Just a Moment to Sit Back and Enjoy
As expected, the huge success obtained by the Spanish representative at the Eurovision Song Contest held in the Italian city of Turin on Saturday evening caused a great deal of controversy amongst those Spaniards who thought she and her performance wasn’t “politically correct” these days.
As you may not know about what I’m writing, I’ll provide you with some information on how the process to choose our Eurovision Festival representative works. This year, Spain opted to organise a music festival, Benidorm Fest, in which the artists taking part presented their best songs to win the ticket to Turin. Although the crowd favourites were the female singer-songwriter Rigoberta Bandini and the female Galician folk trio Tanxugueiras, the contest jury determined that the winner was the female singer and dancer Chanel. This decision was very controversial since her song, her performance and her appearance were the last thing the so-called progressives would be expecting to send to such an international music festival. I suppose, and this is just my humble point of view, they wanted to show at this festival how much we care for relevant issues like nationalism, Tanxugueiras, and feminism, Rigoberta Bandini. On the other hand, Chanel was just a female singer and dancer. You may be wondering what is wrong with her. Not only did Chanel’s outfit leave little to the imagination, or at least its bottom part, but she was also wearing a “chaquetilla”, the short and rigid jacket bullfighters wear. Her song was the perfect one expected to be presented at a music festival like Eurovision, or at least it was so in the past. Chanel dazzled the audience as well as the jury. So much so that she obtained a well-deserved third position after Ukraine, for obvious reasons, and the UK.
To my mind, there are better places to show your commitment with social issues and I’m not saying that Chanel wasn’t doing so in her own way. However, I think that, one in a while, we should allow us to sit back and enjoy by watching a group of bands and singers dancing and singing less crucial songs, especially keeping in mind the situation we’re living through.

16 mai 2022 - Échec impossible
Décrivez quelque chose que vous essaieriez si la réussite était garantie, et dites-nous pourquoi vous ne l’avez pas encore tentée.
Si la réussite était garantie, j’essaierais apprendre tous les langues du monde. C’est très cool de pouvoir parler et comprendre n’importe que dialogue au monde. Mais c’est un très grand projet parce que comme vous le savez, au-delà des langues officielles, il y a aussi de dialectes locales, par exemple, déjà en Chine, chaque région a son propre dialecte et le cantonais et le mandarin ne sont que deux d’entre eux. De plus, j’ai l’impression qu’aujourd’hui avec la mondialisation, tout le monde puisse parler l’anglais. Néanmoins, si je peux parler de langue locale, les locales seraient très contents et pourraient me prendre comme l’une d’entre eux.

渔民和小金鱼
有一对夫妇住在海边的破草棚。老人考大鱼为生存，妻子在家从事纺织。
一天，老人整天钓鱼，连一条鱼也没收，夕阳时他最后一次把鱼网拉进来，恰巧发现一条小金鱼躲着在网里。金鱼突然开始说话起来，使老人十分惊讶，请老人给他扔回去海里。老人就答应了，然后跑回家把这件事告诉妻子。
妻子对这个奇迹的现象一点也不感兴趣，就开始骂他的丈夫说："大笨蛋！你赶快回去向那条金鱼请求一个木盆。"
老人回去海边，呼唤金句，不久之后金鱼出现了，问老人有什么事。老人给金鱼转达妻子的要求，金鱼回答："好的。你回家时会有个新木盆。"
老人回家，果然看到妻子确实在用着一个崭新的木盆。反而妻子似乎更生气，骂老人一个要命，使他又去找金鱼请求信的房子。
老人全服从妻子，为了满足她的要求他又去海边。仍旧金鱼答应了这个要求，但是不管怎么样妻子就越来越贪心，把丈夫看作奴隶似的不断使他向金鱼请求奢侈的事物，她家变成了大大的宫殿，一致她最后的要求就是她想当世界上最强大的女皇。
被虐待到无精打采的老人走到海边请金鱼实现老婆的希望。这一次他等待着很久，总算金鱼出来了，但是金鱼一听到这个要求它就没说话而失去了。
老人回家，面对着一个惊人的情景：一切从鱼所给予的东西都消失了，只留着夫妻先前的怕草棚。

Comment prendre soin de soi
Selon moi, en faisant du sport peut nous rendre plus sain. D'abord, le sport est indispensable pour améliorer notre système cardiovasculaire, c'est-à-dire notre coeur. Le coeur est la batterie de notre corps, sans le coeur, on est mort. Le sport, comme jogging, basket, le foot, etc. peut aussi entraîner tous les muscles dans notre corps. Cela peut aussi aider les enfants et adolescents à grandir plus vite. Le sport sécrète aussi les endorphines, qui nous mettrons de bonne humeur.
En conclusion, le sport est très essentiel pour prendre soin de notre santé physique et mentale au même moment.

