Los idiomas tonales
Por todo el mundo, hay lugares donde se hablan lenguas tonales. Para muchos de Estados Unidos o Europa, nos pone miedo la idea de tener que aprender todos los tonos distintos. Sin embargo, incluso en los idiomas indoeuropeos hay elementos tonales. Si has intentado aprender sueco o griego antiguo, es probable que los hayas experimentado antes. Aunque es discutible si son lenguas tonales de verdad o no, los elementos se acentúan mucho.
Además, los idiomas tonales son relativamente comunes. Alrededor de una mitad de los que se hablan en este mundo, o alrededor de 2500 idiomas, son tonales. Así que en realidad no hay nada de temer. Muchas personas los hablan cada día, sin problemas. ¡El chino mandarín, el idioma más hablado del mundo, es tonal! Al fin y al cabo, lo único que nos aplaza es nuestros miedos. Pero, como nos ha mostrado, son tontos, porque cualquier persona que quiere aprender un idioma tonal lo puede.
Dos oraciones con "de + infinitivo".
1. De decirme, habrías podido evitarlo.
2. De abandonarse, quizá se rompa la maldición.

Reflesh
I watched the movie on the Netflix last night. My favorite actor “Ryuhei Matsuda” was on that film. It was really interesting story and I enjoyed it a lot. Usually there are tons of things to do after I come home. Cooking, finishing up dishes, doing laundry, playing with my daughter and so on. My husband and my daughter were at my mother in law’s house. Spending time alone makes me reflesh but also notice how much I need my family.

Juni
Min mamma berättade för mig att hon kommer att komma till Sverige i juni. Hon saknar mig mycket, ibland för mycket enligt mig... Den sista gången såg vi varandra var i december 2019. Inte ens två år. Jag älskar min mor men jag är inte säker att jag tycker om henne som en person, om du förstår? Hon är lite manipulativ mot mig och gillar inte att jag är vegansk och feminism. Hon gillar min partner men gillar inte att han är också vegansk, och hon skulle föredra om min partner inte var vegansk. Hon säger att vi stänger oss själv i ett veganskt fängelse... Om det är logiskt??
Jag är glad över att sig henne igen snart men jag är REDAN stressad över alla våra bråkar. Jag vet inte än hur många dagar hon ska stanna, hon bara sa om den just två timmar sedan. Vi ska se.

Short mystery story
Hello, so I wrote a short mystery story which was basically for school, but I finally didn't use it, so I would like that someone read and correct it. I know it's very long, and it can be a bit boring as I was pretty restricted for the storyline but please, if you have a bit of time, I would be extremely grateful if you could read and correct this. If you don't want to correct this as it's too long, then I would appreciate simple feedback of the story or any writing advices. Also, could anyone approximately guess my English level with this text ? I know it's hard to guess a language level just with one simple text so if you can't, don't worry, but it would help me a lot. I just think I have more than A1 level.
I know I'm asking for a lot of things and I kind of feel bad for that, but I'm really motivated to learn English, so even the smallest help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration :)
‘-You’re Sadie, Jack’s best friend, right ?’ asked the detective.
‘-Yes I am.’ answered Sadie.
‘-Perfect. So, I briefly heard about what happened last night. Would you mind explaining the story in detail ?
-Sure. Yesterday, Luke and I were invited to Jack’s house. Luke is a best friend of Jack. It was a bit awkward as I had never seen him before. But we talked and he seemed nice.
Jack is very rich, maybe you have already seen his house, it’s just huge. Besides, he has one cook and two servants just for himself. So, Jack, Luke and I were talking in the kitchen while eating dinner. It was probably around 10:30 in the evening. Suddenly, Jack said he wanted to go outside to smoke. I was surprised because the weather outside was awful. It was raining and storming. From the inside of the house, we could hear the loud noise of the lapping rain hitting the ground, and we could see big scary but impressive flashes appearing in the sky through the window.
Therefore, I was left alone with Luke. We started talking, and he told me he had met Jack just recently. I said at my turn that Jack was a friend from my childhood but that he was becoming a bit weird these times. Luke replied that there was nothing to worry about. I frowned, because I am supposed to know him better, but I decided to not worry that much about it.
After 30 minutes, I started to get worried as Jack hadn’t returned yet. When I asked Luke what we should do, he said ‘Stay here. I’ll go look for him.’ I didn’t want to stay alone but as Luke insisted, I finally let him go. I waited, for more than 30 minutes. I started to become really anxious about them. What if something very bad had happened ? I decided to go out of the kitchen and go outside to search for them. After walking just a few steps, I noticed that there were blood marks on the ground. I immediately panicked and went back to the house. I opened the door leading to the common room, and then I saw… a body. Slowly, I got closer to the body and realized that my best friend Jack was actually laying on the floor, covered with blood. I screamed. But no one came; it seemed that everyone had suddenly disappeared. I continued to scream louder and louder, in vain. I was sobbing more than ever. It took me some time to realize it was meaningless. I then decided to call the police. And they came and stayed about an hour. I asked them how their research was doing, and they just answered me that they had found meds in his bedroom. But they still haven’t found the murderer. That’s why I decided to reach you.
-Well thank you, that was an interesting case.
-What do you mean by “that was” ?
-Oh, I just found the murderer.’ He said calmly.
‘-Really ?
-Isn’t it obvious ? Luke killed your best friend.
-But that’s not…
-Well, finding murderers is my job. So, who should we trust ?’
Sadie didn’t know what to answer.

