Pour garder le moral, faut-il éviter l’actualité ?
Je pense que « éviter » n’est pas le mot correct, mais peut-être « rationner ». À ce propos, j’ai récemment parlé avec deux français des rationnements de carburant en France. L’un a eu un avis assez catastrophiste sur les évènements et a dit que la télévision ne donne pas beaucoup de confiance aux français sur ce sujet. L’autre a eu l’avis plutôt que, bien sûr, les choses semblent difficiles en ce moment, mais on a vécu les pénuries déjà et que ça irait dans l’avenir. Je ne dis pas que j’ai la réponse finale sur ce sujet, en tant qu’étranger déconnecté des évènements, mais il me semble que, si on n’a pas le contrôle sur des choses de toute façon, consommer trop d’actualités perturbants, ça ne sert à rien sauf augmenter son anxiété.

Quattro miti sull'ecologia (1/2)
Oggi, vorrei scrivere un testo in due partie su quattro miti comuni sull'ecologia.
#1 — Le soluzioni sono sempre tecniche
Uno dei miti più comuni, è anche uno dei più pericolosi, è l'idea che la soluzione alla crisi ecologica globale si trova in soluzioni puramente tecniche. Si può sentire/leggere spesso questo mito. Alcuni anni fa, ci era stato detto che la "dematerialisazione" permessa dall'economia numerica sarebbe risultato in una diminuzione delle emissioni di CO2 e, più generalmente, del nostro impatto sulla planeta. Naturalmente, i dati transitono per veri data center, computer ed antenne, perciò, non abbiamo "dematerializzato" niente. Al contrario, consumiamo sempre più metalli, particolarmente metalli rari (ringraziamo l'indium per gli schermi tattili!).
Un'altro effetto perverso di questa idea è l'effetto rimbalzo. È vero che tutte le automobili costruite oggi emettono meno CO2 dei propri equivalenti costruiti venti anni fa, ma al stesso tempo, più vetture si sono vendute, perché sono meno care ed ironicamente, perché l'argomento delle "automobili ecocompatibili" è diventato un'argomento di venta! Alla fine, consumano meno individualmente, ma globalmente, hanno un impatto più grande.
#2 — Il nostro impatto è ciò che usiamo
Spesso, gli industriali presentano i vantaggi ecologici di un prodotto in funzione dei risparmi che il suo uso permette, ma è una visione imparziale delle coso. In realtà, si deve conoscere l'impatto ecologico di tutte le etape della vita del prodotto, dalla fabbricazione dei materiali fino al riciclaggio, per sapere quanto questo prodotto inquina realmente.
Recentemente, ascoltavo un'ingeniere specialista dell'industria mineraria parlare delle lampadine a basso consumo. È vero che durano più a lungo delle lampadine ad incandescenza classiche, e che permettono risparmi energetici sostanziali. Tuttavia, contengono mercurio e polveri fluorescenti molto tossici, è il proprio riciclaggio è molto difficile, cioè impossibile, nel caso dei paesi dove l'infrastruttura per il riciclaggio di prodotti semplici manca già. Pertanto, se si prende il ciclo entero della vita delle lampadine a basso consumo, sono potenzialmente più pericoloso per l'ambiente delle lampadine classiche.

