Food in the university canteen!
The food at our university cafeteria is very healthy. I would like to take lunch there every day. However, I have not received my university ID-Card yet because our university's administration office is still closed. Actually most of the buildings are closed because of the pandemic, and classes take place online.

Bang om nederlands te spreken
Hoi Iedereen! Ik wil dit meer doen maar ik heb gewoon geen idee wat te schrijven
Ik woon nu vier maanden in Nederland, maar ik heb niet veel Nederlands gesproken in het echte leven. In mijn hoofd ben ik een beetje onzeker als ik Nederland moet spreken. Ik oefen elke dag met mensen in een Discord server maar zelfs dat is niet genoeg, denk ik.
Bijvoorbeeld: toen ik naar de winkel ging en ik stond in de rij voor de kassa, ik dacht bij mezelf "oh shit zal ik in het nederlands zeggen? wat als ze me niet begrijpt?" Dan zei ik 'hallo'. Bijna meteen reageerde ze "oh hello", in het Engels. Ik hoop dat het niet mijn accent is, of misschien ben ik beroemd als de Canadian die woont in de buurt en ze willen in het Engels met mij praten. Ik kijk naar nederlandse programma's om mijn accent te verbeteren. Ik herhaal wat iemand zegt een paar keer, maar misschien is dat ook niet genoeg.
Ik hou van Nederlands leren, maar als introvert is het heel bang en een beetje moeilijk om te praten in het Nederlands. Misschien moet ik de <voice channels> meedoen! Hopelijk was dit niet gevuld met fouten! Bedankt.

Um bife delicioso
Eu me sentei na minha cadeira e olhei o que tinha no meu prato. Era uma fatia de bife, mal passada. Meu favorito! Eu preparei minhas talheres e cortei na carne. Ao fazer isso, água preencheu a boca. O bife parecia delícia! Eu dei uma mordida, e saboreei o sabor. Antes que eu percebesse, eu tinha comido a coisa toda. Foi ótimo!

Meine Reise nach Colorado: Tag 2
Am Morgens des zweites Tages wanderten wir zu Bible Point. Es ist das höchste Ort in YMCA of the Rockies. Der Spaziergang ist nicht lang, aber sehr schwer, weil es komplett bergseitig ist. Auf dem Fußweg gibt es viele schöne Aussichten auf Berge. Meine Mutter könnte es nicht fertig machen, weil sie Höhenkrankheit hatte. Auf Bible Point gibt es das Grab eines Mann, der ein Mitglied der YMCA war. Danach wanderten wir zu Glacier Creek und ein bisschen in Rocky Mountain National Park. Nach Mittags gingen mein Bruder und mein Vater nach Estes, um einen Gürtel zu kaufen. Meine Mutter und ich gingen zu der Craft and Design Center. Wir machten Armbänder aus Glasperlen dort. Wann wir gemeinsam wieder waren, versuchten wir zu Sprague Lake zu wandern. Jedoch war es zu lang, und wir wollten zum Museum zu gehen. Das Museum von YMCA of the Rockies ist informativ und interessant, aber die Museum-Führerin war sehr nervig und sprach zu viel. YMCA of the Rockies ist ein schönes Ort, und ich würde es empfehlen, wenn man in die Rockies reisen wollte.

Fitness
Ich treibe keine Sport, weil ich keine Sport mag. Man sagt "Sport ist Mord". Trotzdem möchte ich mehr machen, um ein gesundes Leben zu führen. Letzte Woche habe ich eine Jogging-App heruntergeladen. Ich hoffe, dass ich in neun wochen fünf Kilometer in 30 Minuten rennen kann. Das ist eine große Herausforderung. Bis jetzt bin ich nur dreimal gegangen - und jedes Mal war ich nachher erschöpft. Wir werden sehen, ob ich mein Ziel erreichen werde.

