Clothes
It's suddenly getting cold, so I'm in trouble with what to wear.
Long sleeves fit in the morning, but short sleeves are fine during the day.
I have to prepare my autumn and winter clothes soon.
I usually wrote also in Japanese on Notes, so if you don't understand my English, please refer to them.

Quattro miti sull'ecologia (2/2)
Seconda parte del testo sui miti ecologici.
#3 — Una soluzione che funziona a un livello sempre funzionerà a un altro
È un'idea ingannevole pensare che una cosa che funziona per alcune persone in un'area limitata funzioni anche su una scala globale. Ad esempio, è un'idea pertinente montare qualche pannello solare sul proprio tetto, particolarmente se si vive in una regione soleggiata. L'energia solare può anche fornire l'approvigionamento elettrico di una città piccola. Ma è un'illusione pensare che sostituiremo tutte le energie fossili e l'energia nucleare da pannelli solari e turbine eoliche, perché i rendimenti sono molto più bassi, e l'energia prodotta non è controllabile. Non solo ci mancherebbe la quantità di metallo necessaria, ma è anche un po' difficile immaginarsi regioni entere coperte da turbine eoliche e pannelli solari senza niente di altro (tranne i deserti, che costituiscono infatti luoghi ideali per pannelli solari).
#4 — L'ecologia è compatibile con la crescita economica
Nell'ambito economico, si sente spesso l'idea di "disaccoppiamento", cioè aumentare la crescita ed al stesso tempo, ridurre l'impatto delle nostre attività sulla planeta. Ovviamente, non è mai successo, visto che questo impatto è proprio il risultato diretto delle nostre azioni trasformative sull'ambiente (prendere risorse e trasformarle in oggetti da consumare). Quest'idea serve oggi a fare greenwashing, e impediscono le emprese di trasformare il loro modello per ridurre realmente il loro impatto ecologico.
Al contrario, la teoria della decrescita affirma che si debbia dirigersi verso la sobrietà et ridurre (in modo controllato) le nostre attivite per raggiunggere una sostenabilità reale. Alcuni anni fa, si pensava che fosse un delirio di ecologisti pazzi, ma la decrescita è già una realtà fisica! I paesi europei consumano meno energia; la crescita aumenta appenna, e in modo artificiale, per esempio con iniezioni massive di massa monetaria e l'inflazioni di alcuni attivi, come l'immobiliare. Un mondo con risorse naturali limitate non può dare una crescita economica illimitata. È fisicamente impossibile. Invece di perseverare nell'idea assurda di una crescita illimita, penso che dovrebbero imparare a gestire questa decrescita inevitabile, perché le proprie società non sprofondiamo nel caos.

Viatja a Escòcia
Si tens vacances aquest estiu, per què no vens a Escòcia?
Edimburg és la capital del país i té una història molt interessant. Has de visitar Mary King's Close. Durant la plaga, moltes persones van morir, i uns parts de la ciutat es consideraven infecciosos. Per això, van construir carrers nous a dalt dels carrers antics. Mary King's Close és un d'aquests carrers, a on pots baixar i aprendre com vivia la gent d'aquella època.
També, hauries de visitar les terres altes, la regió muntanyosa al nord i oest del país. Aquí, pots veure paisatges inoblidables, fer rutes per les muntanyes, descansar en platges que semblen tropicals i conèixer gent molt agradable.
Si tens temps, podries anar a unes de les més de 700 illes que té el país. Cadascú té la seva pròpia cultura i ofereixen un canvi de ritme de la vida ràpid i estressant.