A little about Kurt Cobain
Kurt Cobain was a famous musician who has stayed in history due to his talent and unforgettable tunes. But what do we know about his life? His family had an odd history—many of Kurt’s relatives committed suicide because of bipolar disorder, depression, or alcohol abuse. Because of that, a lot of relatives would be scared that they'd also want to end their lives.
Also, many members of his family were involved in music and spotted Kurt’s musical and artistic talents early, which was hardly surprising given the fact that Kurt got into music from two years old. Kurt’s aunt introduced him to classical artists and let him listen to music on vinyl at her home. When he was about ten, he played drums; later he asked his family for a guitar for his birthday.
In his early childhood, he was an energetic and cheerful boy, but then his character changed. He gradually became distant from his classmates and relatives when he started to listen to music and spend time in the library. After that, he decided that it was better to spend time on his own. Nonetheless, because he always stood out from anyone else, people around him continued to take an interest in him.
He dropped out of college right before the year when he would have graduated, which was shocking for his family and anyone who knew him. The decision to drop out of college was the worst decision you could make in America at this time. Nonetheless, Kurt didn’t worry—he was seriously about getting into music by this time.
He took jobs from time to time, but none of them were able to catch his interest. Also, he had to move in and out all the time with his friends or girlfriends for different reasons—sometimes he ran out of money because he didn't have a job, and sometimes he just kicked his neighbours out from the flat. He was often pissed off and couldn't get on with his friends—he mostly enjoyed being on his own.
Despite disagreements with his friends, Kurt was still determined to build a career as a musician, so he put a band together to play with them. Often during this time bands split up as soon as they were assembled. Finally, Kurt put together Nirvana, and this band was successful. At some point, one of the music labels spotted Nirvana's worth and the band got their first contract. Soon after that, they were on their first tour.
Kurt was unmistakably a talented showman. He gave his all on the stage, smashing up his guitars, and singing songs that devolved into wild screaming. This musical dynamics became Nirvana’s trademark, and most of their future releases were made in this style—at first slow and calm, then suddenly loud and quick.
Nirvana quickly became famous, especially when radio stations started including their songs in playlists. Their shows were often sold out, the band was staying in luxurious hotels which they had never seen before. Between tours, Kurt would stay home and paint. He would use a lot of different materials: acrylic and clay, blood, and sometimes even his sperm.
Nonetheless, there were also some problems in the Kurt's life. At first, he kicked the band's bassist out for no real reason, then he argued with the label that gave them a contract. Also, Kurt had chronic stomach pain that caused painful vomiting; unfortunately, doctors weren't able to diagnose the reason. Thereby, he was obliged to adapt his life to cope with this constant torment.
It came harder and harder for him to endure the insane tempo of tours and get on with the other band members. Yet Kurt was sure that Nirvana could make its way to fame.

12 octobre 2022 - le meilleur souvenir d’enfance
Je crois que le meilleur souvenir d’enfance est les moments passés chez mes grands-parents en chine pendant juillet et août. Pendant tous les vacances de l’école primaire, ma mère me laissait chez mes grands-parents pour qu’elle pouvait aussi avoir des vacances. Je participais aux cours de dessin et de calligraphie un jour sur deux pour le matin, et je crois que c’est pourquoi je suis plutôt bonne en arts maintenant. Peut-être, pendant un ou deux vacances, on m’a arrangé de classe d’écrire et lire pour améliorer mon chinois. Pour le reste du temps, soit je m’amusais avec ma petite cousine, soit je faisais mes devoirs de vacances. Ma grand-mère faisait toujours de goûter délicieux et chaque nuit, je pouvais boire du lait vraiment frais… en gros, je mangeais plutôt bien chez mes grands-parents.
C’est vrai que la condition de vie n’était pas aussi bonne par rapport à Hong Kong et en effet, quand je reviens à la ville de mes grands-parents, je ne l’aime pas beaucoup. Mais je crois que c’est l’amusement que j’avais contribué à ce beau souvenir !

Novel
Recently, I've been reading a novel called ”本好きの下剋上” (English title is “Ascendance of a Bookworm”.)
It is a popular work that has also been animated.
I heard that there are also Taiwanese and English versions edition.
This story is a different world fantasy, but there are many very Japanese motif expressions, so I think that many of the contents may be difficult for foreign readers to understand.
I wonder how it is translated.