Prèmierement, il est essentiale que on fasse des sports. Les sports ne doivent pas ce que on détestes. Il y a une variété des sports pour une variété des personnalities.

Stress among young people
Theme: Today's teenagers have more stressful lives than previous generations.
Discuss this view and give your own opinion.
Some people argue that today's teenagers have more stressful lives than previous generations. In today's modern world, so many things can be stressors for teenagers. Currently, the development of technology is significantly fast and because of that, some people have trouble with adapting new kind of lifestyle.
Some teenagers strongly addicted by the internet, for instance. I, myself, addicted by YouTube and watching YouTube in the middle of the night always makes me stay up late.
Furthermore, as a student, internet addiction can be an obstacle of study. In that kind of way, due to the development of new technology, teenagers can get stressed.
However, from my perspective, today's teenagers have less stress level compared to the previous generations. I guess it depends on the definition of previous, but in general, stress level has a lot to do with economics, not only for adults but also for teenagers, as economical wealth can affect great deal of things for teenagers like parents' jobs, demands for a part-time job, price of comodity and so on. In that sense, most countries has grew in economically compared to 1900s. It means today's teenagers have more options for their job, enable to get money easily, able to go to the private university, etc.
In conclusion, new technology like SNS can have a bad influence on teenagers. But I would like to mention that today's teenagers have more happy lives than previous generations and it can be explained by the economic growth, in my opinion.

My Favorite thing to eat for breakfast
I love to eat fruits as breakfast which is very light and easily digestable
But the challenge is which type of fruits to be chosen for myself am talking
I have some issues with dental, so I can not eat too much citric fruits
However I love them though
Somehow I do not prefer to have on daily basis an apple, though the saying goes an apple keeps the doctor away
Also for me my choice of fruits where am based
In Africa mangoes, bananes , papayas, Avacados are so fresh and organic

Kommentar über ein Lied
Hallo lieben Hörer! Das ist Lea für die Wochenpodcast. Ich will heute über ein raggae Lied sprachen. Tatsächlich, musst ihr vielleicht denken, dass Musiktyp, die alle Tag Tüten rauchen. Aber wisst ihr, wie dieses Musik engagieren ist? Garten Von Gentleman ist ein geniales Beispiel.
Von aussen betrachtet, ist dieses Lied eine Ode. Er singt über Pflanzen und Blumen. Das ist Klischee.
Jedoch wenn wir aufmerksam höchen (das Lied, aber ich finde nicht wie kann ich dieses Wort ersetzen um nicht zu wiederholen), sind die Wörter tiefer als wir können denken. Die Hälfte von Bevölkerung liebt heute in Städte. Die Meisten werken, sich um kind bestzen und haben kein Zeit für sich. Wir haben fast Lebn, zu fast. Und die Menschen wer diesen Rythmus nicht folgend, sind wie Abfällte für die Gesellschaft beträchtlich. Viele Meschen immer suchen besser, bessere Häuser, bessere Maschinen. Wir suchen grösser une schöner um glücklich zu sein. Und ob wir uns irren? Ob das Glück woanders ist? Gentleman zeigt uns. Viele Menschen sind in unserer Gesellschaft verloren. Sie leiden unter Burnout und Depressionen. Gentleman schlägt unserer Gesellschaft eine Antonyme vor. Brauchen wir wirklich zu fast Leben? Das klar nicht. Er lernt uns, um glücklich zu sein, müssen wir stoppen sie uns und beobachten. Warum wir nicht nur akzeptieren wer wir ist und wer die andere ist?
und Manchmal wir brauchen die Leute reden lassen und lassen die Welt bisschen warten.
Danke, dass Sie mir zugehört haben und bis nächste Woche

