Today, I did a group presentation in my class. My group consisted of three students and we had to make a presentation in 80 minutes. The topic was Japanese, and we talked about Japanese used in papers and variations of Japanese. It was tough to do such a long presentation. Besides, I was anxious about whether the audience was able to be listening to my announcement while my turn because I'm not used to using an online presentation tool and there was no reaction from them. After all, there was no trouble and we did a good presentation (I hope so), so I'm reassured now.

Vor fast zwei Monaten stoppte ich wegen der Universität Deutsch zu lernen. Meine Unterrichten in diesem Jahr sind vorbei und Ich werde im nächstem Jahr als Assistenzprofessor weiterarbeit. Also kann ich jetzt Sprachen weiterlernen.
Zuerst will ich das Vokabular, das ich vergessen habe, wiederlernen. Inzwischen werde ich, woran ich mich immer noch erinnere, weiterüben. Ich weiß, dass meine Grammatik nicht perfekt ist. Deshalb beginne ich diese Webseite zu benutzen.
Mein Hauptziel in den nächsten Monaten ist es, mein gesprochenes Deutsch genug zu verbessern, damit kann ich es mit anderen Leuten auf VRChat üben beginnen.
Bald werde ich viele kurze Texte, die ich vor zwei Monaten geschrieben habe, für eine Herausforderung hochladen, aber ich will nicht alle auf einmal hochladen denn ich glaube, dass niemand wird sie korrigieren.
Auf Wiedersehen!

I seeded kujo green onions in planters. Kujo green onions are one of Kyoto vegetables. I like eating it with ramen. My dad gave me the seed and soil the other day. I had planters because I had grown parsley on my balcony. It's fun to grow plants. I water them every day. I'm excited to see the growth every morning.

Watched? Like it? Addictive?
In my case I do know this drama got high rating and many people like it.
But when I first time watch the episodes.
I just couldn’t find was that so attractive to watch.
So, I just stop watch.
Actually, this drama was already up to season 3.
Many audiences are expecting season 4!
Last week one of my friends suggest me to watch this drama again.
Since this is a new friend so I will listen to her and watch all 3 seasons.
And I just finish watched the season 1.
Sorry, I have to say that “is good but isn’t excellent.”

Einen Freundin besucht mir und ich muss sie erkläre, wie das Wetter ist und was sie in den Koffer packen soll.
Liebe Carolina,
wie schön, dass du bald hier bist! Ich bin sehr aufregend, dich zu sehen!
Im Moment haben wir ein schönes Wetter hier. Es ist sonnig und die Temperaturen liegen bei 28 bis 33 Grad. Du sollst leichte Kleidung und auf jeden Fall einen Badeanzug mitnehmen! Ich muss dir an einen sehr schönen Strand bringen. Also, wenn du einen Regenschirm mitnehmen kannst, ist es besser. Manchmal kann es am Nachmittag kurzen regnen, aber mach dir keine Sorgen, es ist nicht ein Schauer.
Ich hoffe, du lässt mich dich am Flugahfen abholen!
Bis bald, beste Grüße,
Claudia.

Amigo 1: ¿La prestas atención a la industria de las películas?
Amigo 2: ¿Qué hablas? ¿Los directores, los actores, la producción o algo así?
A1: Significo en general. ¿Por ejemplo, sabes el horario de estrenar para las películas de Marvel?
A2: Lo entiendo. Sí, lo he vigilado porque esas son mis favoritas.
A1: ¿Pero nada más?
A2: Sí, aunque sí miro las películas extrajeras a menudo.
A1: ¿De verdad? ¿Qué es tu película favorita? Me gustan las películas de "Señor de los anillos".
A2: No son películas extranjeras, eran creadas a través de un acuerdo entre estudios en Los Estados Unidos y Nueva Zealand. En lugar de esas, me gusta el género de horror. Mi favorita es "El tren a Busan".
A1: ¿Qué es?, porque he oído que están creando una continuación.
A2: Es una película sobre los pasajeros de un tren que va a la ciudad de Busan. Sin embargo, una enfermedad de zombie lo ha enfermado uno de ellos.

I woke up a bit more than 4 this morning, and could not fall asleep again. I want to use this time to write down what I learned yesterday afternoon. The teacher who taught us is called Tan Yongxiang, and he is a professor working at Yangzhou Vocational University. He has taught the course for new types of professional farmers for many years, and is very famous in farmers' training fields. The lesson content is very plentiful. It takes a whole afternoon. I can’t tell the contents in detail, but I can generally make a conclusion. The lesson is practical, interesting and very interactive. Classmates are all careful. All in all, we had a nice lesson.

