L’autre jour, j’ai appris l’origine et l’histoire des tamales. Quand j’ai visité le Mexique, j’en ai beaucoup mangé. Il me semble d’être son plat national. À chaque coin d’une rue, il y avait des stands de tamales. Les femmes les préparaient sur place et les Mexicaines en mangeaient au petit-déjeuner, au déjeuner, au dîner ou même comme une collation.
Alors, qu’est-ce que c’est un tamale. Je le décrirais comme une crêpe faite de farine de maïs, de l’eau et un peu de sel. Les tamales sont remplis d’une farce : la farce normalement assez épicée, à la base peut être du poulet, du bœuf, du porc ou même végétarienne. On peut être vraiment créatif. Puis le tamale est enveloppé dans une feuille de maïs et cuit sur le feu. En pensant, cela me met l’eau à la bouche !
Quant à l’origine des tamales, j’étais stupéfaite d’apprendre que ce plat remonte au 8000 av J.-C. : à la civilisation des Aztèque. À l’époque, les femmes les avaient préparés chez eux et les hommes guerriers et agriculteurs les avaient apportés au travail, comme nous apportons les sandwichs maintenant. C’est très drôle d’imaginer un guerrier portant un sac en papier brun contenant son sandwich : un tamale.

El Cairo es la capital de Egipto y, con una población de más de 22 millones de habitantes, es una de las ciudades más grandes de África y el Medio Oriente. También, es la decimonónica más grande ciudad del mundo, y una de las ciudades más densamente pobladas del mundo. El Cairo es la sede principal de la Liga Árabe, la organización regional de más de 22 estados miembros.
Ubicado en las orillas del río Nilo, El Cairo es famoso por su propia historia, preservada en la fabulosa ciudad medieval islámica y los sitios cópticos de El Cairo Antiguo. El Cairo histórico es un sitio de la lista del Patrimonio Mundial de UNESCO. Si pasa por El Cairo, tenga que entrar en el museo Egipto con sus innumerables artefactos del Antiguo Egipto. No pueda ir a El Cairo sin visitar las Pirámides de Guiza, y la cercana necrópolis de Saqqara, donde se puede ver la primera pirámide construida por el arquitecto Imhotep para el faraón Djoser.
Aunque aún está muy conectado con su pasado, El Cairo también es una vibrante ciudad moderna. El barrio Midan Tahrir en el centro de la ciudad, construido en el siglo XIX, tiene el apodo "París en el Nilo". Otros encantadores suburbios modernos son Ma'adi, Heliopolis y Zamalek, el último de que es un área de la Isla de Gezira, al centro del Nilo. Es mejor visitar El Cairo en otoño o primavera, cuando no hace tanto calor. Si quiere escapar de las manadas de la ciudad, puede navegar en felucca o pasear por el Parque Al-Azhar.
Desde la revolución en 2011, las tasas de turistas en El Cairo han bajado. Aunque sigue recuperando, aún tiene la oportunidad para ver sitios como las pirámides sin multitudes enormes.

Yo ví una película recientamente. Había una escena en lo que una madre mató sus hijos. Los hijos se convirtieron a demonios (deadites). Después, los niños y la mama fusieron los cuerpos y todos convirtieron a un monstruo demonico. La hermana de la madre usó una motosíerra a matar los demonios. Fue muy, muy divertido.

