My trip to Switzerland: Day 3, afternoon
After the hike at the First, my wife and I headed back for the cable car station at the main tourist area in Grindelwald. We were tired, but we sticked to our original plan of a hike at Meannlichen. We took a trail called Panorama Hiking Trail, that took us around 2 hours to Kleinen Scheidegg. In the middle of the trail, we saw a herdsman guiding a herd of cows with their herding dogs and a procession of them walking in the opposite direction. It was my very first time to see herding and a very pleasant experience for us. The view from the trail was also scenic and by far exceeded my expectation. After the trail, we headed back to the main station in Grindelwald in which we could find a train to go to the nearest station to our hotel. I was filled with the satisfaction with the pleasant hike, but I was also a bit pissed off by one difficult-to-understand event. When we were heading to the main station, I passed by a shop to buy a cigarette as there was a smoking stand. When I was about to lid fire on a cigarette, a cashier who rang up the sale of the cigarette took away the stand which was right in front of me. I was a bit offended, because I saw a pile of ash on the stand and felt like that cashier intentionally took it away so I cannot smoke there. We actually had a bit of difficulty in communication when I bought the cigarette and that might have annoyed or irritated the cashier, but I am pretty sure I tried to keep behaving in the best way I can do. I anyway tried not to be obsessed with this too much, because I didn't want to let this event, regardless which person was bad, ruin all the great experiences I had so far on this day. After the train, we grabbed some delis at a supermarket and ate them in our room of the hotel. We also went to a self-service pub nearby our hotel. Pouring beer by myself was much fun and all beers I tried were delicious. I was glad that the day was over with this nice new experience.

Dîner avec nos amis
C’était une soirée très géniale. Nous avons été invités à dîner chez nos amis. Nous nous entendons très bien et nous sommes amis depuis 40 ans. Nous avions travaillé dans le même hôtel et dans la même année nous avions déménagé à l’Australie.
Nos enfants ont le même âge et pendant leur enfance nous avions fait beaucoup de vacances ensemble. Maintenant, nos filles sont adultes et elles vivent dans une autre ville, mais notre amitié continue et nous nous voyons souvent.
À 18:30h, nous sommes allés chez nos amis. Ils vivent dans la banlieue voisine, seulement 15minute à vol d’oiseau. Comme j’ai remarqué, nous travaillions dans un hôtel et ils étaient chefs professionnels. Comme toujours, le repas était délicieux. Nous avons parlé de tout et de rien et la soirée s’est terminée en beauté.

Nettoyage de printemps
Officiellement, le printemps a débuté le premier septembre. Bien qu’il soit printemps, il fait encore froid. Malgré la météo j’ai le pas vif et léger. Cette hiver a été rude et les jours étaient nuageux et gris. De plus, il pleuvait beaucoup.
Ce week-end, j’ai décidé de faire un grand nettoyage, un « spring clean » comme on dit en anglais. Je suis consciencieuse et fais le ménage régulièrement. Je passe la serpillière et l’aspirateur, je nettoie les salles de bains, les chambres et la cuisine.
En ce qui concerne le nettoyage de printemps, en plus, je vais nettoyer des fenêtres, ranger des étagères et des placards. Je possède des vêtements que je ne porte plus et j’ai l’intention de les donner à und boutique caritative. Oui, le week-end sera chargé mais enrichissant.

Day 1
I started this app for level up of my English skill especially writing.
Anyway, I think you need self-introduction.
I'm a college student in Japan. And I'm learning English because I want to get high score of TOEIC.
Do you know TOEIC? This is an English exam which is famous in Japan.
TOEIC is consisted of four skills. Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing.
Maybe, it's too hard but I'll do my best!!

family
My parents are in their fourties. Both my mom and dad are 42 years old. I love my parents very much. They are funny and I feel good with them. But sometimes they are very strict. If I meet friends they want me to be home by 8 pm. And they don't let me go to school in clothes that I like. They are strict, but I know that they only do this for my good and because they are worried about me.
Usaully it is my mother who i get on better with. She is very understanding and helps me with a lot of good advice. I also talk to my father about problems, but less often because he works a lot.
My parents get on well with each other. They discuss everything together, if they don’t have the same opinion, they try to reach an agreement without an argument. They love each other and they love me very much. They are very nice parnts.