I'm so addicted to Instagram. Whenever I'm bored or don't know what to do, I end up looking at Instagram posts. Sometimes I'm not even having fun while I do it, but somehow I can't stop. I tried restricting the amount of time I can use the app, but I use it more time anyway. Maybe I would use my phone less if I had other stuff to do, but I have no clue what to do instead. If I got bored more often and didn't use my phone, I may be able to figure out what to do.
My self control is basically non-existent, but I will do my best to reduce my screen time. I tried it one time, and was able to use it only 2 hours and a half a day, which is not much considering I use it about six hours a day (I wish I was kidding). It didn't last long, but I will try again. I know that I can do it if I set my mind to it.

There's a lot I want to say, but nobody to say it to. I don't see the point in doing any of the things I usually like to do, so I try to vent here, to you my mysterious reader who will probably be as confused reading these lines as I was when writing them.
It reminds me of times when the telephone wouldn't work but for an operator sitting in a room hours at a time, connecting people to one another, discreetly witnessing how communication weaved its web across the world. Maybe we miss that web now and that's what I'm experiencing. We are connected to the rest of humanity all the time but nobody is left to witness it and weigh the significance of that. We have become used to it. It is "normal" to open a page in your website and write something to someone you don't know. So normal we don't even question it anymore. But soon, it seems, so many extraordinary things will have become natural that something will break. I don't know what, how or when. But I know I can't stand how I take everything for granted, and I know I hate that I cannot appreciate everything Man has gone through so that I can sit here and rant about things I know nothing of.
Dear reader, since you are taking the time to correct my few sentences, would you take a little more to ponder on what it all means? It's a huge topic but not much to ask. Should you be curious, enchanted, bored or annoyed by what I'm writing, it will take you a second to think of how this entry will soon enough sink into oblivion, and to think of why. Maybe that's all it will take.

Leider geht die Pandemie weiter. Jeder Tag scheint fast wie die andere. Oft kann ich mich nicht erinnern, an welchen Tag der Woche es ist. Seit April, verlassen wir fast nie unsere Wohnung. Meine Frau kann von zu Hause aus arbeiten, und ich lese gern Bücher. Ich lese viele Bücher, etwa 100 pro Jahr. Oftmals lese ich drei or vier Bücher gleichzeitig. Ein oder zwei Romanen und ein Sachbuch order zwei. Wir haben kein Auto, deshalb lassen wir unsere Lebensmittel geliefert. Fast alles anders kommt von Amazon.

Hej allihopa! Jag har pratat tidigare om de delarna jag verkligen gillade med att bo i Sverige (transportation, de charmiga personerna jag träffade, etc.), men nu tror jag att det skulle bli kul att diskutera delarna jag tyckte var svårare att anpassa mig till. När jag först anlände till Sverige sommaren 2019 så tyckte jag och många andra utbytesstudenter att det var skönt hur ljusa dagarna var - skymningen kom sent ikvällen och gryningen var ganska tidigt på morgonen. I Texas känns dagarna lika långa hela året oavsett om det är sommar eller vinter, så jag tog tillfället att njuta av det perfekta vädret och det bestående ljuset så mycket jag kunde. Vi hade varnats av infödda svenskar att det här inte skulle bestå länge, men jag brydde mig inte om det särskilt mycket. Jag var inte beredd för hur mörka dagarna skulle bli under vintern! November kom och mörkret slog till mig som en lastbil. Jag minns hur deprimerad jag blev och hur min ångest steg till en nivå som jag nätt och jämt kunde klara av. Det finns många saker som jag saknar, men mörkret i Sverige är ju inte en av dem.

Ich lese gern auf r/German. In diesem Sub gibt es eine Menge Materialien, die sehr wertvoll für Deutschlernende sind. Wenn man sein Deutsch verbessern möchte, sollte man jeden Tag unbedingt dieses Sub lesen. Dies Sub ist hauptsächlich geeignet für Anfänger, die ihr Deutsch so schnell wie möglich verbessern wollen.
Das andere Sub, das sehr hilfreich sein kann, ist r/NoFap. Menschen, die süchtig nach Porn sind, kann das Sub für sie ziemlich nützlich sein, um damit aufzuhören.