How does receiving a gift make you feel?
It makes me feel great and happy because it means I received the love from others. Gifts from others reflect people want to send kindness to you. They want to build a connection with you and it is an endorsement. How cannot I be happy when I received love.
This is a gentle question and it rouses my thinking. In recent I try to start giving birthday gifts to my friends because I was very busy and never build a connection with my good friends consciously. I don’t think it is a good habit and I have changed it.
My friends are all glad when they know they will get a gift even if they don’t know what it is. In other words, people don’t like the gifts themselves most times, they love the emotion behind them.
I hope my answer can help you and you are doing well.
Thank you for reading. Have a nice day~

毕业论文的困惑
今年就是我的第二学位的毕业项目。我之前在美国读了一个语言专业的本科。现在为了改变自己的行业又读了第二个学位。这四年过得真快，我不知不觉就忙到最后一个学期。在中国和很多国家的大学里面本科生的最后一个学期专注于一个毕业项目。因为我将来想继续读一个硕士学位我选了做一个研究项目，这样我可以更深的了解实验室操作和过程。不巧的是我导师排关我的那个硕士生像很多理工科生一样，特别的内向。我是一个美国人，长期在中国生活，我中文还行。所以面临沟通的问题我很熟悉，因为每天都会遇到那样的问题。长了像我这样的一个洋脸，你免不了碰见一些误会。在实验室里面工作了好几个星期才下了一个理论。跟内线的理工科交流的时候为了避免误会或不舒服的寂寞，你得意外的外向。这样才能让对方舒服一些。他们可能从来没有跟外国人说过话，还有他们从小都以为跟外国人说话要用英语，英语不好的话就够紧张了吧。所以从执行了这个方法之后我发现我自己的收获涨了好几倍，自己对实验室的认识和了解加深了许多。
快要答辩，祝我幸运吧！
感谢大家的时间和改正！

La Soledad
!Hola! Voy a contaros un secreto. Me gusta mucho la soledad. Quizá alguna gente me juzgaría y diría que yo soy solo o triste pero de hecho, no es el caso. Simplemente me encanta hacer lo que quiero hacer cuando quiero hacerlo.
Por ejemplo, el viernes pasado mis amigos me invitaron a tomar algo con ellos después del trabajo. Los dijé que yo estaba super cansado y rechacé su invitación. Fue una mentira, la verdad es quería estar solo. Mientras mis amigos estaban tomando copas y cañas, yo cociné un plato de pasta super delicioso y escuché a mi música favorita.
Esto no es decir que yo odio a mis amigos, los agradezco mucho. Solo que valoro mi tiempo libres a veces. Espero que no me juzguéis también.

Benefits of language learning
I reckon that learning and mastering a foreign language is important. Also, this skill enables us to travel around the world and do not need to worry different language stuffs.
In the hope of traveling around the world, I decide to study another language which is used by most people. (My biggest motivation of studying another language is that I hope to travel around the world. Is this sentence right?)
I would say that studying another language benifits us a lot. Firstly, it makes us have a better understanding of the target language countries and increase the knowledge of their culture and manner. Secondly, through some Apps, I can make friends with foreigners as well. Chatting with like-minded people can put me in a good mood! We can share things happened around us as well as beautiful pictures with each other via mails or Instagram.
Overall, I would suggest that we learn several languages when we are young. Of course, it will never be too lte to study an language.

L'ÉTAT-PROVIDENCE
Dès la fin du 19e siècle, plusieurs pays ont adopté l’État-providence comme forme de politique. Ce type d’organisation a comme objectif que l’État intervienne activement dans les domaines économique et sociale afin d’assurer le bien-être de la population, en faisant attention aux aspects tels que le chômage, le vieillissement ou la santé.
En France, ce système s’est consacré après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Aujourd’hui, certains considèrent que ce modèle de gestion est en faillite, alors que d’autres pensent qu’il peut encore protéger efficacement aux citoyens. Cependant, il faut noter qu’il est en crise depuis les années 70, pour plusieurs raisons, comme le ralentissement de la croissance de la population et de l’activité économique, et la hausse du chômage.
De ma part, je considère qu’il y a des allocations sociales qui sont indispensables dans le cadre de la société d’aujourd’hui, comme celles de la perte d’emploi et l’insertion professionnelle, du logement ou de la famille.
Un autre sujet qui suscite souvent de la polémique est celui des coupes budgétaires : par exemple, l’un des secteurs les plus affectés est celui de la santé (surtout à la suite de la crise sanitaire actuelle). Le financement des hôpitaux et des établissements médico-sociaux a subi des coupes colossales dans leurs budgets, en ayant comme principales conséquences la fermeture des centres médicaux, la réduction du personnel sanitaire ou le manque de ressources. De nombreuses études témoignent de cette réalité, en montrant que les hôpitaux français ont subi près de 12 milliards d’euros de coupes budgétaires dans la dernière décennie.

