About earlier last month, the Covid situation in China started to get worse, especially in Changchun, Tianjin and Shanghai.
Later, Shanghai became the worst. I think that was because Shanghai has a large population.
At that time, we felt very lucky because we didn't have a single infected case.
At the end of last month, the first confirmed infection was reported in our city. The case is in Santa town, Yingzhou District.
Then Yingshang County reported that an infected case was found, and then a confirmed case was also found in Taihe county. These two counties both belong to Fuyang.
But these past two days, the infected cases have grown rapidly.
As of today, Yingshang County has 18 cases, Yingzhou District has 3 cases and Taihe county has 1 case. Among them, the majority of cases in Yingshang County are in Xieqiao coal mine. Fortunately, the majority of cases are asymptomatic cases.
It's worth mentioning that most of them returned from Shanghai, which shows how serious the epidemic situation in Shanghai is.
In addition, three residential communities in Yingzhou have been locked down. As for the other two counties, I don't know because I don't live there.

(What could I do to make it sound more natural?)
To whom it may concern,
My name is Isaac and I am 30 years old, I recently came to this town to do a master's degree. I have been mixing work in catering and stydies since I was 18 years old, which was really easy to me due to the fact all my closest relatives have always working in the familiar business. For that reason, though I have not often had a job in a bar, it is a work environment where I am familiar with all kinds of issues that involve, from cooking to serving customers as a waiter, though I have been working mainly on the last one.
As regards the work schedule, it is perfect for me, because I am actually really busy with my Master Thesis and I need some extra cash for daily life expenses. It does not matter how overcrowded the bar is at these hours because I am used to serve people at weddings, communions and baptism. Besides, I used to have part-time jobs as a bartender while I was stuying my degree, so I really know how to deal with stress and overexcited customers late at night.
As for me, I consider myself a rigorous, patient and tidy person, which are general skills that come from my experience in this sort of business. Like everyone I have weakness, such as being very talkative, but these do not interfere in my professional life; in fact that could be an advantage in a bar, whenever it is understood where you are.
All in all, it will be difficult to find such an experienced and working person for this job. By the way, I attached my curriculum vitae for further details.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon with a positive reply.

Perché Portorico si diventò nel paradiso di moda tra i cripto-milionari e investitori tecnologici?
Negli ultimi anni un massiccio gruppo di cripto-milionari e altri investitori arrivano in Portorico. Non cercano soltanto il calore e la tranquillità dei Caraibi, anche le sue famose esenzioni fiscali.
In tutto l’arcipelago, acquistano nuovi residence, avviano aziende e si trasferiscono con le loro famiglie dagli Stati Uniti e altri paesi.
Allo stesso tempo, molti portoricani denunciano che gli investitori sono i responsabili della salita nel prezzo degli immobili in alcune città e paesi, questo ha portato che negli ultimi mesi si sono convocate manifestazioni contro lo spostamento della popolazione locale.

Le vent
Dans la fiction fantasy(fantastique) on entend beaucoup de fois des forces éléments. Typiquement ils s'agissent de l'air, du feu, de l'eau et du vent(de l'air). Je l'impression que la majorité des gens pensent que l'air est l'élément plus faible. Donc j'ai decidé à defendre cet élément. Il y a beaucoup de choses que on peut faire si on avait la possibilité de contrôler le vent. Au premier c'est une source d'énergie infinite. Avec un éolienne et en peu de vent ça marche. En plus en combat c'est une grande avantage. Si vous voulez savoir plus regarde la série
"Avatar le dernier maitre de l'air".

Traduction d'un livre
Great courtiers throughout history have mastered the science of manipulating people. They make the king feel more kingly; they make everyone else fear their power. They are magicians of appearance, knowing that
most things at court are judged by how they seem. Great courtiers are gracious and polite; their aggression is veiled and indirect. Masters of the
word, they never say more than necessary, getting the most out of a compliment or hidden insult. They are magnets of pleasure—people want to be
around them because they know how to please, yet they neither fawn nor
humiliate themselves. Great courtiers become the king’s favorites, enjoying
the benefits of that position. They often end up more powerful than the
ruler, for they are wizards in the accumulation of influence.
--
Traduction : Tout au long de l'histoire, les grands courtisans ont maîtrisé la science de manipulation des gens. Ils faisent le roi semble plus royal, ils faisent les autres avoir peur de leurs pouvoirs. Ils sont les magiciens de l'appearance, vu que au tribunal, tous sont jugé par leurs appearances. Les grands courtsians sont gracieux et poli, leurs agressions sont voilés et indirectes. Maîtres du mot, ils ne disent jamais plus que nécessaire, avoir le meilleur d'un compliment ou injure caché. Ils sont les aimants de plaisir--les gens voulais d'être avec eux car ils savent comment de les plaisir mais ils ne font l'éloge* ni se humilier. Les grands courtisans deviennent les favouris du roi, profitant les bénéfices de la position. Ils finissent souvent plus puissant que leur souverain, vu qu'ils sont les magiciens de l'accumulation d'influence.

