プレゼント
プレゼントをもらうのはいいものだ。特に、ほしいと思っていたものをもらった時の嬉しさは品物や値段ではなくて、その心。もらう度に私は嬉しくなるけれど、今まで一番好きなプレゼントは手作り物だった。だれでも作れるような、何の変哲もないバッグ。もし、それが作ったものではなくて、買ったものならば私はあれほどうれしかったはずです。
20歳の誕生日にタオさんにこのバッグをもらいました。その日に、タオさんは連絡しませんでした。彼女はもう私の誕生日を忘れていたと思いました。少し寂しかったです。夜、勉強している時外にタオさんの声がきこえました、私はすぐ走って、彼女が笑顔でプレゼントを持っているのを見ました。とても嬉しかったです。しばらくはなしをしてから、タオさんが帰りました。
勉強した後でプレゼントを開けました。箱を開けると、中にタオさんが作った青いと白いのかわいいバッグでした。私はとても幸せでした。
まるで夢のような日。あの日を忘れられません。
あなたは、もし あなたがプレゼントをもらうならば、どっちが良い。まごころ込めて作ったもの。お店で買った、機械で作られたもの。私ならいくら出来栄えが悪くたって、手作りの方を選ぶだろう。

I read two books about Hanshin Gardening. Hanshin Gardening is a gardening company, but they maintain the ground of Koshien Stadium. Their ground maintenance is awesome. Even if it rains heavily and the ground is flooded, they maintain the ground to play baseball in a short time. One of the two books was written by the Chief Grand Keeper. Another book is novel and is set in Hanshin Gardening. It was interesting and I could read it all at once.

Dia dezoito de setembro
Em Taiwan, o serviço militar é obrigatório pelos homens taiwaneses.
O meu avô e pai foram servirando na Ilha Kinmen.
Kinmen é um arquipélago em jurisdição do governo de Taiwan, mas ele é mais perto de China.
O meu pai passava dois ou três anos peolo serviço militar.
Foi mais longo pela vida humana.
Diz-se que nos anos quando Taiwan e China foram em oposiçao nervoso, os soldados chineses puderam nadar para Ilha Kinmen.
Eles foram chamando "Fantasima da Aqua".
Mas agora, os homens com mesmo anos de idade, só passavam quatro mêses pelo serviço militar.
Normalmente, eles são exércitos.
O meu amigo estudava sobre avião, e ele serviu na Força Aérea.
É legal!
Além disso, o meu outra amigo foi em o serviço militar alternativo de diplomacia.
Ele fala espanhol muito bom.
Então, ele servia pela embaixada Taiwan em Equador.
É uma experiência inesquecível na vida dele.

Books or Movie
I like books rather than movies. Of course, I enjoy both but I think books are more interesting. This is because I can read books anywhere and anytime; I often kill time reading a book. It's also possible to watch a movie using a portable device, but I want to watch a movie at once without disturb. Additionally, books have a long history and they are cheaper. If you have no money, you can read a book in libraries or can browse it in a bookstore.

Reseña de película: "Zodiac" (parte 1)
Hace unos días vi una película, hecha en 2006, llamada Zodiac. La película trata del "asesino zodiaco", un asesino en serie que fue activo durante los sesenta y setenta en California. Pero el asesino en sí mismo no es la personaje principal de la peli. En vez, el protagonista es una caricaturista, llamado Robert Graysmith, quien trabaja para un diario en San Francisco. La película empieza con una escena espantosa: Es la noche del día de Independencia, y el cielo sobre Vallejo (un suburbio de California) está llenado con pirotecnias. Una pareja joven, que son amantes secretos, manejan a un parque que mira desde arriba a la ciudad. Inicialmente, hay unos otros coches allí, pero ellos se van pronto, quedando la pareja en paz. Ellos coquetean un poco, pero después de un rato un otro coche acerca a ellos, parando atrás de su coche por unos minutos antes de salir. Unos minutos atrás, el coche misterioso regresa. La pareja cree que el hombre quiere robarlos, pero el hombre acerca del coche y dispara a ellos rápidamente, sin decir nada.
Un mes atrás, el diario donde trabaja Robert recibe una carta anónima, en cual el escritor amenaza a matar a más personas si el diario no publica otra parte de la carta, que es escrito en código. El diario decide publicar las partes codificadas y una pareja vieja, que suscribe al diario, logra a descodificar la carta, pero no revele ningún información sobre la identidad del asesino.

Journal
I knew of the word credit-card from the very beginning when I started learning English, but I didn't know it exactly. Today I found this topic again and I decided to check it out. We call credit-cards 信用卡 in Chinese and there is another bank card in our country. We call it 储蓄卡 (saving card). If we have some spare money, we will put it in the bank under our saving cards account in order for the future unexpected use, but usually our credit cards don't need to put money in though you can use it and the only thing you should do is to return the money at a certain period after you use it. Some time ago, we didn't have credit cards and we only had saving cards, and I don't know when credit cards appeared. I recall that bank staff highly recommended credit cards. Of course, I got one. It seems that you need to use it several times a year and return the money timely. If you don't use it in a year, you have to pay a certain service fee. If you don't return the money timely, you have to pay high interest. Now I don't have any credit card because it's too much trouble and often makes me feel nervous because it's using rules. I only have a salary card to receive my salary now and I never use any bank card to pay for things because I have Alipay and WeChat pay and they are very convenient, so nowadays, money is just a number.

Jugando al tenis
Mi esposo y yo hemos empezado a jugar al tenis por las tardes después del trabajo. Nunca antes había jugado al tenis, y esto se hace obvio si me miras. Soy bastante buena haciendo contacto con la pelota, pero no tengo ningún control de adónde va cuando la golpeo. Mi marido tampoco juega bien, pero los dos nos divertimos.

