Practice
Before, the land of the village belonged to all villagers. They farmed together. After they harvested crops, they distributed the grains to each family. As they farmed together, no one wanted to work hard, so they only got little production. Therefore, they often suffer starvation. On one day in 1979, eighteen families got together to discuss how to distribute their land to each family and farm separately. At that time, this deed was totally against China's agricultural policies. You know China is a socialist country and the Chinese government saw this deed as capitalist practice. It was totally forbidden. The 18 people knew that their behavior was dangerous, so they did that secretly and reached an agreement that if one of them was arrested because of this, other people should raise his children until the children were 18 years old. Xiaogang village, Fengyang County, is very famous because of this event.
The Chinese saying is: to drink water, one monk uses his shoulder, one shoulder pole and two buckets to get water, two monks use one carrying pole and one bucket to carry water, three monks never have water.

Día 5 de mi reto español: mañana
¡Hola a todos! Que les vaya bien.
Hoy fue mi último día del trabajo por la semana pasada. Hay muchas planes por mañana.
A las diez, tengo que ir a la orientación de mi uni. Será de cuatro horas. Ahí conoceré las personas que van a empezar uni conmigo la próxima semana. Tengo nervios de conocerlas, pero estoy emocionada para hacer amigos nuevos.
Como dije en mi último diario, mi amiga ha vuelto a Australia de Europa. Cuando estaba en France, me compró algunos libros en español. Uno de los es llamado ‘Una corona para tu entierra’ por James Hadley Chase. Solo he leído pocas páginas y ya estoy enamorándome del estilo de escribir. Pienso que es porque era traducido de inglés a español.
Además, esta tarde tenía mi primera lección pagada de español con una mujer mexicana. Era tan amable y me ha ganado mucha confianza en mi nivel de hablar. Voy a seguir practicándolo con ella.
Gracias por leer. 😁

Vida cotidiana 11
Escribo este diario desde una habitación de un hotel en la ciudad de Tallahassee, en el estado de Florida. Ayer por la mañana salimos de Austin (Texas) a las 7, con destino a Miami. Paramos anoche alrededor de las 10. Ya que hemos entrado en la zona horaria del este, saltamos una hora más adelante. Pronto vamos a salir y espero que podamos alcanzar el punto más sureño de Florida antes de que el sol se ponga.

Il raffreddore
Sono in congedo per malattia questi giorni perché non mi sento affatto bene - mi sono presa un raffreddore.
Spero di sentire meglio domani, non so quando ritorno al lavoro, forse venerdì. Bevo molti tè caldi, prendo le medicine due volte al giorno e mi riposo il più possibile. È colpa mia - sono uscita di casa durante il weekend anche se non mi sentivo bene.
Sono fortunata di avere un datore di lavoro comprensivo. Altri posti di lavoro non hanno questa opportunità.
Questo è tutto per oggi, vado a letto, faccio un pisolino e poi mangio qualcosa. A domani, mio caro diario!

La sécheresse
Ces dernières semaines, il y avait plusieurs articles publiés d’une grande sécheresse qui touchait une partie de l’Europe et certains pays africains. Parlons tout d’abord de l’Europe, l’article qui m’a plus touchée, parlait des célèbres gondoles de Venise. Le titre d’article était: les célèbres gondoles de Venise, nouvelles victimes du réchauffement climatique. Apparemment, certains canaux n’ont pas assez d’eau pour pouvoir passer sous les ponts. Chaque année, des millions de touristes visitent Venise, aussi connue comme la ville des amoureux, seulement pour faire un tour en gondole et se faire chanter une sérénade. Cette année, ils risquent d’être déçus.
Passons en France, d’après Météo-France, la France métropolitaine a connu 32 jours sans pluie, un nouveau record historique. Le mois de février était exceptionnellement sec. Je sais que l’année dernière, certaines regions européens ont connu des températures très élevées. Je me pose la question : ce qui va se passer cette année.
Finalement, passons en Corne de l’Afrique qui est menacée par une famine très grave. Au Kenya, en Éthiopie et en Somalie, 23 millions de personnes sont déjà en sécurité alimentaire et les responsables ont peur que la situation ne fasse qu’empirer. Malheureusement, la famine en Afrique n’est pas inconnue: il y a dix ans que des centaines de milliers de personnes ont été tué. J’espère que cela ne va pas arriver cette fois-ci.