¿Cómo usas las correcciones para estudiar?
Querido diario.
Encontré este sito de web seis meses antes y pienso que es una comunidad fantástica para aprender español. Una función muy útil es la habilidad para dar correcciones para cada post. Cuando estudio, uso las correcciones para repasa gramática y algunas frases o para aprender palabras nuevas con tarjetas. Es difícil para escribir en un idioma nueva y creo que es muy importante que escriba cada día para mejorar y sentía más confianza escribiendo. Es por eso razón que voy a escribir un montón este año. Déjame una nota abajo cómo usas las correcciones también.

どうして外国語を勉強していますか？
この間、私は先生からいい質問をされました。先生は「どうして日本語を勉強し始めましたか」と聞きました。簡単な質問だったにしても、実は私の日本語の勉強の元々の理由はなんとなく忘れていました。それは本当におかしいですよね？
もちろん、日本の文化にずっと興味があっても、元々の理由じゃないと思います。日本のゲームをしたり、アニメを見たり、漫画を読んだり、日本の音楽を聞いたりするのも好きです。その上、私にとって日本の歴史は魅力的です。あたりまえ、和食もめちゃおいしいと思います。しかし、その中でどっちが元々の理由かわかりません。
私は子供の時以来、言語が面白いと思っていました。そういえば、実はこの興味が元々の理由だと思います。確かに既述の理由は勉強し始めたあとで来たと思います。始めた時、日本語は最も難しそうだし、美しそうだし、英語と比べて最も違うし、なので選びました。始めて以来、学べば学ぶほど、日本語は人生にとって大切なことだという理由を見つけます。私は日本語からたくさん素晴らしい経験をしたので、もっと上手になるのを楽しみにしています。

My current office is in an office building on the fifteenth floor in the east part of the building.
It covers an area of about 230 square meters with six single rooms, one living room and a meeting room.
One of the single rooms in the northwest corner is a little bigger than the other five, which is shared by three people while the other five rooms are both shared by two people in each room.
Because the five rooms are all in the east part of the building, they are very bright, so every morning when we enter the offices we always have a mood like the sunshine.
My office is at the southeast end of our office. Compared with the other four offices in the north, I have an extra window in the south wall, so it is brighter than others.
I share this room with my leader because I am the vice leader.
Compared with my former department, the only thing that doesn't satisfy me well is that l can't occupy one single room.
I was the leader of my former department which covers an area of 13340 square meters. We had many offices there, so I could occupy one single room.
But in 2020, my former department was merged into my current department.
Occupying a single room is very beneficial for me because I am learning English and I can learn at anytime, but now I can’t.

Ce que je commanderais dans un restaurant inconnu.
Je suis une personne d'habitude donc si j'allais au restaurant inconnu, je commanderais quelque chose familier ou quelque chose assez basique comme les pâtes ou la pizza. Aussi, j'ai beaucoup d'allergies alors je ne peux pas être trop d'adventureuse. Mais définitivement je commanderais jus de pomme - j'ai un peu d'une obsession avec elle.

Langcorrectors, I'm back
Today I have been organizing my schedule for April. A thing I really want to do again is writing English entries in this page. It has been a long time since I wrote something here. But it is better late than never.
Improving my writing through extensive practice is my objective right now, along with writing my thesis. I am seriously thinking about writing it in English, that is something I would like better than presenting it in my native language. It can be a difficult task, but the findings I managed to obtain are worth of being read by others in a more "international" language.

Брюс Уиллис
Брюс Уиллис объявил, что он закончил свою карьеру из-за заболевании, которого влияет функций мозга; именно, навыки написать и запомнить информацию. Поэтому в данный момент он не может воспринять слов, говорящих кто-нибудь, хотя он будет получать лечение.
Это докажет, что даже богатые люди уязвимы к болезням. Они не в силах, чтобы остановить распространение вирусов. У них нет магического шлема, чтобы защитить их из неудач.
Они- тоже человеческие.

Book - A Shot in the Dark - 61
Summary no. 61
After interviewing the bank manager, Constable Twitten asked for a place where he could ponder over the investigation without being interrupted. The manager offerred his own office and Twitten accepted. Twitten was resolved to get to the bottom of Crystal’s murder (case) for good, so nothing must get in his way now. Being always so thorough, Twitten assessed every detail, evidence and clue, trying to make sense of them. After three, intense hours, Twitten had finally worked out who the culprit was. Craving to make his astounding report to his senior officers, Twitten stood up and went over to the door. He tried the handle, but the door wouldn’t open. There was also a striking silence outside in the hall, yet Twitten only now noticed it. Just as he tried again, someone opened the door on the other side. Mrs Groynes, the police station cleaner, was standing in the doorway with a gun in her hand. Twitten was startled by her sudden appearance, but his fright soon subsided. After all, he had just worked out who Mrs Groynes really was, so he wasn’t bewildered at seeing her pointing a gun at him.

