Ceci n'est pas un journal
Si on penserait profondément au sujet des mots et de la langue, on peut arriver à la conclusion que l'idée de l'appellation et description des choses ou concepts serait, dans l'ensemble, complètement absurde. A qui tombe la tâche de désigner ce que sont les objets autour de nous? Il est seulement par une simple coïncidence, un caprice de quelqu'un qui avait vécu bien avant notre naissance, que une pipe s'appelle une pipe et un journal, un journal. Si j'étais né dans l'antiquité et j'avais inventé la roue - mais j'avais décidé de l'appeler une «équerre», aujourd'hui les motos auraient été appelées les «deux-équerres», et personne ne penserait que ça serait absurde.
De cette manière, les mots construisent la réalité. Ils nous permettent de décrire notre existence absurde, et nous sommes obligés de faire ça en accord avec les règles imposées pour nos ancêtres qui ont conçu les langues. Règles, il faut ça dire, qui sont parfois aléatoires. Donc il ne faut pas perdre de temps en considérant l'absurdité de cette invention humaine qu'on utilise pour communiquer entre nous.
Si vous avez lu jusqu'à cette part, il est possible que vous aussi vous demandiez si mes délibérations menent a quelque part. Toutefois, j'ai peur que vous ayez gagné rien en lisant cette tentative d'écrire quelque chose de cohérent sur le sujet d'absurdité, surtout parce qu’elle a été écrit pour quelqu'un qui ne sait pas il-même que serait ce dont il voulait écrire, ou à que conclusion le texte devrait arriver.
Néanmoins, vous avez été averti - ceci n'est pas un journal, enfin, ni une pipe. Et, surtout pas une œuvre de Magritte.

Vous vivez en France dans une zone piétonne du centre-ville. Le maire de votre ville a décidé d’ouvrir certaines des rues de cette zone à la circulation des autobus pendant la journée. Comme représentant(e) de votre immeuble, vous écrivez une lettre au maire pour contester cette décision en justifiant votre point de vue. (250 mots minimum)
Monsieur Le Maire
Je m’appelle Mehmet Akif Uzer. Je suis un citoyen de votre ville et j’ai appris votre décision d’ouverture de zone piétonne aux autobus. Je vous écris au nom de mon immeuble qui est dans cette zone pour vous décourager sur cette décision.
Je suis certain que vous pensez l’augmentation d’utilisation de transports publique facilite la vie. De plus, votre décision améliorera les conditions des touristes. Meme s’il y a des avantages, ce n’est pas pour autant qu’il n’y a aucun inconvénient.
Il est certain que nous sachions il y a certain raison pour être contre à votre décision qui toujours valable comme l’histoire. Nous pouvons certainement admettre que nous essayons de protéger cet histoire. Par ailleurs, s’il y aura des circulations, l’esprit de l’histoire apparaitra. En outre, dans les villes développés comme notre ville, il n’y en a pas beaucoup place pour marche ou faire du vélo. Il ne fait pas de doute que si vous réalisez votre décision, il n’y aura plus place que nous pouvons nous détendre dans le chaos de Paris.
Il est indéniable qu’il existe des problèmes de transportation à Paris. Certes l’ouverture de zone piétonne aux autobus est une solution, cependant vous pouvez augmenter le nombre de centre qui nous pouvons louer le vélo. Ça sera non seulement protéger l’esprit de ville mais aussi l’augmentation d’utilisation du vélo améliorera la santé de la société.
Vous souhaitant bonne réception de ce courrier, veuillez agréer, Monsieur le Maire, l’expression des mes sentiment distingués.

Описание картины
На стене висят часы и картины.
Лампа стоит над диваном.
Кресло стоит против телевизора и справа от диваном.
Диван стоит под лампой, слева от кресла.
Телевизор во главе полочке.
Некоторые книги лежат на полочке, а другие стоят.
Расстение стоит в цветочным горшке, под полкой.
Ковёр лежит на полу.
Занавески висят на окне.

Une bonne surprise
Un petit garçon accompagné de ses parents passe une agréable journée dans le zoo. Fatigué, il dort pendant un moment. Quelle surprise à son réveil.
La cage des singes a été ouverte. Par hasard, quelqu’un du personnel avait oublié de fermer la porte de la cage de ces animaux.
Le garçon a toujours aimé les singes. Il était enchanté pour la façon dans laquelle ils se déplacent parmi les arbres. À s’avis, tous les hommes devraient être comme eux.
Les singes ont donc se propagé dans tout le zoo. Les personnes ont été émerveillés par l’événement. Quelle bonne journée pour le garçon chanceux.

