My teacups
Two years ago, my oldest brother returned to the city I lived in to see my mom and I saw the teacup he was using, which I thought was very nice.
The teacup was not like an ordinary one. The lid of it actually connected another smaller cup above it and inside the lid, there is a filter screen. The smaller cup was used to hold tea leaves.
When people make tea, they pour boiling water into the teacup first, then cover the lid. Afterwards, stand the cup upside down.
Therefore, the boiling water goes down into the smaller cup below and the tea leaves are soaked in boiling water, so the tea is made.
A few minutes later, the tea will be done. After that, flip back the teacup and the tea water flows into the main teacup again, so the tea leaves and the tea water are separated.
After I saw this kind of tea cup, I wanted to buy one late.
To be continued. Sincerely thank you for your trust and support.

I usually try to run at least 1 hour every other day, but last week my feet were recovering from an injury, so I just walked 1 hour every day instead (it sucked).
I started running about 2 and a half months ago. I still remember how much I hated running at the beginning. It was so hard, I wanted to stop after the first step, and I never felt like doing it. To be honest, nothing ever changed. I still hate running (during the period I'm running), it still hard, it's demanding and I never feel like doing it.
The good part about running is that I face a huge challenge right at the beginning of my day, so everything else that I have to do throughout the day feels way easier. I feel more focused, proactive and diligent. Looking at my progression makes me feel great; I could barely run 2 min non-stop. Now I can run between 9 to 10 km non-stop consistently. It motivates me to stay on the grind in other areas of my life, like learning German.
My German is terrible. I can only understand A1 and A2 texts; If a native starts to speak just a bit too fast, I can't understand a single word; My writing sucks; It feels like I'll never be capable of pronouncing /ʁ/ and /ç/. Still, I think that if I keep practicing, my German will get way better as time goes by. Running did not only change my body, but it changed my mindset too. That's why I can't wait to run again tomorrow.

Un día en la carretera...
María: Ay, Juan. Mira al medidor de combustible, tenemos que encontrar una gasolinera o vamos a quedar sin gasolina.
Juan: No te preocupes. Tenemos bastante gasolina para llegar a la cabina. Hay una gasolinera cuando lleguemos allí y entonces podemos llenar el tanque.
María: Pero, Juan. No vamos a llegar a la cabina si quedáramos sin gasolina antes de que llegáramos a la gasolinera allí. Tenemos que encontrar una gasolinera. ¡Mira! ¡Una gasolinera!
Juan: ¿Dónde? No puedo ver nada.
Maria: Exacto. Estás conduciendo pero no ves ni tres cuartos. Mira a la derecha hay una gasolinera. ¿Puedes mirarla? Debemos dejarnos aquí para llenar el tanque y limpiar el parabrisas. Está llena de bichos muertos.
Juan: ¿Una gasolinera? ¿Bichos muertos? ¿Dónde? ¿A la derecha?
María: Juan, ¿dónde están tus lentes? Estamos viajando de velocidad 95 kilómetros por hora en la carretera, ¿y no tienes tus lentes?
Juan: Ah, sí. Mis gafas. A veces se me olvidan usarlas cuando conduzco. Sé que se supone que debo usarlas cuando conduzca, pero a veces no puedo recordar dónde las dejé.
María: ¡Ay! ¡Es un milagro que todavía estamos vivos! Aquí están en la guantera. ¡Póntelas!
Juan: Pásemelas, por favor. (María se las pasa.) Ah, sí. Gracias. Ahora puedo ver a dónde vamos.
María: Y acabamos de pasar la gasolinera. Date la vuelta.
Juan: ¿Por qué? Me importo un pepino. Va a aparecer otra gasolinera muy pronto.
María: Juan, estamos en las montañas. No hay muchas gasolineras aquí y no me gusta la idea de caminar a la cabina. Vamos a tener la negra si no nos diéramos la vuelta para comprar gasolina.
Juan: Me importo un pepino. Tenemos bastante gasolina y... (de repente su auto quedó en pane).
María: ¿Me estabas diciendo?