Caddy Compson is the central focus in the novel “The sound and the fury” of William Faulkner. The point is that she figures only through the projections and memories of her three brothers, which are completely obsessed with her. The Compson’s brothers present point of commonality and deviation, so even if Caddy is the central focus, the brothers offer each time a different perspective, making Caddy a dynamic character.

Geçenlerde Türkçe bir kitap okumaya başladım. Üç hafta önce küçük bir kedi yavrusu edindim. Susamuru (Otter) adı olan kedinin çok mu çok oyunbaz olduğu için sadece onun uyukladığı zamanlarda kitabım okuyabilirim. Her gün kitabın bir bölüm okuyarak bir defterde benim bilinmeyen sözlerimi yazıyorum ve okuyama bitirince kelimeleri öğrenmeye çalışıyorum. Şu yöntemle yavaş yavaş yeteneklerimi arttırmayı ümit ediyorum.
Bundan başka bugün ne yapacağımı karar vermedim. Hava soğuk ve hayli kasvetli olduğu için dışarıya çıkmayacağım galiba. Şimdilik uyuyan kediciğimi izliyorum. Hayat güzeldir.

Wenn wir älter und älter werden, verliert der Korper Kraft und das führt zu Komplikationen die zum Tod führen können. Warum passiert so etwas? Der wissenschaftliche Name für den Prozess ist "Senescence" und es ist ein Ergebnis von akkumulierten DNA Schäden. Jeder von uns hat eine Struktur, eine nicht kodifizierende DNA Sequenz, auf der DNA namens Telomer die vehindert Schäden in dem kodifizierende Teil. Wenn wir älter werden, diese Struktur wird kürzer und unsere DNA ist beschädigt. Wenn du vom Antioxidans hörst, es ist weil diese vom Schäden durch frei Radikale schützen können. Es ist dann sehr wichtig die Telomere zu schützen, aber es ist komplizierter als es aussieht. Bei Krebs zum Beispiel gibt es ein Überschutz sozusagen durch das Telomerase enzym. Die Zelle teilt sich weiter und sterben nicht, was zu Tumoren führt.

Gefährlich ist nur, wenn der Körper nach einer bestimmten Gefahrenabwehrreaktion zu einer normalen Lage nicht umschaltet. Das heißt, dass der Körper ständig auf Daueralarm bleibt. Dieser Effekt hat direkte Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit: unsere Konzentrationsfähigkeit reduziert, wir sind vergesslicher und können sogar unter Verkrampfungen und Verspannung der Muskeln leiden. Aus Stress kann also ernsthafte Krankheiten entstehen.
Gefährdet vom Stress sind aber nicht die Leute, die die größte Verantwortung tragen müssen, sondern diejenigen auf den niedrigsten Hierarchiestufen. Sie melden sich dreimal so oft krank wie ihre Chefs. Hilfreich ist das Gefühl von Selbstbestimmung: Mitarbeiter können den Stress besser bekämpfen, wenn sie ihre eigenen Entscheidungen treffen oder sich seine Arbeit einteilen können.

Vous remarquez dans votre commune une recrudescence des actes incivils sur la route (non respect des limitations de vitesse, des priorités, défauts de stationnement,..) qui mettent en danger les piétons et génèrent de plus en plus d’accidents. Mécontent de cette situation et de l’indéffence de la mairie, vous décidez d’interpeler votre maire pour exiger des actions rapides et vous lui proposez des solutions pour améliorer la situation.
Monsieur Le Maire,
En tant qu’une représentant d’un groupe citoyen de cette ville, je me permets de vous écrire afin de vous faire connaitre ma insatisfaction/mon mécontentement à propos du non respect du code de la route des conducteurs dans notre ville.
Tout d’abord, il me semble que l’augmention sans cesse d’accidents routiers dont les piétons sont les principales victimes. Du fait, les raisons de cette grave situation sont multiples et principalement liées aux actes incivils sur la route tels que non respect des limitations de vitesse, des priorités, défauts de stationnement... qui mettent en danger non seulement les piétons mais aussi d’autres véhicules qui se déplacent en respectant le code de la route.
Ensuite, l’indifférence des pouvoirs publics en général et des polices en particuliers font partie des causes qui rend cette situation de plus en plus mauvaise. La qualité de la ville se détériorie rapidement. D’ailleurs, plusieurs parents ne laissent plus leurs enfants marcher et se promener sur les trottoirs. C’est pourquoi il faudrait des mesures plus strictes pour empêcher ce problème.
Je vous propose pourtant des pistes d’améliorations qui sont envisageables et peu couteux. La première consiste en une prise de conscience politique. Vous pourriez notamment installer Panneau de signalisation d'une limitation de vitesse sur les axes principaux de notre ville, notamment dans les routes où il y a beacoup des piétons. En outre, il est nécessaire d’augmenter l’amende pour les personnes qui violent le code de la route et mener également une campagne préventive pour sensibiliser les conducteurs des conséquences dangereuses issus de leur actes incivils.
En espérant vous avoir convaincu et de nous agir rapidement pour éviter de ternir l’image de notre ville, je vous prie d’agréer, Monsieur Le Maire, l’expression de mes sentiments les plus sincères.