My cover letter for a job!
To whom it may concern,
I found out about DLR and the Institute of Transportation Systems at a job fair at Leibniz University Hannover last year, and I was explained about the activities carried out at the institute, hence I was fascinated by the type of research activities and projects. I saw at the job portal of DLR an opportunity to submit a speculative application. Therefore, I am taking this opportunity to submit my application to be part of DLR. I am applying for a position right now because I would like to support my family financially.
After High school, I got a scholarship to obtain my bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Jaipur, India. Alongside my bachelor studies, I obtained certain skills such as working with AutoCAD drafting software and also using Primavera which is a project management software. My thesis was about the strengthening of flexible road pavements, and I completed it successfully. After my graduation, I went to Kabul and started working as a road design engineer at the Ministry of Public Works, where I handled the responsibilities of geometrical design and economic evaluation of roadways.
During my work, I got a scholarship to get my master's in transport engineering from Japan. The curriculum of the masters helped me develop a keen interest in research. At the department of transport engineering, Hiroshima University, we used R statistics software for the purpose of decision making in case of urban transport, which was interesting for me. My thesis is titled " Smart Monitoring of Street Roughness". I got interested to work at the Institute of Transportation Systems, Braunschweig after checking the range of projects that have been completed. For instance, a project called L3Pilot is about autonomous vehicles and the possibility to use them in the future.
I am keen to work at the Institute of Transportation Systems and would like to thank you for providing the opportunity to submit my application. I am available during the weekdays from 10:00 to 17:00 and will be looking forward to talking to you further in case you have any questions.
Yours sincerely,

Gleittag
Bei meiner Firma haben wir ein Gleitzeit-System, das heißt, dass wir Stunden sparen können, um sie an anderen Tagen zu benutzen. Ich habe morgen vor, einen Tag mit Gleitzeit zu nehmen, weil ich viele gesparte Stunden habe. Das heißt auch, dass bei unserer Firma Überstunden unbezahlbar sind.
Deswegen habe ich eine E-Mail zu unserer Abteilungssekretärin geschickt, um Bescheid zu geben.
Ich wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende :).

Online-Unterricht
Wegen der Pandemie sind jetzt alle Unterricht online.
Einerseits mag ich die Situation, weil ich später aufwachen kann und ich mich nicht anziehen muss. Außerdem kann ich mit meinem Bluetooth-Kopfhörer etwas anderes tun, während ich den Unterricht höre.
Anderseits vermisse ich meine Mitschüleren und, wenn ich zuhause bleibe, werde ich sehr einfach abgelenkt.
Also weiß ich nicht, worauf ich für nächstes Semester hoffen soll...

Bricks Manufacturing Process
The diagram demonstrates the bricks production technology.
Overall, the process has seven stages during which bricks transforms from a simple clay mass to the product that is ready to use.
It starts with a digger collecting clay for bricks. The next stage is to filter clay through a metal grid and move clean samples on roller to use it in further stages. After that bricks need to be shaped, whether by using a wire cutter or a mould. The fourth stage is to hold bricks into a drying oven for 24-48 hours. Now, it’s time to burn bricks. Firstly, they move into the first kiln with a moderate temperature from 200 up to 980 degrees Celcius. The second kiln’s temperature is even higher and set to a range beetween 870 and 1300 degrees. Then bricks need to be cooled down in the cooling chamber, where they should stay for at least 48-72 hours. After this last procedure, bricks are ready for packaging. Now they can be delivered to clients.

La casa de mi amiga
Mi amiga era tan amable que me permitó quedarme en su casa ya desde casi 4 meses. Vivimos debajo de escalera, parece que nuestra casita se situe le mas bajo de todo el barrio.
Cada mañana salgo a la terrassa et observo la naturalesa alrededor. Todas casas vecinas tienen jardines inmensos con grandes arboles, palmeras y pajaros volando por todos lados. Y como estamos en la valle parece que naturalesa me rodea en tres dimansiones.
La casita tiene dos etages, pero aun es bastante pequeña. Es echa de madera y tiene dos gatitos muy arrogantes. Me siento cómo a casa aqua. Tengo que irme pronto y como lo succede normalmente empecé de aprovechar solo ahora, cuando ne me quedan mas de 2 semanas.

