Translation Practice
Just clicked on your phone, the things you want to buy can be delivered to your home, which was beyond your imagination in the past. With rapid development of the internet and mobile payment, these things become reality, and ordinary people’s lives are becoming more and more convenient.
In addition to buying clothes, daily necessities and some strange things, even hot pot, barbecue, Mala Tang can also be delivered directly. For those people who worked in the first- and second-tier cities, fast-paced lives make them save time by ordering takeout. Under the huge market demand, the take-out army is growing rapidly.
Nowadays, the take-out industry is almost “contracted” by Elema and Meituan groups. The takeout brothers in blue or yellow coats can be seen everywhere on the streets and most of them are between 25 to 35 years old. More and more young people have given up bored factory jobs and become takeout workers. There are two main reasons for this phenomenon: low threshold and high wages.
As long as you are in good health and have no criminal records, you can go to work by riding a battery bicycle. The level of salary depends entirely on your personal effort. In first-tier cities, there are plenty of people with monthly salaries of more than 10,000 yuan. Generally speaking, there are thousands, but the work intensity is very high, which is more than 10 hours or even longer.
Although the take-out industry is so hot, the Meituan group has lost thousands of billions.

Minimal structure every meeting should have
Meetings are omnipresent, and they are often a waste of time. Why? Because they often lack structure and have no clear goal. It is easy to invite people to a meeting and giving it a headline like "Strategy" and everyone can have an own understanding of what that could mean. It is also luring because just setting up a meeting can give you the feeling that you are doing something, to solve a problem. And, strangely enough, many people will just accept your calendar invitation and share your feeling that you are working on an issue together. After an hour of meeting you discussed a lot and get the impression that you made huge progress only to ask yourself the next day how to proceed with the strategy and who does what. It will take you a lot of effort to connect the dots and make sense out of your messy meeting notes that you took.
If you invest time in planning a meeting and energy in facilitating it, you can save lots of people lots of time. There is a template called IDOARRT, which stands for "Intention, Desired Outcome, Agenda, Roles, Rules and Time", which is the gold standard of preparing meetings. This however requires a significant amount of time to prepare and a strong will to enforce rules and roles, especially when you work with the same people over and over (such as in a software team). A minimal version that requires less preparation, is less formal and also considers that you always do detours from the main topic could look as follows:
- Why do we meet?
- What is the desired result (decisions, action points)?
- Which topics do we need to talk about (ordered by descending priority)?
- What else did we briefly talk about? (aka the parking lot)? (you will fill this during the meeting and stop off-topic discussions with: "I put it in the parking lot, so we will not forget. Let us get back to the point!")

die Amtseinführung!
Morgen ist Bidens Amtseinführung. Am 6, Januar wurde das Capitol von Trumps Anhänger angegriffen. Viele glaubte, dass es ein Angriff auf Demokratie sei. Ich denke, morgen wird in den USA eine ruhige Tag sein und die Amtseinführung wird in einer friedlichen Atmosphäre stattfinden.

Las nuevas palabras del día
Hola a todos. Ahora mi manera número uno de obtener nuevas palabras es por mirar series de televisión o películas con mis amigos en Discord. Pienso que es una buena manera de aprender porque es posible de ver como los nativos usan el idioma y tengo la oportunidad de aprender algunas frases que normalmente son muy díficiles de traducir de inglés. Por ejemplo, por mirar la series que se llama La Casa De Papel, aprender muchas maneras de decir vulgaridades en una manera nativa. Por mirar otras series he aprendido frases como, "¿Me tomas el pelo?", "Cuente conmigo", "Me siento del nabo" y muchas más.
El idioma vive, vive con ello.

Mi primera entrada en LangCorrect
Hola a todos, soy Mario y esa es mi primera entrada en LangCorrect.
Estoy examinando el sitio web para ver si es mejor que Lang8 que yo estaba usando antes. Seguramente, hay muchas diferencias pero pienso que es tan temprano juzgar que es el mejor.
Espero que ustedes vayan a ayudarme con mi aprendizaje de los idiomas. Yo estoy disponible para ayudar todas las personas que se requieren la ayuda.
Un saludo!

