Coronavirus Risk Causes Chain of Stock Drops, Nikkei index Down by 200
The global financial market is wavering with coronavirus outbreak. The Dow Jones Index on the 27th declined by 453 points, marking the largest drop in three and a half months. The chain of stock market drops continued on as the Japanese Nikkei index dropped by 200 points. The Asian stocks, crude oil, and nonferrous metal prices have fallen as well.
Risk-free assets such as national debts were マネーが向かった. With the fear of a global recession, the investors are avoiding the risk. Dow Jones ended the 27th at 28535.80, marking 5 consecutive days of price drops since August 2018.
“The pressure of selloff is too strong with more trades (商いを伴った下落?) …” said David Lutz, managing director of ETF at Jones Trading. FTSE 100 on the London stock exchange fell to a low first time in a month and a half. Stocks of certain companies whose performance is almost certainly anticipated to affect the prices were targeted by the short-sellers. Major airline company KLM’s stock prices dropped as much as 6% on the 27th. The number of passengers is expected to decline in the mood of abstaining (refraining from? avoiding? ) traveling due to the outbreak.
As the Chinese government banned citizens from booking overseas tour groups, the reduction of an ‘inbound consumption’ is anticipated. The largest conglomerate on luxury brands LVMH’s stocks also hit the low for the first time since December.
With the decision of extending the Lunar New Year holiday, the concern towards the manufacturing industry including high-tech was also noticeable. A large number of American corporations depend on China for manufacturing and supply of goods and parts.
“If the factories remain shut down, the effect on the supply chain will not be negligible”, said Tim Grisky, Chief Investment Strategist at Inverness Counsel. Apple stocks declined by 3%.
At the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the 28th, Honda’s stocks, whose joint factory in Wuhan is responsible for half of their Chinese manufacturing, dropped as much as 2%. Semiconductors and machinery, whose stocks are contingent on the prospects of the Chinese economy, were under a selloff as well.

My childhood
Whenever I look back at my past,friendships come in my mind first. Those friendships were much more valuable than what I am having right now.Also the time I've spend with my childhood friends would popped out of nowhere when I am drunk or sad.Being an adult really does suck.It makes me even more cherished those moments I spend with them.But here I am dealing with existential crisis on a daily basis,I truly feel that life is meaningless and whatever I do doesn't matter in the end.But I think those little moments I have had with them is rather meaningful even than my first kiss.Yes,they are alive and well but you know,we don't have much time as we used to.Plus being adult comes with much more responsibilities which is exhausting.I don't even know what I am bragging about.

Interesting Facts from the Filming of 'Titanic'
The cost to construct the original Titanic was around 150 million dollars. The cost to produce the film was 200 million dollars. The film was initially called "Planet Ice." James Cameron has spent much more time with the Titanic than its passengers spent aboard the ship. The film set was constructed south of Rosario, Mexico. Cameron drew all of the pictures in Jack's sketchbook. "Titanic" was the first film to be released on video while it was still showing in cinemas. After filming, the ship's remains were sold as scrap metal.

Trump Disputes Bolton’s Tell-All Book
President Trump at a press conference in White House on the 27th told reporters that the claim former national security adviser, John Bolton, made in the manuscript of his upcoming book regarding President’s ties to Ukraine is “completely wrong”.
He also tweeted writing, ”…If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book.” According to the New York Times, in August 2020, Bolton was told by Trump that military aid for Ukraine will be terminated until the U.S. receives cooperation on 不正疑惑の調査 (the investigation of alleged fraud?) related to the Democratic presidential candidate and the former Vice President, Joe Biden.
The Democrats are arguing that seeking information in return of military aid is an abuse of power, in which case if the claim turns out to be true, Democrats’ arguments will be supported (?) (主張を裏付けることになる)
Some Republicans are now claiming that there might be an increasing pressure for Bolton to testify at the impeachment trial. According to the U.S. media, senator Mitt Romney said that it’s “increasingly likely” that enough Republican senators would join with Democrats to support calling former national security advisor John Bolton as a witness.
However, on the 27th, Lindsay Graham, a Republican senator pointed out that it is important “to see what’s in the manuscript”. He also stated that Biden’s son, who has been claimed by Trump to have made 不正に利益（？）in Ukraine, should be called as a witness as well, in case Bolton is to testify.
In order to call on a new witness to testify, the senate requires more than half of the votes to win. In a 100-seat chamber with 53 republicans, for Bolton to qualify as a witness, a minimum of four senators must revolt against its party.

