Place Adverb
The verb "go home" was first used in the 18th century. Presumably used as an abbreviated version of "go to home." Why not think of "go home" as an independent verb?
When I began to study English, this place adverb has given me a lot of trouble to make a sentence. That's why I learned by heart each sentence as an independent verb, I don't know why I have to omit a preposition "to". Even though an English teacher advised that I should have omitted a preposition "to", I still couldn't understand why I had to omit it. The teacher didn't refer to anything like this place adverb, either.
As mentioned above, someone wrote a comment how this the verb "go home" was used, and that was just used as an abbreviated version of "go to home." It's so interesting, isn't it? I can fully understand by tracing its origin now. The comment used "presumably", this meant to say this is still guessing?

Beschwerdebrief - Schreibübung
Hallo Leute,
könnte jemand von euch meinen Brief korrigieren. Es ist kein echter Brief, sondern eine Schreibübung.
Danke im Voraus!
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
nachdem ich Ihr Angebot bezüglich einer privaten Kleinanzeige, in einem Werbinserat gelesen habe, habe ich es in Anspruch genommen. Leider bin ich wirklich unzufrieden mit diesem Angebot, denn dort steht dass, die Anzeige 2-mal in ÖVNachrihten erscheint würde, aber es war ganz anders, da meine Anzeige nur einmal erscheint hat.
Außerdem steht im Angebot dass, meine Anzeige kostenlos im SuperAnzeiger erscheinen würde.
Allerdings musste ich dafür extra bezahlen. Sie haben auch gesprochen, dass in die Anzeige man bis 15 Wörter schreiben kann. Dies war auch nicht wahr, denn in der Anzeige, nur 10 Wörter erlaubt waren.
Letzlich, habe ich erwartet, dass meine Angebot bis 31.12. erscheinen wird. Leider war die Aktion eine Woche früher beendet.
Deswegen möchte ich als Entschädigung, 20% Erstattung meines Geldes. Wenn Sie nichts unternehmen, sehe ich gezwungen zum Rechtsanwalt zu gehen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Quale Superpotere vorrei avere?
La prima cosa che mi è venuta in mente: viaggiare nel tempo. Sarebbe veramente molto potente. Si potrebbe tornare indietro e provare di nouvo quando si sbaglia. In generale si potrebbe impedire cose terribili come i nazisti o altri genocidi.
E inoltre, si potrebbe diventare molto ricco giocando alla loteria.
Sfortunatamente, ci sono alcune cose che complicano la possibilità di viaggiare nel tempo. Per esempio, se si cambia il passato, potrebbe essere che in seguito non si esista più. Una soluzione possibile sarebbe che si creasse un nuovo universo ogni volta che si viaggia nel tempo. Un'altra possibilità sarebbe che il libero arbitrio non esistesse: Anche se si viaggia nel tempo, non sia possibile regolare il proprio comportamento in seguito. Quindi il superpotere non servirebbe a molto.

Седьмая глава книги "Азазель"
Фандорин поехал в Санкт Петербург. Он знал из списка Амалии, что какой-то человек должен взять письмо для "Крога" тем же день. Он ждал у централной почтой и наконец увидел нужного человека. Это Джералд Каннигем, педагог и главный помощник леди Эстер, который взял письмо.
Бриллинг был в Петербурге и Фандорин решил пойти к нему обсуждить расследование. У квартирой Бриллинга Фадорин рассказал всё, что случилось в Англии, а также то, что Джералд Каннигем получил письмо из Лондона. Бриллинг очень удивился, он хорошо знал Джералда. Они решили пойти к нему чтобы узнать больше о деле.
Они постучали в дверь Каннигема и он открыл. Бриллинг очень волновался, и требовался от Каннигема чтобы они пойти в кабинет обсуждить важное дело. В кабинете Бриллинг взял револьвер и выстрелил Каннигема. Потом он нацелил на Фандорина. Фандорин побежал к нему как можно быстрее и они полетели из окна.
Фандорин упал на землю, сел, и осмотрелся. Бриллинг висел на дереве и умерал. Он посмотрел на Фондорина, сказал "Азазель", и умер. Фандорин понял, что Бриллинг был членом террористической организации "Азазель". Фандорин узнал слишком много и у Бриллинга не был нет выбора, кроме убить его.

Krautrock
Diese woche ich habe versuche mehr Krautrock zu horen. Krautrock war ein genre von der 1960s stammt aus Deutschland. Die Musik ist sehr experimentel, das kann für manche unangenehm sein aber mir selbst fand alle sehr interessant. Ich mag besonders das Lied Future Days von Can und Hallogallo von Neu! , beide klingen sehr gut.

Asking for features in Scrivener, an app
I strongly encourage the development team to introduce the keywords feature in the iOS version. Without that, I have to keep my private journal in a different app.
And as a Korean user who writes in Korean and English back and forth, the font support is far from satisfactory. When I do switching between Korean and English inputs that happens quite frequently, the font will be set as the default system font in the course of switching, regardless of my initial choice of fonts. On the other hand, Apple's native apps, such as Pages, have a different mechanism. In that app, when I choose a font that does not have a corresponding Korean typeset, it automatically matches the system Korean fonts according to whether the original one is serif or san-serif. When I switch back to English input, the font will be set as the selected one rather than the corresponding English font of the Korean fonts, as is the case for Scrivener. To maintain the English typeset, I have to choose the font every time I switch to English back from Korean input. If the app handles default Korean (or any other non-Latin language) and English fonts separately, this feature could be more desirable.