16. Sömn
I går lärde jag mig om sömn genom en film att min SAS lärare skickade till mig för hemläxa. Jag är ganska intresserad i sömn och sovmönster så det var väldigt intressant. På morgonen vaknade jag klockan 7.55, några minuter före mitt alarm. Jag kände mig väl-utvilad och jag ville veta mer om sömn. Så öppnade jag en webbsidan om sömn och läste den liksom forskningar och studier om det temat. Jag lärde mig om sömncykler och hur det är viktigt att vakna i slutet av en sömncykel. Om man vaknar under en sömncykel, så att sömncykeln är inte slut, då är det svårare att kroppen och hjärnan vaknar. En sömncykel varar i ungefär en timme och trettio minuter. Vi har i allmänhet mellan fyra och sex sömncykeln om natten (sju om man är ett barn). För att vakna och känna sig väl-utvilad är det viktigt att ta hänsyn till hur många timmar vill vi sova och då numret av sömncyklar som vi vill ha. Till exempel, om jag vill vakna klockan 8 och sova nio timmar (6 sömncyklar) måste jag sova klockan 22.30. Jag måste också lägga till tjugo extra minuter ; det är tiden att man brukar behöva för att falla i sömn.
Vad som helst, det är jätteintressant!

Preparación para el DELE
En treinta días voy a ir a Nueva York para tomar el DELE. Como quiero obtener un máster de traducción e interpretación, tengo que tener una acreditación del nivel C1. Cuando llegué a España hace un año, recibí el nivel B2.2. Realmente es un buen nivel, pero no sirve para solicitar la entrada a un programa de traducción. Entonces ahora tengo que prepararme para este examen. Lo bueno es que hay muchas guías en el internet con las que puede practicar, pero también he contratado a una preparadora del DELE. Ella me va a enseñar todos los secretos del examen para que pueda aprobar el examen. Lo malo es que el examen me costó mucha plata y si no lo apruebo, va a ser una pérdida verdadera.

Die Freundschaft
Hello! This text is for my German class.
Can you help me with it?
Thanks!
Die Freundschaft ist eine sehr wichtige Sache für mich. Ein Freund ist wie die Geschwister, weil du ihm deine Geheimnisse vertrauen kannst und in guten und schlechten Zeiten zusammen teilen. Es ist nicht über die Vielzahl, sondern die Qualität. Heutzutage nennen wir jemanden „Freund“. Ich glaube, dass es verschiedenen Arten von Freunden gibt. Es gibt die Bekannter, mit denen wir sporadisch zu tun haben. Dann haben wir die Kollegen von der Arbeit oder vom Studium, die wir häufiger sehen, aber innerhalb eines konkreten Raums. Am Ende sind die wichtigen Freunden, diese Menschen mit uns gewöhnlich sprechen über unseres Lebens. Sie stehen bei uns nähe.
Wie können wir eine Freundschaft von ein Bekanntschaft unterscheiden? Es ist nicht einfach. Ich denke, man treffen und sprechen häufiger mit Freunden als mit Bekannter, aber gibt es einiger Freundschaften, der für verschiedenen Situationen (die Arbeit, die Ferne, die Familie) es kann nicht einen regeln Kommunikation halten, obwohl die Zuneigung gleich ist. Der Unterschied zwischen den beiden ist, dass in den schwierigen Zeiten nur ein wahrhafter Freund bei uns bleibt. Sie sind im Schmerzen, in der Angst und im Schwierigkeit Zeiten und natürlich vor dem Glücke Zeiten.
Zurzeit bedenke ich, dass zwei beste Freunden habe. Sie heißen Raquel und Álvaro. Sie ist aus Madrid und er ist aus León. Ich kenne Raquel seit vier Jahren. Sie war eine meiner ersten Freundinnen in der Stadt, als ich um Madrid zog. Álvaro kenne ich seit weniger Zeit. Er war mit Raquel befreundet und ihr hat uns in einen Kurs vorgestellt. Wir sind seitdem wie Geschwister.
Wir wissen nicht der Wendungen des Lebens, aber ich wirklich hoffe diese Freundschaft bis zum letzten Moment erhalten.
Die letzte Frage ist ein bisschen pessimistisch... Ob ich einen Umstand für uns nicht mehr zu sprechen denke, es kann ich mir nicht einbilden. Wir haben viele Sachen zusammen durchgelebt und wir haben alles überwunden.

