Why Do I Start Practicing Writing? The Second Part
On this entry, can I blame that is because of schools or the environment at where I stay? No, I neither blame schools nor the environments. The reason is the most of time, nativer speakers practically don't use that way we've been taught to speak. Also at the beginning of learning a language, the basis is improtant. And after the schools hand the basic to you, nobody can help you but yourself. Besides we need to interact with native speakers so that knowing how to phrase. Which can avoid us from something like "The grammar is correct, just we don't say like this ".
That's why I started writing entries on here.

汉语分班测试
我长大的时候，我的父母不同意在家里应该说哪一个语言，中文还是英文。因为我在美国长大了，我爸爸怕如果在家里专门用普通话沟通，我的英文就学不好，在班上会落后了。另一方面，我的妈妈硬说我一定要学习中文，因为我们确实是华人，然后如果能说多一个语言，以后会有更多的前途。最后，我跟我爸爸说英文，跟妈妈说中文。可是这样子也学不好中文。一直到我上高中的时候，我都不会认字。进入了高中后，我自己培养了对中文的兴趣，开始上我们学校开设的中文课。但是现在上大学了，所以如果我还想继续上中文课，我要考分班测试。可是还有一个问题。如果只考到课程顺序的第一门课，那我要等到明年才能上，因为这第一门课只有第一个学期开设。我已经错过了这学期的注册期。所以我现在一直在复习中文，希望我可以考到比较高的中文班上。这样，我就可以下个学期上中文课。

Yes, everything is fine for me now. Thank you for your concern.
The seasons in your place always seem to come early because the scenes in your photos only appear in the winter in my place. It's really annoying when the windshield is covered with a layer of frost because it is difficult to clean. I usually turn on warm air to melt it, but this process takes a long time. Your photos are very creative and bring nice enjoyment to people.
Before I read the poem you sent me, I knew of the poet Yeats, but I can't remember whether or not I had read his poems. The poet described a quiet and beautiful pastoral scene in the poem, which is something most people who have lived in cities for a long time crave for.
There were many famous pastoral poets in ancient China and Tao Yuanming is one of them. Let me share with you one of his famous poems.

La vita di un'addetta alle pulizie
Questa è la vita di un'addetta alle pulizie.
La donna si fa in quattro ogni giorno per cavarsela nella vita. Sebbene sia un'altra vittima dell'usura, non osa sporgere una denuncia, pur di non invischiarsi nella melma delle battaglie legali dove i suoi superiori trovano sempre una scappatoia per normalizzare lo sfruttamento dei lavoratori, e subisce invece uno smacco a causa della sua causa fallita. No, deve ingraziarsi i capi, e non scalfire la reputazione di chi le ha dato questo lavoro, sprezzato da molti ma essenziale per lei.
La sua testa è sul punto di svitarsi. Non può già sopportare questo carico, ma sin dalla morte di suo marito, si sforza ogni giorno come il sostengo della famiglia. L'immagine di una famiglia vezzosa non c'è più.
Scaccia questi pensieri dalla sua testa, riprende le tenaglie e rastrella (setacciare, perlustrare?) la zona per trovare degli avanzi di cibo da pappare e cartone da raccogliere. Trova un momento di tregua nell'attorcigliare i capelli, e poi continua avanzando a monte, letteralmente e figurativamente, mentre alcuni membri di una banda la guardano con uno sguardo bieco.
Ci vorrebbero degli anni per superare questo suo scoglio.
Le parole che ho imparato oggi:
attorcigliare
farsi in quattro
smacco
svitarsi
usura
melma
invischiarsi
tenaglia
rastrellare
scoglio

When I first heard people call dog owners 铲屎官, I was really confused because I was not able to figure out the connection between the two things. Later on, I found out that the pet owners were supposed to clean their pets’ poo when they walk their pets in public places. I really admire the person who invented the word 铲屎官, and I think he or she must be a genius.