A Story
It was 18 o'clock. I was about to get out of the classroom but something inside me was telling me that Ray was acting in a strange way.
He usually is distracted and calm but I caught him looking at me couple of times and he immediately looked away and blushed. I thought that it was normal, after all, he is fairly shy. But today I realized the true reason why he was acting in that way.
He got up from his chair and asked, "teacher, do you have one moment, please?"
"Sure, is there any problem I can help you with?"
He scratched his head and looked away.
"Y-yes, I know that you are going to travel to Russia for three years and..., to be honest, I am in love with you."
What? how did he discovered that? I only told my family and my boss of that trip.
"Would you like to go out on a date with me?" he asked.
I tried to hide my surprise and act like if nothing was happening but it wasn't possible. He was waiting for my answer. However, I didn't want to loose my job. This has already happened to my coworker and I didn't want to be the next.
I searched for the best way to say "no" in a way that don't hurt his feelings.
"I am sorry, but..."
After I said that, he started crying.
I can't help but hug him and whisper into his ear "Ray, I am really sorry, but I am your teacher and going out with you is... not a right thing." I sighed and then I said "I will keep hugging you until you stop crying."

Day 50: Music
I love listening to music, I even would like to write my own songs and share them with the world someday. However, for that I need to learn to play an instrument first. Some of my options are ukelele, piano, acoustic guitar and bass. It's not my plan to become famous and I just would like to create my own songs with profound messages and relaxing melodies. The simple idea of thinking about me writing songs in a notebook, working several days trying to polish them and having a small group of people who listen to my songs charms me. I think that my soul needs to create art to be happy and calm.
Thanks for reading!!

230226-A chilly Sunday
Today I met a long-time no-see friend. He is really good at joking and I laughed. Though I have met a bad thing yesterday, I don't talk about it. I think maybe yesterday I need to do more preparation to meet my friend BB. Maybe I just lost my boundary and stick to him too much...I need to stop recalling those memories.
Back to today's experience. We have a great lunch in an Italy restaurant. He do research about it and selected fantastic dishes. The chef did a great skill with the pork and I really like it (though it is a bit too salty, I really dream to have a bowl of Chinese rice to eat the cuisine). Pasta with lamb soup is great too.
Yesterday I cried and I chose to stew my favorite favor udon for myself. Food could really comfort a heartbroken person, right?
Then we decide to go to NY. We wait for the bus and talked about what happened to us this winter holiday. He came back to China and was confused about what happened to NY which made me feel afraid to take the subway. We thought it is a complex question and safety is the priority. But the moment we arrived in NY, we lost every word about worries in this hustle and bustle city.
In our schedule, we may walk along with High Line Park, but we spent too much time at a Japanese grocery store(MUJI), and we missed the entry time of the museum. and we continue talking about food on the bus trip, Chinatown becomes the destination. It is my first time arriving in Chinatown. It looks like a vivid county in China. I bought some Chinese dim sum here. The light lights and stores closed, and when we continue walking into the heart of the town, I felt terrible cause there are fewer lights there and people began to look at us up and down with no smiles.
Worse, before we arrived the Chinatown, I shared a book I have read with him, the book's name is Sneakhead——a story about the dark history of Chinatown underworld. So it makes us more nervous. Then we decide to back to WTC and finish today's experience.
However, it is a wonderful trip and I feel really relaxed after spending time with him. Though I would say that the vibe is more like typical Chinese heterosexual dating haha. Today he pays the bills by himself, and next Thursday we would go to Flushing to enjoy Chinese food, I decide to pay for that meal too. Friendship is valuable, I would not wanna break it again.

