Concern Right Now Is The High Actvity of Solar Flares
I'm going to run in the Fukuoka Marathon in 30 days.
As the temperature has become lower and lower, it's much more confortable to run.
When I'm losing weight, it's very tough to run a long distance. I feel as though I'm running out of battery. I feel I have hypoglycemia attack.
When I eat much, I can run longer distance, although I gain weight by 1-2 kilograms.
I need to lose 10 kilograms more in order to get the aimed record, so it's a dillenma and a challenge. But I enjoy it.
I don't feel any knee pains or hip pains, and I think my mental and phsical health condition is rather good.
My biggest concern right now is the higher activity of the solar flares.
They say it affects the accuracy of GPS (Global Positioning System).
I totally rely on my excercise and races on Garmin smartwatch, Forerunner 265.
If GPS doesn't work well and give me the wrong information of my running speed, distance, etc., it would be fatal.
For example, they say that I should practice running in the rain as the training in case of the rainy day official race.
Likewise, I should do my excercise without wearing the smartwatch, Yoda might say:
"Let go, Luke! You should rely on your instinct!"

Japanese Saying "情けは人の為ならず"
There is a Japanese saying, 情けは人の為ならず. This means: If you come across someone in need, you had better help them, because it will pay off in the future. Generally, we should be merciful to others as much as we can. However, the meaning of this proverb has recently changed to the exact opposite. Namely, we should avoid helping others without considering whether your help will really benefit them. For example, there is a possibility that your help may cause them to put in less effort or become less active, so we had better let them deal with the problem on their own. In Japan, we've become a cruel world. I heard a Turkish proverb that goes, “Do good and throw it into the sea. If the fish don’t know it, god will."I prefer this.

Los algoritmos
¿Cuánto tiempo cree que durarán las redes sociales? No soy el único que lo ha percibido, pero las redes sociales han dado un giro a peor. Dejé las redes sociales hace unos años, pero últimamente he estado leyendo artículos y libros sobre la «enshittificación» de Internet, un término utilizado inicialmente para describir el deterioro de los productos y servicios en línea, pero que ahora se utiliza de forma general. Los algoritmos de las redes sociales son cada vez peores y muestran contenidos que provocan a muchos usuarios, lo que provoca enfados entre los sitios. Esto puede afectar a la salud mental de los usuarios, pero es difícil salir debido a lo adictivas que pueden llegar a ser estas plataformas. Creo que es importante tomarse descansos de vez en cuando y pasar tiempo con la familia y los amigos.

Pottery workshop
Today I with my friend go to a pottery workshop. This experience was first in our life. We did glasses on a circle. My friend do straight glass, above the ears and drew a frog. I drew a goldfish and printed small fish. Do you know which animal the happiest? It is a goldfish. Do you know why? Because it has memory for a 10 second. This point said Erich Maria Remarque: if you want to be forever young, learn to let go.
I knew this in a serial Ted Lasso, I recommend you, this is so optimistic!

Notre pire enemi
Quoi qu'il arrive notre pire enemi restera toujours nous mêmes, mais qu'est-ce que cela veut dire? Ce "nous mêmes" fait réference à notre mentalité pour être plus précis notre facon de voir la monde et notre réaction vers l'adversité. Je dirais qu'envrion 90 à 95 pourcent de nos problémes vient de nous c'est à dire les situations comme on voit comme des problémes. Certes c'est plus facile à dire qu'à faire mais si on ne permet pas aux brimages de nous affecter ils auraient aucune effet. Peu importe le dommage que notre corps subis rien est en capable de toucher notre esprit si on ne le laisse pas.