Call 1
Could you please correct anything that's wrong or unnatural in my sentences?
I'd like to learn some common phrases and slang！ 🙇♂️
Also, I'd like to get your advice on talking to foreign people
I look forward to your constructive comments.✍️
By the way, "A" is me and "B" is a foreigner.
A: Hello?
B: Hi!
A: Are you Simon?
B: Yeah!
A: Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Sho.
B: Nice to meet you too!
A: Is it okay if I call you Simon?
Do you want me to call you "Sai" or "Mon" or something like that? haha
B: Please call me as you like. haha
A: In Russia, is there a word that you use to politely call someone by their name, like "‾san" in Japan, when you first talk someone?
B: Yes, there is.
We use the name of the person's father.
For example, if President Putin's name is "Владимир" and his father's name is "Владимирович", we call him "Владимир Владимирович".
A: So do I have to know the father's name in order to call a Russian person by their honorific title like "◯◯-san"?
B: Yes.
So, if the person you are addressing is a superior, you must remember their name and father's name when you meet them for the first time and ask for their father's name if they does not give you them business card.
A: I see, I learn something new. Thank you! haha
B: But you don't have to use it now because it is used in business situations or when you need to be polite.
A: Got it!
I'll call you Simon then.
B: Yes!
A: By the way, do you want me to correct all your Japanese on this call? do you just want someone to understand what you mean even if your Japanese is wrong?
B: Uh, I want you to correct everything.
A: Gotcha!
So, as we talk naturally, if your Japanese is wrong, I can correct it each time?
B: Yes.
A: Also, do you want me to correct your Japanese in a polite way or in a natural, casual way?
B: Casual, please!
A: OK.
B: And would you like to practice intonation? Or would you like to leave intonation for now?
B: It is very difficult to overcome intonation, so if my Japanese is correct first, it will be fine for now.
A: Got it!
B: What about you?
A: I don't speak Russian at all, so I'd like to hear about Russia in English or Japnese and hear about things from a Russian point of view.
B: Okay.
A: By the way, have you ever used this app to make a phone call?
B: Yes.
A: Oh, I just got this app, so it's my first time to make a phone call.
B: Oh, really?
A: Yeah, plus when I think about it, this is the first time in my life that I'm talking to a Russian person. You are the first Russian I've ever talked to.
B: Oh, really!?
A: Yeah, What’s so surprising? lol Do you get many chances to talk to foreigners? Have you ever met and talked with Japanese people?
B: Yeah, I have. There was a Japanese student at my university, so I have.
A: Oh, I see. There were not many European students at my university. There were none in my department.
B: Which countries were most of them from?
A: Asian. Korean, Chinese, Myanmar, and so on.
B: I see.
A: There are people in Japan who look Russian, but I don't know if they are really Russian, so maybe I haven't even seen them.
I don't know how to distinguish between people from countries surrounding Russia.
Can you tell the difference between a Japanese and a Chinese and a Korean?
B: It's difficult, but surprisingly I can tell. lol
A: No way. haha
Even I sometimes make mistakes. haha
Have you ever talked to someone who you thought was Russian, but turned out to be from a different country?
B: Well, it happens that they were Ukrainians. haha
