Journal 12/1/20

This afternoon when I was at my office, I heard a touching story from a Tik Toker. His names are Ben and Ernie. He said when he was a teenager, his grandma’s health was not in good condition. The doctor suggested that she should do some exercises regularly. His mom lets him take a walk with his grandma every day. His grandma often told him some interesting things about life lessons, and often asked him “how was your day” He said he was very reluctant to walk with his grandma every day, and he was always answering his grandma with “good” or “same as always”. He wanted to hang out with people at his age, and he was afraid that his friends would laugh at him because he was always hanging out with his grandma. This kind of situation changed when he went to college. One day in the first semester, his mother called me and told him that his grandma had passed away in her sleep. He was shocked when he heard this unexpected information, and he immediately headed home. At that moment, he cried and he started to know the love from his grandma and he regretted his behavior when he was with his grandma. He said it was at that moment, he felt he was really missing his grandma and started to know how much his grandma loved him. He hopes people love their families when the families are alive.

Музыка

Всем привет! Сегодня я хотела поговорить немного о музыке, так как, я обычно перевожу видео на русском, чтобы пополнить словарный запас, но сегодня я решила переводить песню, что слушаю в течение года. Знаю её значение, но хотела учить слова, что не знала.

Я обычно слушаю много к-поп, специально БлэкПинк, но предпочитаю слушать рок или металлическую музыку.

Как обычно слушаю музыку на английском, а иногда тоже слушаю песни на русском. Считаю, что русский - это язык, который хорошо звучит в музыке.

В последнее время, слушаю группу IC3PEAK. Мне очень нравится их эстетика в их видео и текст песнь.

Competition or cooperation

Some people argue that the best way to prepare for life is to learn how to cooperate, while others believe that competition is the best way. To some extent, I agree with the former view, but I think that the latter view can also be justified.
 
On the one hand, collaboration is one of the basic skills for entering into society. Working together plays a crucial role in people’s lives, as all individuals are gregarious animals, so that almost everything in society requires teamwork. Construction industry, for example, one person can not build a skyscraper, the establishment of high buildings needs the cooperation of workers like plumbers, iron men and supervisors. For this reason, teamwork is of great significance in every walk of life.
 
On the other hand, competition serves as a stimulant for people to make progress. The desire to be the top one for citizens is a pillar to move forward not only for themselves, but also for society as a whole. For instance, in the workplace, in order to get promotion, staff may try harder to perform well to stand out from the crowd. If every staff thinks so, the holistic productivity of company will be enhanced, which in turn makes a contribution to overall economic growth in their country. In this way, it is beneficial for the development of human civilization.
 
In conclusion, I think that both cooperation and competition are of importance, with the role of basic skills and the motivation they played.

CDs

I think CDs are going to disappear in 10 years. Now, music streaming services are mainstream for listening to music. Just a while ago, It had been CDs, and CDs replaced cassette tapes. Furthermore, cassette tapes had replaced records. It is more convenient to use streaming services than to use CDs, so CDs will be like records. Some people will enjoy CDs as a hobby.
I came up with this topic when I tried to English listening exam but I couldn't find a CD of the problems and couldn't do it.

文法の復習

イタリアの政府は様々な対策を取っているものの、コロナウイルスがなかなか食い止められない。
田舎の生活がかなり便利になってきたとはいうものの、都市の過密化は進んでいる。

コロナウイルスは感染者との接触を通じて流行する。
ビザの申し込みは大使館を通して受け入れる。

病気が治ったら、いかに体調を崩していたかが分かった。
母親は豆腐がいかに栄養になるかをいつも繰り返す。

お寿司まで作られるとは、料理が上手なものだ。
沖縄を訪れたら、手つかずの美しさを実感したものだ。

12/2

学校で授業中ものすごくイライラしていた。今日は日本語能力試験のために勉強していたけど、先生のやってることが全然意味がわからなかった。
みんなが聴解の部分でかなりいい点を取ったのに、40分をかけて間違ったところをもう一回させるというのは本当に何も役に立たないと思ってた。だって、同じところをリポートしてるから、聞き取りやすくなるのは当たり前じゃない?
そもそも、模擬試験の一番弱かった部分、語彙と文法に、もっと時間をかけた方が私たちの役に立てたのかな

その先生は今日一人で、来日したばかりなのにたくさんクレームを言ってきそうな学生を対応しないといけなかったから、可哀想だなと思ったけど、いつもこんな感じだから、あの先生。ちゃんとした授業をやってほしいのになあ。。

