narravam contos do Brasil antigo, quando pessoas íntegras ainda governavam o país.

A letter to a friend struggling with her son.
[Task: a friend of yours who has a problem with her teenage son who has changed dramatically in the last months. He was very communicative, and he's not any longer, he does not help at all, to sum up, he's a dark horse. ]
Dear Martina,
I hope you are well and everything is OK. Sorry, I haven’t written for so long, but I’m very busy these days at work. I’m writing to let you know my perspective, but maybe a better source of information about it would be a pedagogue.
Changes come and go along our growing time. Maybe he is being so rude due to a certain thing that is happening in his life, or perhaps it is just a bad week. Sometimes, when I try to figure out what happens, I’m being too invasive to my daughter. Most of the time I end barking up the wrong tree, and she just needed his space.
On the other hand, my daughter has problems when she needs help. She struggles to try to express his feeling. I think that is a common thing among young people.
Bad behaviour, even from your son, is a way that he has to communicate and “speak out”, in a certain way, his feelings.
Sorry, I hadn’t been as helpful as you need, but I’m in the same dilemma as you.
Drop me a line and let me know how is he doing and if you have found a way to pick up the situation.
Take care,
Papadopoulos.

Princess Mako and Kei Komuro married today. However, many Japanese people opposed this marriage. It's because his mother has some troubles such as debt. When a member of royalty leaves the royal family, they can receive about 130 million yen. However, they didn't receive it. They don't even have a wedding ceremony. They will live in the US.

Italiano tecnologia
Ciao a tutti! Come state?
Ho voluto parlare attorno come la nostra società sono stata influenzata della tecnologia come è ormai una parte cruciale della quotidianità. Sebbene questa dipendenza sulla tecnologia è venuta con entrambi svantaggi e vantaggi. Ma sono le conseguenze dei media in definitiva positivo o negativo? Cosa ne pensate?
Molti di voi avete i social media come Instagram, Facebook o Snapchat. Questi social media ci aiutano rimanere in contatto con amici e familiari da sms, chiamata, o condivisione di foto. Ma questo comporta delle conseguenze di rispetto ad altri. La comparazione costante che social media resiste causa negativi impatti in confidenza, autostima e body image.
L’uso di tecnologia sulla quotidianità aumenta la nostra complessiva produttività, ci aiuterà a essere il più proattivi possibile. Ad esempio si può controllare il conto corrente online, fare shopping online e videoconferenza con i partner commerciali. Tuttavia, questo può portare a difficoltà di scollegamento dal lavoro e causare problemi di privacy violate da avendo tutti i nostri dati personali su internet.
Internet aiutarci imparare e rimanere aggiornati con la notizia e eventi attuali. Potete trovare informazioni e facilmente fare ricerca su niente. Ma dall’altro lato, informazione non è sempre vera… perché’ come false notizie possono essere registrate e anche sprecare ore online.
Internet ha infinite possibilità e offre, ma dobbiamo riconoscere i suoi svantaggi. una dipendenza malsana dai social media provoca aspettative irrealistiche e disinformazione. Credo che la tecnologia sia uno strumento eccellente ma deve essere usato correttamente. Attenzione a usare Internet in modo sicuro!
Alla prossima!

Why Do I Start Practicing Writing? The Second Part
On this entry, can I blame that is because of schools or the environment at where I stay? No, I neither blame schools nor the environments. The reason is the most of time, nativer speakers practically don't use that way we've been taught to speak. Also at the beginning of learning a language, the basis is improtant. And after the schools hand the basic to you, nobody can help you but yourself. Besides we need to interact with native speakers so that knowing how to phrase. Which can avoid us from something like "The grammar is correct, just we don't say like this ".
That's why I started writing entries on here.

