Cela fait quelques semaines depuis j'ai recomméncé à apprendre le français. Même si je trouvé ça dificile, mon objectif est de pouvoir parler et comprendre pleinement le français dans les trois prochaines années. Je veux pouvoir visiter un pays francophone comme la France ou le Canada et parler avec les natifs sans aucun probléme.

Pros and Cons for Children of Watching Television
Nowadays, children spend a fair amount of time watching television. Variety of programs and shows make television a tremendous source of entertainment. However, what advantages and difficulties television can bring to children’s lives? In this essay I will look at both sides of this question.
The main advantage of television is the fact that it can act as an educational platform. From spectacular documentary films on wildlife to fascinating programmes about space, they give rich, emotional impressions to children’s outlook to the world. In many cases, this knowledge can help them to learn better at school and what’s more, can lay the foundation to the interests in children’s future lives.
Now let’s move to possible negative effects. One of the major drawbacks occurs in the situation when parents let their children to watch television too much time. Entertaining programs and shows, colorful cartoons can be highly addictive for children attention, often distracting them from doing their homework, reading books, do sport and other activities. Another serious problem of modern television is its never-ending commercials. Being mentally and emotionally vulnerable, children often start wishing the products enforced to them by the market specialists. As a result, this add compulsiveness to the child’s behaviour, moreover directing him or her to terrorize his parents to buy the products shown in the commercials.
To summarize those points, I will state that modern television can add benefits to children’s lives when it is being used properly, and disadvantages when it is used the wrong way. Watching educational programmes cause children to be more curious and helps to understand the world better, whereas an excessive watching of television can lead to an addictive and uncontrollable behaviour. I believe that parents should pay more attention to their children and protect them from the bad influence of television.

My Story - My Least Favorite Food
I don't know why, but I don't like coriander. A lot of people tell me it's delicious, but I can't understand its appeal. It smells like a stink bug and feels like grass in my mouth. The only time I'll eat it is if I'm a guest. Luckily it's not common in Japan and easy to avoid.

Question - To Speak English Fluently
May I ask you a few questions?
I would like some advice on how to improve my conversation in English.
I want to improve my English pronunciation, so I have been watching phonics videos on YouTube to practice my pronunciation. If you have any recommendations for materials or learning methods, could you please let me know?
Also, when I speak in English, I can't speak immediately what I'm thinking to want to talk about in my head in English. To improve my speaking skills, I've been shadowing and dictating using Youtube and TED videos, but I don't feel like I'm improving. Do you have any recommendations for learning to speak more fluently?

木曜日、３０日
ネトフリクスやユーチューブを全然見たくないからトレントで日本のテレビ放送をダウンロードする。最近は「女子グルメバーガー部」と「DASADA」が好きだ。
「女子グルメバーガー部」には毎回女の方二人を紹介て一緒にレストラン行く。その前に、女主人公と相手の関係が見せれる。ハンバーグーより人間関係は興味をそそるけどアメリカ人に日本式ハンバーグー不思議だ。
「DASADA」は高等学生女主人公が二人ある。一人が人気女あるけどファッション部員と喧嘩になるから去ったのに、大学の入学資格のために入部が必要だ。その時に、不器用な高い女と合う。高い女は自分で作るなシャッツを売るけどブランド名がじゃないから主人公に尋ねる。「ださだ」で返事ので商品名が「DASADA」でなたった。二人親しくなって一緒に新しい部を作る。

El dentista
"Tienes que fijar la próxima cita en seis meses", me mandó la ultima vez que vi el dentista, hace 2 años. No era que no quería ir al dentista - pues, claro que no quería ir al dentista - pero no era la razón que no fui. Es que cosas pasan y hoy, después de 2 años, me encontré tumbado, bajo la luz tan brillante, escuchando al sonido del torno que parecía tener baterías super cargadas y un motor dispuesto a hacer polvo de cualquiera cosa que vaya a enfrentar. Segundos sentaban como minutos, mientras él preparaba el torno para su trabajo más duro de la semana, mi cuerpo se tensó esperando lo inesperado. Al momento que me tocó el diente, no sentí nada y me acordé de las herramientas hoy en día son más suaves que antes.
Gracias por leerlo! Por favor, incluya revisiones para sonar más natural.

