Gap year
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: After high school, students should have at least one year to work or travel. It is better than attending university straight away.
When it comes to whether or not students are better to have at least one year to work or travel before attending university. Some people suggest that after graduated from high school, students should go to colleges straight away. Other argue that the opposite is true. There is possibly some truth to both arguments, but, in my opinion, I agree with the statement offered in the prompt.
To begin with, in order to develop students’ interests accurately, having a work or a travel experience is able to assist them. Only through experiencing real life by working or traveling, can students observe the things they truly love. Think of a student majors in Science; however, he does not know what it is before entering the school. What will happen? He may be find out that he dislikes the subject, but it is too late to change a major in the end. Is not he wasting time? Usually, most students choose their majors since their parents force them to. So, it is better to have at least one year to work or travel which students are able to find their interests on the field they like, what if they notice that they do not interest in the field they chose first, they can change it right away until they found one. Therefore, the experience from working or traveling helps them to choose a major they desire for and make a great effort on it.
In addition, through work or traveling can fertilize students’ life experiences. To be more concise, everything they learn and anything they observe from the area of work for or places they travel to, it will extend their life widths. A case of in point, students have opportunities to travel more than one place, they explore different cultures, histories, even making friends with people who from all over the world. They learn knowledge from these which aids them to become a person with distinctive perspective. Thus, they are able to standout in their professional field.
Of course, some people might say that it is essential to students to attend to colleges straight away, since they have to study continually instead of wasting time to travel or work. For instance, in most Asian countries, parents do not allow their children to go traveling one year after high school. It not only disappoint their expectancies but not be accepted by traditional concept as well. Likewise, I am more favor of students should have at least one year to work or travel before going to colleges. It either helps them develop their interests or enriches their life-experiences. Hence, providing students a chance to work or travel before attending colleges straight away, it will definitely benefit to their life after all.

Eine kurze Reise
Am Samstag werden meine Mama und ich nach Seattle fliegen. Seattle ist die nördlichste Großtadt USAs, die nur zwei Stunden weg von der Grenze Kanadas ist. Sie ist besonders berühmt für Kaffee (Starbucks war hier gegründet), Meeresfrüchte, und die Landschaft. Wir planen, um der Pike Place Markt und die Allnadel zu besuchen. Ich bin darüber froh, weil ich kürzlich in der Schule viel zu tun hatte. Meine Mama und ich sind gespannt auf entspannen und Besichtungen machen.

Solving the problem of sensitive frog populations
The audio lecture I listened to and the reading passage that I read have opposing views about offering some practical solutions to slow down the problem of sensitive frog populations. Firstly, the reading mentions that frog populations extremely reduce since they are being harmed by pesticides, which are used by farmers to prevent insects from damaging farm crops. If laws prohibit the farmers using the harmful pesticides, it would solve the problem of declining frog populations. On the other hand, the listening asserts that the laws are not economically practical or fair. The farmer rely o the pesticides to decrease crop losses and stay competitive on the markets. If farmers followed the strict regulations, they would sever disadvantage compare to farmers in other areas. They would lose more crops and have lower yield than competing farms.
Secondly, the author presents that a fungus deadly affects frog populations as a result of frogs absorb water, fungus infects they die of dehydration. Researchers propose a treatment that kill the fungus with heat, it would protect sensitive frog populations from infection. Yet, the speaker from the listening passage indicates that the treatment offered by researchers should apply individually to each frog. Using them on a large scale is significantly difficult. Moreover, the treatment does not prevent the frogs passing the fungus on their offsprong. The treatment have to be applied again and again individually, so it is complicated and expensive.
Thirdly, the reading states that human activities, such as excessive water use, threaten frogs’ natural habitats, since they lay their eggs in water and depend on wetland habitats. If the key water habitats could be protected, many frogs would recover. In contrast, the lecturer argues that the solution offered by reading is not save frog populations. The real threat is global warming. It contributes to disappearing of many water and habitats, causing entire species to go extinct. Thus, forbidding humans from using water is not prevent the habitats changes caused by global warming.

