Job étudiant
Pour des raisons économiques, de nombreux étudiants sont contraints chaque année de concilier leurs études avec un “job étudiant”. Cela est-il ou a-t-il été le cas pour vous? Pensez-vous qu’il est possible de travailler et d’étudier en même temps sans qu’une activité nuise à l’autre? Conseillez-vous toutefois à un(e) futur(e) étudiant(e) de chercher un petit “job”, de travailler pendant ses études?
Ma chère Pauline,
Merci beaucoup pour ta dernière lettre qui m’a fait bien plaisir. Je vais tenter de répondre à tes questions et de te donner quelques conseils. Je sais que tu rencontres quelques problèmes financiers et tu veux trouver un “job étudiant” afin d’aider tes parents à payer tes études. Selon moi, il s’agit d’une bonne idée mais tu devrais également prendre garde quelques inconvénients qu’apportent ce pratique.
Tout d’abord, il est indéniable qu’avoir un job a l’avantage d’être vraiment une expérience enrichissante pour toi. En effet, lors de ton travail, tu pourrais faire face à de nombreux problèmes et obstacles que tu n’a jamais rencontré auparavant. Cela t’aide à acquérir de nouvelles connaissances ainsi qu’à être dynamique. Comme moi, maintenant, je suis en train d’être une serveuse d’un restaurant francais. Grâce à cela, je deviens plus confiante en confrontant des situations difficiles et j’améliore aussi mon apprentissage du francais d’une manière efficace à travers des conversations avec des clients étrangers.
De plus, cela constitue une bonne chance pour élargir naturellement ta relation sociale. Autrement dit, rencontrer de nouvelles amis, apprendre et échanger les expériences avec les seniors, etc tout cela te permet de favoriser non seulement ta relation mais aussi ta communication sans recours à des applications de rencontre pour se faire des amis.
Pourtant, il ne faudrait pas consacrer beaucoup de temps à ces travaux. Tu devrais te rappeler que ta mission principale et cruciale est d’étudier à l’université. En fait, quelques étudiants ont du mal à concilier leurs études et leur travail en même temps parce qu’ils travaillent trop, cela provoque de mauvais résultats ainsi que de mauvaise santé. Il me semble qu’étudier au collège est plus important que travailler pour un étudiant parce que cela nous permet d’accéder facilement au monde du travail où on peut trouver un emploi stable avec un bon salaire.

Daily Diary: some struggles and balderdash
I always have some thoughts in my mind but seldom to do them and make them realize. Just like settlling down the diary this time. Finally I decide to do it. I even don't exactly know how to spell 'diary', and I first spell it into dairy. But through this way I've learned a new word, it's not bad, right?
To make my helpers know what contents this diary mainly about, I 've learned other word 'balderdash'. Although I don't whether it is suitable for my title.
During this time, I seem to be stuck in a situation that I can not persuade me to accept myself. I always tell me that focusing on right now and your own life. Do not pay attention to others. But sometimes I just can not control myself, and I will record something I'm jealous of. I know that's not right and I also want to change. However, some things seem to be magic and I think I can not get rid of them. To fight with something bad in mankind's nature and overcome it, that maybe what we different from animals.

Voyager.
J'ai voyagé par tout le monde, je connais de nombreux pays, des endroits merveilleux. D'habitude on pense que la beauté est toujours loin de nous.
Par contre, je crois que le plus belle endroit que j'ai connue se trouve ici, près de moi.
Je me souviens d' un voyage que j'ai fait quand j'étais petite, á la Ville Enchantée.
Je croyais être dans un autre monde, sur une autre planète, tout pleine de pierres aux formes extraordinaires.
Alors, c'est peut être, que si je l'avais connue de plus grande, je n'aurait pas été aussi impressionnée.
Je courrais sur la route en attendant qu'un dinosaure apparaisse.
J'ai visité le parc un jour d'hiver en semaine, il y avait peu de monde, ce qui a contribué à faire de cet endroit un rêve pour un enfant des années soixante.