Was für einen Tag!
Um sechs Uhr morgen habe ich etwas sehr geräuschvoll gehört. Es kommt von draußen, neben meinem Schlafzimmerfenster. Ich habe das geöffnet, um zu sehen, was das Lärm gemacht hat, und habe eine Katze gefunden. Die zitterliche Katze hat mich kürzlich angesehen, dann ist sie schnell weg geflinkt. Und zwei Stunden früher als ich normalerweise aufstehe! Jeztz bin ich zu müde um etwas zu tun...

Degooglizzazione
Molto spesso mi chiedo cosa succederà nel futuro, specialmente dentro di 10 anni. Cosa cambiarà, cosa sucederà. Ad esempio, ci sono tantissime persone che parlano di una Degoogling o Degooglizzazione della nostra vita, cioè, rinunciare a qualsiasi prodotto da Google, la ragione è semplice, privacy anzitutto e poi una questione eminentemente economica. Google è un Mastodonte nella web e un monopolio che impedisce altri attore di partecipare nel web business. Ma, ci sono altre ragione per qualsiasi persona lasciare google, ragione geopolitica. Tutti i metadati che condividiamo (consapevole oppure inconsapevolmente) sono utilizzati per aziende statunitense e allora tutti sanno che Il imperio è in rischio, non riesco a capire cosa potrei succedere con tutte i miei dati si quelle aziende sono andate in bancarotta.
Non tutto è perduto. Allora, ci sono alternative. Ho trovato piccole aziende che fanno guerra contro google, ad esempio duckduckgo oppure protonmail, ho cominciato a usare quegli servizi, ma ci sono tante oltre. Quando uso gli prodotti americani mi sento come in una gabbia dorata. E complicato uscire ma, non impossibile, adesso mi sento come David combattendo contra Goliath. So che non sto solo, so che ci sono tantissime persone che fanno lo stesso, credo che nella seguente decada saremmo più.

Lust Teil 2
Heute habe ich mit einem Freund über die Ängste und die Zweifel gesprochen, die ich seit ein paar Wochen habe. Wie ich in meinem gestrigen Beitrag geschrieben habe, man muss niemals Produktivität mit Zufriedenheit gleichsetzen und das mache ich leider zu oft.
Ich hatte niemals gedacht, dass ich meinem derzeitigen Job haben konnte - es ist in zweifellos mein Traumberuf und daher bin ich auch gestresst, wenn ich fühle, dass ich meine Arbeit verloren könnte. Leider habe ich nur einen befristeten Arbeitsvertrag und in diesem Jahr werde ich wissen, ob ich eine Verlängerung des Vertrages bekommen werde. Das scheint der Fall zu sein, da ich ein gutes Mitarbeitergespräch letztes Jahr hatte aber nichts ist 100 Prozent sicher.
Es ist immer vernünftig, ein Plan B zu haben.