日本の文化の面白いこと（第二：バレンタインデー）
少し疲れたため、今日の日記は短くします。
明日はバレンタインデーですね（日本人が読んでいるときに、もうバレンタインデーかもしれませんけど 笑）。日本では義理チョコとか好きな人にチョコレートをあげることになっているって聞いたことがあります。しかし、アメリカにはそういう習慣はあんまりない気がします。なぜかというと、アメリカ人はこの日にチョコレートをあげるより、花やプレゼントをあげる傾向が見られます。しかも、日本と違って、男性でも女性でも好きな相手にものをあげられます。それだけではなく、アメリカではデートや映画を見に行く人は多いでしょう。
義理チョコの概念も全くないという理由で、日本の文化はとても不思議だと思います。どうして日本だけはそういう習慣がありますかね。日本人はPRや広告に騙されやすいかな？クリスマスにもケンタッキーチキンは相当人気がありまして、外国人としてとても面白いです。とはいえ、皆さんにチョコレートをあげたいです！受験生や学生たちは「キットカット」が大好きですね？「きっと勝つ」という言葉も似ているんですもんね。

O movimento para liberar o Quebec
O movimento pela soberania do Quebec é tanto um movimento political quanto uma ideologia de valores, conceitos, e ideais que lutam pela independência da província canadiana do Quebec.
Vários grupos políticos diversos se uniram perto do final dos anos 1960 para criar o “Bloc Quebecois” um partido político que é exclusivo para o Quebec. Desde 1968 o partido está apelando para negociações constitucionais sobre a questão de soberania provincial, além de realizar dois referendos provinciais em relação á questão. O primeiro, que ocorreu em 1980, perguntou se os quebequenses desejavam abrir negociações constitucionais com o governo federal (e outras províncias) com o objetivo de estabelecer um pacto de "associação de soberania" entre a província do Quebec e o resto do Canadá. Cerca de 60% do público quebecois rejeitou esta ideia apresentada pelo líder do Bloc Quebecois, René Lévesque. A questão foi ignorada pelo partido pela maior parte dos anos 1980, especialmente depois da partição da constitução canadiana sem a autorização do governo do Quebec, e a criação Do CORAF que consagrou a protecção da língua framcesa e a cultura francesa-canadiana. Em 1995, após duas tentativas falhadas de segurar as mudanças quebecois à constitução canadiana, o governo do Quebec realizou mais um referendo sobre a independência do Quebec; o que foi rejeitado por mais de metade do público quebecois.

I going to share with you how I start reading books
Before to start reading, just wait a minute and read the next.
"I want improve my grammar and other important things but if you think the text I'll write down, it look like some weird or the text had not sense to you, just wait and not correct. Usually I writing a lot metaphors"
So let's start it.
I'm 23 year old and i started reading when i was 15 year old. Always I thought the reading was something veeery boring because... To read a sheet with letters and sentences? I mean it is very boring. I remembered when I was talking with a friend in the high school and I ask him:
- What do you do in the night before sleep.
And he said me
- I read books, and now i'm reading this.
He put his hand in the bag and suddenly he took out a book, a biig book with a nice cover page. When I started to read the tittle i saw a word: "Eragon". Under that there was an image with the main characters. That took me by surprise because these character i knew them.
- I know them. I know the story. There's a movie about that. Have you seen the movie before?
- Yeah i did it.
- So.. Why are you reading it? it's not the same?
In that moment he told me.
- Never. Never the movie is like the book. The stories are different. Just think this: "you just have two hours to watch the movie. The writers had only a few hours to tell you about the all history. They had to cut a looot important details about that. These things don't happen in the book because the writer took all the time to write all the details and some interest things that happen in the book. The movie probably is the 50% or less than the history of book.
It's more. Take the book, i lend it you, just start with the first 20 pages. Only those.
So that was the moment when i started reading

マラソンの練習 第3番
マラソンの練習 第3番
前のポーストにはマラソン練習ために必要な事の2つを話しました。まだ必要な事の1つがあります。それは栄養です。
たくさん運動したらちゃんと食べなければならい。ほとんどの日にはいいバランスのダイエットが足ります。でも、速く走った日とロング・ランの日は違います。あの日は蛋白質と炭水化物を食べる量は増えることが必要です。体はちゃんと筋を直せるために蛋白質が要る。で、早く走ったから体に少しエネルギーが残るので次の日に走るのにたくさん炭水化物を食べることが必要です。
さらに、レースの週には別のダイエットが要ります。水を飲むと炭水化物を食べるは通常から増えるのことが必要。それも、塩の食べる量も増えます。でも、脂肪とファイバを食べる量は通常より少ないになります。これはバランスのダイエットではありませんけどレースの日のためにいちばんいいです。
いいマラソンを走るのためは考慮する少し事ももっと多いです。でも、この3つがいちばん重要ですと思っています。