眠すぎるから寝ない

人間の身体は色々な問題があると思わなきゃ。喉笛は食道に近いから、食べる時に時々食べ物は違う場所に入る、喉笛を詰まらせる。そして、歯は他の物と違う、自分で直せない。でも、私にとって一番面倒くさいな問題は本当に眠い時にいつも寝られない。眠すぎる時に、私の頭は痛い。痛くて、痛くて、その痛みで眠れない。それが不合理じゃない。痛みの原因は私が寝なかった。もし痛みをやめたいなら、寝るしかない。それにしても、その痛みがあるからこそちゃんと寝ない。もし体は私に「寝る」と教えたいなら、もっと優しい方法を使う方がいいと思う。

日本語日記 12月1日

今日は「聲の形」の第6巻を読んだ。このシリーズの一番好きな巻だと思う。それぞれの話は違う脇役を突き詰める。皆の苛めっ子の主人公についての意見や考え方は興味深いと思う。それから少し「人間失格」を読んだ。主人公は女嫌いで、本当に変わった。僅か興味があるけど、日本語の原典は多分英語よりいいと思う。複数の句はなんか変だから、翻訳の難しさがある可能性は高いと思う。来年「斜陽」の後、日本語に読みたい。

L'ARRIVÉE

La porte était ouverte et je regardais ce rouge désert, celui qui est apparu dans mes rêves pendant les 8 mois passés. Je suis descendue du vaisseau et l'environnement y semblait plus légère malgré les chaussures martiennes antigravité. On ressentait la lumière du soleil plus près de la peau, même que sa chaleur, ceux qui disparaîtront tôt ou tard. J'ai chargé la voiture d'exploration avec toutes les choses essentielles pour ma mission et nous sommes partis.

Je suis en train de lire les livres de Harry Potter

Parmi ceux qui apprennent les langues, on recommande souvent "Le Petit Prince" et aussi la saga de Harry Potter. C'est parce que ces livres ont été traduits en beaucoup de langues ; en fait, Le Petit Prince est le livre qui a le plus de traductions, hormis la Bible, bien sûr. J'adore Le Petit Prince. C'est un livre que je garde dans mon cœur, car ma mère me le lisait quand j'étais petit. Je l'ai déjà lu en français, donc j'ai dû trouver un autre livre pour continuer à pratiquer. J'ai choisi les livres Harry Potter pour les raisons dont j'ai déjà parlé. Ce sont des excellentes livres, et très faciles à comprendre malgré mon mauvais français.

Journal 12/2/20

I usually pick my ear by myself, but one day I decided to go to a professional ear nursing store to pick my ears. In our city, picking ears once costs 45 to 50 CN yuan at a professional ear nursing store. It is very expensive. If you do it in a civilian barber store, the least price will be low to 5 CN yuan. Since I picked my ear at that time, I often felt my ear itchy. This situation has lasted about two or three months or so, and has not turned out to be better, so I have to go to a hospital to check it out. The doctor asked me if I had my ears picked somewhere. When I said yes, he told me that it was the fungi that infected my ears and he told me not to have my ears picked anymore. He gave me a box of ointment to treat fungi. After about ten days of treatment, my ears were cured.

He pasado la mayoría de la noche leyendo. Quería intentar terminar mi libro esta noche, pero preferiría irme a dormir más temprano que lo habitual.

Sé que he escrito mucho sobre el sueño últimamente, pero de verdad creo que lo necesito. He estado más ansiosa y triste de lo normal y ha sido más difícil decidir qué escribir. Creo que una buena noche de sueño me ayudará. A pesar del frío, la esperanza de que el ejercicio me cansara un poco me motivó a ir a tenis.

Avoiding procrastination

In general, I consider myself a person who doesn't procrastinate a lot. The thing is that I haven't time to procrastinate (jeje)...
I think that the reason is that I tried to keep my motivation about work thinking that this is a very important activity, imagining the benefits in the future that could come if... (I just do this or that).
But, some tips that can serve are:
- Do and follow an agenda (in my case the google calendar is very useful).
- Use notes too. I use them to remember some task urgent or activities in a list.
- Trie to follow routines. Be strict with the hours, establish goals, follow some activities like the shower, dressing or breakfast before work and after that go to a space of working.
- Prepare the environment for the work. Use a specific place for that and put it nice.

I hope this tips would be useful for you!

The big changing

I had been living a simple and planned life everytime, had two children, had a boyfriend, a house, a work, little problems, but in one moment everything had changed I need to moved at other country.
I was thinkin, planning and taking the control When Covid came.
The big changing didin't be to move a other country, It was to understand that I don't have the total control of my life.
Now I study english everyday,make exercise on my livingroom, work from home and I see the sun from my window and I wait, wait for my fly.