現今住在發達國家的人大部芬都很容易地就可以上網。特別歐盟發現開始接觸網絡年齡比10年前小得多。小孩子們越來越多上網玩遊戲、參與網絡課堂等。雖然有不少為兒童安全的網站,還很容易接觸虛假信息、有害的內容、非法的內容等。歐盟委員會就通過了一項 "為兒童打造更好的互聯網" 的戰略。該戰略的目標就是讓網絡更安全。
為了這項新戰略,歐盟委員會要制定在線年齡驗證標準和數字身份。他們也想建立為網絡霸凌受害者的熱線。而且歐盟委員會也打算為兒童、教師和家長組織特別的培訓,就提高他們的網絡素養。
我覺得歐盟的戰略很好。現在有很多孩子幾乎從出世的時候一直用點腦、智慧型手機等,但那並不是說那些孩子了解網絡的危險的意思。我們得保護小孩子。

Ich wohne in einem Haus mit meiner Freundin und meinen Hunden. Mein Haus ist ziemlich groß, und es besteht aus drei Zimmern und zwei Wohnzimmern. Meiner Ansicht nach ist das Haus zu groß, aber wir mussten irgendwo wohnen, im wir mit unseren Hunden wohnen konnten. Es gibt einen Hinterhof, der eingezäunt ist, und das ist perfekt für unsere Hunde, die vorher keinen Spielplatz hatten. Ich muss arbeiten an dem Hinterhof, weil es fast keinen Rasen gibt. Es hilft nicht, dass meine Hunde im Hinterhof graben, aber das ist nicht ihre Schuld, weil sie nie vor einen Hinterhof hatten, deshalb muss ich sie abrichten.
Einer der Zimmer ist mein Homeoffice, wo ich arbeite und Videospiele spiele. In einem Wohnzimmer gibt es einen Fernseher und ein Sofa, aber in dem anderen gibt es Sachen, damit ich Fitness mache. In diesem Zimmer gibt es auch unsere Waschmaschine und unseren Trockner. Am Anfang hatten wir weder keine Waschmaschine noch Trockner, denn das Haus ist alt, und hat Arbeit an der Sanitärinstallation und der Verdrahtung gebraucht. Das war neu für uns, weil wir nie bei einem Waschsalon besucht. Aber alles ist jetzt in Ordnung. Es gibt noch einige Kleinigkeiten, an denen ich arbeiten muss, aber alle größere Probleme sind aufgelöst.

What is the meaning of life? I have been asking myself for many years, but so far I haven't gotten the right answer.
Coming to this world is not our choice, it's only random. However, it is still a good thing.
I think the meaning of life is not to be an official or to be a rich man. It is not and it shouldn't.
But since we humans came to this world, the first thing we should do was to live well and love our parents, children, as well as our friends and relatives.
At least, we should have a positive attitude towards our lives. Always think good and do good, no matter how ordinary we will be.
Maybe we are weak and incapable, but there will always be a thing that we can do to support ourselves.
God is just. He treats everyone fairly. He always gives each one a road. Don't be afraid that we may not be excellent enough. As long as we are healthy, everything will go well.
I am an ordinary person and I have been trying my best to live. Although I haven't achieved great success, I have tried my best.
I still don't know what the meaning of life is. I only know that we should live healthily, happily, positively and diligently.

Mi chiamo Jan (significa Giovanni) e ho 29 anni. Sono professor assistente ad un'università in Slovacchia. Ho cominciato a lavorare all'università l'anno scorso, dopo aver conseguito il dottorato. Il mio lavoro è anche uno di ragioni perchè studiare l'Italiano. Tre anni fa sono andato a una conferenza che si sono trovata in Italia. A dire il vero, prima di ciò non mi piacevano gli stati del Sud, ero piú interessato dei paesi germanici. Ma a quella conferenza mi sono innamorato della lingua italiana. Nel lavoro siamo membri di un progetto in cui possiamo viaggiare in diversi paesi nell'Europa. Avevo pianificato un altro viaggio in Italia, ma non potevo realizzarlo a causa della pandemia di COVID. Nel frattempo ho deciso di studiare un po' l'Italiano, ma purtroppo ho anche dimenticato molto. Quest'anno ho l'opportunità di visitare Italia, e spero che potrò usare le mie conoscenze della lingua.