There is no perfect app – and you will not create it either
Maybe you know that feeling: You have a recurring problem that you need some help with. Say, you want to plan and track your personal goals. If you're like me, you go to Google and type in the search term "goal app" and check out the first few results. You might also ask round your friends and get some recommendations from them. You download a few of the recommended apps and have a bash at them just to find out quickly that each only solves a fraction of your problems. Frustrated, you decide that you don't want to put up with the shortcomings of all apps. And if you're a programmer like me, you might also have a propensity to say: "Ah, I can create the perfect app for that problem" and start jotting down the features you want that app to have. Months of work later you're still struggling with some basic programming problems, and you did not work on your goals - your original problem - at all.

An Examination
This weekend, there was a big exam: The Common Test for University Admissions. This test is used for university admissions, and most candidates should take this one because all public universities need this test score. Candidates also take an exam of their university as their second test, which is held in February or March, but both are important. Usually, candidates study past exam questions and prepare for a test. Starting this year, however, this test's trend has been changed, so they couldn't do so. It was a poor thing.
Besides, In Japan, you can enter a university even if you failed the entrance exam last year. If high school students fail a test, some of them choose to study for one year and try again. They are called Ronin, which word means a samurai who doesn't have his master and lead a vagabond life. Ronin's life is filled with studying, so it's hard and under pressure.

Arte
Hoy fui a una exhibición muy interesante sobre Van Gogh. Antes de ir al museo, solo conocía algunas obras: la noche de estrellas, su cuarto, unos autorretratos y los girasoles. Hoy vi por primera vez sus paisajes y La Viña Roja. Mientras me enfoqué en la textura de la pintura y los colores, me di cuenta de que no he dibujado en mucho tiempo. Puede ser pereza, o tal vez las páginas blancas son abrumadoras.

Paraphrasing activity
Original
The young of ground-nesting warblers produce begging cheeps of higher frequencies than do their tree-nesting relatives. These higher-frequency sounds do not travel as far, and so may better conceal the individuals producing them, who are especially vulnerable to predators in their ground nests.
Paraphrase-1
Even though the offsprings of ground-nesting warblers produce high-frequency begging cheeps, they are less likely to be encountered by a predator as the sound do not travel much.
Paraphrase-2
Although ground nestling young warblers generate a higher frequency of begging cheeps than tree nesting birds, they stay safe since the sounds travel little. Therefore, predators unable to recognize the sounds of ground-nesting warblers.

Do you enjoy watching movies? Have you felt that the characters or situations in a movie presented a lesson about how you should act, talk and look; or that movies taught you about the relationships you should cultivate or the values you should have?

Video games are also very distractive and it causes ADD “Attention deficient Disorder” which weakens your attention. What happens when you play for a lot of hours. Because if you play for hours, how are you supposed to concentrate on your stuff? How are you supposed to concentrate on your quizzes? How are you gonna have a good future/college? How are you going to end up working to earn money?
Paraphrasing
• One of the detrimental effects of video games is ADHD which means spending more hours on computer games and less time on academics. As a result, children are losing their focus on their education and their long-term goals.
• Video games distract children from paying attention to their education since they spent hours on it and less likely to study. Consequently, losing their interest in a career or a college degree.

According to the data, although the satisfaction rate of the “simulation robots” is as high as 98%, the penetration rate has not been high and the specific reasons are also very realistic.
First, the price of the robots is too high! According to the author’s understanding, an ordinary version of intelligent robots can be as high as 100,000 yuan, while the customized version of the simulation robots is as high as several hundred thousand yuan, so the simulation robots are also called “the poor can’t afford it, the rich don’t need it” series!
Second, robots are “artifacts" after all! Although the simulation robots are very functional, it is a product of science and technology after all. No one can replace a real person, and it can’t “have children”, even higher than an ordinary bride's price, so many small partners can only stop looking.
So, in the face of such highly intelligent Japanese “simulation robots”, will everyone be excited? Welcome to talk about your opinion!