The Fifth Step to Improving my Academic Writing
How I can reference properly? I was a little surprised when I was reading about several referencing systems that require their own rules for compiling an in-text citation or a bibliography and why breaking the rules by the students is unacceptable. Now I think that is an optimal technique for self-development. I want to clarify I never thought about that from the point of view of how the critical thinking is being formed. Using an essay-writing service start to become really popular in student community; however, that kind of cheating is caught anyway. So, if the student is liable for his own future, he has to follow the rules of the university. The first step to do it is look at guidelines or talk to teacher and find out which referencing system is used: Modern Language Association, Modern Humanities Research Association, Oscola, Harvard author-date systems and etc. The second step is that mixing those systems are inappropriate. The third step is that every quotation and an in-text citation have to be match with references. Following those rules will help not to forget about paraphrase, direct quotation and footnotes, what helps better understanding which your own thought is and which is not as well.

手紙のマーナについて聞きたいこと
（ちょっと長くなりましたので、書き直さずに質問に答えてもOKです！）
日本にいる友達へ手紙を手で書きたいんですが、日本語では手紙どころかEメールさえ書いたことがありませんので、ちょっと気になっています。
もしよろしければ、質問を二つ聞きたいと思います。
→→ その一：宛名の位置について
Googleで探しましたが、確認したいことです。宛名はどこに書けばいいですか？
＊いくつかの例は「〇〇様」から始まります（たとえば：〇〇様｜拝啓 ｜挨拶｜主文）
＊大抵の例は「〇〇様」を書かずに、「拝啓」から始まります。（〇〇様などは手紙にはなくて封筒に書くだそうです）
どちらの方が普通ですか？どちらでもオッケーですか？場合によりますかな？
→→ その二：敬称について
Googleしたら「様は目上・目下、年上・年下に関わらず使えます」のようなことが書いてありますが、受取人はかつての教え子です。普通に話す時は「くん」で呼びますので、「さま」を書くのはちょっと可笑しく思います。
で、手紙は「さま」に決まっていますか？「さん」や「くん」を使う場合もありますか？

Meine Herausforderung mit dem Lesen auf Deutsch
Heute beginne ich dieses Buch, "Short Stories in German for Beginners," von Olly Richards und Alex Rawlings. Ich habe Angst, weil ich kenne nicht viele Wörter auf Deutsch. Normalerweise lese ich solche Bücher auf Englisch und Französisch. Es ist natürlich für mich, aber Deutsch ein bisschen schwer ist. Dennoch möchte ich mein Sprachniveau im Deutschen verbessern.

Mercoledì 9 ottobre
Mi sono svegliata prima del solito e ho fatto una breve passeggiata. Fortunatamente il tempo era bello e sono riuscita a fermarmi per un bel po' su una panchina riflettendo al futuro.
A volte è necessario essere consapevoli di quanto velocemente passi il tempo e avere fiducia in noi stessi.
Ho finito ieri sera il libro che leggevo nelle ultime settimane, ne inizierò un altro subito.
Siamo tutti delusi al lavoro. Tutti i miei colleghi pensano che andrà peggio d'ora in poi.
Siamo a metà settimana e sono già alla frutta. Mi servirebbe una lunghissima vacanza per riprendermi. Spero di andarci in una alla fine dell'anno, per iniziare il prossimo alla grande.

