Hier matin, j’ai essayé de faire de la méditation. Je suis toujours confus quand les gens me disent que c’est un exercice mental très utile, parce que ça semble trop simple et trop facile pour être efficace. Inutile de dire que je fus encore plus surpris quand je l’ai trouvé plus difficile que j’avais pensé. Ce n’est pas facile du tout de se concentrer sur la respiration et de se jeter toutes les pensées qui arrivent. Pourtant, la clarté et la lucidité qui me sont arrivées après étaient inexplicables et je pense que je continuerai avec ça.
J’avais regardé une vidéo de Easy German sur le thème de la philosophie et je me suis dit après que j’en devrais lire un peu. La philosophie est un sujet que j’ai toujours peur d’aborder mais ça semble vraiment intéressant en même temps ! Après je suis allé au bureau de ma mère pour l’aider avec le travail de secrétariat. Comme je ne travaille pas officiellement et que je n’ai pas un endroit où je peux m’asseoir, c’est toujours un défi de trouver un ordinateur pour faire mon travail. D’habitude j’espère qu’il y a quelqu’un qui est tombé malade mais ce n’est pas quelque chose que je dois souhaiter non plus.
Le soir, mon père a fait de la cuisine japonaise. Il a fait le “butadon”, tout simplement un bol de riz avec du porc. C’était tellement délicieux mais puisque j’étais au régime, je me retenais un peu.

As far as I know, every city in China has non-motor vehicle lanes. There are many shared e-bicycles on our streets. When people need to ride, just scan the QR code on the bicycle with your mobile phone, then you can ride it around the city. Riding fees are so cheap, its starting price is only 1 or 2 RMB. It's very convenient to go anywhere in the city and you don't need to take a bus or a taxi. Sometime ago, there were many shared pedal bicycles on the street, but now, somehow they have disappeared. I really miss them because they are environmentally friendly and can keep our bodies healthy.

As a child who grew up in the countryside, I don't have a good impression of. My childhood was in the 1970s, when the Caucasian countryside was very poor. We didn't even have enough food.
But I think my childhood was still happy, and we could all play carefree before going to elementary school at the age of eight. In the summer, we would catch cicadas under the trees, and camp on the threshing ground. In the autumn, we would go to the fields to watch adults catch hares. In the spring, we would dig wild vegetables in fields. In the winter, we would make snowmen and have snowball fights.
Recently, the epidemic situation in China had been on the rise again, and the most serious of which was Yangzhou. The number of infections there has been as high as over 500. But our city hasn't had a single case of infection so far, so it's really safe now. Moreover, we have almost achieved full vaccination. So our lives are almost the same as usual now.
This epidemic has brought huge economic losses to people all over the world, and we still don't know when it will end. Maybe it will coexist with human beings for a long time like the cold, and we should be prepared for it.
Now, we celebrate the mid-autumn festival, and the main tradition is buying some gifts for the elders. Of course, the mooncake is necessary, and then the families eat dinner together. That is basically the case, at least in my opinion. For some young people, maybe, they will take advantage of the holiday and go out haveing some fun.
This afternoon when I got off work, I saw many fallen yellow flowers on the streets, and they were very beautiful. I looked up and found that rows of locust trees were blooming with little yellow flowers. So I recorded a short video for you to enjoy.

What type of reading do you enjoy most?
I usually don’t spend much time reading books, however, I enjoy reading about topics related to technology. I like it because of three reasons.
My first reason is that my major is engineering, specifically mechanical engineering. I spent five years preparing to become an engineer plus my internship. It was a wonderful experience, which I had to read a lot, to be more specific books about engineering such as heat transfer, fluid mechanics, dynamics, statics, and physics, so on. Although I am not a reading book lover, I extremely enjoyed reading those books because I could understand how physics or other science works in the real world, and any action in our nature has an explanation.
Secondly, I like learning new things. So studying mechanical engineering was a good way not only to discover and understand any complex process about machines but also to comprehend the science. In this major, students need to look for many information, specially in journals, where have to read a lot of papers. This new world was totally new for me, and when I started reading papers, I was impressed about the formidable information that I found out. Indeed, I continue reading papers until these days.
Finally, I love reading technology because I like it. I always read about new discovers in science, prototypes or products made by big companies, which gives me a special interest. For instance, this big company, Tesla, released a robot with the same technology in their electric cars. And right now, the owner is working on a new prototype that is a human-robot. These kinds of news make me to think about our future. It is true that technology is growing up very fast, yet we should be worried about the impact in our societies. So this conclusion or thought was carried out by reading technology.
To sum up, technology is my best type of reading because it gives me much information, knowledge, and possible events in future.