“I think it’s partly because the common term for pet owners in China is shit shovelers”
When I first saw this sentence, I couldn’t get it. I thought there was something wrong because I misunderstood the word “shovelers”, which I thought meant people. After I got its meaning, I wanted to analyse its structure. Let me try. The “common term" is subject, “is” is link verb, “shit shovelers” is predicative, “for pet owners in China” is attributive. Then what is the “I think it’s partly because”? Adverbial?

Il più grande enigma della musica italiana....
Noi brasiliani (ma non solo!!!!) stiamo ancora cercando la risposta del mistero:
Perché Marco se n'è andato e non ritorna più?
Perché Laura non c'è?
Perché Marlena non torna a casa?
È davvero un problema che cambierà la vita di molte persone, non credete?
Io direi che è sicuramente cervellotico questo enigma!!!!
(quanta besteira, meu Deus!!!) ahahahaha

Insomnia
Ontem à noite eu não podia dormir. Dava voltas na cama, deitava com os olhos fechados mas não deu conta. Finalmente, tomei melatonina mas não ajudou. Às quatro da manhã eu adormeci.
Quando meu despertador tocou, apaguei-o e continuei dormindo. Eu perdi minha aula da manhã. Isso não é normal para mim.
Em fim. Aconteceu já. Amanhã eu tenho uma prova importante numa das minhas aulas. Porei o despertador no outro lado do quarto para ter que me levantar para desligá-lo.

Flowers
Six months ago, when we bought second-hand furniture, the seller gave us a pot of green plants for free.
We did not take care of it very carefully, just put it in the corner and water it occasionally.
When I was cleaning the home today, I suddenly found that it was about to bloom. I sat next to it and counted the buds, and there were more than 20 buds!
I seem to feel it saying to me " Hi, dear. I have been here with you all the time, you are not alone."
My tears fell, at the beginning of this winter, this pot of free plants are bringing beautiful color to my home.

2021 ACT / Love Young People
In theory I will be retire next year and this 2021 camp is my last one!
Thanks to the lack of new recruitment, I can easily continue this part time job.
Another special meaning about this camp was the district.
I was working in this district for 19 years, but 7 years ago I was forced to another district.
But in my last camp I choice return to this district even now I still feel surprise.
Yesterday, was only the second day of this camp.
The young people already “mouth-fight” and win the senior supervisor.
I love hang out with young people.

writing about my school
Bonjour, je m'appelle James
J'habite dans un grande ville, donc il y a plusiers l'ecoles primaires. Par conséquent je dois choisir ce qui est le meilleur.
Le weekend dernier je suis allé dans une l'école primaire pour voir si c'était bien. Cependant j'ai détesté cette parce que c'était une école pour seulement filles et je suis un garcon.