Eating a cup noodle instead of a waffle
I wanted to eat a waffle. I visited the waffle store that I had been paying attention. It was near library.
"Do you want waffles?" the owner said, when I entered.
'Of course, why do you think I'm here?' I thought.
"Yes" I said.
"We ran out of ingredients." he said lethargically.
"Oh... Okay..." I came out the store.
I wandered around. I had no idea what I wanted to eat then. The air was chill. The wind was blowing. I ended up entering the convenience store and found a cup noddle I had enjoyed.
"Can I eat the cup noddle inside?" I asked.
"No, sorry. I am worrying about the Covid." She said.
"Okay." I said, poured the steaming water into the cup noodle and waited 3 minutes and got out. There was two dirty outdoor tables so I started to eat standing. You know what? If it's windy when you eat a cup noodle outside, it tastes great. So I really enjoyed it. It warmed not only my stomach but also deep in my heart. Oh, I think I exaggerated too much. Actually it was not bad for a temporary.

31 mars 2022 - Drôle de couple (The Odd Couple)
Une maison ou un bureau en désordre vous rend-il nerveux
et de mauvais poil ou le ménage est-il une activité que vous
réservez pour la veille de l’arrivée de vos invités?
Je ne fais pas du ménage chaque jour mais environ une ou deux fois par semaine, ou bien plus. Ça dépend de mon temps disponible, ma statue mentale après le cours et bien sur le degré de désordre de ma chambre. Je pense que tenir une maison propre n’est pas un tache pour plaire les autres, mais aussi plutôt soi-même. Il y a aussi de recherches qui ont montré qu’un espace propre peut augmenter la productivité en ayant un meilleur esprit.

My study life
I took an optional course named "Biological basis of sexuality". Tonight's class was on the different sensation between male and female when they are having sex.
Professor of this course is an extremely humour and lovely old guy. He has been encouraging us to participate into his class actively since the first lesson. In China, we students often keep silent while teachers are blattering on the platform, and he always complains about that. Everytime we came back down into silence, he would stopped his lecture and grumbled "I'm the only one talking again.". It's an effective way to gain our hot responds because we were always wanting him to continue his lecture.
The content of this lecture was very straightforward, which contains many aspects of sexuality, such as 'How many times per week is good for health' and 'Different types of sexual position'.
This course really change my thought on sex. People always think this cannot be put on the table and refuse to teach children about sex. But it's just the very lack of knowledge on sex that put many children at risk.

Spring Fever
Recently, I have been really tired during the day.
I assume that it is caused by spring fever.
In order to get rid of spring fever, I used to swim or ride my bicycle before COVID-19.
Now, drinking tea is only way to prevent tired.
My friend suggested me to eat vitamin D supplements, because we weren't under the sun daytime.
He said the vitamin is good for vitality.
I will try to eat it tomorrow.

Życie idzie dalej, a ja stoję
Czuję, że wszystko, co robię nie ma żadnej wartości, bo w każdym razie nie ma miejsca dla mnie ani w tym społeczeństwie, ani ogólnie na świecie. Bardzo mi się podobałoby, gdybym żył na bezludnej wyspie, żyjąc samodzielnie, ale to dla mnie niemożliwe.
Czuję po prostu, jak ziarno piasku w oceanu: moje istnienie nie ma żadnej wartości i miejsce, w którym się znajduję mi nie pasuje.
Próbuję snuć plany na przyszłość, ale wszystko się zmienia zbyt szybko i ja zawsze zostaję w tyle. Wszyscy inni umieją znaleźć troszkę radości w ich życiach, a ja czuję, jakbym nadal był dzieckiem, które, mimo lat, nigdy nie zdało sobie sprawy, że świat dookoła już nie jest ten sam.
Czuję się, jak dziecko, które zgubiło się w supermarkecie i szuka matki, ale jej nie ma. A gdy ciągle szukam matki na próżno, wszyscy inni już skończyli swoje zakupy, wyszli z supermarketa i nawet nie widzieli, że potrzebuję pomocy.

Mutton Soup
The most delicious food from my childhood that I still remember today was mutton soup.
Back in that time, living conditions in the countryside were really terrible. I didn’t even have enough food to eat.
My father worked in the local government so he could get a salary every month. Although his salary was just a little (about six to seven dollars a month), my family did have a little money.
Sometimes, my parents bought a little lamb so we could eat mutton soup.
Before my mom made the mutton soup, she washed the mutton first, then boiled it and placed it in a kitchen cabinet. The broth was preserved for later use.
When she made the mutton soup, she sliced a few pieces of the mutton, found some sweet potato vermicelli, Chinese cabbage, ginger, green onions, a part of the original soup, then put them in the water that was already in the pot and heated them.
The Chinese cabbage and sweet potato vermicelli were the main ingredients of the mutton soup. There wasn’t as much mutton—often times there was not any.
But we still called it mutton soup because the soup that boiled the mutton tasted so good, and we liked that flavor.
This way, we can eat mutton soup many times by buying mutton once.