Summary no. 84
On his way back to the police station, Inspector Steine reflected on the implications of Twitten’s current situation. Steine hadn’t taken to the lad yet, and probably never would. Their working relationship had been strained since the beginning, and the Crystal’s murder case had complicated matters further. Twitten had been hypnotised by one of the suspects, who was a phrenologist for profession, into believing that Mrs Groynes was a criminal mastermind. Surely, Steine reasoned, Twitten’s condition would hinder any future investigation. Steine could already picture Twitten accusing Mrs Groynes for any reported crime in the future.
At one point Steine realised that someone had been following him. It was the young reporter Ben Oliver. The lad caught up with Steine and tried to engage him in conversation. Oliver was keen to voice his criticism over Steine and the way he led the latest murder investigation—Oliver adamantly believed that Steine had built his career through lucky events. In particular, Oliver cast doubt on the authenticity of the written confession that had been sent to the police. Oliver was astounded that Steine had accepted the letter’s contents as a self-evident truth. Oliver went as far as to voice his concern that the whole investigation may have been completely ill-considered because Steine wanted to wrap it up as soon as possible. Of course Steine was outraged by these wild accusations, and snapped back sharply at the boy.

"And then we danced" es una película georgiana que fue hecho en 2019 y es una de mis favoritas.
Cuenta una historia del primer amor entre dos chicos y también discute sobre el tema de la homofobia en Georgia, que desafortunadamente aún es muy relevante hoy.
A parte de ser una historia de amor y una crítica de la sociedad, esta película es una celebración de la belleza de Georgia y su única cultura.
Adoro esta película. Nos da una imagen realista de las dificultades de la vida de una persona lgbt y también es simplemente hermosísima. Cuando la veo, extraño mucho Georgia, que tiene un lugar especial en mi corazón (¿anglicismo?).

J'ai raté un des mes disciplines préférées dans les examens écrits et en gros, je n'ai pas eu de notes excellentes comme d'habitude. Au début, j'étais tellement triste parce que tout au longue de l'année, les résultats scolaires m'ont défini (je sais que c'est stupide mais c'est le moyen le plus facile d'augmenter mes confiances en moi). J'étais moins triste après avoir bu une tasse de chocolat dans un beau café mais c'est jusqu'au moment que j'ai ré-ouvert mon instagram et vu un message qui m'a démandé les moyens que j'étudiais le français, j'ai été soulagée et retrouvé les confiances en moi ; comme ça me rapelle que j'ai d'autres choses à fier et c'est bête de me confiner dans ce zone de prefection.

This is my first pubblication here and on any other website. I have a little of vocabulary in english. I can to understand when I read simple texts or when I listen videos or movies but I can't expresse myself very well. I don't have practice because I live in Spain and here we speak spanish.
I would like, someday, travel to the UK and live there for a few month, practice the language and know the culture, although for me, the british accent is more difficult that american accent. Perhaps this is because american accent is more usual, for example in movies or music.
Anyway, I'm grateful for any correction

Ich mag gerne alte Filme von Hitchcock schauen. Es ist nicht so einfach einen zu wahlen, aber ich denke "Notorious" ist besonders interresant. Der ist ein Spiongeschichte, dass in Rio passiert. Der Zeitraum ist nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg, und einen geheimlichen Organisation versucht Nuklearmaterial zu bekommen. Da kommen amerikanischer spionen und alle Plane der Bösen kaput machen :) wie immer.

Ich versuche eine Geschichte zu schreiben, dass über einen schönen Tag ist. Es ist schon vorbei, damals habe ich alleine nach Rom gegangen. Es ist ein großen, historischen Stadt in Italien. Ich habe einen Platz im einen Hostel gefunden aber das Zimmer war wirklich überfüllt und nicht so schön. Trotzdem das Wetter und die Stadt begeistert mich als nie wieder. Leute waren sehr freundlich, für mich einbischen so laut und chaotisch, aber ich magte das Essen und die schönen Aussichten.