Stomach acidity and human eating behaviors
In a study titled The Evolution of Stomach Acidity and Its Relevance to the Human Microbiome [3], a team of researchers looked at acidity levels in the stomachs of over sixty animal species. They noticed that the highest levels of acidity were found in meat-eating and scavenging species, while the lowest levels were found in plant-eating animals. This may be because gastric juices act as disinfectants, sanitizing the food being digested within the stomach.
There are indeed a lot more pathogens in meat (especially when decomposing) than in fruits and plants. Carnivorous and scavenging species get rid of those pathogens thanks to very acidic pH, while herbivores do not require such acidity. It is actually best for them not to have stomachs that kill too many bacteria, the latter being vital for the digestion process in ruminants.
The authors of this paper point out that the highly acidic pH measured in the human stomach makes it much closer to carnivorous animals, and even to scavengers, than to herbivores. Stomach pH in humans has been measured at 1.5, whereas in the African vulture, the scavenger par excellence, it stands at 1.3. In this regard, human beings are vastly different from some great apes, whose gastric pH is much less acidic (3.7 in baboons, despite them being omnivorous). To account for such acidity in humans, researchers have hypothesized that our ancestors may have been neither purely carnivorous, nor vegetarian, but rather, omnivores with occasional scavenging behaviors.

Paleo, vegetarian: what did our ancestors truly eat?
In recent years, proponents of the meat-based, so-called ’paleo’ diet have been pitted against vegetarians, in a fierce face-off in the media and on social networks. Each side brandishes a slew of arguments to assert the superiority of its eating patterns over the other. Lately, more and more of these arguments have focused on the physiological legitimacy of carnivorism on the one hand or vegetarianism on the other.
Paleo advocates insist that their diet is none other than that of our hunter-gatherer ancestors before the advent of agriculture (about ten thousand years ago) who they claim were free from the modern ’diseases of civilization’ plaguing us today. According to them, it is therefore natural to give pride of place to meat, fruit, and nuts (the supposed diet of the average hunter-gatherer of old), while shunning cereals, dairy, and of course sugar and processed food, which did not exist back then [1]. As for vegetarians, they contend, among other arguments, that humankind does not have the hunting instinct found in meat-eating animals, and that human teeth and digestive system are supposedly typical of plant-eating animals, and completely unsuitable for the consumption of meat products [2].
All those claims have long been thoroughly disproved [1]. It is well-established that there is no ’typical’ hunter-gatherer diet, as aboriginal tribes from Venezuela (for example) have a completely different diet from that of certain South-African tribes. Conversely, the mere fact that humans display anatomical advantages conducive to the consumption of some plants in no way means that they must necessarily be incapable of consuming meat.
Of note, however, is another physiological factor that is much less discussed: the acidity of the human stomach. Why is it remarkable? Because it suggests that our ancestors may have displayed scavenging behaviors! Now that’s a piece of information that may give you a new outlook on this endless quarrel...

L'Arc de Triomphe couvert
Je viens d'apprendre que l'Arc de Triomphe est finalement couvert. J'ai déjà lu le plan de le couvrir, ce qui était une idée d'un artiste qui était déjà décédé.
Franchement, je ne suis pas vraiment impressionné par cette œuvre. Si je ne dis pas de bêtises, l'idée a été conçu dans les années soixante, l'époque où aucune technologie de retouche des image existait. Mais aujourd'hui, elle abonde, et même un individu peut faire des retouches sur des photos ou images. Le concept peut être un peu démodé si l'intention de l'artiste est pour mettre des gens mal à l'aise avec le objet peu ordinaire.
Ceci dit, je ne suis pas critique qui s'est entraînée à évaluer des œuvres d'art. Je crois qu'il doit y avoir d'autres intentions cachées derrière cette installation.

Schultag
Ich habe mich immer gefragt, warum die Lehrerin besteht auf, die Fenster offen bleiben zu lassen. Es ist Winter, deswegen ist es raus arschkalt. Vielleicht denkt sie, dass der Wind uns hilft, um nicht einzuschlafen.
Diese Tage sind voller Müdigkeit, Langeweile und Angst. Bald haben wir unsere Klausuren und niemand sieht bereit dafür aus. Michaela will, dass ich diese Nacht bei ihr komme, damit wir ein paar Dinge zusammen überprüfen können. Ich bin persönlich kein Fan von Lerngruppe, weil sie zwar spannend sind, aber wir machen alles außer lernen. Michaela ist aber eine sehr enge Freundin, also ist sie meine Ausnahme.

Presenting a colleague’s work
To describe and learn to better deal with emotions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses a very powerful metaphor: the "passengers on the bus".
The following game-like series of short Youtube videos, titled Passengers on the Bus - Choose Your Own Adventure, is an excellent illustration of how to use this metaphor to improve your responses to the various emotions, feelings, and thoughts you may experience in your daily life.
In the first video, you are the driver of a bus, but something happens, and you have a choice to make at the end of the video. Your choice will then determine which video you will see next in the sequence.
This amazing project was created by (X), an expert in behavioral psychology and PhD student at (X), where she researches rule-governed behavior in accordance with Relational Frame Theory, one of the theories underpinning ACT.
If you are curious about her other work, you can follow (X) on Twitter and on ResearchGate.

Ein gutes Thema
Ich habe seit einer Weile etwas bemerkt: mein aktives Vokabular, also das Vokabular, das ich mühelos benutzen kann, ist viel kleiner als mein passives Vokabular.
Das merke ich sofort, wenn ich Media bzw. Inhalte die für Muttersprachler gedacht ist, konsumiere und für verstehen kann, aber würde so etwas mit viel Schwierigkeiten reproduzieren.