제일 좋은 선생님은 누구일까요? (3부)
어떤 사람들은 아무리 삶의 단계에 있어도 아기처럼 언어를 배울 수 있다고 생각해요. 반면에 다른 사람들은 외국어 학습이 기술이라고 해요. 느려면 열심히 해야 한다고 뜻이에요. 그러니까 외국어 일 개를 배운 뒤에 다음 언어 배우기를 더 쉬워요. 모국어 화자는 언어를 잘해도 그 기술이 없으면 학습자를 도와주기를 어려울게요. 이 우화로 설명할 거예요. 사람이 산상에서 태어났어도 아직 어떻게 등반하는지 모를 수도 있어요. 그렇지만 다른 산을 등반하기는 하면 이 기술이 있을 거예요. 두 산 개가 언어이고 사람이 모국어 화자예요.

Los dos canes de un coruñés enfermo
Hoy leí un artículo sobre un hombre que padecía un cáncer terminal que buscaba un hogar nuevo para sus dos pastores alemanes, Tango y Rex. El coruñés pedía ayuda en redes sociales y a través de la asociación SOS Abuelos. Felizmente, los perros fueron adoptados por una pareja galiciana.

Aprender idiomas
Sua atitude desempenha um papel importante na rapidez com que você aprende uma idioma. Se você abordar o aprendizado de idiomas com uma atitude positiva e vê-lo como uma oportunidade divertida e fascinante para ampliar seus horizontes (e soar como um nativo quando você falar), você estará mais aberto ao aprendizado. Você ficará mais motivado a estudar e aprender o máximo possível, e todo o processo será mais agradável e, consequentemente, mais rápido.

The Valentine Day💝
Tomorrow is the Valentine Day. In Japan, girls give a chocolate on that day to a boy who she likes. I am going to give my bosses a bit expensive chocolates and will get nice sweets on March 14. March 14 is called the White Day here. On that day, men have to give a nice sweet back to the girl who gave them a chocolate on February 14.
My bosses always give me an expensive nice sweet. I never fail to give them chocolates for nice sweets I could get on the White Day.
I also give Tirol chocolates to male colleagues so that I can get many sweets from them. Tirol chocolate is ¥15 per piece.😂 Some of them bought me a 1000 yen lunch for one 15 yen Tirol chocolate. I am very happy I have had nice colleagues.
Some women don't like the Valentine Day but I really enjoy it every year.😆

A Mystery In Winter
Around this time three years ago, our company held a party for customers at a gorgeous hotel on a Friday. After the party finished, three female coworkers and I went to a nice cafe in another gorgeous hotel.
At the entrance, a waiter came over to us and said, "Your party is five people, right?" We answered, "No, we are four." We looked back and found that no one was there around us. The waiter said sorry and took us to a table.
While we were sitting at a round table, a waitress brought water and put five glasses on the table. We said again, "We are four." The waitress was startled and said sorry, and removed the glass.
We enjoyed nice sweets and tea for a while and left the cafe. We were tired so called a taxi. When we were getting in, the driver said, "Sorry, this car cannot accommodate five people." We said again, "We are four." We turned around and found that no one was around us there. The driver stared at something in a minute and said, "Ah, ok, four people. Please get in."
We were wondering why they counted us five. Have you ever had a mysterious experience?
The next Monday, one of us said that a creepy thing happened to her after that. She is youngest and cutest girl among us. She comes to work from Saitama which is a bit far from Tokyo. After we got out from the taxi at Shinjuku in Tokyo, she got on a train to a station in Saitama.
She usually uses a bicycle between her house and the station. But on that day, she was so tired that she caught a taxi. When she got in the taxi, the taxi driver said, "Is both of you the same destination?" She froze and said nothing. The driver turned around to her and said, "What..? Where is the other girl? When did she get out before I noticed?" She answered trembling, "I was alone from the beginning. No one was with me."
The driver stared at her eyes and said in a low voice, "It's a joke."

Chez mon amie Sarah
Aujourd'hui, je suis allée chez mon collègue et amie Sarah. Comme nous ne travaillons pas cette semaine, nous étions un peu ennuyées. Donc, nous avons décidé à dîner ensemble. Sarah étais venue chez moi plusieurs fois, mais je n'avais pas allée chez elle. Pour cette raison, je suis allée chez Sarah. Comme la maison de Sarah n'est pas loin de chez moi, il n'était pas difficile à y aller. J'ai pris l'autobus pour y aller. Quand je suis arrivée chez Sarah, j'ai vu sa maison pour la première fois. Comme chez moi, son appartement était un peu petit, mais très confortable.
Sarah et moi, nous avons parlé de beaucoup de choses! Le travail, nos familles, la musique... Comme nous aimons beaucoup des mêmes choses, nous pouvons parler de beaucoup de choses pour longtemps. Sarah m'a donné du thé, et elle a préparé le dîner: spaghetti avec poulet. Il était très délicieux! Je crois qu'elle fait bien la cuisine.
En fin, je me sentais un peu fatiguée. Je suis retournée chez moi et maintenant, j'écris ce journal! Je voudrais aller encore une fois chez Sarah.