Bürokratie: Geburtsurkunde
Wenn man geboren ist, bekommen seine Eltern eine Geburtsurkunde. Diese Urkunde ist unsere erste Unterlage und sie ist sehr wichtig. Auf dieser Unterlage stehen die Einzelheiten des Kindes z.B. Geburtsort, Geburtsdatum, Personalien der Eltern, und die Namen des Kindes. Ich weiß, dass in deutschsprachigen Ländern, wenn man ein Kind benennt, muss das Geschlecht des Kindes vom Namen klar sein. Diese Geburtsurkunde ist eine wichtig Unterlage, die gefordert wird, wenn man seinen ersten Reisepass beantragen und heiraten will. Normalerweise bewahren die Eltern die Unterlage irgendwo sicher auf. Dann, wenn man alt genug ist, geben die Eltern die Urkunde dem Kind. Es ist wichtig, dass man immer (außerhalb Urlauben) sie nah aufbewahrt, sonst wird man wie ich, deren Geburtsurkunde gerade in einem weiten Land ist.
Danke schön fürs Lesen :)

Writing: Televising Trials Help Popularize Knowledge
The more the public knows about the criminal justice system the better. Subject to appropriate safeguards, there's no reason why there shouldn't be televising of very many cases. Members of the public, denied seeing a real criminal court in action unless they're there in person. In this age of mass media, most people derive their knowledge of what goes on in a court from what they see on videos. However, many vidoes just show clips about trials and they have few accurate portrayals and even present a misleading picture. The official releases complete trial video ensuring the public gain first-hand experience of how that system works.

What do I do to avoid procrastination?
Nothing!
I procrastinate!
I don't think procrastination is a bad thing.
Not sure, but those theories about procrastination probably come from the business world and those measurements of productivity and efficiency with the aim to line humans with robots. IMHO, such things are not applicable to humans.
Humans are not machines. Humans cannot be consistent.
If someone "procrastinates", I would rather ask a question "why are you not motivated to do the things you are supposed to do" than make a conclusion that someone procrastinates considering it bad.

Serbian vs English
Serbian is my mother tongue.
Some people except I speak it perfectly, but that's not true. If I want to publish something in Serbian I would pay a proofreader to correct my mistakes.
My English is OK (I can work in English, watch movies in English (I prefer watching them with English subtitles), listen to music in English, ...), but it can be much better and I would like to improve it. That's why I am writing here!
One of my biggest struggles when speaking English is a bias (or whatever it is in my brain) pushing me to translate from Serbian to English. It doesn't work.
Sentence construction
- There are rules in Serbian about sentence construction, but they're much less important than in English. In English, in most cases, the meaning of the sentence depends on the word order. In Serbian, the order of the words in a sentence can influence the meaning, but in most cases, it doesn't matter, or at least it matters less often than in English.
Swearing
You guys, English speakers, have your swear words that I can use, but when I am deeply pissed off I cannot find a way to express myself well as I can in Serbian! I think we have a reacher swearing vocabulary.
Idioms
There are idioms in Serbian that have their meaning and they're not translatable literally. I am not sure where to find equivalents for those idioms. If I can use more idioms in English it will make my English better and richer, closer to native (at least I think it will). If you know websites where I can find English idioms please share them with me. Thank you in advance!
To be continued ...

Swimming
I'm not good at swimming very much. In Japan, there are swimming classes in school and swimming is popular. However, I wasn't taught how to swim in detail, so I couldn't swim with breathing in elementary school. Afterward, my junior high school had a tradition that the seventh-grader students swam for long distances in the sea over four days. In this training, I learned breaststroke putting my head out of the water. This method doesn't need breathing so it's perfect for me. Besides, we wore Japanese traditional underwear, fundoshi. The underwear didn't cover my thigh so it was easy to swim.

La disparition inquiétante
Une fille de huit ans est retrouvée, allongée sur l’herbe d’un parc.
La fille avait disparu plusieurs jours plus tôt. Sa famille l’a cherché partout, mais elle l’a jamais trouvée. Elle a donc appelé la police pour mener une enquête minutieuse.
Ce n’était pas la première fois que cela a arrivé. Les parents de la fille étaient trop exigeants avec lui. Quand elle était plus jeune, elle avait l’habitude de d’enfuyer chez sa grand-mère pendant quelques jours. Pourtant, cette fois c’était différente: personne ne savait pas où était-elle.
Heureusement, elle a été trouvé dans un parc lorsqu’elle était en train de regarder le ciel. Elle a quitté sa maison pour s’aventurer dans le monde.

Gibberish
I've never thought I've graduated from my college(=secondary school here) for ten years. All these years I've always dreamed about my school life. To be honest I'm not even sure if I regretted my own performance in public exam, or simply reminisced about the old days. Wearing yellowish school uniform and keeping the books on my hands, I simply lost the thread of my thoughts, just wandering around the school. It still stands out in my mind that during the day i was such an ardent student devouring books inside out. To the others, I was kind of a freak or a nerd. To me, perhaps I was just a normal kid you meet in your everyday life. Back in the day times were not always tough I still had spare time to fritter away, but ten years later, how much can I waste? I can't help reflecting on what I did there. But reflect doesn't help at all, stuck in the past won't do anything but just keep you being suck down the rabbit hole. I need to move on, I need to get a new lease of life.