初めの投稿・考え事
私がこのサイトのアカウントを登録したのは二月前ものことだ。ところが、それから一度も投稿をしなかった。なぜかと言うと、ずっと作文でミスを犯すのを怖がっていた、というわけだ。実は、私は生まれつきの完璧主義者で他の人が自分の作ったものをどう考えるか、ということにけっこう気を使っている。そして作文のテーマを決めるのも多岐亡羊のようで、かなり苦しんでいる。
しかし、今日のある事をきっかけに、私はLangCorrectに作文を投稿すると意を決した。そのきっかけは藤本著の「ルックバック」の、最近海外で公開したアニメ版を見たということだ。正直言って、今日までは「ルックバック」という映画については一度も聞いたことがなかったが、友達に誘われて見に行こうかなと思った。そして、この映画を見てけっこう感動して、その結果今この作文を書いている。
ここでは映画の内容には詳しく触れないが、映画館を出た時は「今までの努力はまだ足りない。もっと真剣に頑張らなきゃ」と思った。この映画は私にとってかなり印象的だったようだ。
実は、日本語で小説を読めるようになった以来、私はずっと文章自体に興味を持ってきた。そして今、上手く書ける作家を大いに尊敬している。
「まあ、いつかそのように書けるといいなぁ」とでも思っている。
しかし、何々ができればいいねと考えてばかりいて何もしようとしないでは良い結果になるわけがないだろう。そうしていては酔生夢死の生き方に過ぎないと私は思う。そのような人生をもう送りたくない。
ところで、「夢は追わないと叶わない」と、ある放送で聞いたことがある。これはかなり前のことだが、この言葉は今も残っている。そして今日映画を見てこのセリフがもう一度蘇った。
実は、ミスを犯すことなどは何の恐る必要がない。そもそも、どんな達人でも間違えることがある。猿も木から落ちるのではないだろうか。それに、ミスを犯すことは上達への第一歩とでも言えるだろう。つまり、ミスを犯さないと上達できない。これはだいぶ前から知っているが、ずっと自分の心配や悩みに負けていた。
そこで今日、その映画を見たことでまさに目から鱗が落ちた。友達に誘われて本当に良かった。友達に誘われたのは極めてありがたいことだ。私は今から勉強にいっそう励む、と意を決した。
もっと書きたい。
もっと話したい。
もっと練習しなければならない。
そしてもしかしたら、いつか私は、ずっと夢のまた夢のように見えた願いが叶うかもしれない。
いや。
その願いを叶える、かもしれない。
どうぞフィードバックしてください。これからよろしくお願いいたします。

うめあめ
昨日、「梅雨」という言葉を習いました。またAnkiのおかげでした。「梅」と「雨」の漢字がもう遠くから知っていますが、なぜか「つゆ」を聞くと漢字の「梅雨」がすぐに思いつきません。理由はたぶん「梅」を「つ」と読んで、「雨」を「ゆ」と読むのがまだ慣れてないかもしれません。
言葉が簡単に覚えられないと、覚えやすくなる方法がいっぱいですね。その一つは、言葉の漢字の一つずつの読み方を覚えて、その読み方を一言にいうってことです。例えば、「つゆ」の漢字を「うめあめ」と思えば、「梅雨」がすぐに思いつくんでしょ。子供っぽいな覚え方ですが、まあ、私の日本語力は子供と同じぐらいなので子供の覚え方が逆によく利くんじゃないかなと思います。
外国語の言葉を覚えやすくさせたいと、どんな方法を使いますか？気になります。
では、良い夕べを！

A little Thought
I recently hiked to three mountain villages and stayed overnight in two of them.
All of these villages are beautiful and unique, and I like them very much, but I found a small different point and I've been thinking a lot about it in the last few days.
It's about the people living in the village, their attitudes, and the atmosphere I felt as a traveler.
In the first village (you can see it in this video: https://youtu.be/ELnP2vcdWmM), I had a conversation with the owner of a hostel and talked to the owner of a cafe. Both of them negatively discussed the tasks they needed to complete for the business. For example, they had to stay at home and work during the holidays.
In the second village (you can see it in this video: https://youtu.be/Nd3ZLpyPd5A), I chatted with the lady who owned the homestay where we were staying. She was so proud of her clean house, nice food, and even the fresh vegetables she planted. When we told her the dinner she and her husband had made for us was amazing and delicious, she was happy but quiet.
In the third village (https://youtu.be/n_Ry7BCTJxY), we stayed in an old house built in the Qing dynasty. The B&B family had four people. The older woman prepared delicious local food for us and she was constantly busy from the moment we arrived until we departed. While the other three were just hanging out. I could feel the fatigue on her face and our chat, and my hike friends complained about the B&B for being a little dirty.
The fun thing was that the conversations corresponded to the comments I heard about the three villages: the first one was nice but a little too business, the second one was great and wanted to go again, the third one had beautiful views but a little mess.
I think there is Fengshui in business, family, and even a person. It's about one's attitude and relationships between people and their surroundings.
