Una cosa que he aprendido durante mi viaje de aprendizaje es que la voz cambia mientras se habla en otro idioma. Es algo que me molesta a menudo. Para mí, la manera en que la boca y la lengua se mueven con los sonidos y las vibraciones del español causan dolor en el cuello. Por supuesto, cuando hablo en mi idioma nativo es muy fácil. No me duele nada. Quiero mejorar mi habilidad de hablar en español sin dolor y como todas las cosas... hay que practicar.
Siento que mi voz no es mío ningún más. Es la voz de un extraño. Yo sé que con tiempo este asunto mejorará e incluso si tengo un acento fuerte que mi voz será más natural. Me pregunto si este es un problema que molesta a otros.

Is human nature good or evil? Now I would like to try to give an answer, and that is: in fact, good and evil parts are rooted in human nature. We can neither say that human beings are essentially good, nor essentially evil. The key is what kind of mechanism our society design, and how to stimulate the good part, while suppressing the evil part.
Here I would like to take social media as an example to illustrate how important good mechanism design is in shaping a more benevolent and better environment.
Many people have the feeling that the environment on social media is becoming more and more "toxic". "Toxic" here refers to those trollers and the content which is full of rude, disrespectful and unreasonable. After seeing this content, we want to escape from the discussion because we can't stand such toxicity.

Minha melhor amiga é chamada Rebecca e ela tem 19 anos. Nós conhecíamos desde o primeiro ano da escola.
Nós temos os mesmos interesses, por examplo gostamos de assistir seriés asiáticas ou cozinhar juntas. Nós caminhamos pela cidade ou pelo campo tembém. No passado gostavam de ir ao cinema tabém mas os cinemas estão fechados no momento. Eu gosto dela porque eu posso falar sobre tudo com ela e porque somos tão semelhantes que ás vezes nós finimos as frases da outra. Quando nós não somos semelhamtes em um aspecto, nós nos complementamos. Um outra coisa que é bom dela: Ela cozinha muito bem.

Ich habe einmal an einem Redewettbewerb teilgenommen und als Vorbereitung habe ich ein paar Dinge über wie Mann eine gute Rede halten kann gelernt. Lass mich sofort sagen, dass ich glaube nicht, dass der klassische Tipp, sich dein Publikum nackt vorzustellen, ein guter Weg um Verspannungen zu lösen ist. Witze sind eine bessere Möglichkeit, sich mit dem Publikum zu verbinden, ihnen interessante Fragen stellen auch. Um die Idee zu übermitteln, sind Analogie eine wirklich gute Idee. In der Tat war die Rede des Gewinners des Wettbewerbs vollständig auf einer Analogie mit einem Buch basierte. Auf der anderen Seite, über meine Erfahrung, war die Sprachdauer mein größte Problem, am Ende habe ich zu wenig geredet. Darauf muss man achten.

Vor etwa 500,000 Jahren hat die Beherrschung des Feuers sich verbreitet und danach fingen sowohl Neandertaler als auch Menschen an zu jagen und garen. Schließlich begannen beide Arte zu bebauen. Aber warum sind die Neandertaler ausgestorben und uns nicht? Es ist sehr schwer eine sichere Antwort zu verschaffen. Aktueller Kenntnis nach gab es nur fünf Fähigkeiten, über die Homo Sapiens verfügten und Neandertaler nicht. Sie waren Tauschhandel, die Verwendung von Ocker als Pigment, Bau von Booten, Fische mithilfe Werkzeuge zu fangen, und die Mahlung von Getreide. Könnte es sein, dass Homo Sapiens nur wegen dieser Fähigkeiten den Neandertaler überdauerte? Vielleicht werden wir nie herausfinden, aber wir sind noch hier und ganz allein.

My son's high school graduation ended last week. Parents were unable to attend the graduation ceremony because of the coronavirus. That was unfortunate.
We ate sushi to celebrate my son's graduation at home. It was delicious! We were able to have a fun time.
Our family usually eats sushi or cake when we have something to celebrate. What do you usually eat at a celebration?

1. Ieri ho cominciata a guardare una nuova seria su Netflix che si chiama ‘The One.’ Sin da allora non posso smettere di guardarla. Faccio un sorte di maratona (di serie). É molto avvincente perché ogni puntata conclude con un ‘cliffhanger.’
2. C’è una grande differenza di età tra me e mio fratello.
3. Il mio fidanzato non alcun filtro quando parla. Lo attribuisce al fatto che non è americano e che nel bene o nel male non ha lo stesso senso della correttezza politica che abbiamo noi negli stati uniti.
4. Per la Quaresima ho deciso di rinunciare all'alcool. Non bevo neanche un sorso di vino dal febbraio.

This morning, I cleaned my entrance. There were leaves and sand because I hadn't clean there for a long time. Worst of all, there was black mold on the corner of the wallpaper. I guess this is because the entrance is not well-ventilated and often gets moisture by dew condensation from the metal door. I removed the mold using mold killer. I have to clean up where easily gets moldy regularly from now on.

