川端康成の「古都」
川端康成の「古都」を読みました。私のブッククラブが去年７月に「千羽鶴」を読んでいましたので、今年の７月他の川端小説を読めようと思いました。今年の日本旅行に行かないけど、「古都」で色な京都祭りが大事ですから, この本で京都に行きました。
「古都」の景色と祭りの説明は素敵ですが、主人公は何を考えてますか？日本文化で人はいつも間接的な言葉を使います。でも、あれは私の問題です。日本小説が好きですが微妙な本は好きじゃない。というけど、日本小説は全部微妙だと思もっています。
この小説は人気になりました。それをわかります。古典的日本と近代的日本はこの小説で比べます。谷崎 潤一郎の「細雪」のように。でも私なら「細雪」のほうが好きです。なぜなら、その本で姉妹の戦いと思うは直接で伝えています。

Dein Forum für Probleme 3
Cinderella:
Neulich habe ich zufällig bemerkt, dass mein Freund ganz viele SMS von einer anderen Frau bekommt. Was soll ich jetzt machen?
Kommentar:
Das ist sehr furchtbar. Wenn ich du wäre, würde ich mit meinem Freund über diesen SMS sprechen. Und wenn es Affäre ist, würde ich mit ihm Schluss machen, da er nicht treu ist und andere Frau von mir bevorzuge.

Modernist Literature
These paragraphs are not connected:
1) Two examples of American modernist writers are John Steinbeck and Vladimir Nabokov. In this regard, this essay will contrast these two novelists and their foremost works: The Grapes of Wrath and Lolita. This essay will compare their contexts and influences, always framed under the concept of Modernist Literature.
2)These countercultural writing styles further demonstrate at what level the disintegrated state of society affected the work of writers at that time. In this regard, writers with a voice emerged to advocate for those without power. In this category of writers bold enough to denounce social issues, John Steinbeck arises as one of the most important voices in the America of the early 20th century. A writer whose books tapped into socio-political issues, relevant for his time.
3) On the whole, both writers, the same as their books have transcended time to become everlasting classics. On the one hand, Steinbeck has come to be an icon of rebellion against social injustices, ideas that he imprinted throughout all his work. On the other hand, Nabokov, has transformed in an icon of contracultural literature, not only for the subjects that he covered but also for the innovative resources he included in his books. Both different in style but similar in essence, since both have become a referent in literature and synonyms of mastery.

La popolazione dell'Italia è più meno a quella del Giappone, ma in Wikipedia Italia il numero di voci è più della Wikipedia in giapponese. Allora, gli hikikomori Italiani sono molto intelligenti. Però, il numero di voci nella Wikipedia del Cebuano è quasi quanto a quella del Inglese!

what is the difference between the generations.
In my opinion, the younger generation has many options to chose the lifestyle that they want. In their age, the young generation doesn't need to face the burden of hungry in life. On the other hand, today youths who live in wealthy and stronger countries, live with the comfort of knowing where the next meal is coming from because they have a big government to support their life. Compared with the previous generation, they have much time to spend on entertainment, such as spending time playing computer games. Concurrent, for the majority, the responsibility from family is reducing by the undermining of moralities. For the older generation, the majority had to help in the fields, gather wood, fetch water, and do all kinds of odd jobs to eke out the family budget. Cause the teenagers don't have, most of them are without the sense of responsibility for their family, doubtless. Instead, they are intelligent that know has to avoid their duty and satisfy with staying where they are. The generation is lucky living in a safe environment, learning the knowledge online, receiving the newest information from the world rapidly, and enjoying the convenience of the global market that has low prices and high-quality products. These are benefits their parents didn't have at their age.

Meine COVID TEST Erfahrung
Am Sontag werden wir meine Mutter in New York besuchen.
Zum Glück ist sie Gesund. Alles in ordnung.
Dennoch ist sie 75 Jahre alt. Covid ist für sie eine Gefahr. Deshalb haben wir Heute Covid Tests gemacht.
Bei uns war es ganz schlecht, einen Termin zu machen. Wir haben im Internet gesucht. Es gibt überall Kliniken.
Aber gab es keine verfügbare Terminen. Endlich haben wir zwei Terminen gefunden.
Meine Frau und ich sind nicht Krank. Wir sind Gesund, keine Husten oder hohe Fieber haben. Doch mussten wir im Auto bleiben, während des Tests.
Die Klinik hat alle Vorsichtsmaßnahmen getroffen. Ich bin am Tor im Auto gefahren. Sie gaben mir das Test durchs Fenster meines Autos. Dann machte ich mich es.
Die Krankenschwester hat mir erklärt, am Besten Methoden es zu tun. Danach habe ich es hineingelegt.
Wir warten jetzt auf der Ergebnisse. Hoffentlich lohnt es sich.

