According to the Vietnamese news website YAN reported on January 14th, a 14-year-old Indian astrology “prodigy" recently released a major prediction: I am afraid there will be a bigger disaster in February, 2021.
The boy’s name is Anand, and a special sign is painted in the middle of his eyebrows. As early as August, 2019, Anand claimed that through astrology, it was predicted that human beings would encounter major disasters in November. This disaster will reach its peak in March and April, 2020.
At the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out quietly. Some people think that Anand’s prediction is too accurate, and some people even began to worship Anand as a deity. Since then, Anand has become famous. In July last year, he predicted that there would be problems with the vaccine in COVID-19.
In November last year, Anand posted a video on his social account, saying that from November 20 to 29, Jupiter will enter Capricorn to combine with Saturn, which means there will be a crisis. From December 19 to 29, Saturn will combine with Jupiter again, which is really a sign of “great evil”.
Coincidentally, at the end of December last year, the British health department reported to WHO that it had discovered the mutated SARS-CoV-2 and admitted that the virus was out of control within the country. Therefore, many people who believe in Anand believe that he is really a “child prodigy”.

Dicht für die USA
kochender, explosiver, ausbrechender Vulkan
bröckelig, zerfallen, brüchiger Riese
grundlos
zittert alle
als er implodiert
ich hoffe, dass alles sich bald ändert. Diese letzte Tage habe ich mich so traurig, müde, geärgert und nervös gefühlt. Ich kann kaum glauben, was in meinem Heimatland fand statt. Es ist mir einfach unglaublich, und jetzt habe ich erstmal die Frage von Bürgerkrieg gehört. Das hatte ich nie vorher erwartet, in meinem Leben zu mindestens. Vorher habe ich nicht gewusst, dass ich fühle mich mit den USA verbindet, obwohl ich nicht mehr da wohnen werde und ich will nicht mehr da sein. Es ist als wäre, etwas schreckliches einem gemeinen, beleidigenden Familienmitglieder passiert. Aber in diesem Fall werden seine Taten uns alle beeinflussen.

What is the main staple food of Spain?
In Spain the main staple food is paella. There are different kinds of this dish but my favourite is made with seafood. The main ingredients are rice, lemon, peas, chicken, prawns, clams, mussels and squids.
The best place to eat this staple food is Valencia. I highly recommend you to eat seafood paella in a bar, near the coast. It will be an experience that you won't forget ever.

Job étudiant
Pour des raisons économiques, de nombreux étudiants sont contraints chaque année de concilier leurs études avec un “job étudiant”. Cela est-il ou a-t-il été le cas pour vous? Pensez-vous qu’il est possible de travailler et d’étudier en même temps sans qu’une activité nuise à l’autre? Conseillez-vous toutefois à un(e) futur(e) étudiant(e) de chercher un petit “job”, de travailler pendant ses études?
Ma chère Pauline,
Merci beaucoup pour ta dernière lettre qui m’a fait bien plaisir. Je vais tenter de répondre à tes questions et de te donner quelques conseils. Je sais que tu rencontres quelques problèmes financiers et tu veux trouver un “job étudiant” afin d’aider tes parents à payer tes études. Selon moi, il s’agit d’une bonne idée mais tu devrais également prendre garde quelques inconvénients qu’apportent ce pratique.
Tout d’abord, il est indéniable qu’avoir un job a l’avantage d’être vraiment une expérience enrichissante pour toi. En effet, lors de ton travail, tu pourrais faire face à de nombreux problèmes et obstacles que tu n’a jamais rencontré auparavant. Cela t’aide à acquérir de nouvelles connaissances ainsi qu’à être dynamique. Comme moi, maintenant, je suis en train d’être une serveuse d’un restaurant francais. Grâce à cela, je deviens plus confiante en confrontant des situations difficiles et j’améliore aussi mon apprentissage du francais d’une manière efficace à travers des conversations avec des clients étrangers.
De plus, cela constitue une bonne chance pour élargir naturellement ta relation sociale. Autrement dit, rencontrer de nouvelles amis, apprendre et échanger les expériences avec les seniors, etc tout cela te permet de favoriser non seulement ta relation mais aussi ta communication sans recours à des applications de rencontre pour se faire des amis.
Pourtant, il ne faudrait pas consacrer beaucoup de temps à ces travaux. Tu devrais te rappeler que ta mission principale et cruciale est d’étudier à l’université. En fait, quelques étudiants ont du mal à concilier leurs études et leur travail en même temps parce qu’ils travaillent trop, cela provoque de mauvais résultats ainsi que de mauvaise santé. Il me semble qu’étudier au collège est plus important que travailler pour un étudiant parce que cela nous permet d’accéder facilement au monde du travail où on peut trouver un emploi stable avec un bon salaire.

Daily Diary: some struggles and balderdash
I always have some thoughts in my mind but seldom to do them and make them realize. Just like settlling down the diary this time. Finally I decide to do it. I even don't exactly know how to spell 'diary', and I first spell it into dairy. But through this way I've learned a new word, it's not bad, right?
To make my helpers know what contents this diary mainly about, I 've learned other word 'balderdash'. Although I don't whether it is suitable for my title.
During this time, I seem to be stuck in a situation that I can not persuade me to accept myself. I always tell me that focusing on right now and your own life. Do not pay attention to others. But sometimes I just can not control myself, and I will record something I'm jealous of. I know that's not right and I also want to change. However, some things seem to be magic and I think I can not get rid of them. To fight with something bad in mankind's nature and overcome it, that maybe what we different from animals.

