Raising taxes on unhealthy behaviors
The listening content totally refutes the reading passage in the fact that impose high taxes on cigarettes and unhealthy food can be benefit of society. First of all, the reading mentions that raising taxes on unhealthy behaviors discourage people from doing it. Take cigarettes for example, smoking declines since taxes on cigarettes have risen. Also, impose taxes on unhealthy food can help reduce obesity rate. The listening, however, argues that the policy of higher taxes do not lead to healthier behavior, for example, high cigarettes taxes lead people to buy cheaper and low quality cigarettes which contain more unhealthy substances. Similarly, even though impose high taxes on unhealthy food, some people might continue to spend more money on unhealthy food which they prefer, so it would not benefit their health.
Secondly, the reading suggests that people who do the unhealthy behaviors increase medical costs that are covered by everyone who pays taxes. Taxing people who do the unhealthy behaviors create extra income that can use to cover the medical costs, so people, such as nonsmokers, can pursue a financially fair. Yet, the speaker from the listening passage points out the fact that taxes on unhealthy products are unfair because they do not take into account t people’s income. Suppose high-earning person and lower- earning person consume the same amount of cigarettes a day. Paying a high taxes will create a great burden for the lower earner than higher earner.
Lastly, the author says that impose high taxes on tobacco increases revenue for the government. The government can use the money to benefit public welfare. In contrast, the listening asserts that the government uses the revenue that has a downside. The government does not want to lose the million dollars, so it might not force to pursuing policies or law to eliminate unhealthy behaviors. For instance, it will allow people to smoke in public areas, such as park, since it does not want to lose the income.

奨学金の願書をもうすぐに済ませる。までには詳細を書き込まなきゃいないけど大体完了したと思う。卒業式が迫ってくるにつれて、当然に大学の生活をよく考え込んで、ちょっと案じる。全部が変わっていかない？いいものになるだろう。というはそうだといいなー。生徒は普通に悲しく友達とずっと別れるはずなのに、実は私は高校の友達との友情の根の相性がよくない気がする。だから、どうして今まで私たちはまだ友達かなー？理由は半分よくて、半分自己中心的なのだ。今まで、私は大体みんなともううんざりしてる感じがある。でも、寂しくなりたくないよ。それに、今更友達をやめるのは無駄なんだよね？無駄に揉めることがいらない。この高校から出るまで、幸せようにしている。
この日記は全くカタコト気がする。。。。

Los animales, el miedo
No siento escalofríos con sólo pensar en una araña y no sufro de fobia a arácnidos. Es que tiendo a rechazar las arañas de forma natural. Estos animales potencialmente peligrosos me dan miedo, pero si encuentro una araña en casa, no la mato. Intento cogerla y sacarla al exterior.

Was ich gestern gemacht habe
Gestern war ein ziemlich entspannender Montag, ich habe nur Deutsch gelernt und im Fernseher die Nachtrichten bei Tagesschau angeschaut. Ich habe auch meiner Frau dabei geholfen, das Mittagessen zu kochen. Wir haben Lachs mit Reis und Kartoffeln gegessen.
Aber Ich muss jetzt gehen, weil morgen ich meinen Deutschkurs habe und meine Hausaufgabe noch nicht fertig ist. Bis morgen.

私が好きなウェブサイト
インターネットを使う人として、最も大切なウェブサイトは検索エンジンかもしりません。全部使いたいウェブサイトの名前が覚えられないから、グーグルみたいなサイトが必要あります。グーグルは多分世界で一番有名な検索エンジンだが、私にとってもっとプライバシーが大切をしているサイトの方がいいと思います。だから、私はduckduckgoというサイトを使う。そのサイトはなるべくデータを集めません。データがなければ、自分のプライバシーを守るの他に、もっと自然な結果が出ます。それにduckduckgoはたくさん便利な特徴もあります。だから、もしみんなの一番便利なサイトはグーグルなら、私にとって、グーグルと同じぐらいのduckduckgoは私の一番好きなウェブサイトです。

Friendship
I can’t get any mask wherever I go. Then, a friend who is good at sewing suggested that she would make me a mask. I recognized it's true that “Friends are necessary for life” as people say.🥺✨ I asked her to make 5 masks. I thought I would buy her a nice cake and drink set in return for it. Last night she messaged me that they were completed, so I met her today to get them. She said, “It's 500 yen for one mask.” Then, I paid 2,500 yen to her.
I thought again and found out that money is more necessary for life than friendship.😆

Einmal eine Hexe, immer eine Hexe
In letzter Zeit schaue ich mir die Fernsehsendung „Siempre bruja“ [,,Einmal eine Hexe, immer eine Hexe”] an. Es geht um eine kolumbianerische Sklavin namens Carmen, die aus der Kolonialzeit kommt und sich rettet vor der Verbrennung als Hexe nur dadurch, dass sie per Zeitreise in die Gegenwart gerät.
Carmen muss sich nicht nur mit dem heutigen Uni-Leben Kolumbiens, d.h., neuen Freunden, einem misstrauischen Mitbewohner, neuer Technologie und einem Teufel namens Lucien, abfinden, sondern auch Cristobal, ihren Freund aus der Kolonialzeit, retten.

Los Oscar en 1989
Acabo de leer un artículo sobre la peor gala de la historia de los Oscar. En 1989, el productor Allan Carr fusionó la energía de Las Vegas y el espectáculo de Disney con una presentación llamada «una vergüenza para la Academia». Una joven actriz que se llamaba Eileen Bowman se disfrazó de Blancanieves y bailó con un joven Rob Lowe. De todos modos fue un desastre.

Beyond Meat
Have you heard about the new product everybody in the US seem to be obsessed with? Some people even claim it has already made a revolution and made lots of people skip meat. If you haven’t been deaf lately, you have probably guessed it right. Yep, it’s the Beyond meat branded artificial meat. Not only is it made out of plant protein, it’s also been specifically designed to taste like a real meat. Scientists have worked hard to imitate real meat’s texture, smell, outlook, color and even the change of color meat has while roasting. There was an interview showing the lab where all the characteristics have been measured, designed and tested. There were several departments of the lab: Texture, Smell, Color and Taste test.
Texture department. At the texture department they showed off their E-mouth machine which’s aim is to squeeze the ,,meat,, and to analyze the pressure applied. So that they know how close they are to the texture of a a true meat by comparing the chewing resistance. The’ve even added little white balls to simulate greasy look of the hamburger meat
At the Smell department their job is to extract separate elements which make real meat smell like one and try imitate it with different additions
The Color’s department role is to not only make it look like a real meat when on the shop window, but also change its color as one would expect when frying meat on a frying pan. It has to change its color and look like a real fried meat after cooking.
The taste test had to prove to convince the audience that this artificial meat is really worth buying and trying. Well then, we can now get to try it by ourselves since the meat is in front of us, on the table, as one of the components of the burger! Let’s put it into test with no further ado!