Day 30 - End of the Challenge
For the last 30 days, I have been participating in a 30-day challenge. The core of the task was to work on the languages each one was learning, but also to do something in group which is always more fun and motivating than doing it alone. Today, that the challenge is closing, it’s time to look back and assess what I’ve gained and what areas I need to reinforce. The positives are that I could catch up with my English studies after not having done much in the past 2 years, and to my surprise, I’ve continued to improve in spite of not having worked on my English actively. Another thing that makes me close these 30 days with a smile is knowing that I never took the challenge lightly, quite the contrary, every day I spare some time to write something meaningful to me. In fact, if I had written something quickly just to keep up with the challenge, now I’d be quite dissatisfied with myself.
As for the aspects I need to take more seriously; Punctuation. In this regard, most of the feedback I got had to do with punctuation. Hence, this August I’ll put myself to study what relative, dependant, and independent clauses are. I admit that for many years I’ve proudly refused to even consider studying that aspect of grammar. However, since I’m looking forward to the C1 certificate, I have to make peace with the idea that English in this regard is different from Spanish. For example, in Spanish we have more freedom when writing, punctuation is also more intuitive than regulated. Besides we don’t have anything called “run-on sentences”. That’s why in Spanish one has the freedom to write long sentences, and also to use plenty of adjectives to describe the same thing. In conclusion, I’m the one who has to adapt to English grammar and not the other way round.
I would also like to learn another language, consequently this next 30 days I’ll allocate some minutes of my days to write in French. I have a simple goal: 100-word paragraph daily. Luckily I have engraved in my mind, the first time I wrote a paragraph in English, it took me the whole afternoon. I assume that with French I’ll have to go through the same agony.

Lacrime di pagliaccio
Il pagliaccio stava camminando per le strade nella notte più strana della sua vita. Le strade erano vuote: c'erano solo lui, la forte pioggia e la luminosa luna. Non sapeva cosa era successo, la divertente città allegre che conosceva aveva diventato un posto triste e senza vita.
Seduto sulla strada, il pagliaccio ha trovato una sporca bambola vicino ai suoi piedi, probabilmente lasciata lì da una bambina, e viene subito in sua mente le immagini dei bambini che giocavano nella città. Ma perché non erano più lì? Perché non c'era nessuno con cui giocare, ridere o parlare? Come non aveva nessuna risposta decide tornare a camminare, anche se non c'era qualcuno che gli aspettasse.
Nella sua mano c'era la bambola che aveva portato, adesso pulita. Era così perso nei suoi pensieri che non aveva notato un paesello un po' lontano di lui oppure il sole, che adesso era nel cielo.
Quando è finalmente arrivato nella nova città, ha visto una bambina a guardarlo con curiosità, quando subito corre verso di lui.
- Mia bambola! Grazie per averla trovato Sig. Pagliaccio!
E poi le persone che abitavano la cittadina sono venuti.
- Sig. Pagliaccio! Ti abbiamo mancato tantissimo!
Lui era adesso felice, tutta la gente che conosceva era là con lui, a riedere e giocare tutti insiemi come prima, oppure almeno fino a quando non si sposterebbero di nuovo...

Übersetze alle Sätze auf Deutsch (Hausaufgaben)
Ich glaube, dass regnet werden.
Er hat Sauber, weil er die ganze Tag nicht Wasser getrunken hat
Wenn ich zu Hause gehe. die essen bereiten war
Er hat mehr Energie, seit er früher aufwachen.
Die Eltern so müde sind, wenn sie sind in Urlaub
Wie malen wollen, deshalb wir neuen Kugleschreiben kaufen
Bis seinen Tochter die Zimmer putzen, die Mutter ins Bett ist.
Sie kann nicht die suppe essen, weil es so heiß ist
Die Enginieren mochten nicht heute arbeiten, deshalb sie shon gehen
Wenn ich in Spanien leben, ich so fröhlich war
Die Mädchen is in das Bett, weil sie so müde ist
Bis der Student der Unterricht bereitet, der Professor in er Hause ist
Ihn kann schneller laufen, seit ihnen jeden tagen entrenieren
Ich mochte nach India fahre, deshalb ich ein Flugticken kaufe
Wir hoffen, dass wir punktlich sind
Seit die Lehrerin brille hat, sie besser sehen kann
Sie sagen, dass sie bereiten hat
Ich habe mein Tee getrunken, bis das Programm bereitet
Wenn er Mädchen war, er badminton spielt
Seit wir in Deutschland leben, wir jeden tag deutsche sprechen
Ich möchte in Deutschlan studieren, deshalb ich deutsche lernen.

climate change effects (1)
The growing climate change is the cost of human progress. In the current decade, the rising-worse climate quality is leading an irreversible result in the global world, for example, the glacier is melting, the green-house is thinning and renewable resources are declining. The unlimited use of free-natural resources is, to say the least, been dangerous than it first starts. But on the plus side, the human's aggression on nature could contribute to the society and economics market thrive.