The Weeknd es un artista canadiense muy conocido por canciones cómo "Can't feel my face" o "The Hills". En este momento está en la radio con "Sacrifice", al menos donde vivo.
Para ser honesta no tenía una opinión sobre él inicialmente, pero una noche de septiembre 2021 descubrí, mientras estaba en Youtube, la versión slowed de "Faith". Todo he cambiado después.
No puedo decir que tengo una canción favorita, pero sé que he escuchado "Heartless" una y otra vez durante MESES. Me sé las palabras de memoria. "Party monster" y "Faith" están en el segundo y tercer lugar del podio.
Recientemente me gusta escuchar "House Of Balloons" mientras que me cepillo los dientes.
¿Y usted? ¿Que canciones de The Weeknd les gustan?

China is very famous for its tea and many Chinese people like drinking tea.
Amongst many famous Chinese tea brands, green tea is the biggest branch and amongst many green tea brands, West Lake Longjing Tea is in the top place.
Before, I almost didn't drink any tea, even hot water. I only drink water when I feel thirsty. If I drink green tea, my stomach often feels sick.
I checked some information about drinking tea and learned that green tea is raw tea, unfermented tea, therefore it is not friendly to our stomachs.
Puer Tea and Black Tea are fermented tea. It's said that they are friendly to our stomachs. Especially in the winter, drinking them can keep our stomachs warm.
I first tried Puer tea. After I drank it for a while, I found that no matter what types of puer teas they were, they all had musty smells. I worry that they may harm my health, so I quit them.
I secondly tried the Black Tea and I also found they had a special flavor that I didn't like.
In the end, I decided to try some Longjing Tea. I looked it up on the internet to find out if there is one brand that has the best quality and is also a bargain.
I didn't buy those very famous brands of Longjing Tea. Instead, I bought Longjing tea from a tea farmer. I think buying Longjing Tea from a tea grower would be a smart choice.
A unique characteristic of Longjing tea is to have a soybean aroma. When I made the tea, I found it was real, especially after I washed it. Its aroma is very strong and I like smelling its aroma deeply.
This Longjing tea's price is 1 RMB per gram. I also bought a branded Longjing Tea for almost 4 RMB per gram. I compared the two of them, and I didn't find a big difference between them. On the contrary, the branded ones' taste and fragrance are lighter.
I drink tea because of other people's strong recommendations. They think people should have a hobby. Fortunately, so far I have been feeling very good about drinking Longjing Tea.

Два дня назад, новые рестораны быстрого питания открылись в Москве. Со времени война с Украиной, в России нет Макдоналдс. Итак сейчас новая компания, называется “Вкусно и Точка” начинались. Там они продают еду похожи на Макдоналдс - бургеры, картофельные фри, напитки - все выглядит как еда Макдональдсы. Но Вкусно и Точка нет мороженое. Интересно, если на вкус подделка или такой же.

Some people think that government is responsible for people’s lifestyle and the plethora of problems related to it, like obesity or anorexia and bulimia. Others, on the other hand, consider that parents should take care of their children and take responsibility of raising them. In my humble opinion, and as I know about these kinds of topics as I am a teacher, I would like to condemn governments for that. That being said, we should be realistic and notice that some parents do not really care about their children, as I saw frequently.
As I mentioned before, I had contact with these issues several times. In all cases, it was because their parents do not (or, sadly, could not) give to them a proper diet. Nonetheless, as a person that tries to have a good lifestyle when it comes to diet, sometimes it is really difficult to find healthy food in supermarkets. However, this is not about oneself, this is more about others. When you decide to raise a kid, it is not like having a plant. One has to be aware of how difficult, and, sometimes, excruciating this might be. Unfortunately, these issues are found not only in diet but also in studies.
I do consider that there is a thin boundary between individual responsibility and regulations. I do not believe that if a government decided to eradicate junk food or added sugars in food would, in and of itself, disappear all problems related to it; that is wishful thinking. Parents have to be careful and conscientious about their children and not to expect someone to raise them.
This is not a matter of political parties or ideologies (as sometimes they are ignorant when it comes to understand the reality that surrounds them, as they try to mold the world according to their interests), this is more about respect and self-consciousness. There is no point in having tons of propaganda telling you to do exercise if you do not care about that. And, as it seems crystal clear, I hope nobody expects to find someone at your door compelling you to follow a good lifestyle. The only thing you need is to behave as an adult, by hook or by crook.
I emphasized that concrete children’s case as I think my message would be clearer. Nonetheless, this can be extrapolated to many others. In the end, my point is: be careful of what you do today, as it can have egregious consequences in the future.