Des dons charitables
Je ne donne aucun l’argent aux charités mais je devrais le faire. En fait, je pense qu’il y avait beacoup d’années depuis la dernière fois que j’ai donné. Je dis ceci parce que même un dollar peut améliorer la vie de quelqu’un d’autre. Dans les pays sous-developpés, où on ne peut pas payer pour des medicamente ou la nourriture, un petit don est utile. Alors, je dois suivre mon propre conseil et trouve une organisation pour faire ça.

Se a "cancel culture" è fora do o controle?
Se a "cancel culture" è fora do o controle?
Para começar vou descrever um pouco sobre que exatamente eu tal
chamado "cancel culture." Entre os últimos anos, o "cancel culture" é um fenômeno que vai crescendo com muita rapidez.
Simplesmente, o termo "cancel culture"é uma reação por parte do público rechaçando uma idéia ou expressão que não é valorizado. Ou seja, quando uma grande quantidade de pessoas desconcorda com um ponto de vista o qual é muito polemico o povo reage pedindo que a pessoa que expõe na opinião polêmica seja "cancelado."
No típico escenario acontece quando uma pessoa talvez famoso expressa uma posição polêmica. Os redes sociais, saltam para destacar que qualquer coisa dito é problemático normalmente por razões de ser racista, sexisista, xenofobico, etc., entre outros.
Então este rechaço público toma diversas formas mas no geral, a pessoa que tem a "opinião problemática" perde seu emprego, pessoas ao seu redor denunciam sua afiliação com tal pessoa, ou em no caso empresas estão sujeito aos biquotes.
Agora, sem dúvida que acontece situações justos, onde os redes sociais especialmente, Twitter, reacciona fortemente, condenado nas ações ou discursos controversos. Mas, que eu vejo é mais problemático e vai levando o “cancel culture” fora do controle e quando Twitter ou outro rede encontra coisas dito décadas anteriores para agora “cancelar” essa pessoa. Para ilustrar, o ano anterior na cantante Kate Smith (mais conhecida como a cantora do hino de beisebol, "God Bless America") que era mais famosa durante na década dos ‘40s, foi “cancelada” porque Twitter encontrou que ela tenha cantando uma canção relativamente obscuro que tinha letras racistas.
Ainda que condeno qualquer tipo de racismo isso não muda que outras canções não racistas tenham valor. A final de contas devemos de pensar é reagir às coisas de mau gosto num modo mais sutil em vez de só em absolutos que sejam negro ou branco sem graus.

Verlorenes Paket
Letzte Woche habe ich Hose von einem Kleidung-Unternehmen bestellt. Tage sind vorbei gegangen, und es haben noch keine Updates auf der UPS-Internetseite gegeben. Ich habe endlich Emails zu dem Unternehmen und UPS gesendet. UPS haben gesagt, dass sie wissen nicht, wo das Paket ist, und ich soll das Unternehmen anrufen. Das Unternehmen haben nicht reagiert. Also habe ich das Unternehmen anrufen. Die Frau hat gesagt, dass sie haben das Paket verloren. Ich habe eine Erstattung bekommen, aber es ist trotzdem enttäuschend. Ich habe diese Hose wirklich gewollt, und ich habe für Wochen gewartet, um sie zu bestellen, weil sie nicht verfügbar in meiner Größe war. Jedoch ist sie nur Hose-- nicht Medizin, oder etwas teueres. Immerhin werde ich nächstes Mal USPS benutzen.