Voyager.
J'ai voyagé par tout le monde, je connais de nombreux pays, des endroits merveilleux. D'habitude on pense que la beauté est toujours loin de nous.
Par contre, je crois que le plus belle endroit que j'ai connue se trouve ici, près de moi.
Je me souviens d' un voyage que j'ai fait quand j'étais petite, á la Ville Enchantée.
Je croyais être dans un autre monde, sur une autre planète, tout pleine de pierres aux formes extraordinaires.
Alors, c'est peut être, que si je l'avais connue de plus grande, je n'aurait pas été aussi impressionnée.
Je courrais sur la route en attendant qu'un dinosaure apparaisse.
J'ai visité le parc un jour d'hiver en semaine, il y avait peu de monde, ce qui a contribué à faire de cet endroit un rêve pour un enfant des années soixante.

There is no perfect app – and you will not create it either
Maybe you know that feeling: You have a recurring problem that you need some help with. Say, you want to plan and track your personal goals. If you're like me, you go to Google and type in the search term "goal app" and check out the first few results. You might also ask round your friends and get some recommendations from them. You download a few of the recommended apps and have a bash at them just to find out quickly that each only solves a fraction of your problems. Frustrated, you decide that you don't want to put up with the shortcomings of all apps. And if you're a programmer like me, you might also have a propensity to say: "Ah, I can create the perfect app for that problem" and start jotting down the features you want that app to have. Months of work later you're still struggling with some basic programming problems, and you did not work on your goals - your original problem - at all.

An Examination
This weekend, there was a big exam: The Common Test for University Admissions. This test is used for university admissions, and most candidates should take this one because all public universities need this test score. Candidates also take an exam of their university as their second test, which is held in February or March, but both are important. Usually, candidates study past exam questions and prepare for a test. Starting this year, however, this test's trend has been changed, so they couldn't do so. It was a poor thing.
Besides, In Japan, you can enter a university even if you failed the entrance exam last year. If high school students fail a test, some of them choose to study for one year and try again. They are called Ronin, which word means a samurai who doesn't have his master and lead a vagabond life. Ronin's life is filled with studying, so it's hard and under pressure.

Arte
Hoy fui a una exhibición muy interesante sobre Van Gogh. Antes de ir al museo, solo conocía algunas obras: la noche de estrellas, su cuarto, unos autorretratos y los girasoles. Hoy vi por primera vez sus paisajes y La Viña Roja. Mientras me enfoqué en la textura de la pintura y los colores, me di cuenta de que no he dibujado en mucho tiempo. Puede ser pereza, o tal vez las páginas blancas son abrumadoras.

Paraphrasing activity
Original
The young of ground-nesting warblers produce begging cheeps of higher frequencies than do their tree-nesting relatives. These higher-frequency sounds do not travel as far, and so may better conceal the individuals producing them, who are especially vulnerable to predators in their ground nests.
Paraphrase-1
Even though the offsprings of ground-nesting warblers produce high-frequency begging cheeps, they are less likely to be encountered by a predator as the sound do not travel much.
Paraphrase-2
Although ground nestling young warblers generate a higher frequency of begging cheeps than tree nesting birds, they stay safe since the sounds travel little. Therefore, predators unable to recognize the sounds of ground-nesting warblers.

Because if you play for hours, how are you supposed to concentrate on your stuff? How are you supposed to concentrate on your quizzes? How are you gonna have a good future/college? How are you going to end up working to earn money?

According to the data, although the satisfaction rate of the “simulation robots” is as high as 98%, the penetration rate has not been high and the specific reasons are also very realistic.
First, the price of the robots is too high! According to the author’s understanding, an ordinary version of intelligent robots can be as high as 100,000 yuan, while the customized version of the simulation robots is as high as several hundred thousand yuan, so the simulation robots are also called “the poor can’t afford it, the rich don’t need it” series!
Second, robots are “artifacts" after all! Although the simulation robots are very functional, it is a product of science and technology after all. No one can replace a real person, and it can’t “have children”, even higher than an ordinary bride's price, so many small partners can only stop looking.
So, in the face of such highly intelligent Japanese “simulation robots”, will everyone be excited? Welcome to talk about your opinion!

1984 (parte 1)
Hoy empezó a leer el libro "1984". Fue escrito por George Orwell hace mucho tiempo. Lo que me interesaba más es el idioma, que se lo llama "Newspeak". Ya lo he leído en el libro "En el mundo de los idiomas inventados". De verdad, opino que es una idea loca. Lo basó de ideas comunes a la vez. Sin embargo, estas ideas comunes no eran correctas, y lo saben los científicos. La idea principal era que el idioma en lo cual hablamos controla nuestros pensamientos. ¿Suena un poco familiar? Tenía una pequeña influencia en la teoría Sapir-Worf.
Así que Newspeak se creó para demostrar cómo nos pueden afectar nuestros idiomas. En la historia, la gente del país en que el personaje principal vive (no puedo recordar el nombre) no puede pensar en pensamientos originales fácilmente. Este fenómeno tiene que ver con el idioma, ya que no tiene las palabras necesarias para expresarlos.
Dos oraciones con "tocar + infinitivo".
1. Te toca ir al banco para depositar el dinero.
2. Le toca firmar el contrato. ¿Está listo?