Memory Flooding Back
It has suddenly occurred to me that I should write something about Pokemon. I used to be quite heavily into the anime. It was my childhood. After school, I just went straight home to watch the adventure of Ash and his companions. Back then I did not really have any toys to play so a TV was all I had. I once burst into tears after the channel said an episode of my favourite show was postponed. In the 90s, it was so common for us to remember those anime songs' lyrics which we did not even know what they were about. Nowadays we have so many entertainments, much more than before.

"Is Friendship Important?" - An Essay
That's a preparation task for my RNE (Russian National Exam, uh-huh), so I had to speculate on the topic giving my point of view, an opposite one and an explanation why the second one is wrong. Limit - 250 words, so vocab's really poor, but could you just check on very rude and clumsy constructions, something that catches your eye and sounds unlovely?? Thanks in advance!! Oh, and articles. They are my pain.
We all live in a society where we all have to interact with a lot of people. Sometimes we like them so much we befriend them, and these people become our beloved partners for a long time. Some individuals claim that friendship is a thing one cannot live without, while others argue that such form of connection is unnecessary and should be avoided. In this essay I will try to look upon this issue.
To my mind, friendship is an essential part of people's lives. There are some arguments to support my point of view. To begin with, comrades are amazing supporters for a case if something bad happens. True friends always stand by one's side to help. Furthermore, sometimes it is needed for humans to share their thoughts to feel better, and this is what friends are for.
Nevertheless, there are people of the opposite opinion. They think that friends are a burden keeping people down instead of letting them live on their own.
However veracious it sounds, I would not agreee with the above mentioned idea, because existence without comrades would be a hardship for anybody. People who do not understand it have never tried looking past themselves onto persons closest to them.
To sum up, although the problem raised in this essay seems controversial, I would like to point out again that there are different opinions about it, so people are free to choose what is best for them.

¿Qué está pasando en la foto? (2)
Aquí son mis suposiciones acerca de que está pasando en la foto:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/26/learning/whats-going-on-in-this-picture-april-27-2020.html
Al primer visto de la foto, lo que me chocó fue tantos halcones dentro de una casa y los hombres sentado sin preocuparse mucho por su situación. Sus lenguajes del cuerpo me dan la impresión que para ellos no fue para tanto, como un día común en sus vidas. Debido a su ropa y rasgos, diría que son de EAU y están vendiendo los halcones por alguna razón. Sé que hay una tradición y cultura de cetrería (por supuesto no sabía esta palabra andes de escribirlo) en EAU, pero no sé nada sobre de que se trata la cetrería en concreto y por qué hombres estarían sentando alrededor de halcones en una casa.
La respuesta está en el fondo de la pagina (In english).

Ensalada
Me gusta preparar ensaladas muy ricas. Suelo seguir el mismo formato pero hago pequeños cambios para no comer la misma cosa cada día. Por ejemplo, me gusta hacer una base de quinoa (cocido en caldo vegetal) y col rizado. Encima del quinoa, pongo verduras asadas (como trozos de cebolla, batata, o zanahoria) y garbanzos asados (se ponen crujientes pero cremosos al hornear). Al col me gusta añadir verduras frescas como el tomate, aguacate, y brócoli triturado. Para terminar, esparzo una pinza de semillas de chia y linaza. A veces añado un poquito de zumo de limón.
Cómo os dijo antes, me gusta seguir este formato básico pero al final hago las ensaladas con lo que tengo a mano. Por ejemplo, me gusta añadir calabaza asada en el invierno. También siempre busco salsas nuevas o hamburguesas vegetales interesantes en el supermercado. Por ejemplo, el año pasado probé una “hamburguesa” de patata y guisantes con sabor de curry (como una samosa). ¡Con salsa de perejil fue deliciosa en mi ensalada!

Eine interessante Geschichte
Heute habe ich angefangen, eine Geschichte von Goethe zu lesen. Es heißt Goethes Faust, Es war eine sehr interessante Lektüre und eine Anpassung für A2-B1 CEFR niveau.
Ich habe mich gefragt, ob es sich lohnt, so viel zu arbeiten und zu studieren, und das Leben nicht genug zu genißen.
Und wissen Sie, was ironisch ist? Ich habe angefangen, Deutsch zu lernen, so Kann ich noch mehr Arbeiten.....

La biblioteca
Me gusta la biblioteca. Es silencioso y tranquilo. Paseo horas en las filas, mirando los títulos de los libros. La biblioteca es un lugar donde la gente puede reunir y tomar clases, estudiar con otros o relajarse y leer. Para mí, la biblioteca representa las oportunidades que están disponibles si los vemos. Tiene libros de casi cada tema lo que es cada libro es gratis. ¡No necesitas dinero si quieres un libro!

Letzten Sonntag
Letzten Sonntag habe ich mich mit einer kleinem Gruppe meiner Mannschaftsmitglieder getroffen. Wir alle gehören zu dem gleichen Triathlonsverein in Los Angeles und wir feierten den Rückkehr von einem Mitglieder, das wir für ein paare Monate (wegen der Pandemie) nicht gesehen hatten.
Wir haben uns beschlossen, eine Fahrradtour zum Strand zu machen. Weil die Abstandsregeln noch in Kraft bleiben, hielten wir 1.5m Abstand, als wir durch die Straßen Rad fuhren. Am Strand kauften wir Kaffee aus einem offenen Café, saßen wir draußen, und unterhielten uns miteinander. Im Großen und Ganzen war es wirklich eine schöne Zeit!

Weak pleasures
I saw someone's tweet about laziness in our daily life.
People are often tempted by watching TV, SNS, and Net surfing, and lose their time dealing with more important things.
He called them "weak pleasures". In this day and age, you always suffers from such stimuli, consequently, your brain recognizes that your time indulging in them is normal state.
Once you stuck in this situation, it's difficult to get out.