Never give up
Hi guys, today I'd like to say how the situation is in Ecuador with the weather. Currently it's raining a lot. People with low resources have a lot of inconveniences because the water is entering the houses. At the same time, it is most difficult to work. That's a pity. I almost forgot that also a few days ago a volcano entered an eruption which caused the sky to be black in the morning. I'm fine, but always I remember these news. I know that are difficult days, but we never gave up.

Samuel
Samuel es mi amigo. El vive en Madrid. Es abogado y trabaja en una oficina. No le gusta el trabajo, pues tiene que despertar muy temprano para llegar allá. Todos los días el sale de su casa a las ocho. No va en coche, pues las calles ya están llenas. Entonces el va en bici, con su ropa de ciclista. Cuando llega a casa a las diez en la noche, está agotado de energía y no tiene más fuerza.

Why are so many people angry on social media? (pt. 5)
The third reason is that social media algorithms are also encouraging the spread of toxic content. Now, traffic is the target of almost all social platforms, which is the main way to bring profits. It leads their algorithms particularly favor those content that can bring traffic. More and more platforms prefer to rank posts by algorithm rather than in chronological order.
The algorithm choose the most forwarding and like content for more people to see. As mentioned above, emotional and angry content has been forwarded more often. Now with the blessing of the algorithm, more people will see these. And the content that can't stimulate people's emotional response, the algorithm will not like it, and fewer people will see it.
So, the product design of social media itself is stimulating us to publish more angry and toxic content, and then helping to spread it. To put it bluntly, it's a machine that makes and spreads anger.

2000
In Japan, there are four types of paper money. They are 1000, 2000, 5000, and 10000 yen. However, 2000 yen is rarely used because the trading volume is so small that you can't use it for vending machines or ATMs. On the contrary, someone was suspected that he tried to use counterfeit money when he used 2000 yen at checkout. I think it's more convenient to make 4000 and 7000 yen instead of 2000 and 5000.

Question
“When I went for the police, five people, four of them accepted, I was the only guy they didn’t”
This paragraph was picked from a speech of Jack Ma. I think there may be something wrong with this sentence, but I am not sure. At least, I think “four of them accepted” is wrong, shouldn’t it be “four of them were accepted”? Shouldn’t this sentence be in passive voice? And the first sentence “I went for the police” is a bit off. Shouldn’t it be “I went to the police station to apply for a policeman”? Because my English is limited, I asked for your help.