Living abroad: Challenges and achievements
One of most challenging things about leaving your country is not fitting into the new nation, and this may bring out a great fear and uncertainty in the exchange student. Also, the documentation process might be complex and stressful depending on the student's original country, and in order for the traveller to be granted with the visa is required a greal deal of money and time.
It is worth mentioning that if the student is leaving for country where his/her native language is not spoken, it is needed a basic knowledge on the target language so that the student will be able to get by with essential activities.
It is widely common for incoming students to be concerned about not having many friends or any friend at the beginning of their time abroad. I can relate to that since I have been to The USA over a year, and I had not made any close friend during the first four months due to lack of abilities with English and confidence.
Another reason for students to feel beside themselves while living abroad is the unfamiliar climate, which can be really harsh on the body and complete alter what clothes one wears. But, to someone who has never seen a snowy weahter before, it can be quite enjoyable to make your first snowman and draw an angel on the ground covered with snow.
Furthermore, once you come to realize how much you have improve your target language, you will put a grin on your face, right off the bat. You might begin to feel like you are at home, and after the first semester you will have made friends where you least had expected. When the time to leave comes up, a feeling of indecision about whether you want to depart or not will kick in, and you will have to say farewell to all your new friends with the hope of coming back soon.
In the end, you will return to your country better than you were and with more experiences and stories to tell, so enjoy your time abroad in your best way.

#2 Je m'ennuie au travail
Au moment où j'écris, je suis au travail. Je travail pour mon université. Je n’ai pas de travail faire car mon patron est en Alaska pour deux semaines, alors je continue à apprendre le français. Il est difficile écrire car j’ai parle seulement anglais pour toute ma vie.
Ce soir, Je vais cuisiner une pizza pour le dîner. C’est une tradition les vendredis! J’aime les champignon, le basilic et le pepperoni sur ma pizza. J'ai hâte de manger!
Je l'espère en apprendre davantage. Merci pour l’aide!

Crows
In a small town not far from where I live, a stroller called the fire brigade because he was observing a bird hanging upside down in a tree and making noises that sounded to him like shouting for help.
The fire brigade arrived on the scene with its turnable ladder. Under the watchful eyes of a large crowd of crows in the trees and curious onlookers in the street, a fireman was able to put the bird back into its nest.
The fireman reported that the young crow had tried to fly out from its nest, but one of its legs was trapped in plastic garbage its parents had obviously used for building the nest. He wished to thank the resident of a neighboring house for lending a nail clipper to cut the garbage, as the fire truck was not well equipped for this kind of delicate rescue activities.
The commander of the fire brigade commented that volunteering to be a fireman means offering help to whomever was in need of it and that this offer is not restricted to humans.
I am happy to contribute to a society where sending a large firetruck to help a little bird is absolutely normal. On the other hand, it is a shame that the convenience we enjoy by the large amount of disposable plastic items we use every day means danger or even death to other creatures.

Ein Brief nach meine Nachbarin
Liebe Neela,
Ich muss mich entschuldigungen, weil ich deine Bücher schön so lange behalten. Ich habe den kurzen Gedichten von Rilke allerdings genießen. Sie waren sehr evokativ, und manche habe ich abgeschrieben. Das Buch mit Liebesgedichte gefällt mir nicht so viel, aber ich glaube teilweise denn es keine Bilder hat!
Ich hoffe ernsthaft dass du und dein Sohn angenehm und gesund sind. Ich habe gedacht, dass ich sollte dir nicht stören durch die Quarantäne, aus gesundheitliche Gründen, aber jetzt bin ich nicht sicher. Jetzt wünsche ich, dass ich mindestens dir früher schreiben hätte. Ich hoffe, dass ich in irgendwelche weg hilfreich sein kann, und dass du könntest diese Bücher auch geniessen.

Bir yürüyüş
Bu sabah eskide oturduğum grup evinden bir personel üyesiyle bir yürüyüş yaptım. Rengarenk kumaşın dıkkatını dağıttığı için desensiz giysiler giymeye çalıştığını diye bana söyledi. Komşu şehrine kadar yürüyüp geri döndük. Bir buçuk saat alan yolculuğun sırasında çevrimiçi bir Türkçe kursu almak istediğimi söz ettim. Birlikte oturduğu Rus bir kadından öğrendiği biraz Rusça biliyormuş diye bana dedi.