日記（第３８番）：シンガポール
私はシンガポール人なので、この国を紹介しようと思います。赤道であるので毎日も暑いですが、１０月から３月ごろは雨季ので、雨がよく降って、気温がちょっと下がります。四季がないので、雪を見たことがありません。そして、人種が多いです。例えば、中国人やマレーシア人やインド人です。そんなほどに多くて、人種差別があるのではないかと思っていたら、意外とありません！みなさんは大体英語で喋って、人種が混ぜて、平和に生活しています。こちらの食料も特別で、美味しくて、シンガポールに来たら、是非試してみてください。例えば、チキンライスやラクサです。はい、ここまでに書きます。読んでくれてありがとうございました！

Ode à mon aire de jeux
Quand j'etais petite mon famille allions à une grand maison au champ en vacances. Ici, nous avions beaucoup d'espace pour jouer et il y a une balançe aussi. La maison appartenait à mes grandparents, mais récemment ils vendaient ça. Je souhaite que les nouveaus propiétaires aiment-ça comme je faisais.

Today's event
I have tried to make English sentences almost every day and have them corrected here. When I read the explanations, I thought I understood them, yet I make the same mistakes in making sentences. I'm wondering if it's a matter of getting used to using those words.
At the office, I got a phone call from an overseas customer today. She and I have exchanged emails almost every day and it was the first call from her. I was too nervous to speak well in English. I stuttered several times. After I hung up the phone, I drank a hot coffee with milk to calm down. I attended language exchange meet-ups many times to practice English with foreigners so far, but I think it's of no use if I can't use my English skills at work.
I think it's better to improve how I have conversations with foreigners.
When you meet foreigners, what kind of topics do you speak?

Züruck zum Deutschkurs
Morgen fange ich wieder mit dem Deutschkurs bei der Arbeit an. Diesmal habe ich mich zu einem B2.2 Kurs angemeldet, weil es keinen verfügbaren B2.1 Deutschkurs gab. Es wird eine große Herausforderung, aber ich denke, dass ich es schaffen kann.
Ich habe mal gelesen, dass Leute, die eine Sprache lernen möchten, schneller Fortschritt machen, wenn in einem höheren Niveau Sprachunterricht, im Vergleich mit ihrem derzeitigen Niveau, angemeldet sind.
Ich werde das in den nächsten Monaten herausfinden!

Mijn Dag
Er is en station dicht bij mijn huis.
Elke dag, fiets ik van mijn huis naar de station.
Daar, parkeer ik mijn fiets en neem de metro naar mijn kantoor.
Ik werk de hele dag en dan terug naar mijn huis.
Eindelijk, kook ik mijn avondeten en slaap.
Soms, en het avond, ga ik uit en onmoet mijn vrienden.

Coronavirus
In Japan, two more people were confirmed infected with the new coronavirus today. This makes a total of six people. One of them has never been to Wuhan, according to the article. He is a bus driver who drove for tourists from Wuhan.
I will wear a mask outside the house from tomorrow. I hope the situation gets under control as soon as possible.

尊敬する有名人
警告：この文章は風刺です。
私が一番尊敬する有名人はアメリカの大統領であるドナルド・トランプだ。ニューヨーク出身で、現在のアメリカの大統領として仕えているトランプは数を切れない勝利がある。
彼の効果的なスタイル、相手に厳しい態度を通して色々な実績ができた。金正恩の敗北からしてドナルド・トランプの力は容易に見える。戦争を希望していた金正恩はトランプと初めて出会ったときの後に戦争を希望するのを急にやめました。
海外の敵だけではなく米国にもたくさん敵がいるトランプは今まで一度も負けることがない。マスコミによく出版されたフェイクニュースがあっても、トランプが一個のツイッター投稿で敵をすぐに全滅する。いつも「次の敵をどの程度まで全滅させるべきでしょうか」と考えるらしい。厳しいからと言っても優しくないわけではない。例えば、自分に優しくてゴルフをしに行くのに沢山の休みをとるそうだ。
優れたビジネスマンからテレビタレントまで人類の代表的な最強の男であるトランプは何でもできると思います。勇気なるトランプの強さ、燃ゆる情熱的なスタイル、問題を容易に解決する才能が本当に尊敬できる。

나의 월요일
월요일에 학원에서 갔다. 보통 오전 9시30본 시작 하지만 오전 9시30분대신에 오전 11시30분 시작했다. '-(으)ㄹ 것 같다' 문법 검토 했다. 오후 1시에 수업 끝나서 편의점 갔다. 스트링치즈를 먹고 기다렸다. 오후 2시에 버스로 녹사평역 갔다. 요기에 내 남자친구 만나고 같이 식당 근처에 걸었다. 내 친구가 '엘피노323' 추천했는데 '바토스'에서 갔다. 우리가 많은 먹었다. 내 남자친구가 음식을 괜찮은 생각했지만 나는 너무 먹있는 생각했다. 음식 먹은 후에 작은 카페 갔다. 이 카페도 너무 맛있다. 카페인 때문에 요즘 커피 마시고 싶지 않지만 다시 가고 싶다. 카페 떠나후에 내 남자친구가 피시방 가는 추천했다. 나는 피시방 간 적이 없지만 한국에서는 조금 오래만 시간 살고 있었다. 나는 3시 동안 Stardew Valley 게임했서 너무 재미있었다. 나는 집 갔으면 게임 더 했다. 목요일에 우리가 다시 만나서 새로운 카페와 다시 피시방 갈 것이다.