A: I see, there are people who were born in Russia but grew up in Ukraine, and vice versa, right?
B: Yes.
A: Hmm, Russian...
I wonder who are the famous Russians in Japan? Hmmm I wonder the Russians I know...
B: You know President Puchin?
A: Oh, yeah! He's famous.
Especially now that he is in the news every day. lol
Oh, yeah! Gorbachev is famous too.
Also Stalin.
Political people are famous.
And Gagarin. Not politics though. lol
B: I see.
A: Oh! There he is! I just remembered!
A famous Russian in Japan!
It's Hyodor!
B: Oh, really?
A: Sure! If you were to ask Japanese, "who is the strongest in human race?" they will all say "Hyodor.
Maybe. haha
B: I think it's different now. haha
A: Oh, and Alexander Karelin is famous too in Japan. If you ask the Japanese, "who is the strongest in primates?" they will all say Karelin.
Perhaps. haha
Anyways, who is the most famous Japanese in Russia?
B: Well... I don't know who is the most famous, but I guess Hayao Miyazaki is famous.
A: Oh, Ghibli!
Have you seen them too?
B: Yes!
A: What do you like best?
B: Well, I wonder what number one would be...
It depends on my mood.
But the one that just popped into my head is "Porco Rosso"!
A: Oh, really? haha That's rare. You're Rare Pokemon. haha
B: Whyyy? haha
"Marco" is so cool, isn't he?
Do you dislike "Porco Rosso"?
A: No, I don't dislike it at all!
But I haven't heard too many people say it first on their list of favorites.
I guess most of them are around Spirited Away, Totoro, Princess Mononoke.
B: Yeah, right. haha
It's the same in Russia. "Spirited Away" and "Howl" and so on are popular.
A: Oh, all countries are the same, right? Except for Simon. haha
B: Yeah, looks that way. haha
A: AnywaysI like Spirited Away!
How about "Spirited Away"? Simon points, out of 10.
B: Well, 7 points. lol
A: Why so low! haha
B: Well, it's not bad, but it doesn't make me wanna watch it again.
A: Really!? I've probably seen it 50 times or more. haha So I must be an oddball for Simon.
B: Yeah, you are. haha
A: But from my point of view, you are an oddball. haha
Anyways, what do you think of Japanese anime in Russia?
B: There are people who watch it.
But I don't watch much.
A: Uh-huh.
B: I used to watch them when I was a kid, but not anymore.
A: I see.
What are the popular anime in Russia?
B: Recently, I guess "Demon Slayer" and and things like that.
A: Ah ha, I knew it, cuz all countries are the same. haha
What about Japanese movies?
B: Well, I think more people watch TV dramas than Japanese movies.
A: Do you watch them?
B: I don't watch much. haha
But I have seen the old ones. What was the name of that.... oh, "Departures"?
A: Oh, "Departures", how was it?
B: Hmm, yeah. It was good.
Oh, and I recently saw Drive My Car.
A: Oh, the one that won some kind of Academy Award?
B: Yes!
A: How was it?
B: Better than I thought.
A: Oh, I see, but I realized again winning an Academy Award has a great effect, because it prodded even Simon to watch a Japanese movie. haha
B: Yeah, exactly. haha
I guess when movies win awards, other countries wanna import them. Other Japanese films don't get imported very often.
A: Oh, I see. I think it's true because Most Japanese films these days are made for the domestic market, so maybe people overseas don't want them.
By the way, do you usually watch movies on streaming services?
B: Well, I can watch them for free.
A: Hey! haha You can't do that!
That's illegal!
B: I'm sorry. haha
A: Oh I see, now I know. In Japan, video rental shops are disappearing. I thought it was because of streaming services, but because of you! haha
B: Yeah, it's possible. haha