Nightfest
Toutes les années, l’événement, le plus important sur le calendrier touristique de Canberra, est Floriade. Floriade est une fête de tulips, qui marque le début du printemps. En effet, en Australie, c’est également connu comme la célébration du printemps.
Même si l’entrée de Floriade est gratuite, on doit acheter des billet pour Nightfest qui a lieu tous les soirs du week-end. Une zone est bouclée du public et on entre dans des grands chapiteaux bien décorés. Dedans se trouvent des stands, des cafés, des expositions et divertissement en direct. Là-bas, on peut entendre la musique jazz et d’autres groupes émergents dont la musique est très bonne.
Dans des stands, on peut acheter des produits faits à la main. Il y a des confitures, des chocolats et de la nourriture faite maison. Une année, j’ai acheté une écharpe tricotée par une grande mère. J’adore les couleurs et la porte tout le temps. Les cafés sont intéressants puisqu’ils offrent des plats exotiques et multiculturelles. On goûte à la nourriture du monde entier : de l’Afrique à Amérique du Sud. J’aime bien me flâner dans des stands en dégustant un morceau ici et un morceau là.
Les expositions sont toujours populaires. Cette année, c’est une exposition de jeunes artistes qui viennent de Canberra. J’ai entendu dire qu’il y a des peintures et des sculptures qui sont vraiment impressionnantes. Le nouveau groupe de jeunes artistes de Canberra est très talentueux.
Alors que je n’ai pas visit Nightfest depuis quelques années, j’ai décidé d’y aller cette fois. Ça sera une bonne expérience et je vais l’apprécier. Mon amie m’accompagnera et je sais que ça lui plaira.

please review my essay
Topic:
Companies should provide sports and social facilities for local communities.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
MY ESSAY:
Some people think that public facilities for sports and social activities should be provided by businesses. I mostly disagree as this should be the responsibility of governments.
There are several reasons that justify organizations’ provision of communal facilities. They typically gain profit from the community, so it is important for them to give back in one way or another. This can help the public see their brands in a more positive light, fostering relationships and support from the local area. Consequently, consumers may choose their products preferentially over competitors. However, providing public facilities can leave a more lasting impact on potential consumers than other ways such as donating and doing charities. In particular, a company can build a park in the area where its target customers live, so they can make use of it along with their families for many years. This results in a long-lasting reminder of the company’s good deeds.
However, it is the duty of governments, not the business sector, to provide communal facilities. Indeed, corporate social responsibility is already fulfilled by paying taxes, and their net profit may not be enough for building such facilities. In contrast, the purposes of government are to safeguard the public interest, and their revenue from corporate and personal income tax should be allocated to provide and upgrade facilities for the public. In addition, states have the authority to regulate land use, so they are able to identify potential locations and undertake large-scale projects more easily than businesses.
In conclusion, while supplying communal facilities for sports and social activities can help organizations improve their brand’s image and boost sales, it is actually the duty of the government to fund this by making use of tax revenue and their control over land.

Q&A (Hometown)
Q:After you graduate do you want to live in your hometown? Why or why not?
A:I don't want to live in my hometown.
The reason are twofold. One is that I want to keep a distance from my parents. I don't want my parents meddle in what I do. If I lived in my hometown, my parents come to my house frequently and comments on what I do.
The other is for job. In my hometown, there were few jobs and most of them were low salary. To pay off my student loans, I needed to get a job with a slightly higer income. I wanted to leave my hometown because the salaries are higher in the city center.