Hören, mein Schlechte Fähigkeit ...
Zwischen alle meine Fähigkeiten in Deutsch, Lesen, Schreiben, Sprachen und Hören, gibt es kein Zweifel, dass Hören die Schlechte ist.
Ich weiß nicht warum, weil ich mit anderen Leute sprechen kann und alles verstände. Heute habe ich mit meinem Lehrer eine B1 Prüfung gemacht, und fast alle Fehler waren innerhalb Hören ...
Ich dachte, dass wenn ich viele Sprachen Übung machen, dann würde mein Hören verbessern. Aber es funktioniert nicht so :/

Air pollution
Currently, air pollution is a big problem around the world. There are many industries that are responsible for air pollution. They only care about making money, but they do not care about finding potential ways that could reduce air pollution. The situation is even worse in developing countries as there are no regulations or standards that could set a limit for CO2 and other greenhouse gasses.
The situation is also worse in China where CO2 emissions are beyond the permissible limit. Before the Coronavirus occurred in China, the Chinese used to wear protective masks to protect themselves from breathing toxins. I remember a friend of mine who was traveling to China with an N95 mask. When I saw her looking for a mask in Hiroshima City, I asked her the reason, and she told me that she was traveling to China and in order to protect herself from air pollution in China, she needed a mask.
Obviously, there are other reasons for air pollution as well such as vehicles. Usually, private cars are one of the reasons for air pollution in developing countries. In developing countries, because public transport is not suitable for passengers in a city, many people prefer to buy a private vehicle. When the economic situation of households improves, they plan to buy a car. I have even seen families with two or three cars. The bad thing about these vehicles is the fact that it has low passenger capacity but high CO2 emission. Therefore, imagine a city where almost every household owns a car or even every member of a family owns a car.

Летные каникулы
В настоящее время я в отпуске на один месяц. Каждый день я пытаюсь сделать что-то, отличающееся от предыдущего дня, но это не всегда возможно. Обычно я хожу в спортзал, который позволяет мне ненадолго сбежать из мира и укрепить свой ум. В другой раз я хожу на пляж, чтобы остыть. Обожаю ощущение, когда я засовываю голову в воду и ныряю. Потом я выхожу на берег и загораю на полотенце на песке, всегда с осторожностью нанося солнцезащитный крем.
Посмотрим, смогу ли я в один прекрасный день совершить поездку в другую страну, даже если с коронавирусом это не очень желательно...

Meine neue Mitbewohnerin
Ich habe diese Woche meine neue Mitbewohnerin getroffen. Wir werden bei College ein Tripel-Zimmer teilen, aber glücklicherweise haben wir keine dritte Mitbewohnerin. Wir werden wohnen in einem Studentenwohnheim, das weit vom Campus-Zentrum ist, aber es hat gute Absichten und ein Klavier. Ich war sehr nervös, um meine neue Mitbewohnerin zu treffen. Wir haben über Instagram DMs gesprochen, aber es war sehr kurz. Was würde geschehen, wenn wir zueinander nicht mögen werden? Doch war alles in Ordnung wann ich habe sie über FaceTime getroffen. Sie heißt Maria und kommt aus Massachusetts. Ihre Familie besitzt eine Brauerei, und sie will auch Geschichte studieren. Wir beiden lieben Wandern und Katzen. Ich bin sehr begeistert ein Zimmer mit ihr zu teilen. Ich freue mich auf, sie mehr kennenzulernen!