1984 (parte 1)
Hoy empezó a leer el libro "1984". Fue escrito por George Orwell hace mucho tiempo. Lo que me interesaba más es el idioma, que se lo llama "Newspeak". Ya lo he leído en el libro "En el mundo de los idiomas inventados". De verdad, opino que es una idea loca. Lo basó de ideas comunes a la vez. Sin embargo, estas ideas comunes no eran correctas, y lo saben los científicos. La idea principal era que el idioma en lo cual hablamos controla nuestros pensamientos. ¿Suena un poco familiar? Tenía una pequeña influencia en la teoría Sapir-Worf.
Así que Newspeak se creó para demostrar cómo nos pueden afectar nuestros idiomas. En la historia, la gente del país en que el personaje principal vive (no puedo recordar el nombre) no puede pensar en pensamientos originales fácilmente. Este fenómeno tiene que ver con el idioma, ya que no tiene las palabras necesarias para expresarlos.
Dos oraciones con "tocar + infinitivo".
1. Te toca ir al banco para depositar el dinero.
2. Le toca firmar el contrato. ¿Está listo?

Today’s topic: Japan launches “Wife Robots” which has a beautiful face, realistic, and three major functions.
First of all, it’s “custom function” you should know that the appearance of simulation robots itself is designed and produced by imitating the characters in models and animations, and its appearance is already very beauty, however, the so called “radish and vegetables have their own love”, so the COCORO robots research institute in Japan has launched the robots “appearance customized” service, which can be customized whether it is hot or elegant!
Secondly, it is the “practical function” of the simulation robots, which is not a “toy” as everyone understands it, but its practicality is also very strong. Because the internal structure is made by simulation, the robots have mechanical hands and legs, which can work slowly and do some simple housework, such as cleaning, washing dishes, which brings many surprises to the users.
Finally, it is the “companion function” of the robots! The Japanese “wife" robots are not only in beautiful shape, but also made by high-grade silica gel on the outside and equipped with a constant temperature system inside, so it feels realistic to the touch. Not only that, the robots are equipped with the latest AI intelligent system, which can realize barrier-free dialogue. Just like a humanoid computer, it can help users search for answers, answer questions, and even play games together. The most important thing is only to listen to the instructions of users.

Une Île de Rêve
Si je vivrais avec des amis dans une île de rêve, je m'amuserais beaucoup. J'habiterais dans une grande cabane dans les arbres avec mes amis. J'aurais ma propre chambre avec un paysage de la mer. La cabane aurait les pontes pour connecter les chambres différentes pièces. Tous les jours, on se lèverait pour regarder le soleil se lever. On cuisinerait un petit-déjeuner et on mangerait sur le balcon. Après, je surferais tout le matin. Pour déjeuner, je marcherais à la ville où j'achèterais des fruits et de pan. Pendant le après-midi, je lirais ou marcherais sur la plage. Toutes les nuits, mes amis et je aurions un fête à nos cabane avec le dîner et la musique. Beaucoup de personnes viendraient et danseraient. Ça serait très amusant! Et le prochain jour, on pourrait le faire encore.

Due lati della stessa pianeta
Oggi, andiamo ad una festa giapponese a Melbourne. Oggi più che mai mi sento vivere dall’altro lato della pianeta. Quando noi abbiamo il nostro secondo Lockdown, l’Europa stava uscendo del suo e godendo della libertà (relativamente parlando) e l’estate.
Ma adesso è il contrario. L’Europa sta soffrendo e qui a Melbourne possiamo festeggiare (con limiti e codici di QR). Alle volte ho ancora paura del virus, sopratutto adesso perché ci sono giocatori di tennis in quarantena con il virus. Sono venuti per il Australian Open, ma nessuno qui vuole questo. C’era uno scoppio a Sydney e Brisbane e la gente dello stato di Victoria che sono andati a questi luoghi sono proibiti di rientrare in Victoria. Ma lassiamo entrare i giocatori?
Comunque, non vogliamo tornare in Lockdown per mesi. Non ho visto la mia famiglia per più di tre mesi perché non si poteva viaggiare più di 5 chilometri. Quindi vado oggi con apprensione.
C’è una mia amica che suona oggi e voglio appoggiarla dopo mesi senza la possibilità di guadagnare soldi. Nel frattempo, spero che il virus non scoppi dalla quarantena e possiamo vivere con pochi casi fino alla vaccinazione del popolo australiano.