family
I love my siblings very much. If there is a problem, we talk about it. We laugh a lot together at family dinners. We may be siblings, but each of us has a different personality. I don't think I want to change the current situation. I really love my siblings and I get along well with them.
My parents divorced 10 years ago. My mother had a great responsibility to raise three children alone. But she was only a single mom for a few years. She met my foster father 7 years ago and we have been living together ever since. They got married two years ago. I quickly fell in love with my new father. His name is László Kovács. He's a very good dad. He has very good sense of humor. He loves us very much. He supports and helps us. He can always make me laugh. He is sometimes nervous about his work, I can understand him. It is difficult to work in 3 shifts.
My mother is pretty and beautifull women. She’s medium leight. She’s got blond, cury hair and greenish brown eyes. She heart of gold. Basically I take after my dad in looks, but I have got mother’s character. We atre both very affecttionate. She can always make me laugh. There are a lot of features I admire in her as person, such as how organized and responsible she is, how loving and caring she is towards her family and others. Sheis very family-oriented: her most importent aim is to have a happy family. She does everything for us. She is really unselfish she never thinks about herself, but alwys thinks of other people first. I wish you would take care of yourself more.

Estoy triste
Hoy estoy triste porque escribí ayer y anteayer, pero nadie quiere corregir lo que escribí. No lo entiendo. Yo siempre corrijo a los demás. Regresé a mi casa y la encontré muy caliente. ¿Puede ser que haya algo mal con mi aire acondicionado? Ojalá que no. Estoy tratando de escribir aquí cada día, pero se está haciendo más difícil porque me estoy quedando sin temas sobre escribir. Si alguien tiene algunas sugerencias, se le agradecería mucho. Gracias por leer y por su ayuda.

Family
The most important word in my life is family. I love my fmily. So when I hear this word I think of peolple who are happy thogether, who love each other. I think of mum, dad, sister, brother, grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins. They are the people who I can rely on when I need them. I know that my family will always be there for me. We support each other.
I have a big family, we are five: my mother, my father, my brother, my sister and myself.
I have a sister and a brother.
My sister is 2 years younger than me. Our personalities are completely different. She is lazy and grumpy. While I am hardworking and persistent in my goals. I try to guide her on the right path. We are different but we still understand each other well. When she is sad, I always try to comfort her and give her good advice.
My brother is a year older. There is not much of an age difference between us. I used to not get along with him. We had a lot of disagreements and fights. But over time, I have come to like him more. We have a lot in common and we help each other achieve our goals. We share our problems and help each other. Our taste in music is similar.

Mi Ciudad
Estoy en una ciudad antigua y bonita. Esta en el este de China. Tiene muchos edificios antiguos y calles estrechas en donde el tiempo se para. Las casas tienen muros blancos y techos negros, y junto a ellas estan los ríos bonitos, en donde paseamos en bote. La vida aquí es despaciosa y pacífica. Me encanta.

Un breve saggio sulla lingua giapponese (2/12)
Un breve saggio sulla lingua giapponese (2/12)
Nessuna lingua è più difficile di un'altra. Siamo tutti umani. Però leggere il giapponese è duro. Certo, non è impossibile: migliaia di stranieri imparano a farlo ogni giorno. Ma è un enorme investimento di tempo ed energie. Il sistema di lettura giapponese è dieci volte più complicato di qualsiasi alfabeto europeo.
Ci sono due alfabeti fonetici giapponesi, il hiragana e il katakana con circa 47 lettere. Dico "circa", perché ci sono alcune lettere più antiche che si vedono in qualche poste, ma non sono ufficiali e non sono insegnante a scuola (ne parleremo più avanti.) Linguisticamente, i due alfabeti sono identici, ma sono scritti diversamente. Ad esempio, la lettera "sa" è scritta "さ" in hiragana e "サ" in katakana. Ogni "lettera" giapponese è o una vocale o una combinazione di vocale e consonante. L'unica lettera che è una consonante a pieno titolo è la lettera "n". "ん" in hiragana e "ン" in katakana.