For the Jobs That We Hate
To be honest, I’ve never wanted to become a celebrity, a famous musician, or an artist. Regardless of whether or not my classmates and I liked to, teachers encouraged us to be vocal only about what I call “commercial dreams.” For me, it has always been more meaningful to do what I like than what others consider interesting. However, I rarely received positive feedback from my teachers. While other students shared wishes like “to be a CEO of a corporation” or “to become a millionaire,” I've simply wanted to read and write.
Many of my classmates got into tech professions in college, even though they didn't like them or weren't inclined to them. When I've asked them why they had chosen these specialties, I was struck by the answers. They told me that technology is evolving day by day, and they had to choose a job that may bring them the biggest profit in the future.
It made me think a lot about modern priorities and values. It seems that today many of us are more driven by financial goals than by our inclinations. When I've talked with my peers, I've been noticing more and more their compromises with themselves. Their choice of career had nothing to do with interest but then it offered regular income and stability. Day by day, my peers are required to do things they consider dull to produce profit for their employers. Of course, there have always been people who are interested only in money, but I wonder how in only for a couple of decades have we become obsessed with financial prosperity.
Many of my acquaintances are in IT. It's ridiculous, but they've told me they hate it. The phrase, “I work in a start-up” may sound impressive, but in reality this job may not be so appealing. The main start-up workers' goal often is not to create a high-quality product, but to pump it out on the market as fast as possible, and then sell its prototype version to business angels. “Work on the product” usually doesn't include the implementation of employees’ views and ideas; they’re just the doers of tasks. Even in so-called "brainstorm sessions," designed to foster teamwork and creative vision, bosses have the final say in all matters.
It's difficult staying interested in a job you don’t like, let alone getting pleasure from it. When you're doing something you don't enjoy, you feel like you’re struggling with everything. The longer you do it, the more likely you’ll become annoyed by literally everything— not only bosses but also colleagues and tasks. Certainly, at some point you work out you do something wrong. However, at this point, you might find yourself sitting in the same office your entire life, attached to the workplace by a huge salary. All these things may sound terrifying, but most people are living like that day to day because a paycheck is too irresistible. In my point of view, it’s absolute madness.
In the workplace, many things can make you angry but if in general you like what you do, you won't be too disappointed. Anyone who broadcasts to the public that only money can make them happy, is lying. The CEOs are convinced that an incentive such as money is enough to motivate workers, but—hardly surprising—they’re wrong. While some sources state that financial success is truly enough for happiness, others believe that it’s not quite like that. It’s important not to idealise the role of money in our lives, even though this is becoming harder and harder to do in today’s consumer culture. Certainly, having finances is useful—at the very least, they help us not to worry about daily bills and overdue loans. For some, money somehow gives meaning to their lives—acquiring new stuff might be quite engaging. Nowadays, money seems to be a new trend or even a religion. It's crystal clear that today we don’t stop buying things even if we already have plenty.
Many factors propel the rise of commercial perception of life. First of all, all kinds of goods are now available to everyone, whereby you can buy anything in one click. Today we don’t use phones or wear t-shirts until they're worn out; instead, we simply buy a new one just because we want one. Secondly, advertisements have invaded all parts of our lives. We watch ads on our smartphones and smartwatches, not to mention the TV right in your living room. Today’s social media continue to show us a variety of appealing products, which then again increase our craving for shopping. We are buying and throwing away, and doing it again and again. Purchases are not about an actual need; they're only about our hankering.
Whenever you decide you want something and feel like you can no longer wait to fulfill your desire, remember about mass advertising and the propaganda of shopping. Today you can buy every kind of product imaginable, but do you really need it? People internalised the idea that money can give them everything, and made a profitable career synonymous with happiness. Meanwhile, this idea is not only superficial, but also harmful. Even though the average workday has been reduced in comparison with the past, we didn't start working less and having more free time.
Some of us in a way welcome the cages which we're building for ourselves. Many of us live with a state of mind that lets us think only of salaries and careers, not questioning anything else. This life may look pretty from the outside, but is that how it feels? I’m not sure. When we turn to dust, who’ll care about everything we own? I mean, life is a kind of short-lived anyway and by the time you figure out why so many people are unhappy with their jobs and yet they still work at them, it might be too late. So maybe try doing something you actually like?