Včera a dnes
Včera a dnes jsem měla poměrně velmi dobrý den. Nepracovala jsem moc přesčas. Včera jsem šla do restauraci s novým kamarádem z Tchajwanu. Po večerem, mluvila jsem s kamarádem v parku, zatímco jsem potkala s kamarádkou, která se mnou studovala v Německu ale je z Nizozemska.
Dnes jsem jedla s tchajwanským kamarádem opět, ale s mojí kolegyni a jeho dva nadřízení. Objednala jsem těstoviny jako moje kolegyně. Byly průměrné, ale zážitek byl vzácný.
Před dobou, že jsem odešla z práce, můj šéf potvrdil, že budu moct odejet z služební cesty z Štrasburku dvě dny dřív něž moje kolegy a budu mít volno v následující pondělí. Jsem velmi šťastná, protože budu moct setkat s přítelem, který bude mít služební cestu v Bruselu.
Po prací, setkala jsem s lidí okolo náměstí Lucemburska. Mluvila jsem s spolužáky a kolegyní a jejích kamarády. Moje kolega byla tak překvapená, když se uvědomila, že rozumím španělsky, protože jsem nikdy to nezmínila. Nezmínila jsem jí to, protože už nemluvím španělsky tři let. Vymyslím česká slova, když mluvím španělsky...

« Pluie de guérilla »
Au Japon, il y a une expression un peu marrante : la « pluie de guérilla (gerira-gouu) ». Elle signifie l'averse, la pluie intense de courte durée et localisée. Ce n'est pas rare qu'il pleut au Japon, ce qui est évident vue la saison de pluie au moin de juin, mais cette averse est de plus en plus fréquante récemment à cause du réchauffement climatique.
Tout d'abord, comment peut-on définir la pluie de guérilla ? Ce n'est pas un mot officiel utilisé par les experts en météorologie, ni par l'agence métérologique japonaise, mais les médias utilisent ce terme très souvent parce que c'est accrocheur. Il désigne la pluie de 50 mm/h sur la surface de 10 km2 environ, l'espace extrêment limitée. On a commencé a utiliser ce terme depuis 2008, dont la raison n'est pas revélée. (Je n'en suis pas certain, mais il me semble que la pluie forte est définie comme 8mm/h en France, donc je pense que 50mm/h est relativement intense.)
La raison de l'augumentation de ce type de pluie est claire : le réchauffement climatique. La pluie est originellement de l'eau qui se trouve dans l'air, et ensuite elle se vaporise et monte au ciel. Là, la vapeur se refroidit dû à la température basse à le haute altitude et devient de l'eau encore une fois, et enfine tombe du ciel sur la terre en tant que pluie. Si l'origine de la pluie, de l'eau dans l'air, est plus abondante, il y aura plus de pluie. Maintenant, à cause du réchauffement climatique, la température augmente, et l'air est capable de contenir plus de l'eau. C'est pour ça que la pluie de cette sorte se produit plus fréquamment qu'auparavant.
Il y a des statistics pour montrer que l'augumentation de la pluie de guérilla n'est pas que le phénomène ressenti. Selon les données tirées de weather news, il y a eu 173.8 fois de la pluie à 50mm/h par an en moyenne entre 1976 et 1985, comapré à 232.1 fois entre 2007 et 2016. C'est inquiétant surtout pour les grandes villes car s'adapter aux conditions actuelles prendrait du temps. On a besoine d'aménager des canaux d'écoulement et des réservoir d'eau, mais c'est difficile de les changer pour les ville dont le system d'évacuatoin est déjè établi de vaste envergure.