Fermer la porte le dimanche
Ce qui m'a surprise au début après commencer à vivre en France, c'est le fait que beaucoup de magasin ferment le dimanche. Même Picard, étant une grand surface, s'ouvre seulement dans la matinée et ferme après. Au Japon, roi d'heures supplémentaires, les supérettes sont ouvertes 24 heurs sur 24, and c'est même logique économiquement : si elles sont fermés le dimanche, cela signifie qu'elles perdent des oppotunités pour gagner du profit.
Dans des cours de commerce à l'université, on nous apprnd la notion d'opportunité perdue, c'est-à-dire le rendement perdu à cause des mauvaises décisions économiquement. Le dimanche, il doit y avoir nombreuses personnes qui ont besoin de quelque choses à manger, et perdre du profit possible en raison de la fermeture, cela coresspondait exactement la définition.
Mais au niveau de la santé mentale, je pense que les gens s'y trouvent bien, et en plus ce n'est qu'un petit inconvenient pour les consommateurs. On peut prévoir ce qui est nécessaire pour le lendemen pour faire des achats le samedi, pour protéger du temps en famille des vendeurs, ce qui nous permettra d'epargner notre temps en famille aussi.
On dit que la liberté est primordiale dans notre vie. Pourtant, il faut les régualtions pour nous arrêter de travailler sans cesse, car la santé mentale est plus difficile à visualiser que le chiffre d'affaires. On peut compter le nombre de patients, mais cela va sans dire qu'on doit détecter les patients potentiels avant qu'ils tombent définitivement malades, surtout de fait qu'il y a ceux qui ne peuvent pas se remettre pour toujours après avoir subi telles conditions.
La faiblesse du Japon, c'est qu'on ne peut pas créer des standards. D'autres pays en créent, et on en suit pour s'évaluer. À mon avis, cela ne suffit pas, car le Japon est un pays avec des particularités. C'est un de ceux où des personnes agées détiennent 28.7% de la population, entraînant des soucis sur l'avenir chez les jeunes. On a une marché de travail peu souple, qui a pour cause la grande croissance économique après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, ce qui nous force de travailler des heures supplémentaires, même parfois sans rémunérations. À titre personnel, il faut qu'on établie des régulations nous-même pour nous rendre heureux, comme dérigieant de pays avec le fort viellissement et la vertue de travail acharné.
Mais le problème, c'est que le Japon est un pays insulaire, donc il est difficile de glaner des informations sur d'autre pays sauf qu'on est active à en chercher. En plus, on a tendance à se préoccuper des opinions des autres plutôt que de nos propres sentimens. Si la plupart des salariés travaille sous les conditions pareiles, ils ne se posent même pas des questions sur les conditions dans lesquelles ils sont forcés de vivre.

My dream job
I realised I've never written anything in English, so I thought I could share a text I wrote for fun.
My dream job is to be a writer. I don't think there are jobs that are more important than others and I wouldn't mind doing something that doesn't align completely with the things I like (after all, I worked in several sectors in my life), but if I had to choose one out of the countless jobs I could do, I would definitely choose to be a writer.
I began writing in my teenage years. I've always had a creative mind and I tried multiple times to write something as a kid, but I was just a child and I had no writing skills whatsoever. Writing is therapeutic: it helps me clear my mind, organise my thoughts and rationalise my feelings. I'd love to be a writer, because writing helped me a lot during the darkest times of my life and I'm sure my stories and poems could help others as well.
As much as I'd like to be a writer, though, I know I will never be able to. In order to be a well-paid writer, skills aren't enough. Unfortunately mere luck is a very important factor in helping someone become a well-known writer. I say "well-known" not because I want fame (I'd rather see my art become more famous than my name), but because lesser known writers don't earn enough to be able to make writing their full-time job.
I will for sure try, but I'm quite confident writing won't ever be my job, even though it will always play a big role in my life.

Please help me to edit this and write better!
Well, this is the so-called journal, so should I be normal, and I go with “I got up at 8 and had my breakfast and so on” or I’d better plunge into it as if I’m a little salmon which swims against the current. That’s what I usually do, so if you read this, please let it be.
Today was one of those days that I felt heavy, sometimes I feel too dense in my brain that I can’t even bear carrying my head on my neck, I try to get up but my entire body inclines towards the bed and that can ruin my whole day. I figured out that the only way to get rid of this situation is to pop all the bubbles of “IFs” that had been created in my mind throughout the previous day. The mere tool which has the ability to burst these bubbles is the spiky needle of reality in the present moment. So, that’s what I did early in the morning today just like many other mornings, to get myself sort out. But the thing is, the cycle of reproducing these IFs is a never-ending one, I don’t even have to strive to swim upstream for laying the eggs of these IFs, I can just hatch them wherever I am, I just need a little pause to slot them into the free spaces in my mind.
Sometimes I think if the whole system was a factory, I would have been a cool CEO, but the problem is no salesman would work for me to sell the IFs, So maybe that’s the main reason that I decided to share them here with you.