How I changed my place of living
I had always liked living in big cities—at first, my family had lived in a huge metropolis, where my parents were getting an education while I was at school. It was a grim, depressing city that suited more, I realise now, professional people who craved careers and success. Millions of people were hustling there day by day, forgetting about calmness and losing their minds. The weather was mostly cold, and the long dark streets I walked through made me often think of monsters and ghosts. I never liked this city but couldn't change anything. After all, it was the place to live that my parents chose.
Both of them went to work early in the morning and returned late, usually when I slept. Neither they, nor I, had time to spend with each other: I was busy with school, and they were dealing with their adult jobs. In some way, this city helped me to understand at least one fact— I don’t want to live in a place like that.
When I grew up, I decided to move to another city. This one was similarly dark and cold as the previous city, but, at least, I chose it by myself. Any young adult appreciates freedom, and I was not an exception. Amazed by the idea of building a life by myself and spending time as I wanted, I didn’t pay much attention to anything I didn’t like there: crowded streets, noisy people, polluted air, and garbage here and there. Many things there made me uncomfortable, but I was too young and too arrogant to notice the bleakness of the city where I decided to live. I wanted to have an amazing life there and nothing could stop me.
Firstly, I decided to create a comfortable home, so after paying unreasonable rent for a gloomy flat, I headed to the local mall. There were all kinds of things to help make an IKEA-like house, and I gazed at small lampshades and cuddly toys for quite a long time. In the end, I bought a big wool blanket, a garland, and about a thousand various decorations, from glasses to rugs. After I put everything in order in the flat, I felt great. The apartment was still wretched and gloomy, and I couldn’t help thinking that it was quite a strange place, but, in general, I was pleased by my efforts to make it look good.
However, I hadn't lived in this place for even a year, and already I was not happy. It turned out that I overrated my ability to adjust to unpleasant conditions. No doubt, the city was impressive and sparkly, and there were a lot of small restaurants and pubs. You could walk for hours and always find new, amazing places. I had a job and friends there, and I'd even found small libraries and bookshops that become my favourite spots in the city. And yet I couldn’t bear living there.
Crowded streets made me anxious, and constant noise caused me headaches. If I wanted to spend some time in a library, I had to cross half of the city to get there, and if I wanted to buy a coffee, I often had to wait in a long line. More than that, this metropolis just made me depressed. Maybe it was its weather, with constant wind and rain, or possibly it was the gloomy people that I saw day after day. It seemed they forgot how to laugh, always busy with their jobs and projects. So, finally, I decided to move to another place.

Un nouveau appartement
En deux-mille-douze, ma femme et moi est allées à Whistler, au Canada, pour deux mois, pendant les jeux Olympics hiver, et les jeux Paralympics hiver. Quand on était là-bas, on a acheté un nouveau appartement à Londres. Avant on voyageait, on a vendu notre appartement et on a essayé d'acheter un nouveau appartement. Mais, les vendeurs de l'appartement que on a aimé ont refusé notre offre. Cependant, quand on avait à Whistler, on a vu l'appartement redevenir à vendu sur l'internet. Donc, on a fait un nouveau offre et leur accepté.