Describe tu momento favorito del día
Me encantan las tardes cuando llego a casa del trabajo. Cuando entro por la puerta, mi esposo me está esperando a saludarme con un beso. Todo el verano, hasta la semana pasada, íbamos a la piscina del vecindario casi todos los días. Nadábamos por una hora más o menos, nadando un kilómetro y flotándonos por el resto del tiempo. Ya que la piscina está cerrada, tenemos que decidir en otra actividad que hacer juntos. Todavía hace demasiado calor para correr afuera; quizás demos unas caminatas.

Trois paradoxes sur les habitants de mon pays (l'ÉU)
1. Ici, la science médicale est extrêmement avancée et les personnes qui ont de l’argent peuvent recevoir un niveau des soins médicaux que d’autres pays ne produisent pas. Pourtant les services de santé pour la population générale ne sont pas assez disponible ni de grande qualité.
2. Aux États-Unis, le travail rythme la vie quotidienne pour tous. Les américains doivent y donner la priorité donc ils se sentent toujours stressés. Le secteur de « self-care » fait gagner beaucoup d’argent pour les entreprises qui en profitent.
3. Pas mal de gens s’opposent aux avortements et pensent que le gouvernement doit les interdire. Pourtant la loi ne donnent aucunes bénéfices que les parent pourraient utiliser pour payer la garde d’enfants ni aucuns jours de congé pour donner naissance.

thanks for showing my mistakes
Would you prefer to take courses taught by instructors with you have already had other classes or would choose to take courses with teachers you have never taken before?
Increase their knowledge is essential to achieve goals. Attending school is the best way to do it. Professors have a great responsibility with each of their scholars. Selecting the best educator for each person is an important decision. Some people preferred to choose classes with usual teachers. Others like to attend classes with different instructors. From my perspective, I disagree with the statement. I think it is more significant to pick classes with other teachers rather than with known ones because bodies can adapt to modern styles and motivate to develop their knowledge.
First, taking subjects with other educators can be challenging. It takes time to learn and readjust to their rules and teaching style. Each faculty member is unique, so having an open mind personality helps students. For instance, when I was in my first high school year, most of my tutors were unfamiliar. My friend told me, my chemist instructor was a very demanding professor. I was scared about that class. Moreover, I decided to concentrate on all the rules and each part of the projects and assignments. Consequently, this helps me adjust well and follow the requirements. I learned that even with a strange teacher, I can learn a new technique. Therefore, I suggest taking classes with other professors can help to adjust to different situations in life.
Second, attending a group with a different instructor motivates individuals to make their best. Students want to leave a good impression on the tutor. Usually, this can strengthen the incentive in most of the undergraduates. For example, when my sister was at college, she likes to give their best to keep her scholarship. When she takes a subject with a strange instructor, she introduces her to the educator to show an interest in the subject. When she doesn’t follow something, she always requests the lecturer a second explanation. All these actions support and gain her incentive to develop their knowledge. As a result, teachers value her effort and recognized it. Thus, I advise that keeping a constant effort can motivate people to gain knowledge.
In essence, I strongly disagree that it is better to choose groups with familiarized tutors rather than subjects with different instructors. This is because of two reasons: one, scholars can learn to readjust to new teaching styles and other is that mantain motivation can enhance their education.

Cibo: fattore culturale e sociale (tradotto dallo spagnolo)
Il cibo, come la lingua, esprime la cultura di chi l’utilizza, è depositaria delle tradizioni e dell’identità di un gruppo. È un fenomeno molto diffuso oggi, che si verifica nel panorama alimentare ed è un processo tipico del postmodernismo a cui il cibo è soggetto.
I piatti servitti non sono solo “ buoni da assaporare”, ma diventono “deliciosi da mangiare e belli da vedere”, e questo accade attraverso tecniche di preparazione che rendono il loro aspetto particolarmente sorprendente e meraviglioso.
Un esempio è quello delle sculture di cioccolato, o quello delle salsicce o del burro che dominano i cibi freddi delle grandi catene alberghiere. La tavola diventa, quindi un luogo di godimento estetico oltre che di gusto.
Il cibo, perciò, più che essere gustato con la bocca e la lingua, si apprezza con gli occhi e con l’anima. L’antropologa Mary Douglas, ha sottolineato l’analogia tra il cibo e il codic comunicativo, che coinvolge tutti i 5 sensi, dal gusto, che è il senso implicito alla vista con tecniche di rappresentazione del cibo (come la fotografia) che si stanno diffondendo sempre più nella nostra società e adatto al consumo.
Come codice, il cibo ci fornisce informazioni sul suo ruolo, stato sociale, età, clase e ordine nella gerarchia sociale. Il cibo, infatti, ha parole quasi come un sistema linguistico fatto di prodotti e componenti.
Queste parole sono organizzate secondo regole grammaticali molto precise e con lo stesso ordine seguito nelle ricette e nei menu.