İngilizcesi en aşağıda
Eğer haber programı izleyerek ya da gazete okuyarak dünyanın haberleri hakkında öğrenirsen, gelecekteki haberlerinden endişelenmeni ve uyuya kalamamanı normaldir. Artan vahşet ve nüfus oranları nedeniyle insan gitgide birbirlerine ölüp gitgide bebek doğurur, dünyanın sınırlı kaynaklarına rağmen. En kötüsü, tüm varlıklık dünyanın en zengin ülkelerinin en zengin insanlarına ait. Düşük gelirli ülkelerin insanları yoksulluk çekip aynı zamanda Batı ülkeleri zenginleşir. Hüzünlü bir şey değil mi?
Yani istatistikler bizim olumsuz dünya görüşümüzü kesinleştirir mi bizimle çelişir mi?
Küresel nüfusa inceleyelim. Günümüzde, tıpkı Birleşmiş Milletler'in 1958'de öngördüğü gibi, yaklaşık 7 milyarda. 2100 yılın itibaren aynı üstalar 11 milyar olduğu tahmin ediyor. Ama büyük ihtimalle en yüksek nüfusun 11 milyar olacağını düşündüğünü biliyor muydun? Bugünkü düşen doğum oranları sayesinde bu yüzyılın ikinci yarısında artış nüfusun oranı yavaşlatacak.
Düşen mü doğum oranları? İyi anlamıştın.
Geçen iki yüzyılında teknolojik ve sağlık gelişmeler sayesinde daha az çocuk ölmüş yani nüfus hemen artırmış. Onu sırasıyla o aileler daha çok yetişkin yaşam ulaşan çocukları doğurmuş ve daha sonrası kendi çocukları doğurmuş. Ancak 60'larda doğum kontrolünün kullanıma sunulmasından bu yana, küresel ortalama doğum oranı kadın başına 6'dan 2'ye düştü.

Che bella serata! Piove e sto guardando la pioggia dalla finestra. Mi è sempre piaciuta la pioggia, addirittura quando ero bambina - tutti i miei compagni di scuola erano tristi perché pioveva quando volevano stare fuori, ma io ho sempre preferito stare a casa il più possibile. Ovviamente andavo ai bar o al cinema con gli amici, ma la mia casa era il mio tempio.
Ieri siamo andati da KFC perché avevamo voglia di hamburger, ma oggi abbiamo mangiato la verdura per un pranzo sano. Anche quando facciamo le patatine fritte nell'Airfryer sono più sane e saporite rispetto a quelle fatte con molto olio nella padella.
La prossima settimana guarderò un altro episodio della serie TV italiana di cui dicevo ieri. Non riesco a concentrarmi quando lavoro, quindi devo trovare una giornata in cui lavoro poco o sono libera.
Oggi abbiamo fatto una passeggiata mentre giocavamo a Pokemon Go. C'era un evento durante la mattina, posso dire che sono contenta di com'è andato.
La giornata è passata velocemente. Dopo aver finito il lavoro, vado a dormire. Da oggi farò la mia passeggiata quotidiana di mattina ( almeno quando lavoro di sera ) e poi potrò studiare. È meglio studiare dopo averla fatta, in questa maniera non sarò di fretta.
A domani!

Tengo una alergia al metal. Esta alergia no ha cambiado mi vida mucho porque solo evito llevar joyas hecho de metal por mucho tiempo. La alergia que ha cambiado mi vida no es mía sino de mi hermana mayor y ella ahora no la tiene. Sin embargo, su alergia intensa a la leche en su niñez ha cambiado mi vida en tan muchas maneras. Cuando ella comía un poco de cualquier alimento hecho con leche en cualquiera forma, tendría anafilaxia, a causa de muerte sin atención médica inmediato. Mientras ella perdió esta alergia a aproximadamente trece años, los efectos ha cambiado mi vida para siempre y pienso que mi vida sea mejor con esta experiencia. Mi empatía a los con alergias, mi entendido de alergias alimentarias, y mi habilidad a leer ingredientes en la comida y entenderlos son debido a la alergia de mi hermana.