Please review my essay
IELTS Speaking question part 3:
Describe an interesting job you want to do in the future.
You should say:
What it is.
How you can get this job.
What kinds of work you would do for the job.
And explain why you want to have it.
I have always been good at English since I started learning it in middle school. As a result, I always want to work in a field that can make use of that. So, I have got a bachelor’s degree in international business and worked as an export-import coordinator. However, the stress from dealing with difficult customers made me quit after 2 years. Now, I would like to become an IELTS English teacher, and I am actually preparing to become one.
This is because there is an increasing demand for IELTS teachers in Vietnam as 12th graders who receive an IELTS score of 4 to 6.5 and above will be exempted from the English test of the national high school graduation exams and admitted to several top universities. Consequently, more and more IELTS private institutions have been built, and they only require their applicants for teacher positions to have an IELTS score of 7.5 and above.
I prepared for about 1 year before sitting the test. For that year, I have tried to write 2 essays for the writing part and answer 3 speaking questions each day, as well as listen to one listening test and write it down each week.
In my opinion, being an English teacher is not really psychologically demanding as most of the time they work with students, who tend to respect their teachers. In addition, private institutions typically provide their teachers with teaching materials such as plan books and textbooks, and they do not really need to prepare lesson plans. I have seen many of my friends enrolling in a course of these institutions and quitting right after 3 weeks. So, I think this job is a rather easy job with a decent wage. However, I plan to work for one institution for about 4 years and gradually gain a reputation and network. Then I would like to open a small one-teacher private institution myself in my own home. And one class would include more than 10 students. I think this would be a very lucrative and stable business.

My First Talk in English with a Native
Two weeks ago I had my first talk with a foreginer in english. That was a huge advance for me, I had been studying english for about three years, but I never had practiced my speaking. My thoughts was like: " I don´t need to speak, practicing my writing is enough". The origin of that thoughts were because I'm a shy person if talking to another person in my native language is hard for me, talking to a foreginer in a language that I can´t speak well was harder. I got inspired by a quote that says: " Fear last seconds, shame last days; but regret last forever" and one of my dreams was to meet a foregin person if I didn´t do it, I would have regret it all my life. It's really hard the first time, my hads were shaking while we were speaking, but then it gets easy. The quote that I read was right: " fear last seconds ". Now I´m so motivated to talk with another foreginers in english and, maybe in the future, to talk to a japanese. I suggest to you to practice your speaking skills with foreginers, it could be fun and you can meet a lot of interesting people. Nowadays is so easy to connect with a lot of people aorund the world.
Haiku:
My cheeks are flowers
From a red blossom tree
when I´m with you.

There's not small phones anymore
A few months ago I began to consider the idea of changing my phone for a smaller one. I had just read a book about digital minimalism and thanks to that I started my quest. But it was all in vain because even if the chips are getting smaller the phone screens are doing the opposite. It feels like I have a tablet in my hand rather than a phone.
After looking for a good two weeks I gave up, but by coincidence my mom bought a new phone and I was able to keep her old one: an almost decade old Iphone 6. And after using it for a month I can't be more happy. The size and weight are perfect and after a battery replacement, it still works like a charm.
Probably is just a matter of time until it becomes useless because of its lack of software updates, but I hope it runs for enough time for other companies to do new compact smartphones. That or I'll probably buy a dumbphone.

Ausflug am Wochenende
Liebe Rana,
Ich habe am letzten Wochenende einen Ausflug nach Beirut gemacht. Ich war mit meinem Familie mit dem Bus am donnerstag losgefahren.
Beirut ist sehr klein Stadt, aber sehr schön. wie waren zwei Tagen lange und haben in einer kleinen Wohnung am Beirut's Strand übernachtet.
Dort gibt es ein wunderschönen Blick und das Wetter war sonnig, aber nicht heiß. am Meer haben wir uns untergehalten und im Meer geschwommen und Abends in Stadt spazieren gehen und einkaufen. Der Ausflug hat mir viel Spaß gemacht und gut gefallen. Deshalb empfehle ich dich nach Beirut fahren, wenn du einen Ausflug machen möchtest.
Ich hoffe bald von dir zu hören.
Liebe Grüße

Ich habe viel vergessen, aber ich will es gedenken. Vielleicht werde ich dieses Website benutzen, so ich kann das machen.
Also, tut mir Leid für mein schlechtes Deutsch!