Book review.
How would you feel if you wake up in the middle of an ocean surrounded by nothing, confused you are and scared while trying to look for land nearby or clear direction towards your salvation, suddenly the weather gets denser, and you start losing hope and wishing to miraculously get out from this nightmare, feeling overwhelmed by the prospect that you can't swim anymore or do anything because you don't know where to begin from and to which direction to aim.
Well, that is what usually most of the twentysomething (as Jay call them) feel after they finish school and start integrating with society, and unfortunately, schools don't prepare us with that, in schools and universities twentysomething has a clear vision of what they ought to do and what not to do, everything is predictable, getting As and doing your homework will grant you success in that stage, however, after graduation and the end of the grading system live begins to become aimless and at a loose end, that leads twentysomething Living without perspective in their twenties followed by tears shed when they reach thirties and forties because they are now paying a steep price professionally, romantically, economically, reproductively for a lack of vision in their twenties. Plus, our culture promotes the idea that, well, your twenties are extended adolescence where you goof around and have fun, leave adult responsibilities for later you still young. where that might be true in some way but they dismiss the fact that this decade is the foundation that defines our identity in the coming years and the time when the experiences that we have disproportionately influence the adult lives we will lead. Jay argues in her book that the twenties are real-time and ought to be lived that way and that twenties are the critical period of adulthood, and her presumption is based on her clinical practice as a clinical psychologist where she dealt with twentysomething patients. So, what should we do with our twenties you may ask? Well, there are certain points where you have to focus on, jay's argued, first one is your identity capital, identity capital as jay defines it and I quote " ... Is (identity capital) our collection of personal assets. It is the repertoire of individual resources that we assemble over time. These are the investments in ourselves...." end quote, and she categorized our identity capital into two sects, the one that goes on a resume such as degrees, jobs, etc, and the personal dimensions of identity capital which influences the way we speak, how we solve problems, etc. And to her identity capital is a baby step toward self-actualization and it is what we bring to the adult marketplace, it is the currency we use to purchase jobs and relationships... And that will result in getting a clearer sense about ourselves, greater life satisfaction, better stress management, strong reasoning, and resistance to conformity. But how to do it? to build your identity capital you have to explore the world and also equip yourself with true commitments which twentysomething apparently lack, get yourself into challenging situations, where you get something new out of that experience. meet new people, research in sociology shows that similarity breeds connection, and, people are more likely to form close relationships with those most like them, as a result, we have as jay referred to them in her book a homogeneous cliques. It feels comfortable to have a supporting people behind your Back, and that is one the prons of the homogeneous clique however there are some drawbacks to it too, and the obvious one is that they share similar minerality and assumptions which clinging to it might limit your overall improvement as a person and conceptualization of the world. on the other hand, getting with people that you don't necessarily share a common ground with forces us to communicate from a place of difference and that jay referred to as elaborated speech. Which doesn't presume that the listener is well-grounded with your beliefs and has the same information you have. And as a result, a form of communication will be forced that tend to be more organized and articulated by those who engaged in it, which give us access to something fresh and new and that what Jay called the strength of weak ties.
Our urge to grow towards our potential leaves us in a problematic situation known as the search for glory and the tyranny of the should. Which emerges from the confusion about what exactly growing toward out potential means.
Well, Jay affirms that to solve this obstacle twentysomethings have to realize their potential and gifts while acknowledging their limitations so they neither dream too big nor dream too small but have a dream that fits with the world around us which leads us toward realizing our authentic potential.
A search of glory is more like looking for an ideal rather than a goal to commit to. And that might manifest itself in the form of cultural press, where for example the culture press you to be an engineer as a form of an ideal state before you find your authentic self, any search of glory is propelled by the tyranny of the should. Work should be wow, I should go to graduate school, should masquerade as the paralyzing judgements from the outside and the oppressive obligations where goals direct us from the inside and are the manifestation of authentic dreams as Jay argue.
Reaching our potential is not an overnight process nor it is something that usually happens in our twenties, but, our twenties are the pathway towards our authentic self and getting things done correctly in this stage will, in the end, establish a meaningful life.

Amboíno
Amboíno é uma ilha em Indonésia. Faz parte das Ilhas Maluku, o archipélago mais maluco do mundo!
Por causa de seus recursos naturais e sua história de comércio com os portugueses e holandeses, Amboíno tem uma população mas grande que Seram, a mais grande ilha vizinha. Uma vez foi uma chave pelas ilhas Banda, mas hoje não é uma ilha de grande valor estratégico.

Le 18 janvier - Ma madelaine de Proust
Quand j'étais petit, j'ai habité dans un petit village proche des frontières de la Russie, l'Ukraine et la Biélorussie. D'ailleurs, pendent mon enfance j'ai entendu parler trois langues au même temps : le russe, le biélorusse et l'ukrainien. Ayant une racine commune, ce sont les langues assez proches. Ça facilite la compréhension mais ça rend difficile la distinction entre eux. J'ai pu dire 2 mots en russe, finir par un mot ukrainien et conjuguer tout ça selon la grammaire biélorusse. Au bout d'un moment, j'ai déménagé à Moscou et j'ai appris le propre russe. Au même temps, sans avoir pratiqué le patois, j'ai oublié le parler mais je comprends toujours les trois langues. Après toutes les années dehors ma ville natale, je me suis rendu compte récemment, que l'ukrainien et le biélorusse sont devenu mes madelaine de Proust. Chaque fois j'entends ces langues, je me sens nostalgique. Ça me fait penser à des bons moments que j'ai vécus quand j'étais petit.