汉语分班测试
我长大的时候，我的父母不同意在家里应该说哪一个语言，中文还是英文。因为我在美国长大了，我爸爸怕如果在家里专门用普通话沟通，我的英文就学不好，在班上会落后了。另一方面，我的妈妈硬说我一定要学习中文，因为我们确实是华人，然后如果能说多一个语言，以后会有更多的前途。最后，我跟我爸爸说英文，跟妈妈说中文。可是这样子也学不好中文。一直到我上高中的时候，我都不会认字。进入了高中后，我自己培养了对中文的兴趣，开始上我们学校开设的中文课。但是现在上大学了，所以如果我还想继续上中文课，我要考分班测试。可是还有一个问题。如果只考到课程顺序的第一门课，那我要等到明年才能上，因为这第一门课只有第一个学期开设。我已经错过了这学期的注册期。所以我现在一直在复习中文，希望我可以考到比较高的中文班上。这样，我就可以下个学期上中文课。

Yes, everything is fine for me now. Thank you for your concern.
The seasons in your place always seem to come early because the scenes in your photos only appear in the winter in my place. It's really annoying when the windshield is covered with a layer of frost because it is difficult to clean. I usually turn on warm air to melt it, but this process takes a long time. Your photos are very creative and bring nice enjoyment to people.
Before I read the poem you sent me, I knew of the poet Yeats, but I can't remember whether or not I had read his poems. The poet described a quiet and beautiful pastoral scene in the poem, which is something most people who have lived in cities for a long time crave for.
There were many famous pastoral poets in ancient China and Tao Yuanming is one of them. Let me share with you one of his famous poems.

La vita di un'addetta alle pulizie
Questa è la vita di un'addetta alle pulizie.
La donna si fa in quattro ogni giorno per cavarsela nella vita. Sebbene sia un'altra vittima dell'usura, non osa sporgere una denuncia, pur di non invischiarsi nella melma delle battaglie legali dove i suoi superiori trovano sempre una scappatoia per normalizzare lo sfruttamento dei lavoratori, e subisce invece uno smacco a causa della sua causa fallita. No, deve ingraziarsi i capi, e non scalfire la reputazione di chi le ha dato questo lavoro, sprezzato da molti ma essenziale per lei.
La sua testa è sul punto di svitarsi. Non può già sopportare questo carico, ma sin dalla morte di suo marito, si sforza ogni giorno come il sostengo della famiglia. L'immagine di una famiglia vezzosa non c'è più.
Scaccia questi pensieri dalla sua testa, riprende le tenaglie e rastrella (setacciare, perlustrare?) la zona per trovare degli avanzi di cibo da pappare e cartone da raccogliere. Trova un momento di tregua nell'attorcigliare i capelli, e poi continua avanzando a monte, letteralmente e figurativamente, mentre alcuni membri di una banda la guardano con uno sguardo bieco.
Ci vorrebbero degli anni per superare questo suo scoglio.
Le parole che ho imparato oggi:
attorcigliare
farsi in quattro
smacco
svitarsi
usura
melma
invischiarsi
tenaglia
rastrellare

When I first heard people call dog owners 铲屎官, I was really confused because I was not able to figure out the connection between the two things. Later on, I found out that the pet owners were supposed to clean their pets’ poo when they walk their pets in public places. I really admire the person who invented the word 铲屎官, and I think he or she must be a genius.

“I think it’s partly because the common term for pet owners in China is shit shovelers”
When I first saw this sentence, I couldn’t get it. I thought there was something wrong because I misunderstood the word “shovelers”, which I thought meant people. After I got its meaning, I wanted to analyse its structure. Let me try. The “common term" is subject, “is” is link verb, “shit shovelers” is predicative, “for pet owners in China” is attributive. Then what is the “I think it’s partly because”? Adverbial?

Il più grande enigma della musica italiana....
Noi brasiliani (ma non solo!!!!) stiamo ancora cercando la risposta del mistero:
Perché Marco se n'è andato e non ritorna più?
Perché Laura non c'è?
Perché Marlena non torna a casa?
È davvero un problema che cambierà la vita di molte persone, non credete?
Io direi che è sicuramente cervellotico questo enigma!!!!
(quanta besteira, meu Deus!!!) ahahahaha

Insomnia
Ontem à noite eu não podia dormir. Dava voltas na cama, deitava com os olhos fechados mas não deu conta. Finalmente, tomei melatonina mas não ajudou. Às quatro da manhã eu adormeci.
Quando meu despertador tocou, apaguei-o e continuei dormindo. Eu perdi minha aula da manhã. Isso não é normal para mim.
Em fim. Aconteceu já. Amanhã eu tenho uma prova importante numa das minhas aulas. Porei o despertador no outro lado do quarto para ter que me levantar para desligá-lo.