Une chaussure tombe du ciel. Justifiez pourquoi.
Je prends une promenade dans la rue et tout à coup, une chaussure tombe du ciel ! Je ne pourrais pas le croire. J’ai pensé « c’est vraiment bizarre ! » Alors, j’ai remarqué que quelqu’un était dans un deltaplane. Ils ont perdu leur chaussure. Bien, c'est logique. Mais, la chaussure aurait pu frapper quelqu’un. Heureusement, ce n’était pas le cas. Hmm, Je ne sais pas s'il trouvera sa chaussure. Pour moi, je n’ai jamais utilisé un deltaplane. Je n’aime pas être dans le ciel, seulement dans un avion, je suis à l’aise. En tout cas, c’était une journée bizarre.

Hier, c'était le 40e anniversaire de mon amie. Je l'ai rencontrée à l'université, il y a déjà plus de dix ans.
Elle n'a pas voulu avoir une grande fête. Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais peut-être parce qu'elle est un peu introvertie.
Bien qu'elle ne veuille pas faire trop, on a eu une bonne idée. On a embauché un cuisinier privé pour préparer le dîner, et de nettoyer ensuite. La dîner était très délicieuse. C'etait une très bonne idée, et elle l'aimait beaucoup.

Tesla in Silicon Valley
My niece told me that more and more people working in silicon valley are driving Tesla including her. They even switch to auto mode in the downtown area.
I asked her: "I understand it's quite safe to auto-drive on a highway, but how dare you do that in the urban areas?"
"Because they believe it, Tesla now even owns the capability to control the car from the humans in some emergency situations." She answered me.
I told her that Tesla is forbidden to park in some parking areas because they said it's not safe and has the potential threat to other cars and state security. furthermore, some people who are working for the government are not allowed to buy Teslas.
"Oh, it's ridiculous. It is said that Tesla made in China has better quality than that in the USA even the same model, because there are more parts in a car which made in China than those in the USA. " She said.

Sprechen wir über Schuluniform
Ich möchte meine Gedanken über die Schuluniformen mit Ihnen teilen.
In meinem Heimatland haben nur wenige Schulen Uniformen.
In der Regel tragen die Schüler in Religiöseschulen Schuluniformen und vielleicht auch Privatschulen.
In den meisten Schulen sind Uniformen nur im Sportunterricht. Es ist ein Baumwohl-T-Shirt mit dem Logo und der Schulfarbe der Schule und mit Shorts. In der Sportschule sind Freizeitanzug mit dem Logo der Schule auch. Sportuniform ist in den Sportschulen obligatorisch, in anderen Schulen sind sie optional.
Ich denke, dass klassische Schuluniformen sind Altmodisch. Der Stoff der Uniformen ist oft nicht Baumwolle, sondern Kunstfaser. Ich denke, die Uniform ist nicht persönlich maßgeschneidert, deswegen ist es nicht vorteilhaft in allen Körperbau. Alle Schüler tragen dasselbe, so die Schüler komplettieren ihre Uniform mit verschiedenen Accessoires. Zum Beispiel: mit dem Gürtel, mit dem Schal oder Tuch, mit der Kette.
Ich bin der Meinung, dass die Uniform Tragen zwischen den verschiedenen Schulen Streit verstärken können.
Ein weiterer Aspekt gegen die Schuluniform ist die Kostenfrage. Die Schuluniformen sind sehr teuer. Das ist eine Schwierigkeit für Familien mit mehreren Kindern. Außerdem neben die Uniformen müssen die Eltern noch andere Kleidung kaufen. Die Kinder wollen in ihrer Freizeit gerne Markenkleidung haben. Diese zweierlei zusammen kostet für die Eltern sehr viel.
Neben der Schuluniformen spricht, dass den Schülern nicht müssen denken, was sie im Früh anziehen sollen. Die Schuluniform darf Zusammengehörigkeit symbolisieren.
Zusammenfassen bin ich der Meinung, dass die Schuluniform mehrere Nachteile als Vorteile hat.