Graduation: Change of Plans

Yesterday, the school's administration sent a message in which they told students that the protocol for graduations has changed. It turns out that I will be able to graduate with all of my classmates because the school is allowed to host event with more people than it was allowed before. I'm so happy I get to graduate with my best friends! Now I know that day will be special for sure. It wouldn't be the same without them.
However, I'm angry towards some of my classmates. A reduced group of people (about a half of my classmates) have been planning to hang out after the graduation. Their intentions are doing the planning themselves and then telling the rest of the class. But no one asked them to do it. They are excluding the people they don't like from the decision making. That's so wrong! Things like this have already divided us in the past, and makes me strongly dislike my classmates. I'm definitely not going to do what they suggest.
A friend of mine is in that group and it really bothers me. She hasn't told me or my best friend a thing because she knows it's wrong. She doesn't tell us so that we don't complain about it. We found out anyway, but we don't want to say anything to her to avoid conflict.

Journal 12/2/20

Last year, I bought a Gree brand air conditioner, and installed it in one of my houses. This air conditioner was bought online from the Gree flagship store. After a period of time using it, I found some problems with it. Firstly, no matter what temperature you set, it was always working all the time, and never stopped. Secondly, its heating or cooling effects are not good. You can be aware of this when you put your hands on the air outlet. Gree is the top air conditioner brand in China, and it is very popular in China too. It should account for 80 percent of the air conditioner shares. I am very puzzled about the performance of this air conditioner. Is the product quality of online and physical stores different? Or is it just that this one has quality problems? I don’t know. In a word, I am very dissatisfied with it.

Dos temas breves

¿Si escogieras vivir en cualquier lugar del mundo, dónde estaría?

Esta es una pregunta muy difícil. Me gusta viajar a diferentes lugares, entonces creo que si tuviera que elegir solo un lugar para siempre, escogería una ciudad con muchísima diversidad y que estuviera cerca de la naturaleza. Aunque la idea de una aldea tranquila está bien, suena una poca solitaria. Mientras no me gustaría vivir en una ciudad muy grande, creo que una ciudad pequeña sería mucho mejor.

Sé que este es un cambio en la entrada, pero para alguna razón no me gusta el tema. Es como el tema es bien para una conversación real, no creo que me da mucho para escribir. Creo que lo más difícil cuando escribes en un otro idioma es la habilidad de desafiarte. Al intentar escribir usando utilizado estructuras de palabras más difíciles quizá suene fácil, no es. Siempre intento hacerlo, pero creo que algunas estructuras solo se pueden encontrar en conversaciones o algo así. A veces tiene que ser natural, y no podemos crearlo a través de ejercicios gramaticales, o al menos que no lo podamos hacer correctamente. Al fin y al cabo, aunque esto es un problema durísimo, nos muestra la importancia de hablar con otros, especialmente si quieres tener fluidez en tu idioma objetivo.

住房政策

自從我搬到紐約,我書看的比較多了。疫情前,我每天有一個半鐘頭的通勤。其實我蠻喜歡這個通勤因為我坐在捷運上可以看書。這一年之內,我猜我看完了至少三十幾本書。這週末我看了一本書英文叫做 "Color of the Law.” 這本書是關於美國住房政策。我沒想到美國種族歧視是呢麼根深蒂度的。譬如說,就在五十年前,如果有一個黑人家庭想要買一座房子,美國政府和銀行不會給他們貸款。在美國,有了家就可以增加財富。在2019年,只有45%的黑人家庭有房產權,不如76%的白人家庭。我覺得要懂現在社會問題,要好好的學歷史和政策的影響。

mis vacaciones más recientes

Mis vacaciones más recientes fueron un viaje a Canberra, que es la capital de Australia. Fueron tres días y así fueron unas vacaciones mini. Y mi compañera de viaje fue mi madre. Nos quedamos en un hotel lujoso pero cuando estuvimos en Canberra no hicimos mucho. Fuimos a restaurantes y cafés, fuimos a museos y fuimos a cenar a la casa de mi hermano. Fueron unas vacaciones tranquila y relajada.