Müdigkeit
Heute bin ich ziemlich müde, aber ich weiß nicht genau warum. Vielleicht habe ich letzte Nacht nicht gut geschlafen. Oder vielleicht meine Aufgaben von der Arbeit sind heute anstrengen und deswegen bin ich etwas gestresst. Keine Ahnung.
Es ist aber bei meiner Arbeit möglich, dass ich heute früher nach Hause weggehe. Und dann gönne ich mich eine warme Tasse Kaffee zu Hause. Das hört sich ja schön an.

最近のこと
最近面白いことは二つがあります。まず、好きな生徒のお父さんが自分の働いてる学校に急に現れました。「急に」ってちょっと違うかもしれませんが、彼が来た時に私はびっくりしました。その瞬間に彼は息子についていろんな質問したかったかなと思いましたが、そんなことではないんでした。ただ彼は自分の英語のレッスンを受けたかったから学校に来ました。
彼と話してた間に仲が良くなりそうだと思いました。
生徒のお父さんと仲が良くなったらいいことですし、それで生徒のことももっと分かってくるはずだと思いますので嬉しいです。
面白いと思いましたのは、生徒とお父さんの目がとても似ています。
もう１つのことは、一ヶ月間スカイプでスペイン語のレッスンを受けています。
そのレッスンの先生は、すごく面白くていい人です。
レッスンの時にとても楽しくて、彼女はいつも励ましてくれますので、自信がついてスペイン語を楽しく話せます。毎回ちょっと上手くなる感じがしますので、そのレッスンを続けたいと思います。
楽しみが増えました。

La subvención a películas dirigidas por mujeres
Acabo de leer un artículo sobre la subvención a películas dirigidas por mujeres. El Instituto de la Cinematografía y las Artes Audiovisuales en España modifica el Real Decreto por el que fomenta la Ley del Cine, es decir, que quiere aumentar el porcentaje de ayudas del 50% al 75% del coste apoyado.
Soy de los Estados Unidos, entonces el sistema de ayudas al cine es algo desconocido para mí. A fin de cuentas, si el reto es promover la igualdad, estoy de acuerdo. Me parece interesante, pero la verdad es que me falta la experiencia requisita a escribir mucho sobre este tema.

Die Atomsemiotik: Teil II
Dieses Thema interessiert mich immer noch. Der Atommüll ist gefährlich. Die Atomsemiotik ist ein Fachgebiet, das sich damit beschäftigt, wie man künftige Generationen bzw. Zivilisationen vor dieser Gefahr warnen kann. Das Problem besteht darin, dass wir hier über für Menschen unüberschaubare Zeiträume reden.
Wie warnt man die Nachwelt, wenn die aktuellen Weltsprachen schon längst unverständlich oder vergessen sind? Wie warnt man die Nachwelt, wenn sich bildliche Symbole nach einiger Zeit der gemeinten Deutung entziehen?

Nicht nur "Lehrbuch" Deutsch beherrschen
Das Deutsch, das ich gelernt habe ist meiner Meinung nach, stark nach dem Studium gerichtet. Es ist vielleicht ausreichend, wenn man auf Deutsch studieren will. Aber, in der Fälle von Freundschaften zu verknüpfen, gibt es mehr Luft nach oben.
Umgangssprachliche Deutsch ist wirklich eine ganz andere Sache. Die Art und Form, indem man sich in einer informale Umgebung ausdrücken kann, ist wahrscheinlich aufwendiger zu begreifen. Es gibt leider keine Lehrbuch über wie die Leute miteinander unterhalten soll und wie die Umgangssprache verwendet wird. Deshalb, der einzige Weg wäre nur sich in der Welt einzutauchen. Eine gute Anfang wird zum Beispiel, Sprachpartners zu finden damit ich mich mit der Redeweise bekannt machen kann. Eine unorthodoxe Methode wäre auch Deutsch durch Dating-Apps wie Tinder zu üben aber, ich werde mich eher darauf verzichten, weil der Fokus um zu lernen könnte verliert werden (wegen der Ablenkungen ;) ).