Spicker
Als ich Schülerin war, hat meine Lieblingslehrerin uns gesagt, dass sich bei der Herstellung von Spickzetteln das Material sehr gut wiederholen lässt. Ich habe diesen Ratschlag seitdem sehr oft benutzt. Wenn man einen sinnvollen Spicker vorberaiten will, muss man die wichtigsten Informationen zusammenfassen und sie dann kurz und knapp, aber auch logisch aufschreiben. Damit lernt man ganz intesiv, der Spicker wird ein stummer Lehrer. Ob man dieses Zettel später bei der Klassenarbeit verwendet oder nicht, ist eine Frage der Moral. Meiner Meinung nach, lohn sich das Risiko einfach nicht.
Ich habe nur ein paar mal in meinem Studentleben bei Prüfungen abgeschrieben. Das war immer, wenn der Lehrer bzw. die Lehrerin zu streng war. Sie oder er verlangte, dass Student/innen alles für die Prüfung auswendig lernten. Keine Abweichung, keine “Kreativitär war erlaubt. Für mich ist das kein Lernen, sondern dummloses Pauken. Glücklicherweise hatten wir solche Lehrer/innen nur bei Nebenfächern. Ich begründete meine Entscheidung zu spicken immer auf dieser Weise: “Wenn die Lehrerin sich um ihre Arbeit nicht kümmert, wieso sollte ich?”
Als ich selbst Lehrerin wurde, habe ich meine Meinung nicht geändert. Ich habe verstanden, dass wenn Schüler allein durch Spicker zu guten Nomen kommen konnten, liegt das Problem darin, wie die Prüfung gestellt wurde. Frage ich eigentlich irgendwelche Fakten ab, oder verlange ich eigenständige gedankliche Leistungen? Meines Erachtens sind in gut gestellten Prüfungen Spicker völlig nutzlos.

日本に帰る可能性について
今日はニュースで今から日本に帰れると読んだ。ワクチン接種完了者と陰性な検査の人が国に入れるそうだ。そのニュースを読んですごくうれしくなった。2016年初めて会ったホストファミリとまた会いたかったけど、もちろん過去3年間行けなかった。来年の最初の3か月ぐらい忙しいけど、できれば3月に日本に帰りたい。3月が無理なら秋に行ってもいいと思う。（秋だったら、絶対に仙台に行って黄葉や秋の景色を見に行きたい！）
日本に帰るまで絶対に日本語がうまくなりたい。ホストファミリとほとんどペラペラ話せて一人でも日本に何でもできていいなあと思うからだ。でも行けなかったときはモチベーションがなかなか無くなった。勉強の意味／理由がなくなったみたいな感じだった…でも今日帰れると聞いたからモチベーションが急に上がった。今から一所懸命頑張ります！

「赤信号を無視する兄弟」という落語を書いてみた
最近書く能力を伸ばそうと思っているので、頑張って落語を書いてみました。おそらく落語の伝統的なスタイルなどに従わなくてただの冗談になったかもしれませんが、楽しくお読みになって、ユーモアが違和感なしで通じるようにご添削頂ければ幸いです。
赤信号を無視する兄弟
車に乗っていたある人が二人いた。Aさんが運転し、友達のBさんが助手席に座っていた。
赤信号の交差点に近寄ると、Aさんが突然猛スピードを出し、走り抜けていった。
Bさんは酷い衝撃を受け、「おい！！赤見なかったんだい？」と、叫び声を出した。
「大丈夫だから！運転が上手い兄が教えてくれたし。」と、Aさんが答えた。
そんな予想もしない答えに当惑するあまりでBさんが数分黙り込んでいった。ところが、いよいよ口に出す力を見つけた。
「なら、なぜそんなお兄さんは赤信号を無視するのが危ないって教えてくれてないのか？」
Aさんは言った。「いやいや、赤信号わかるもん！でもちゃんと走った方がさ、目標に着くのが早いって利点もあるよ。」
「なのに事故で死んだ方が早く着く訳ないだろう...」とブツブツBさんが不平を言ってから、車内がまたしばらく沈黙になっていった。
やがてまた赤信号の交差点に近寄ると、Aさんが前回同様に猛スピードを出し、走り抜けていった。後ろから他の車の怒ったクラクションの音が漂ってきた。
「いい加減にしろよ、お前！僕を殺したいの？？」と、Bさんがキレた。
何気なくクスクスと、Aさんが言った。「そんなことないよ。兄がちゃんと運転を教えてくれたんで、任せとけ！」
「任せとけじゃない！お兄さんの運転怖すぎるぞ！」
「すぐ慣れるよ、この運転。兄も僕も事故あったことないから、心配するな！」と、Aさんが赤信号を無視する兄の持論を言い張った。
やがてまた交差点に近寄ったが、今回は青信号だった。
「最低限走り抜けても安全だよな」と、Bさんが心の中で思った。
だが、驚くことにAさんが急ブレーキをかけ、砂煙を上げながら車を止めた。すると、また不満なクラクションが後ろから聞こえてきた。
我慢の限界に追いやられたBさんが叫び出した。「おめえ、絶対何もわからないバカじゃない！？青信号なのに止まるなんかさ、それもお兄さんが教えてくれたデタラメな運転だろう？？」
すまそうにAさんが答えた。「いやいや、兄に習ったことじゃないけど...」
「ならなぜ止まってんの？」と、Bさんが問い詰めた。
Aさんは答えた。「あっちから兄の車が来てるかと思ってたんだ。」