Pourquoi j'étudie le français
J'ai étudié français pendant 4 ans à l'école primaire et pendant 2 ans à l'école secondaire. J'ai arrêté d'étudier après j'ai été diplômé pendant quelques années. Récemment, j'ai décidé de recommencer mes études parce que je voyage souvent á Montréal, et je veux discuter avec mes amis qu'habite là, ainsi qu'apprendre à propos de l'histoire et la politique du Québec.
Il y a beaucoup des choses qu'est dur pour moi, qui est un anglophone, parce que certains idées grammaticales qu'existe en français n'existe pas en anglais. Par exemple, en français, tous les noms ont un genre alors qu'en anglais ils n'en ont pas. Et en plus, certains temps sont facile de confondre, comme l'imparfait et le plus-que-parfait.
Un chose que j'ai trouvé m'aider apprendre est jouer aux jeux vidéo en français. Récemment, j'ai passé la langue dans ma console Nintendo en français. Alors, j'ai commencé à jouer « Animal Crossing » en français. Bien entendu, c'est beaucoup plus difficile comme ça. Cependant, je m'amuser toujours, et après, je me sens accompli.

Writing about my student project :)
This semester we got the task to create a fictional logo for any company we want. So I decided to design a logo for my favorite tea store „Keiko“.
Keiko is a japanese tea store and well-known for there great green tea, especially for matcha. So I sat on my desk and sketched for hours and hours to get a good result. In the end, I had a design I was happy with.
I used a green pastel tone and a friendly looking font to get a friendly overall look. I also thought about some rules, so I established the following rules:
- The logo may only be use in pastel green and black.
- The minimum safe area around the Logo on all sides is 1X.
- „X“ describes the proportional heigh of the font (or lettering) „Keiko“.
I wrote all my notes in my notebook and went to bed. That was my day. :)

Son cœur mis à nu (VIII)
«Il n'existe que trois êtres respectables: le prêtre, le guerrier, le poète. Savoir, tuer et créer. Les autres hommes sont taillables et corvéables, faits pour l'écurie, c'est-à-dire pour exercer ce qu'on appelle des professions».
«Il n'y a pas de grand parmi les hommes que le poète, le prêtre et le soldat. L'homme qui chante, l'homme qui sacrifie et se sacrifie. Le reste est fait pour le fouet.».
Dans le dernier texte nous avons remarqué que même si Baudelaire voudrait s'éloigner du monde physique en divisant entièrement ceci et celui des idées, il lui-même doit avouer que cette division est tout à fait impossible (cet aveu ne l'empêche pas du tout de tenter de s'élever de toute façon). Et ce texte-ci reprend cette idée: la figure du guerrier est approchée à celle du prêtre et du poète. Évidemment le guerrier est considéré au-dessous de les autres deux dans une hiérarchie ou le poète et ses créations sont à la cime.
Nous pourrions en outre supposer que le but du guerrier concerne le poète-même: le soldat doit s'occuper des actions dont ni le poète ni le prêtre ni la foule peut s'occuper. Clairement la foule est peinte comme un grand troupeau, dépourvu même de la plus infime essence humaine («le reste est fait pour le fouet»). Enfin, il est important de remarquer que par «guerrier» ou «soldat» Baudelaire entend, à part le pouvoir militaire, même celui politique; donc nous pouvons dire que Baudelaire pense que le progrès moral, but du poète, doit être supporté par la politique et en général par tous les hommes qui ne créent pas et sont dès alors faits pour savoir, tuer ou pour les professions.

Studying (1)
Hello everyone. Today I wanna talk about the studying sessions I'm having lately.
My dear cousin and I are studying the same thing (unfortunately I can't say what it is, due to my cousin's privacy, since she's very secretive to herself, and I'm respecting that).
For the past 6 years, I had been lonely throught high school and college. I was the only one attending classes, because I went to long distance schools, and most students wouldn't attend them. I didn't make any friends there, since most of them drop out because they don't understand the subjects because they think they can study by themselves. The few people who went to class ended up leaving for personal reasons or to focus in something else.
I'm that kind of student that doesn't procrastinate and divide the homework and study sessions throughout the semester, because I understood that what I was studying was above average and to actually acquire that knowledge you had to work with it for a very long time (I'm such a nerd fr).
Scoring a 10 was my only motivation to work almost everyday, but to be honest, it was boring and I burnt out faster than I expected.