6 Millionen
Wusstest du, dass mehr als 6 Millionen Deutschen nicht richtig lesen und schreiben können? Der Zahl hat mich wirklich beeindruckt. Man würde erwarten, dass den europäischen Ländern fast ein 0% erreichen würden. Glücklicherweise sinkt der Zahl dank der Politik der Bundesregierung. Nicht richtig lesen hat große Wirkungen in Analphabeten. Sie sind zuverlässig und finden leider große Barrieren, wenn sie ein Job suchen. Man nimmt wirklich diese kleinen Fortschritte als gegeben an.

Greeks and Buddhism
Is Buddhism still a major religion in Japan? There are many statues of Buddha in Japan. It is quite interesting that the image of Buddha everyone recognizes is of Greek origin.It's known that the Greek settlers that came with Alexander the Great built the Bactriam Empire in what is today Afghanistan. Many of them converted to Buddhism and blended their culture with their new religion. So they madee the first human representation of Buddha using the likeness of the Greek god Apollo as model. That could mean that Greeks have indirect influence over Japan as this country would embrace buddhism years later.
I guess it'd be far-fetched to conclude that the Buddha statues in Japan are , in a way, depictions of the Greek god Apollo.

09/09/2021 La casa de Leo
Mi amigo, mi alma gemela Leo Messi me invitó a su casa para el fin de la semana. La invitación era un regalo para mi 14 cumpleaños. No podía rechazar la oportunidad para ver esta lujosa casa.
La casa estaba situada en la riviera francesa, a 8 kilómetros de Marsella, en las afueras. Necesitábamos 5 minutos para caminar a la playa con arena blanca. Leo tuvo un yate muy lujoso aquí.
El edificio tenía 2 plantas muy amplias. Había 7 habitaciones de otros tamaños en cada planta. Las habitaciones de lado del mar tenían terrazas grandes con tumbonas y sombrillas. Además, había una azotea muy moderna en el techo del edificio.
Todas las paredes estaban decoradas con otros cuadros de Picasso y Rembrandt. Había grifos de oro en todos los cuartos de baño en la casa. Estaba verdadero chocante.
Me gustaba la casa de Leo porque la ofrecía vistas del mar muy maravillosas. Además era diferente a todas las casas que he visto.

Promise is Nothing
Although it is the seventh day of this term, I've found out four boys students in my class smoking. Three of them were smelled out by me, while the other was pointed by his calssmate. One of them named Bai were caught by me twice. I asked him to write a note to garantee that he would never do it again, otherwise he would go home for a week. But his roommate told me that he smoked a lot in their dormitory. I smelled the cigarette odour from him in the evening class. I aksed him whether he smoked, he said no. I didn't believe him, he told me the reason why he smelled like that was he had gone to the public toilet in school where many boys smoking there. I didn't believe a word and was so disappointed at him, so I just ignored him.
His promise is nothing.

09/09/2021 Un e-mail a Pedro
Hola, Pedro:
Que tal? Espero que estés bien. Gracias por contactarme.
Mi casa actual es muy pequeña. Está en las afueras de Bilbao. Está situada cerca de la autopista.
Soy carpintero y tengo muchas herramientas. Ahora no tengo bastante espacio. Además la instalación eléctrica es muy alta y no puedo instalar el aire acondicionado.
Necesito una casa más moderna. Debería tener una habitación con al menos 25 m2. Voy a hacer un taller allí. Las ventanas grandes serían muy buenas porque la luz natural es la mejor para trabajar.
Podría gastar 2 millones de euros. Mi hermana Shakira me ha dado dinero.
¡Gracias por un mensaje! Seguimos en contacto!
Un saludo,
Bob