Pour garder le moral, faut-il éviter l’actualité ?
Je pense que « éviter » n’est pas le mot correct, mais peut-être « rationner ». À ce propos, j’ai récemment parlé avec deux français des rationnements de carburant en France. L’un a eu un avis assez catastrophiste sur les évènements et a dit que la télévision ne donne pas beaucoup de confiance aux français sur ce sujet. L’autre a eu l’avis plutôt que, bien sûr, les choses semblent difficiles en ce moment, mais on a vécu les pénuries déjà et que ça irait dans l’avenir. Je ne dis pas que j’ai la réponse finale sur ce sujet, en tant qu’étranger déconnecté des évènements, mais il me semble que, si on n’a pas le contrôle sur des choses de toute façon, consommer trop d’actualités perturbants, ça ne sert à rien sauf augmenter son anxiété.

Quattro miti sull'ecologia (1/2)
Oggi, vorrei scrivere un testo in due partie su quattro miti comuni sull'ecologia.
#1 — Le soluzioni sono sempre tecniche
Uno dei miti più comuni, è anche uno dei più pericolosi, è l'idea che la soluzione alla crisi ecologica globale si trova in soluzioni puramente tecniche. Si può sentire/leggere spesso questo mito. Alcuni anni fa, ci era stato detto che la "dematerialisazione" permessa dall'economia numerica sarebbe risultato in una diminuzione delle emissioni di CO2 e, più generalmente, del nostro impatto sulla planeta. Naturalmente, i dati transitono per veri data center, computer ed antenne, perciò, non abbiamo "dematerializzato" niente. Al contrario, consumiamo sempre più metalli, particolarmente metalli rari (ringraziamo l'indium per gli schermi tattili!).
Un'altro effetto perverso di questa idea è l'effetto rimbalzo. È vero che tutte le automobili costruite oggi emettono meno CO2 dei propri equivalenti costruiti venti anni fa, ma al stesso tempo, più vetture si sono vendute, perché sono meno care ed ironicamente, perché l'argomento delle "automobili ecocompatibili" è diventato un'argomento di venta! Alla fine, consumano meno individualmente, ma globalmente, hanno un impatto più grande.
#2 — Il nostro impatto è ciò che usiamo
Spesso, gli industriali presentano i vantaggi ecologici di un prodotto in funzione dei risparmi che il suo uso permette, ma è una visione imparziale delle coso. In realtà, si deve conoscere l'impatto ecologico di tutte le etape della vita del prodotto, dalla fabbricazione dei materiali fino al riciclaggio, per sapere quanto questo prodotto inquina realmente.
Recentemente, ascoltavo un'ingeniere specialista dell'industria mineraria parlare delle lampadine a basso consumo. È vero che durano più a lungo delle lampadine ad incandescenza classiche, e che permettono risparmi energetici sostanziali. Tuttavia, contengono mercurio e polveri fluorescenti molto tossici, è il proprio riciclaggio è molto difficile, cioè impossibile, nel caso dei paesi dove l'infrastruttura per il riciclaggio di prodotti semplici manca già. Pertanto, se si prende il ciclo entero della vita delle lampadine a basso consumo, sono potenzialmente più pericoloso per l'ambiente delle lampadine classiche.