Eine E-Mail an den Freund
(Eine Aufgabe aus dem Unterrichtsbuch. Alles frei erfunden.)
Liebe Mark,
es geht mir super, danke. Die Reise nach Hause war sehr ruhig und bequem.
Wenn du ankommst, gehen wir bestimmt viel spazieren. Ich zeige dir meine Lieblingsparks und die Flüsse rund um unsere Stadt. Oder die Architektur im Zentrum, wenn du mehr Lust dazu hast. In Parks kannst du auch joggen (das aber ohne mich, ich hasse rennen), oder wir können gemeinsam Qigong zu Hause machen. Mit Restaurants kenne ich mich, ehrlich gesagt nicht so gut aus. Ich wollte aber schon lange mal den "Highlander" besuchen. Das ist ein niedliches hölzernes Häuschen in irischem (oder schottischem, keine Ahnung) Stil, mit angeblich bestem Bier in der Stadt. Da könnten wir mal gehen. Wenn du Lust hast, gucken wir noch abends TV-Serien mit 'ne Platte Snacks oder zocken HOMM3 Hotseat.
Ich bin gespannt auf deine Ankunft, liebe Grüße
Katja

Heute schreibe ich meinen einhundertsten Text hier. Ich bin froh, dass ich viele tolle Leute, die mir helfen, hier gefunden habe. Es ist lustig, obwohl ich keine sozialen Medien habe und das Konzept nicht ganz Toll finde, ich glaube meine Schriften hier ähneln einem Tagebuch und eine Art Porträt von mir online erstellen. Viele meinen Interessen sind schon hier aber es gibt noch viele, die ich gerne darüber schreiben würde. Mein neues Ziel? 365 Tage von Deutsch. Los geht's!

Wind is Strong
It's very windy today, so I almost didn't go outside. When I was walking outside, I felt so cold that I had a pain in my ears. Unfortunately, there was a big car accident that involved over 130 cars. This is because snowdrifts were blown and it made a snowstorm, so visibility was bad.
The only good thing was my clothes got dry quickly thanks to the wind. I can't wait for spring, a warmer and calm climate.

Have you ever tried Mr Tu's taxi?
In its "Good News" column, the Süddeutsche newspaper reports that Taipei's taxi booking app now also offers the option of ordering a Karaoke taxi, apart from typical special requests like an English speaking driver or a wheelchair suitable vehicle.
Allegedly, Mr Tu is Taipei's most famous karaoke driver. His taxi is equipped with external loudspeakers so that when he encourages his passengers to sing during the ride, not only the passenger, but also people on the street will be entertained. He often records his passengers singing and uploads the videos to Youtube, where some of the recordings receive more than a million views. He offers discounts or even free rides to those who sing, but he reports that the tips he receives from happy passengers often exceed the original taxi fee.
Is anything like this thinkable in Germany? Absolutely not. Germans typically believe to be bad singers and feel very uncomfortable when they have to sing in public. I have never heard of a German inviting his friends to sing Karaoke and I believe that the few Karaoke parlours existing in this country are mostly patronized by Asian clients. It was a huge culture shock for me when I was invited to play Karaoke in Asia for the first time.

Experience of my computer break down
Today, I’m going to talk about my experience that my computer broke down. It was really frustrated. At that time, I was working in an import and export company and I needed to translate their products’ information which was a daunting task because I needed to find appropriate collocations and phrasal verbs. While I was translating, my computer just went to blank and everything just gone. I was about to go crazy and I didn’t know what happened and what I was gonna do. If I can’t fix it, it meant that I need to start from scratch. I was furious and I felt computers were not reliable, because you have no idea when they would break down. However, I can not deny that computers do bring us so many convenience. For example, it is time-saving when you need to record a meeting because you do not have to write down everything. All you need do is turn on your voice memos.

Des jeux de cartes en ligne
Je viens de découvrir un site web pour jouer aux jeux de cartes multijoueurs. C'est amusant de jouer contre l'ordinateur, même si c'est un peu barbant après un certain temps, mais chaque fois que j'essaie de jouer contre des personnes réelles soit je perds, soit ils quittent avant la fin du jeu. C'est frustrant. J'aimerais beaucoup un site du même genre qui nous permets de jouer contre des personnes qu'on connaît est non seulement des étrangers. Ça serait beaucoup plus sympa.