Speech - Introduce The LangCorrect
I have been asked to give a 3-minute speech on the subject of helping people learn English for company training, and I would like to introduce LangCorrect. I've written a speech draft and I hope you can point out any errors to me?
---
Good morning, everyone, this is Onodak. I'm a little nervous because I'm not used to giving such speeches in English. so please go easy on me.
Today I want to introduce a social networking service that will help you learn English, especially writing English.
It's called LangCorrect.
LangCorrect is a language learning web service run by the community.
It's a service where you can get help from native speakers who will correct your writing in the language you're learning. You can also correct sentences that were written in your native language by other users who are learning it.
In my case, my native language is Japanese and I am currently learning English. This is my composition in English I posted to LangCorrect. It was titled "My Story - My Least Favorite Food".
Then users who are native English speakers corrected my sentences. Here, users corrected and commented on my writing. Each sentence is corrected and you can see what was corrected.
For example, I wrote, "It smells like a stink bug and feels like grass in my mouth". He corrected the sentence to say "It smells like a stinky bug and feels like grass in my mouth". With the comment, "A stink bug isn't a valid noun in English. The noun you have used is 'bug'. The adjective 'stinky' describes the bug". Another user responded to that comment, "A stink bug is a valid noun in English. It refers to a species of insect that is native to places such as Japan, China and Korea. The original sentence is correct".
You can get corrections like this.
On the other hand, if a user who is learning Japanese posts sentences, users, including me as a native speaker of Japanese, will receive a request to correct it. Then we can correct their sentences and reply to them. The user who was corrected may thank you for the correction.
Having a native speaker correct your writing will help you practice writing more natural sentences.
LangCorrect is completely free to use. But if you like it you can donate. Your donation will be used to pay for the cost of running LangCorrect's servers.
I started this LangCorrect in July 2020 and I have posted 6 sentences on it. I want to post more sentences and improve my English skills in the future.
Okay, this is the end of my speech. If you are interested in LangCorrect, please register and use it.
It has a function to allow becoming friends with other users, I would be happy if you could add my account, Onodak, as a friend. Thank you for listening.

Space sketches
I randomly choose words, expressions, phrasal verbs etc. from my flash cards and my task is to incorporate them into meaningful sentence/s or a short story.
First sketch
Random words; GET SOMEONES MIND AROUND, HUMDRUM, BACKWATER, CONSCRIPTION
Having gotten his mind around his life he realises that he's a little sick of his humdrum everyday routine. He dreams of being conscripted as soon as possible and leaving his backwater planet for good.
Second sketch
Random word; TO SAUNTER, TO COME AROUND
Despite a battle between jet-fighters and UFOs unfolding in the sky, she was sauntering around the park and slowly but surely came around to her previous decision of buying a house in that area.
Third sketch
Random words; STRONG-WILLED, BE IN FULL SWING, TO MOLLIFY
Wow. You must be a strong-willed and a gatsy person if you think you are able to mollify the seasoned space jarhead’s party that is in full swing in the middle of nowhere and a campaign.
Or, you know, four-star general shoulder straps could be helpful as well.

Dark
Heute ist der Morgen des 31 Juli, aber ich schreibe über gestern. Letzte Nacht war ich sehr sehr müde und hatte kein Lust auf irgendetwas schreiben.
Na ja... Gestern habe ich sehr viel gearbeitet. Außerdem habe ich drei Episoden von Dark geguckt. Während der Quarantäne bin ein bisschen süchtig nach dieser TV-Sendung geworden. Ich bin jetzt am Ende der dritte Staffel.
Das ist ein bisschen Wahnsinnig für mich. Ich bin das nicht gewohnt, aber diese TV-Show ist sehr interessant und rätselhaft.

jour 3
Salut! Aujourd'hui il fait bien chaud. J'ai hâte d'attendre l'automne. Mes vacances sont ennuyants en raison de coronavirus. Mais peut-être que j'irai dans les motnagnes en août avec mes parents. Je vais marcher tous les jours et je voudrais marcher dans les montagnes. Je joue aussi de la guitare. J'aime le faire. Ça m'aide à me detendre et ça me fait me sentir accomplie.

Adanın hakkında
Annem varlıklı bir adam oturduğu bir adanın hakkında gazeteden bir makale okudu. Adam ünlü bir edebiyat eleştirmeniydi ve yaz aylarının sırasında çeşitli oyunculeri ile yönetmenleri oraya davet edermişti. Orada yalıtık kalmayı sevmişler. Bir gün anakaradan insanların geldiğinde Harpo Marx çırılçıplak çamurla örtülü halde ve kırmızı bir perukla onlara selam verdi, ziyaretçileri korkutmayı için.