A little about Kurt Cobain
Kurt Cobain was a famous musician who has stayed in history due to his talent and unforgettable tunes. But what do we know about his life? His family had an odd history—many of Kurt’s relatives committed suicide because of bipolar disorder, depression, or alcohol abuse. Because of that, a lot of relatives would be scared that they'd also want to end their lives.
Also, many members of his family were involved in music and spotted Kurt’s musical and artistic talents early, which was hardly surprising given the fact that Kurt got into music from two years old. Kurt’s aunt introduced him to classical artists and let him listen to music on vinyl at her home. When he was about ten, he played drums; later he asked his family for a guitar for his birthday.
In his early childhood, he was an energetic and cheerful boy, but then his character changed. He gradually became distant from his classmates and relatives when he started to listen to music and spend time in the library. After that, he decided that it was better to spend time on his own. Nonetheless, because he always stood out from anyone else, people around him continued to take an interest in him.
He dropped out of college right before the year when he would have graduated, which was shocking for his family and anyone who knew him. The decision to drop out of college was the worst decision you could make in America at this time. Nonetheless, Kurt didn’t worry—he was seriously about getting into music by this time.
He took jobs from time to time, but none of them were able to catch his interest. Also, he had to move in and out all the time with his friends or girlfriends for different reasons—sometimes he ran out of money because he didn't have a job, and sometimes he just kicked his neighbours out from the flat. He was often pissed off and couldn't get on with his friends—he mostly enjoyed being on his own.
Despite disagreements with his friends, Kurt was still determined to build a career as a musician, so he put a band together to play with them. Often during this time bands split up as soon as they were assembled. Finally, Kurt put together Nirvana, and this band was successful. At some point, one of the music labels spotted Nirvana's worth and the band got their first contract. Soon after that, they were on their first tour.
Kurt was unmistakably a talented showman. He gave his all on the stage, smashing up his guitars, and singing songs that devolved into wild screaming. This musical dynamics became Nirvana’s trademark, and most of their future releases were made in this style—at first slow and calm, then suddenly loud and quick.
Nirvana quickly became famous, especially when radio stations started including their songs in playlists. Their shows were often sold out, the band was staying in luxurious hotels which they had never seen before. Between tours, Kurt would stay home and paint. He would use a lot of different materials: acrylic and clay, blood, and sometimes even his sperm.
Nonetheless, there were also some problems in the Kurt's life. At first, he kicked the band's bassist out for no real reason, then he argued with the label that gave them a contract. Also, Kurt had chronic stomach pain that caused painful vomiting; unfortunately, doctors weren't able to diagnose the reason. Thereby, he was obliged to adapt his life to cope with this constant torment.
It came harder and harder for him to endure the insane tempo of tours and get on with the other band members. Yet Kurt was sure that Nirvana could make its way to fame.

12 octobre 2022 - le meilleur souvenir d’enfance
Je crois que le meilleur souvenir d’enfance est les moments passés chez mes grands-parents en chine pendant juillet et août. Pendant tous les vacances de l’école primaire, ma mère me laissait chez mes grands-parents pour qu’elle pouvait aussi avoir des vacances. Je participais aux cours de dessin et de calligraphie un jour sur deux pour le matin, et je crois que c’est pourquoi je suis plutôt bonne en arts maintenant. Peut-être, pendant un ou deux vacances, on m’a arrangé de classe d’écrire et lire pour améliorer mon chinois. Pour le reste du temps, soit je m’amusais avec ma petite cousine, soit je faisais mes devoirs de vacances. Ma grand-mère faisait toujours de goûter délicieux et chaque nuit, je pouvais boire du lait vraiment frais… en gros, je mangeais plutôt bien chez mes grands-parents.
C’est vrai que la condition de vie n’était pas aussi bonne par rapport à Hong Kong et en effet, quand je reviens à la ville de mes grands-parents, je ne l’aime pas beaucoup. Mais je crois que c’est l’amusement que j’avais contribué à ce beau souvenir !