ゲーム実況
私はユーチューブでゲーム実況を毎日見ます。子供の時からずっと見ています。11歳ぐらいのときに、「Gronkh」というあの時にドイツで一番登録者がいるゲーム実況者を見つけて、あの時から数年間の間にマインクラフトのゲーム実況を1，2千話ぐらいを見ました！この数字を見たら多分ゲーム実況が好きだとよくわかりますね。
ちょっと年を取ると、英語の実況者も見つけてよく見ましたが、Gronkhさんはやっぱり一番好きでした。でも、去年ぐらい日本語をまじめに勉強したくなった時、日本人の実況者を探して、ポッキーさんと牛沢さんを見つけました。最初は週に一回ぐらいしか見ませんでしたけど、最近結構ハマっています。時間があったら毎日一日中特にポッキーさんの動画を見たいぐらい好きです。
一番好きなゲーム実況はインディホラーゲームの実況だと思います。普通のホラーはすごく苦手なんですけど、インディホラーゲームはグラフィックスがリアルな感じをしないし、ゲームも血生臭いというより怖いですから、私にとって見やすいです。そして、「Phasmophobia」というゲームの実況も全然怖くなくて、4人と一緒にしているゲームで、牛沢さんが友だちのレトルトさん、ガッチさんとキヨさんと一緒にしたらいつもすごく面白いと思います。

Que pensez-vous des transports en commun ?
Ça c’est une question fait pour moi, puisque je suis grand enthousiaste de transports en commun. Ça peut être surprenant, mais, quand je vais dans une nouvelle ville, j’ai hâte d’utiliser le métro, les trams, etc. C’est toujours intéressant en Europe, parce que les transports sont beaucoup plus développés qu’en Amérique du Nord, et donc il y a tellement de nouveaux choses à voir. Bien sûr, des temps en temps ça peut être un peu sale et les gens peuvent ne respecter pas vraiment l’espace personnel, ou bien se comporte un peu mal en public. De ne pas prendre les choses à la légère, occasionnellement, c’est bien plus grave que ça. Mais il faut rester alerte dans tous les cas quand on va dans la grande ville, et les transports ne sont pas une exception. Pour l’environnement, mais aussi pour bâtir un sentiment d’humanité commune, on a tous besoin de sortir de la bagnole un peu plus et compter sur le transport en commun à la place.

Playing with Lego as an adult
Since last year, I have been playing with Lego bricks for a hobby. I'm turning 33 next February, but my friends and coworkers think it's perfectly normal for an adult to play with Lego. A guard from my sister's workplace says that he likes to play with Lego, too. It wasn't like this when I was younger. Lego used to be considered as a kid's game for brain training in my country. However, nowadays, more and more adults are starting to collect Lego sets.
I'm not sure since when the trend has changed, but I have noticed that unlike the Lego products released in the early days, which were usually simple items like patrol car, water motorcycle, or castle. As time goes by, Lego has started launching new sets that are more life-like and sophisticated. My first Lego set, for example, is a pirate ship that can be turned into three forms, a pirate ship, an inn, or a skull island. It has more than two thousand pieces. Later on, I bought and built Winnie the Pooh and Hogwarts castle. Besides, Lego is collaborating with many classic movies like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars.
In addition to the movie series, Lego launched a cool feature on its website, which is called Lego Ideas. In this section, fans from all over the world are allowed to submit their custom designs and get voted by random online viewers. Once your design gets ten thousand votes, Lego will review and consider launching it into the market. I am most impressed with some of the vintage buildings posted by fans, which even outperform the official Lego buildings, in terms of color scheme and details.
Interestingly, to make Lego products more valuable, Lego is controlling the supply of certain products however popular they are. Therefore, some hobbyists tend to stock up on popular sets. Once Lego discontinues these sets, they will resell for a good price. I personally enjoy picking Lego themes that match with my living room and bedroom. To me, Lego is more than a toy. It's like a work of art.