This picture has just been taken from the southern window of my office. The scene in the picture is what looks outside the window. You can see a road in the middle of the picture and it is called Yinghuai boulevard. Also, you can see a river right along the road, which is Zhongqing River. As you can see, along the road and the river, there are many green trees and lawns. On the left side of the road, there are several tall buildings. Apart from one building called Langyue Hotel, the rest are residential buildings belonging to Baolong City Square. Also, on the right side of the road, you can see several tall buildings, which are residential buildings called High-speed Time City. The location where the picture was taken can be counted as urban areas of Fuyang city, and basically it can represent the appearance of this city.

Postkarten verderben immer Eriks Urlaub. Letzten Sommer fuhr Erik nach Italien, wo er ein Museum und einen Park besuchte. Ein gastfreundlicher Kellner brachte Erik ein paar Worte Italienisch und lieh ihm später ein Buch. Erik las ein paar Zeilen, verstand aber kein Wort. Der Urlaub ging so schnell vorbei, aber Erik hatte noch keine einzige Postkarte an seine Freunde geschickt.

Faut-il préserver les droits des autochtones ou privilégier la protection des animaux contre la chasse? Telle est problématique soulevée par un article du site theartic.is et un autre du journal quotidien “Libération”.
Tout d’abord, plusieurs organisations et associations ne font pas consensus sur ce problème. Certaines comme Le Front de Libération des Animaux ont combattu la chasse aux phoques et aux baleines en expliquant que la chasse n’est pas une seule solution pour que les peuples autochtones puissent survivre et qu’il faudrait faire particulièrement notre attention sur la nature. D’autres telles que Greenpeace ou les gens du Grand Nord ont trouvé que ces animaux étaient non seulement les ressources alimentaires principales des tribus mais aussi le symbole de leur culture et les moyens nécessaires permettant de subvenir à leurs besoins quotidiens.
D’ailleurs, il est difficile de distinguer l’exploitation des animaux à des fins de subsistance de celle à but lucratif. En outre, la baisse du nombre des animaux s’explique également par de nombreux autres facteurs tels que le climat qui est très rigoureux, les maladies et la chasse des Blancs, etc.
En conclusion, ce conflit oppose les tenants du maintien de la culture traditionnelle à ceux qui estiment qu’il est plus important de protéger les animaux. Nos deux textes prennent leur parti.

In an elementary school which I teach Japanese, we hold a test at the beginning of the grade every year.
This test is called DLA: Dialogue Language Assessment.
We hold the test to foreign children in elementary schools and junior high schools and assess the Japanese proficiency of each child by it.
Depending on the results, we decide to support each child or not and the way we support them.
That's so important.
We have the manual which shows the way we hold the test.
But I get nervous a little bit when I do a tester.
Because I have only a few opportunities to do the test!
So I try to practice with my language partner.
As I want not to be rude, I'll explain about the test.
1. We assess the Japanese proficiency of each child by dialogue.
2. Depending on the results, we decide the way we support children.
3. While the test, I'll talk to you as if you were a 6 years old child.
But I don't regard you as a child.
I'd like you to forgive me.
4. I have to ask you about your birthday or your friends' name while the test.
But you don't have to tell me the truth.
I wonder if he would understand and accept it?

Na Gronelândia, existe um grande manto de gelo. Em partes do manto de gelo, existem buracos sazonais, chamados "moulins." Este fluxo de água pode afetar o movimento de geleiras terminais nas margens do manto de gelo. Canais subglaciais são um mecanismo importante do derretimento do manto de gelo.
O lago Vostok é o mais famoso lago subglacial do mundo, mas lagos subglaciais tambem existem na Gronelândia. Há uma grande variedade de fluxos e sistemas de drenagem subglacial.

Hoje eu estudei português de um outro jeito porque acho que eu devo praticar falar e entender mais. Eu estou um pouco desapontada comigo porque achei que meu português melhorou nesses últimos dias porque eu consegui entender quase todo das episodiós de True Blood que eu vi mas na verdade eu não consigo formar frases muito bem e aí ficei triste. Eu espero o melhorar mas para melhorar eu tenho que falar e isso é muito difícil para mim. Talvez eu já sei as regras e palavras suficientes mas o problema verdadeiro é minha mente. Eu estou com medo de fracasso e de me embaraçar em frente de outros. E então eu não consigo melhorar e fico invejosa de outras pessoas que aprendem línguas facilmente ou pelo menos se desafiam tentar de falar.

Κάθε Δευτέρα στις πέντε το απόγευμα έχω ελληνικά μάθημα. Την Τρίτη πάντα ξυπνάω νωρίς, στις οχτώ παρά είκοσι πέντε το πρωί. Το βράδυ συνήθως κάνο σπορ. Την Τετάρτη πότε πότε πάω βόλτα το απόγευμα. Την Πέμπτη μερικές φορές βλέπω τον φίλο μου. Την Παρασκευή γράφω ένα βιβλίο και πάω για ύπνο πολύ αργά. Το Σάββατο καμιά φορά πάω για ψώνια το μεσημέρη. Το απόγευμα πολλές φορές τρώω έξω. Την Κυριακή στις δύο το μεσημέρη σχεδόν πάντα τρώω μεσημεριανό στο σπίτι με την οικογένεια μου.