15 lipca- urodzony
Wczoraj miałam uroczystonśća na moją urodzony. Nie był duży imprezy z powodu pandemii. Rano poszedłam na lekcje tańca. Po południu pojechałam do dom mojego ojca na obiad. Zjadłyśmy stek, zimniaki pieczonny, i brokułi z serem. Na deser miałyśmy lodowy ciasto. Kiedy wróciliśmy do domu, miałam paczka przy drzwiach od moja soistra. Ona mieszka w inneym stanie, i zadzwoniła do mnie o północy żeby zaśpiewać sto lat. Póżniej, razem z męzem poszliśmy na spacer do parku. Zrobił zdjęcia moim aparatem polaroid. Pogoda była bardżo ładna.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I haven’t finished the book yet. Actually, I’ve only read the first three parts out of six. Apparently, this series is quite famous in the U.K, in fact, there are some radio shows available on BBC radio which I highly recommend. There is also a movie starring well-known actors but for obvious reasons, the movie was a box-office bomb. The main reason is the plot itself which entails sci-fic, absurd situations, and philosophical questions, in other words, a melting pot where the author blended different topics. All of these topics in the pages of a book work perfectly because the author can stop himself to detail some obscure parts of the story, but in a movie the director has a time limit, therefore has to neglect some parts of the book or downright cut some parts of the plot. Thus, in many cases, the story has to be shortened too much and the audience ends up confused and not understanding a thing, which was the case with this movie.
Now, back to the story, everything begins when Artur wakes up just to realize that the earth is going to end in a couple of minutes. Fortunately for him, his friend rescues him just in time and upon this they begin an odyssey throughout the time-space fabric, going to different periods of time and to diverse points in the universe. This aspect of the novel is quite enjoyable because the author seems to be quite versed in physics and what is more, all the scientific resources he uses to back up his narrative make sense or at least have some base on scientific discoveries, which contributes to creating the illusion that even though the story is pure fantasy it may well have some base on reality.
As for the morale of the story, I’d describe the book as eye-opening because when the reader opens the books he is in the same situation than Artur, a normal human who is convinced that the world that he sees around is everything that exists, and who doesn’t question what is socially understood by reality. However, when the journey begins, the reader goes hand in hand with Artur discovering a completely new universe and multiverse, full of novelties to soon realize that humans are not the center of the universe and that there's more to this than meets the eye. The book is also hilarious. I love it.

La peor mentira que te dice la depresión
Hace cinco o seis días que tengo una depresión inesperada. Por todas medidas, debo estar más feliz - la terapía física me ha ayudado mucho recientemente y estoy empezando a correr y hacer otros ejercicios de nuevo. Además, estoy ganando dinero trabajando, y aprendiendo a cocinar con recetas que encontré en línea. Y con todo derecho, tengo mucho que esperar - mi cumpleaños viene el próximo mes, y también me mudo al dormitorio de mi segundo año en la universidad inmediatamente después.
A pesar de todo esto, no he logrado hacer casi nada por estar siempre cansado y deprimido. El libro que hace poco saqué de la biblioteca, queda apenas leído aunque lo he tenido por multiples días. En vez de leerlo, he pasado mis días en la computadora, gradualmente perdiendo mi mente, mi memoria, mi sentido de indentidad.
Y no es que no he querido hacer nada. Es verdad que por la mayoría del día, no he tenido motivación ni energía - pero a veces si he tenido energía - simplemente no lo he usado. El problema es que me he convencido de que fracasaría cualquier cosa que intenara.

Mein Urlaub
Ich hatte eine Reise im Jahr 2008 mit meinen Großeltern. Wir haben in Italien gegangen, zum Dorf meiner Großmutter. Es hat viel Spaß gemacht!
Dort habe ich zwei itelienisch Cousinen gekannt, weil meine Großmutter ist italienisch und ich habe dort Familie. Ich habe diese Familie nicht nie gekannt.
Ich habe die Chance für viele Freunde gemacht. Außerdem in diesem Moment war im Sommer und das Wetter war sehr schön! Wir sind in einen nahe See gegangen, und habe ich dort gebadet und bin geschwommen.
Die Erinnerung auf diesem Urlaub macht mich glücklich.

Meine Nachbarschaft
Ich lebe in Philadelphia (in Amerika). Meine Nachbarschaft heißt "Powelton Village." Es steht in einem größeren Bezirk, der heißt "University City" weil es viele Universitäte in der Umgebung gibt. Im Somer ist er ruhiger, da alle Studenten zu Hause sind. Die Strassen und Häuser sind sehr schön. Ebenfalls gibt es viele Kirchen hier. Aus meinen beiden Fenstern kann ich eine Kirche sehen. Die linke Kirche ist aus Stein und ist schöner. Ich spaziere gerne durch die Universitäte, insbesondere wann die Sonne fällt.

Un posto tranquillo
Alcuni giorni fa, ero a casa dei miei nonni. È un posto lontano da casa mia ma che mi piace molto perché ci sono molti alberi, uccelli ed altri animali bellissimi. Vado lì per nutrire gli animali, perché i miei nonni non possono più andare là per colpa del coronavirus.
Sono veramente felice in posti come quello. Vedere la natura porta un sentimento così buono, che mi fa voler vivere una vita tranquilla tra la foresta, senza preoccuparmi della città.
Purtroppo non ho mai avuto l'opportunità per visitare una grande foresta, ma ho già visitato alcuni posti simili meravigliosi prima, e spero di conoscere altri.
Mi ricordo anche di vederi delle immagini di laghi in Europa, dove ho scoperto una piccolina e fantastica vila chiamata Hallstatt in Austria, che mi sembra uno dei luoghi più bello del mondo.