Social Media macht es schwierig, anwesend im Leben zu sein
Social Media macht es schwieriger, im realen Leben wirklich "hier" zu fühlen. Ich weiß nicht, ob andere Menschen dasselbe erfahren, aber fast immer fühle ich von meinem Handy abgelenkt und es macht es schwierig, auf dine im echen Leben zu konzentrieren. Es ist, als ob meine Gedanken und Ideen benebelt sind. Jeden Tag als ich fange an mit der Arbeit, muss hart daran versuchen, mein Handy vor mir selbst zu verstecken und alle Social-Media-Kanale zu blockieren. Persönlich habe ich keine Probleme mit Instagram, weil ich keinen Konto habe, aber Reddit kann mir viel Zeit stehlen, wenn ich nicht gut aufpasse. Die Tage, indem ich weniger Social Media nutze, sind die Tage, indem ich mehr erledigen und mehr zufrieden mit meiner Arbeit bin. Social Media kann den "Flow"-Zustand ganz einfach und schnell unterbrechen.
Social Media kann das sowohl das Privatleben als auch das der Arbeit schaden. Beispielsweise finde ich es immer traurig wenn mein Freund und ich zusammen essen oder kuscheln, und eine von uns zückt das Handy um ingendeinen Unsinn im Internet zu machen statt wirklich anwesend zu sein. Meine Mutter verbringt fast die Halbe des Tages in Socialnetzwerken. Außerdem kann Social Media dazu führen, dass Menschen eifersüchtig auf die "perfekte" Traumleben von Insta-Influencern und Facebook-Fruende. Es ist einfach egal, ob die Bilder die wir im Sozialnetzwerken sehen echt sind oder ob sie das Leben der Anderen falsch oder zumindest überpositiv darstellen. Auch wenn man weißt, dass sie nicht total ehrlich sind, wird man oft so eifersüchtig, traurig, hoffnungslos, oder unzufrieden wegen dieser Fotos, dass man sein eigenes Leben gar nicht genießen oder zumindest wirklich erfahren kann.

Libertango à la guitare
Libertango est un morceau renommé d'Astor Piazzolla. J'en suis tombé amoureux ces jours-ci, et je me suis donc dit : pourquoi ne pas le jouer ? Ça serait certainement très amusant ! Puisque je joue de la guitare classique, j'ai commencer à l'apprendre hier, à la guitare. Après quelques heures de pratique, il s'avère que le doigté du morceau n'est pas trop difficile, mais le tempo est ridiculement rapide. D'autre part, j'ai très envie de l'apprendre en entier, parce que j'adore la passion qu'il donne, un sentiment qui me fait danser en l'écoutant, même si je ne sais pas du tout danser ! Alors ça serait un vrai défi pour moi. Ça serait plus facile si j'avais un compagnon avec qui on pourrais jouer en duo, et j'espère trouver un tel compganon un jour.

Un café misterioso
Hoy después del trabajo decidí visitar un nuevo café para pedir algo para llevar. Este café tenía buenas reseñas y fotos bonitos en el sitio web, pero cuando llegué a la dirección, no había un café por ningún lugar. ¡Estuve rodeada por casas!
Miré el sitio web de nuevo pero no hay mucha información sobre la dirección correcta, aunque vi que tienen un carrito en el mercado del aire libre los sábados, así que voy a llevar a mi prima al mercado para intentar encontrarlo.

Aprendizaje a Distancia
En este momento en mi universidad hay aprendizaje a distancia. No me gusta este modelo mucho, porque extraño mis amigos y la interacción causal con los compañeros de clase. Sin embargo, el aprendizaje a distancia es más seguro, así pues entiendo las razones. Dicho esto, en el otoño espero tener clases en persona. ¡Y la universidad dijo que nosotros habremos tomado clases en persona! Si tiene menos de 100 personas. Sin embargo, es algo. Extraño las discusiones y la biblioteca y mis amigos de otras ciudades y países. Será divertido. Espero que la situación del coronavirus mejore y muchas personas sean vacunados. ¿Veremos, eh?

El rol de género
El rol de género es cultural y personal. Determina cómo los hombres y mujeres deberían pensar, hablar, vestirse e interactuar en la sociedad. Los padres tratan a los niños y niñas diferentes. Tradicionalmente, los padres enseñan a los chicos a reparar y construir cosas mientras las madres enseñan a las chicas a cocinar, coser y limpiar la casa. Entonces, los niños reciben la aprobación parental cuando se ajustan a las expectativas de género.
Todo esto es resforzado por otros agentes socializantes como los medios. En otras palabras, aprender el rol de género siempre ocurre dentro de un contexto social, los valores de los padres y la sociedad estando transmitidos a los niños. El rol de género adoptado durante la niñez continúa en la adultez.