Ein bisschen über meine Erfahrung in Deutschland
Ich wollte ein bisschen auf Deutsch schreiben, weil ich das Gefühl habe, dass ich langsam mein Deutsch vergesse. Ich habe ein Jahr in Deutschland gelebt bei einer Gast Familie, es war eine ganz intensiv Erfahrung. Ich wohne in Brasilien, aber meine Eltern kommen aus Portugal, deswegen, habe ich gedacht, dass Deutschland gar nicht so anders für mich sein würde – weil ich auf einer Portugiesischer Schule gehe und besuche oftmals Portugal – aber Überraschung: die Deutschen sind gar nicht wie die Portugiesen.
Es war für mich hart genug in der Schule freunden zu machen (ich kann aber doch sagen, ich rede noch mit einer von den zwei Freundinnen, die ich in der Schule gemacht habe) and noch harter mich zu Hause zu fühlen. Ich war bei einer Gast Familie, wo alle Vegetarier sind und mit dem Essen konnte ich Überhaut nicht umgehen. Ich habe immer mit meiner Gast Mama und Papa geredet und das vermisse ich. Ich hatte auch zwei Gast Schwestern, aber sie waren mir viel zu unterschiedlich und oft hatten wir nichts aber "small talk" miteinander zu teilen.
Ein Jahr ist so schnell gegangen und jetzt bin ich schon 7 Monate zurück in Brasilien. Ich wunder mich immer noch, ob ein Austauschjahr zu machen eine gute oder schlechte Entscheidung war. Natürlich, jetzt kann ich Deutsch sprechen aber ich weiss es nicht, ob es sich lohnt. Ich glaube es wäre vielleicht für mich besser, wenn ich in Brasilien geblieben hätte, damit ich richtig die Schule abschließen könnte. Ich rede selten mit meiner Gast Familie weil sie ganz wenig das Handy benutzen.

最も恥ずかしいタイプミスした時 (〃ﾉωﾉ)
これは高校生時代の話ですが、まだ思い出せます。英語のキーボードでは「ｔ」と「ｙ」は近いですよね？むしろ、隣ですね？なので、その字をタイプミスしやすいです。僕は特に早く入力するときに、時々その二つのキー（両方？）を打ってしまいます。さて、恥ずかしい話に戻りましょう。
久しぶりに話さなかった女性の友達とチャットしました。最初はこれを書きたかったです：「Hey, it's been a while. How has it been going? Are you still busy?」(久しぶりだね！元気？まだ忙しいの？）しかし、残念ながらこれを入力してしまいました：「Hey, it's been a while. How has it been going? Are you still busty」（久しぶりだね！元気？まだ巨乳がある？）
その文章を送ったとたんタイプミスを気づいたんです。そのチャットには編集機能もなかったし、友達も「開封済み」だったし、「ヤバイ！直さなきゃいけない！」と思って、早く「busy*」と付きました。友達は「なにそれ？女性の胸は急にぱーになっちゃうと思うわけ？あー、タイプミスしちゃったね！」と答えました。別に気にしていなかったと思いますが、僕はとても恥ずかしかったです（正直に言えば死にたいぐらい恥ずかしかったです！）。多分、相手は女性だったからこそ恥ずかしかったかな～。
なぜこの話を投稿したのかを聞くと、今日は昨日のタイプミスを見つけて、その思い出が突然に頭に浮かんだからです。Rubyさんへのメッセージでは、「すべて」ではなく、「スバ手」を書いてしまいました！今度、もっと気を付けましょう！
Rubyさん、タイプミスしてごめんなさい 笑。

ヒョウが私の顔を食べると思わなかった
「ヒョウが私の顔を食べると思わなかった」、ヒョウが人の顔を食べる党に投票した女が泣きじゃくった。
これは最近流行っている政治的なネタです。政党が無情や不公平な政策方針を持っているなら、そしてその後その政党に投票した人が自分の人生にその政策が影響を感じている、よくこの冗談が見えます。例えば、もし半年間スペインに住んでいるイギリス人がブレグジットを応援した、そしてもうスペインに住めなくなる事が気づく後愚痴を言います。もしくは、福祉が嫌い政党に投票した後、自分が頼っている福祉が解消になりました。TwitterやRedditでこのような記事が出版する時、よく「I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party」のコメントが見えます。