Flowers
Six months ago, when we bought second-hand furniture, the seller gave us a pot of green plants for free.
We did not take care of it very carefully, just put it in the corner and water it occasionally.
When I was cleaning the home today, I suddenly found that it was about to bloom. I sat next to it and counted the buds, and there were more than 20 buds!
I seem to feel it saying to me " Hi, dear. I have been here with you all the time, you are not alone."
My tears fell, at the beginning of this winter, this pot of free plants are bringing beautiful color to my home.

2021 ACT / Love Young People
In theory I will be retire next year and this 2021 camp is my last one!
Thanks to the lack of new recruitment, I can easily continue this part time job.
Another special meaning about this camp was the district.
I was working in this district for 19 years, but 7 years ago I was forced to another district.
But in my last camp I choice return to this district even now I still feel surprise.
Yesterday, was only the second day of this camp.
The young people already “mouth-fight” and win the senior supervisor.
I love hang out with young people.

writing about my school
Bonjour, je m'appelle James
J'habite dans un grande ville, donc il y a plusiers l'ecoles primaires. Par conséquent je dois choisir ce qui est le meilleur.
Le weekend dernier je suis allé dans une l'école primaire pour voir si c'était bien. Cependant j'ai détesté cette parce que c'était une école pour seulement filles et je suis un garcon.

Fermer la porte le dimanche
Ce qui m'a surprise au début après commencer à vivre en France, c'est le fait que beaucoup de magasin ferment le dimanche. Même Picard, étant une grand surface, s'ouvre seulement dans la matinée et ferme après. Au Japon, roi d'heures supplémentaires, les supérettes sont ouvertes 24 heurs sur 24, and c'est même logique économiquement : si elles sont fermés le dimanche, cela signifie qu'elles perdent des oppotunités pour gagner du profit.
Dans des cours de commerce à l'université, on nous apprnd la notion d'opportunité perdue, c'est-à-dire le rendement perdu à cause des mauvaises décisions économiquement. Le dimanche, il doit y avoir nombreuses personnes qui ont besoin de quelque choses à manger, et perdre du profit possible en raison de la fermeture, cela coresspondait exactement la définition.
Mais au niveau de la santé mentale, je pense que les gens s'y trouvent bien, et en plus ce n'est qu'un petit inconvenient pour les consommateurs. On peut prévoir ce qui est nécessaire pour le lendemen pour faire des achats le samedi, pour protéger du temps en famille des vendeurs, ce qui nous permettra d'epargner notre temps en famille aussi.
On dit que la liberté est primordiale dans notre vie. Pourtant, il faut les régualtions pour nous arrêter de travailler sans cesse, car la santé mentale est plus difficile à visualiser que le chiffre d'affaires. On peut compter le nombre de patients, mais cela va sans dire qu'on doit détecter les patients potentiels avant qu'ils tombent définitivement malades, surtout de fait qu'il y a ceux qui ne peuvent pas se remettre pour toujours après avoir subi telles conditions.
La faiblesse du Japon, c'est qu'on ne peut pas créer des standards. D'autres pays en créent, et on en suit pour s'évaluer. À mon avis, cela ne suffit pas, car le Japon est un pays avec des particularités. C'est un de ceux où des personnes agées détiennent 28.7% de la population, entraînant des soucis sur l'avenir chez les jeunes. On a une marché de travail peu souple, qui a pour cause la grande croissance économique après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, ce qui nous force de travailler des heures supplémentaires, même parfois sans rémunérations. À titre personnel, il faut qu'on établie des régulations nous-même pour nous rendre heureux, comme dérigieant de pays avec le fort viellissement et la vertue de travail acharné.
Mais le problème, c'est que le Japon est un pays insulaire, donc il est difficile de glaner des informations sur d'autre pays sauf qu'on est active à en chercher. En plus, on a tendance à se préoccuper des opinions des autres plutôt que de nos propres sentimens. Si la plupart des salariés travaille sous les conditions pareiles, ils ne se posent même pas des questions sur les conditions dans lesquelles ils sont forcés de vivre.