Topic:
Discipline is an ever-increasing problem in modern schools. Some people think that discipline should be the responsibility of teachers, while others think that this is the role of parents.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
My answer:
Maintaining proper behavior and order in educational settings has become increasingly challenging. There are differing views on whether the duty of ensuring children’s adherence to behavioral expectations and rules lies with parents or teachers. From my perspective, it should be a joint effort.
Parents are accountable for fostering good manners and obedience. Babies are not inherently aware of right and wrong. They act solely based on immediate desires and needs and their understanding of the world is shaped primarily by parents. Therefore, parents are expected to raise them to become well-mannered and law-abiding individuals, enabling their integration into society and ensuring the well-being of others. They lay the foundation for those traits from their children’s formative years. This includes teaching basic table etiquette, polite language, and respectful greetings, and addressing misbehavior by removing toys or snacks. They continue to reinforce and nurture such traits as the children enter school by establishing learning times and reprimanding them for incomplete homework or improper behavior at school.
However, teachers also have a role to play. Their main duty is to impart knowledge, so they have to create a structured and orderly classroom conducive to learning. To achieve that, they need to establish classroom rules, such as maintaining silence during lectures and raising hands to speak. They also use rewards and recognition like verbal praises and certificates to reinforce positive behavior while imposing repercussions, including time-outs and reflective writing assignments, to address wrongdoings. Those approaches enable students to understand what is considered acceptable behavior and the consequences of their actions, fostering self-discipline.
In conclusion, parents must nurture their children into civilized citizens to facilitate their integration into society, contributing to a harmonious community, and so have teachers to create a conducive learning environment.

Later on, I met a person who I want to be in the future--- Susie. You know, as we grow older, many people might not be interested in learning new things, but she is quite different, she was admitted to University of International Business and Economics, became a postgraduate student in her 40s. She tries to learn English, yoga and psychological lessons after work. She wants to be a yoga coach and psychological counselor after retirement.
They are passionate about different things, they are trying to learn new things after work. And when you live better, you will be happier and you will work better. Through talking to them, I learned different life attitudes and saw more possibilities in my life. A few participants even sent me some private messages to show their appreciation. I feel it’s rewarding and valuable. We are helping each other out for improving self-confidence and communication skills. As a matter of fact, I become more and more confident when I’m working. I realize that I’m more than a staff, after work, I could be an interesting person and helping people in my own way.
Thank you for listening. Try to find your passion and enjoy your life!

Wendy, a music therapist who tries to use music to heal children with autism.
Nancy, a documentary director, she shared her working experience from crew director to freelancer. She wants to be a filmmaker in the future.
Julie, a staff from a state-owned enterprise, decided to quit her job after working for over 20 years, move to New Zealand and start her new life for her children’s education. Now she starts to learn English in her 40s.
I didn’t expect that many teachers would come to my chatroom, from kindergarten to university. One of them is called” Pipi”, She is a primary school teacher in a small village, she taught Chinese and Math at the same time, and recently, she started to teach English. But she was worried about her pronunciation and grammar. She wanted her students to be well-prepared before they go to high school. Pipi asked me some suggestions for learning English. Luckily, we got enough participants and they shared ways to improve their English. I believe her students are very lucky to have a teacher like her.
Well, sometimes my chatroom could be a tree hole as well, a place for strangers to share secrets and troubles. People are likely to share their troubles with me instead of talking to their friends or family. We show care and understanding toward each other. They always feel much better after speaking out.

Good morning everyone!
Thank you for the opportunity and support from my company XX and my supervisor Miranda. I’m so excited to be here today, my name is Annie and my topic is “live for more than work, find your passion in life”. Before we get started, I want to ask you a question, what’s your passion? Try to think about it.
I was born and raised in a small village in Sichuan. I always love exploring the world, talking to different people and speaking English since I was a kid. I went to Melbourne alone when I’m 21, and that’s my first overseas trip. I was going to plan more trips like that but due to pandemic, I cannot go anywhere. I found another way to speak to people from different places, which is on Red, 小红书. I have became a live streamer since then and try to hold some all-English livestream in my spare time. I named it “Online English Chatroom”.
Our passion for English brought us together. I talked to people from all walks of life, all over the world, a music therapist from Shanghai, an acupuncturist from Australia, a paragliding coach, a documentary director, a surgeon and so on. A few participants are impressive from memory, Now I want to share them with you all.

In this picture there is a group of people walking in the forest. They are carrying bags with water and different equipment, so they are probably going camping. They are following a path that is next to the train rails. There’s a yellow train coming from the direction the group is heading to.