Mikkels Geschichte Teil 2
"Was meint das" fragte Mikkel: "Papa ist neun Jahre gestorben. Wieso sagst du das mir nur jetzt?"
Mutter antwortet: "Mein lieber Sohn, du warst nur ein Kind und nicht verstehtest. Jedoch wann du die Wahrheit willst, werde ich es sagen"
Mikkel denkt. Dann flüstert er: " Es ist egal. Hans war meiner Vater, meiner Papa. Er erzog mir. Ich liebte ihn. Nichts kann das ändern. Mein Plan ist unverändert."
Mutter sagt: Dein echter Vater heißte Wladimir. Wir trefften und verliebten uns zwei Jahre bevor du geboren warst. Wenn du drei warst, kamen zwei Männer zur Tür. Dann Wladimir sagte dass er verlassen brauchte. Er sagte dass wegen ihm wir in Gefahr waren. Dann heiratete ich Hans und du nicht erinnertest Wladimir."
Mikkel springt und sagt: "Hans' Mörder denkte wahrscheinlich dass Hans was Wladimir. Ich muss Wladimir suchen."

Day 1
Hello,
I'm new here and I will try to write everyday about my day.
First, I'm going to present myself. I'm an engineering from Madrid, Spain. I'm doing this because I would like to improve my English comunication skills. Altough I'm perfectly capable of understand English, my writting skills (and speaking) are not so developed.
About my day today, i dont have much to say, it had been a day like any other. I woke early up to go to work. It had been a very hot week here in Spain, specially in Madrid with maximum temperatures near 40ºC. The good news are that this is my last week of work before going on a 3 three weeks holidays, so I'm happy in this sense. I will talk about my holidays in future diary entries.
That is for today, you will know more about me in the comming days.
Thank you very much and best regards!

История Михаила часть два
"Что значит?" вопросил Михаил: "Папа скончался девять лет назад. Почему ты просто сейчас скажешь мне этот?"
Мама ответит: "сын мой, ты был ребёнком, ты не был понимал. Зато, если ты хочешь реальную историю я буду сказать."
Михаил думает. Он потом шептает: "Всё равно. Ханс — мой отец, мой папа. Он меня воспитал. Я его любил. Нет ничего может этот изменять. Мой план такой же."
Мама говорит: "твоего реального отца зовут Владимир. Мы познакомились и влюбились два года назад ты родился. Когда тебе были три года, два человеки навещали. Потом Владимир говорил что ему было надо покинуть. Он говорил что из-за него мы были в опасности. Потом, я женилась Ханс и ты не запомнил Владимир."
Михаил прыгает и скажет: "убийца Ханса наверно думал что он был Владимир. Мне нужно найти Владимир."

CAN SOMEONE TURN THIS INTO SOMETHING MORE NATURAL?
Je sais pas vraiment ce que je veux dire ici, mais je viens de trouver ce site, alors j'ai pensé que ce serait bien d'écrire quelque chose et de voir si mon écriture est assez bonne, car je ne le fais généralement pas autant que J'aimerais. Je suppose que je pense que je parle couramment l'anglais, mais parfois cela peut ne pas me sembler si vrai, je veux dire, de temps en temps, je tombe sur des mots et je me dis: qu'est-ce que cela signifie ??? JE DEVRAIS SAVOIR CELA (cela arrive BEAUCOUP spécialement avec les livres / textes universitaires)! Mais bon, cela arrive probablement à tout le monde, même dans ma langue maternelle (le portugais) je me retrouve à n'avoir absolument AUCUNE idée de ce que signifie un mot, alors imaginez combien de fois cela peut se produire dans une langue qui n'est pas votre langue principale et vous n'en avez personne pratiquer avec. Donc je suppose que c'est ça, c'est juste quelque chose qui me traversait l'esprit, je ne peux pas me forcer à être parfait alors que c'est absolument normal de ne pas l'être.

random thoughts
I don't really know what I wanna say here, but I just found this website, so I thought it'd be nice to write something and see if my writing is good enough, since I usually don't do this as much as I'd like. I guess I think I'm fluent in english, but sometimes this may not seem so true to me, I mean, once in a while I come across some words and I'm like: what does this mean??? I SHOULD KNOW THAT (this happens A LOT specially with college books/texts)! But hey, this probably happens to everyone, even in my native language (portuguese) I find myself having absolutely NO idea what a word means, so imagine how often this can occur in a language that is not your main one and you have no one to practice with. So I guess this is it, this is just something that was running through my mind, I can't force myself so hard into being perfect when it's absolutely okay not to be.