Bonjour à tous!
J'espère que tu vas bien. Je vais très bien, merci.
Donc, c'est ma première histoire que je vais raconter pour mes études de maîtrise du français
Mon fils et moi sommes allés à la plage samedi et dimanche.
Nous avons essayé d'attraper du poisson avec ses filets de pêche, mais nous n'y sommes pas parvenus.
Nous avons fini par attraper trois très petits poissons et les avons tous laissés repartir.
Mais tant pis. Le temps était magnifique et nous avons passé un excellent week-end à nous détendre au soleil et à passer du temps ensemble.
Merci! Passez une bonne journée et discutez bientôt.

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind is my favorite movie - and here's why.
The movie makes a great job in representing relationships and emotions. Emotions aren't just files that we store in our minds, but experiences that change us. Relationships can be complex and confusing at times. Hell, just existing can be hard at times.
Memories aren't just files that are stored in our brains, but experiences that change us. If we remove a memory from our brain, we change who we are.
To really engage in a relationship one must be prone to be hurt. As Schopenhauer has stated in his Hedgehog's Dilemma, it's very cold and a group of hedgehogs is trying to warm themselves, so they try to get closer, but when they get too close they end up hurting each other. The hedgehogs should find the ideal distance between themselves, where they won't hurt themselves or freeze to death. Relationships are similar. There's a fine balance that must be kept to it work.
I've been passionate about this movie for quite a while now, and I think it is because it is so darn good in representing relationships.
Thank you for reading. You're incredible. Have a nice day.

If we remove a memory from our brain, we change who we are. Relationships can be complex and confusing at times. Hell, just existing can be hard at times.
To really engage in a relationship we must be vulnerable.

The hedgehogs should find the ideal distance between themselves, where they won't hurt themselves or freeze to death. Relationships are similar.

Una breve comparación de las políticas en cuanto a los idiomas en peligro de extinción entre Francia y España
Hay más que 7 000 idiomas hablados por todo el mundo, aunque los lingüistas creen que hasta una mitad de ellos se van a extinguir para el fin del siglo. En los últimos años, muchos países han empezado a usar una variedad de estrategias para intentar evitar tal tragedia. No obstante, no todos los países trabajan para conservar sus idiomas minoritarios. La diferencia en política es especialmente visible entre Francia y España.
En Francia, los idiomas minoritarios han sido atacados durante varios siglos a tal extento que la mayoría tienen muy pocos hablantes ahora. El bretón, una lengua céltica, es la única de su familia que queda en el continente europeo. A pesar de esfuerzos recientes por parte de sus hablantes, siglos de desprecio por el gobierno francés han causado un bajo drástico en el número de hablantes de este antiguo idioma. Y desafortunadamente, este no es caso único. Muchos idiomas en Francia, como el euskara, corso o galo no tienen muchas protecciones legales ni hablantes, ya que durante siglos el gobierno ha intentado unificar la población bajo un solo idioma.
Por otro lado, hay España. Pese a la dictadura de Franco, los idiomas minoritarios han florecido más o menos a lo largo de su historia. Aunque aún hay muchos en peligro de extinción, como el argonés, a menudo cuentan con más protecciones legales...