Mon anniversaire
Hier, c'était mon anniversaire. J'ai pris mon petit déjeuner préféré, le pain grillé avec du buerre de cacahuète et du chocolat, le yaourt au caramel salé et un bol de raisins et de myrtilles. J'ai ouvri mes cadeaux, un livre en français et une robe verte étaient mes préférés! J'ai parlé à ma grand-mère au téléphone et puis j'ai essayé de faire un peu de revision (mais je n'ai pu pas...). Au déjeuner, j'ai mangé du fromage et des biscuits, il y avait du fromage bleu, je trouve que c'est un des meilleurs fromages. Il fait chaud et il ne pleut pas (pour une fois...) mais ma mère était un peu fatiguée donc on a seulement fait une petite promenade. Le soir, on est allés à Bristol pour manger au restaurant coréen. Je l'ai adoré! On a mangé trois plat, mon plat principal c'était le bibimbap (vraiment délicieux). Quand on est retournés à la maison, on a regardé la fin d'Eurovision et la Grande Bretagne a plus de succès que d'habitude, c'était suprenant. En tout, c'était une bonne journée.

사진을 설명합니다
(사진은 올리지 않겠지만 상상해 봅니다.)
먼저 사진에서 볼 수 있는 것을 설명하겠습니다. 이 사진에는 3(세) 명의 사람이 있습니다. 저와 제 친구 2(두) 명이에요. 오른쪽에 있는 제 친구가 James이고 왼쪽에 있는 제 친구가 Mia이고 저는 친구들 사이에 있어요. James은 18(열여덟) 살입니다. 간 곱슬머리와 초록은 눈은 있고 빨간 재킷을 입고 있어요. Mia는 16(열여섯) 살입니다. 긴 금발 머리와 파란 눈은 있고 하얀 블라우스를 입고 있어요. 제 머리도 Mia의 머리처럼 금발이지만 Mia의 머리보다 짧아요. 우리는 모두 카페의 테이블에 앉아서 웃고 있으면서 사진을 찍어요. 사진을 찍기 전에 커피나 따뜻한 음료수를 주문했을 테니까 테이블 위에 잔이 많이 있어요. Vanilla chai latte를 주문했기 기억해요. 요즘 제가 가장 좋아하는 따뜻한 음료수입니다.
제 친구들에 대해, 나는 James을 2(두) 살 때부터 알고 Mia를 13(열세) 살쯤 만났습니다. 다 같은 학교 친구인데 저보다 어리기 때문에 같은 학년은 아니다.
이 사진을 찍은 날에 저와 친구들이 Easter 방학 동안 만났어요. 방학에 제 고향에 돌아갔는데 친구들을 만나지 못한 지 4(사) 개월이 되었을 테니까 친구들을 만나러 가고 싶었어요. (//방학에 제 고향에 돌아갔는데 오랜만에 친구들을 만나지 못했을 테니까 만나라 가고 싶었어요??) 이날 시내에서 친구와 같이 쇼핑하고 중식당에서 점심도 먹고 산책도 하고 마지막으로 카페에 갔어요. 날씨가 조금 추웠고 비가 와서 이 따뜻한 카페에 가는 것이 좋은 생각이었습니다.

저의 방학 (간접화법)
Easter 방학 전에 방학 동안 가족을 만나기 위해서 고향에 돌아갈 생각을 하고 있었습니다. 가기 전에 어머니가 전화해서 방학 동안 10(십) 일 동안 Italia에 간다고 했어요. 저는 이것에 대해 아주 행복해졌어요. 먼저 고향에 가서 가족들과 만나고 나서 가족들과 함께 Italia에 가려고 했어요. 남동생이 학교에 지쳐서 Italia에 빨리 가고 싶다고 했어요. 아버지가 어머니는 Italia의 Puglia라는 지역으로 여행을 계획하고 있다고 했어요. 어머니는 우리가 Puglia의 여러 도시를 방문할, 간다고 했어요. 경치들이 너무 아름다웠기 때문에 아주 재미있었어요. 어머니는 도시들의 역사에 대해서 책을 사서 우리가 도시들을 방문하면서 우리에게 읽어주고 설명해 주겠다고 했어요. 도시들을 방문하면서 우리는 또한 Italia 피자와 파스타처럼 많은 맛있는 Italia 음식을 먹어 봤어요.
그런데 한 번은 남동생은 계속 산책하고 역사적인 건물을 방문하는 것이 조금 재미없다고 했습니다. 사실, 동생이 아직 작으니까 놀고 싶어 하는 것도 알겠어요 (이해해요?). 그래서 아버지는 사파리에 가서 다른 것을 해보자고 했어요. 어머니는 괜찮다고 했어요. 사파리에 도착할 때 먼저 운전하고 많은 동물을 가깝게 봤어요. 남동생은 동물들을 보기 위해 계속 창문을 열었는데, 저는 동물들이 들어오는 것을 좀 무서워서 창문을 닫으라고 했어요. 그래도 사파리를 한 번 가본 적이 없었고 아주 재미있었어요.