Je compte faire un master en France

Ces derniers temps, je pense souvent sur quelle place a-t-il le français dans ma vie et dans mon futur. Et j'ai décidé de faire mon master à Strasbourg ! C'est que j'ai parlé avec quelqu'un sur Discord qui a fait un programme là-bas sur l'apprentissage des langues et la technologie et j'ai eu un déclic ! Genre le plus gros déclic de ma vie mdr.
Le programme s'appelle Master 2 FIR (Formation, innovations, recherches). La première année se concentre sur comment enseigner une langue étrangère. Et la seconde année se concentre sur l'enseignement et l'apprentissage des langues à travers les médias et la technologie. Je veux faire ce master parce que je veux développer des applis et des programmes novateurs pour apprendre des langues. Ce serait chouette d'être embauchée par Duolingo ou Lingodeer et de devenir partie de leur équipe pour améliorer leurs contenu japonais/chinois, etc. ! Ou même développer ma propre application ou mon propre logiciel pour apprendre des langues. Je serais contente aussi de développer des programmes et des matériaux didactiques (manuels, activités, retraites) pour les écoles d'immersion ou même établir ma propre école d'immersion quelque part dans le monde. Je ne sais pas si mes rêves sont réalistes ou non, mais je vais tenter de les réaliser !
L'année prochaine, je veux passer le DALF C1 car c'est un des éléments requis pour envoyer ma candidature. Mon niveau est B2 maintenant, donc j'ai encore plein de travail à faire. De plus, je devrais économiser assez de sous pour le master et pour déménager en France. Mais je vais y arriver quoi qu'il arrive.
Je recherche du travail maintenant et je me sens un peu perdue. Je veux un travail qui aura à voir avec les langues et qui est bien payé, mais selon mes recherches jusqu'à maintenant, il y a un gros tas de travaux avec des langues qui ne sont pas bien payés du tout. J'ai essayé d'être traductrice et d'être prof/tutrice en ligne, mais il s'avère que ce n'est pas assez. Même si ce n'est pas ce que je veux faire, je pense que ma seule option serait devenir prof d'espagnol (car j'ai fait ma licence en espagnol et ils sont très demandés aux États-Unis) et peut-être devenir prof de français aussi quand j'aurais mon C1. Mais premièrement, je pense être assistant de prof d'espagnol pour voir moi-même quel type de travail cet emploi implique. Et pour le futur le plus proche, je dois trouver un type de boulot en ligne, je ne sais pas quoi encore.
Merci d'avoir lu jusqu'au bout et j'espère que tout va bien avec vos études ! Si vous connaissez quelque chose sur comment faire un master en France, je suis preneuse !

Penser en français

Ça fait longtemps que j'ai écrit quelque chose en français. En fait, je pense beaucoup en français au point où je dirais qu'à ce point-là mon cerveau est complètement bilingue en anglais et en français et c'est chouette ! Comment je suis arrivée à faire ça ? J'ai commencé par traduire toutes les pensées que je pense quelques fois par jour, par exemple Quelle heure est-il ? ou qu'est-ce que je vais manger ? Et quand je regarde des vidéos en français, j'essaye de réagir en français, genre C'est chouette ! ou C'est horrible ! Et aussi, je lis beaucoup de postes en français sur tumblr et je note des expressions utiles. Donc si tu veux commencer à penser en français, je recommande beaucoup d'immersion, genre lire des postes, regarder des vidéos, écouter des podcasts, etc. Et aussi je conseille que tu traduises tes réactions aux médias que tu consommes et toutes les pensées les plus communs tout au long de la journée. De plus, tu pourrais écrire dans un journal intime en français (je ne le fais plus car j'en ai déjà fait assez souvent et je n'ai pas du temps maintenant). Donc comme ça, toi aussi tu pourrais commencer à penser en français peu à peu.

私の町

今、私はロサンゼルスに住んでいる。高校の時にここで家族と引っ越した、4年ぐらいここで住んでいた。高校後で、大学に行って、そして北のカリフォルニアの小さい町に引っ越した。でも、今はロサンゼルスの家に引っ越しなくちゃいけなかった。

ロサンゼルスで色々なことがある。例えば、ハリウッドって聞いたことがあると思う。有名なハリウッドサインを見るのができる。スターと偶然会うの機会多分もある。

ロサンゼルスの中でじゃないけど、私の大好きな場所がサンタモニカです。サンタモニカはロサンゼルスにとても近くので、ロサンゼルスの一部として認識されていると思う。ここで綺麗な海がある。天気が良くて、風が涼しくて、いい感じだ。埠頭で海の綺麗な景色を楽しめるよう。埠頭で観覧車に行ったり、コースタに行ったりするのことが好きです。アイスも綿菓子も食べるを楽しめるよう。特に夏の時はとても楽しい!