Death Valley is a mystical anomalous area in the valley of the Vilyui river located far in north-east Siberia, on a sparsely populated land where the Sakha people live. Sakha have always known that there are mysterious structures far in the tundra, which they called cauldrons. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, they fell from the heaven with a roar and flame, and since then have slowly sunk into the permafrost. Some of them were the size of a big yurt, shaped like an upside-down cauldron, others much larger, with several levels going deep underground. During a hunt for fur animals, Sakha sometimes stayed overnight in them. It was much warmer inside than in the open air, the walls seemed to emit warmth, especially in multi-level structures, the deeper it was, the warmer it got. But those who spent more than one night there always got sick and died soon. In the middle of the 19th century, a Russian gold digger with a mate and a few Sakha guides roamed this area, looking to pan out sands at the small rivers flowing into Vilyuy. One evening they went out to the hilly area with sparse trees. Pointing at a small mound, the oldest guide said that they were to spend the night there. For the Russians, it looked like a kind of large bump, which are abundant in the local tundra. They usually are formed when the water accumulates under a thin layer of soil and freezes, creating a form of convex lens. But it was astonishing for them to see that its edge had risen above the ground and they could crawl under it to get inside. The whole object resembled an upside-down and slightly inclined bowl covered with soil and grass. During dinner, the guides told to the Russians some legends related to the “cauldrons”, as much as the both sides poor language skills allowed. They warned that in case of suffocation, headaches or nightmares they should get outside and sleep in the open air. But the guys slept well and started to examine their cauldron in the morning. It was made of metal, the hemispherical outer surface was rough, black, and covered with some kind of scale so strong that neither a knife nor an axe could leave any scratches on it. On the brim of the cauldron the metal was smooth, polished, silver colored. It glistened as if it had just been made, and its edge was so sharp, that the gold digger’s mate cut himself running his finger over it. They tried to break off a piece of metal from the edge of the cauldron, hoping that the metal was valuable and could be sold. Eventually they crashed the axe , but there was not a single scratch left on the shiny metal of the cauldron. During their further journey, the gold digger’s mate got sick and died, but he himself got to the town of Vilyuysk, where a government official responsible for public education in Eastern Siberia and enthusiast of exploring this region, wrote down this story from his words and made a sketch of the cauldron. There is also a sketch of multilevel "cauldron", made approximately at the same time, in the second half of the 19th century, according to the description of Sakha elders. Some Russian settler from the southern part of the region possessed an object taken by Sakha from one of the "cauldrons" and exchanged for alcohol. It was a metal object that could cut glass like butter, but it was lost later. Nowadays, or rather in the very beginning of 2000s, the Czech expedition tried to find the "cauldrons", but due to poor technical equipment and lack of funding after one season of searching abandoned this idea. Even today, this area remains completely wild and stretches for tens of thousands of square miles. Sakha people are not nomads any more, they are ruining themselves with drinking and gradually dying out. Most likely, there is no one left who knows the exact location of at least one of the "cauldrons". Apparently, this mystery will remain unsolved, as well as the mystery of the Tunguska event and many others.

The meeting receptionist gave me a bad impression. When I reported on duty, the receptionist seemed like I had nothing to do with them. They were just playing on their phone until I asked them to register. Then I came to the front table to check in, but the receptionist told me that there were no rooms available at the moment. I asked her how long I would wait. She said she didn’t know and told me just to wait until someone checked out. Because there were few chairs in the hotel lobby, I had to go out of the hotel and get around. But unfortunately, it was raining back then, however it was just a drizzle. A little while later, I returned to the front table. They still didn’t have an available room. It was about lunch time. The meeting receptionist told me that I could eat lunch first, and after lunch, I could recheck if the hotel had a room available. In the end, I waited for a long time after lunch before I checked in.