Fast Fashion
Fast Fashion ist ein Begriff, der beschreibt, ein Modell in der Modenindustrie, bei denen Klamotten sehr schnell und in großer Mengen hergestellt und verkauft werden. Diese Produkte auszeichnen sich durch schlechte Qualität, aber sie sind günstig, daher sind für jeder erreichbar. Das Problem ist, dass wegen der schnellen Veränderungen des Trends und der schlimmen Qualität der Kleidungen, den sich beispielweise nur ein paar Mal benutzt werden könnten, enden alles schnell im Müll.
Auf der anderen Seite...ich werde morgen weiter machen.

Eine Filmzusammenfassung
Der Film "The Silence of the Lambs" ist ein hervorragende Film. Die Hauptfigur Clarice Starling trainiert mit dem FBI. Am Anfang vom Film informiert Jack Crawford ihr, dass sie mit dem kriminalen Pyschiater Dr. Hannibal Lekter sprechen muss. Lekter hilft Clarice durch dem Film einen Serienmörd zu finden. Sie auch verlieben sich in einem anderen Film aber ich werde das ignorieren.

Lange Reise mit einem Auto
Ich fahre gerne nicht Auto. Aber das war der Fall in der Vergangenheit. Meine Meinung hat sich geändert, als ich nach Deutschland umgezogen hat.
Meine längste Reise mit dem Auto ist vier Stunde ohne Pause. Ich bin von Kuala Lumpur bis Penang gefahren. Ich habe auch eine zwei Wochen Reise mit meinen Freunden gemacht, aber ich habe nicht gefahren, sondern meine Freunde.
Ich überbrücke die Zeit mit Musik oder Podcast hören. Wenn ich nicht fahre, dann stricke ich oder quatsche ich mit meinem Freund.

N4総まとめの復習試験について (off topic)
I'm sorry in advance for publishing it here, for some reason the HiNative doesn't let me publish any questions.
I've been trying the mock JLPT N4 vocab tests from the Sou Matome (総まとめ) vocabulary textbook, and I've stumbled upon the question that asks you to pick the sentence with closest meaning for the following:
かれがべんきょう しているのは、めずらしいことです。
And there were two options I had a trouble choosing from:
かれはあまりべんきょう しません。今日は しています。 - the correct version according to answer keys; and
かれはあまりべんきょう しません。今日もしません。
It seemed to me as though the __のは construction just tells something about the event stated in the __ part, and doesn't necessarily mean that the __ clause happened and in this case it is not that clear whether the clause holds true for today.
Am I wrong in thinking that and is there some nuance on refering to clauses with の? Or is this case really ambiguous? Thank you in advance!

Proteste in Großbritanien
Seit gestern befinden sich zahlreiche Proteste gegen die illegale Migration in Großbritanien. Ihr Umfang ist immens: bis 150.000 Menschen haben sich am 13. September an einem Marsch in London beteiligen. Einer der Hauptgründe dahinter ist erheblich gestiegene Kriminalität vor dem Hintergrund der riesigen Anzahl von kommenden illegalen Migranten, vor allem aus arabischen Länder. Die Protestenden behaupten, dass die Regierung vernachlässigt die Sicherheit ihren Bürger und ergreift, gelinde gesagt, nicht die effektivsten Maßnahmen, um die Lage zu verändern. Einer der Anlässe der Proteste ist die Geschichte mit Hotels geworden: seit Covid-Zeiten bezahlt die Regierung aus der Tasche der Steuerzahler Hotelzimmer für Asylbewerber, was keine Plätze für gewöhnliche Menschen lässt und eine Menge an Geld erfordert.
Das Verhältnis der Bevölkerung zu der Ausländerpolitik ist nicht eindeutig: während die einen Maßnahmen gegen den illegalen Migranten rassistisch nennen, unterstützen die anderen sie und behaupten, dass sie noch früher getroffen waren sollten. Zum Beispiel mein bekannter Engländer lernt seit einigen Monaten sehr fleißig Polnisch, damit er nach Polen in der absehbaren Zukunft umziehen kann. Das Land und seine Politik finde ich auch interesant, sodass ich dem einen weiteren Aufsatz widmen möchte.
