Regret For The Rest Of Life
A beautiful woman once said that beauty was a burden. Of course, to keep beautiful all the time is a burden, but it's the one that many women wish they had.
An old flame is a burden, too. This is a burden that most women have. Why do we call them a burden? You have to look beautiful at all times, and be prepared to run into your old flame on the street one day.
A girl wrote to me, saying that she happened to be wearing an old dress and a pair of worn shoes that day, and her stockings were just torn. She had just run out of oil blotting paper in her purse, and her face was covered with oily sweat. Just then, all of a sudden, she brushed against her old flame. She tried to pretend that she didn't see him, but he saw her.
She did not love him any more, and since she did not love him, she could not bear him to see her in this terrible state. She kept blaming herself. When meeting old lover again, she should let him see her much more beautiful than before to make him miss her, she said.
Yes, she was right. Every woman wants the old flame to regret. Every woman imagines a moment when meeting the old flame again, he rekindles desire while looking at her in the eye, and then she loftily rejects him.
We have to keep beautiful in case of meeting our old flame. We must never allow ourselves to be ugly or fat. Even if we become old, we must not become older than him. You don't necessarily get to run into him twice. If you are not ready the first time, you may regret for the rest of your life. We have to keep beautiful to make him regret.

L'économie collaborative : essai
Aujourd’hui, l’économie collaborative est devenue une partie essentielle de notre monde. Comme le révèle une étude de PwC réalisée à la demande de la Commission européenne, ce secteur devrait multiplier sa valeur par 20 d’ici 2025, atteignant ainsi 570 milliards d’euros. En plus de cette immense somme, le secteur affecte également de manière importante le comportement des consommateurs.
L’un des secteurs les plus importants à participer dans l’économie collaborative est certainement l’hébergement. Les plate-formes telles que Booking.com et Airbnb ont totalement bouleversé l’ancienne façon de faire les choses tout en démocratisant le monde de l’accommodation. Maintenant, tout le monde peut mettre son logement en location : plus besoin de posséder un grand hôtel ou une villa au bord de la mer pour accueillir des hôtes. Cette démocratisation du marché du logement entraîne également une concurrence davantage importante, ce qui implique aussi des prix moins chers pour le consommateur. La baisse des prix n’est quand même pas la seule raison pour laquelle le consommateur privilégie les Airbnb aux hôtels : le fait de vivre dans un appartement « normal » permet au touriste de ne pas se sentir comme tel en lui offrant une possibilité de s’immerger dans le cadre de vie d’un habitant de la ville qu’il visite.
L’hébergement n’est pourtant pas le seul secteur de l’économie affecté par la croissance des plate-formes collaboratives. Il en est ainsi également pour la livraison de nourriture à domicile, service proposé par de nombreuses applications telles que Wolt, Bolt Food et Uber Eats. L’avantage qu’offre ces dernières est clair : en commandant sur une de ces plate-formes, le client aura un bon repas déjà préparé tout en restant dans le confort de son salon. Bien qu’il soit possible de commander de la nourriture d’un restaurant depuis longtemps, c’est le fait qu’ils n’ont plus à aller à l’établissement pour la récupérer qui plait aux consommateurs. Ce confort est, bien sûr, cher payé. Les plate-formes ajoutent des frais de service, auxquels s’ajoutent les prix majorés des restaurants qui ne manquent pas non plus l’opportunité de demander un prix plus cher pour le même produit. Cette pratique de monter les prix peut, en effet, faire reconsidérer le choix du consommateur d’utiliser les applications de livraison de nourriture ou même de manger au restaurant.
Il est évident que la croissance de la part de marché de l’économie collaborative a changé et continuera de changer le comportement des consommateurs. Les services de l’économie de partage les plus utilisés sont l’hébergement et la livraison de nourriture à domicile. Pour l’hébergement, les principales raisons pour lesquelles le consommateur choisit l’économie de partage sont les prix moins chers et le sentiment d’immersion dans le cadre de vie réelle de la ville qu’il visite. En revanche, quant à la livraison de nourriture à domicile, l’utilisation est principalement motivée par le confort. Le consommateur peut justement être découragé par les prix plus chers qu’entraîne l’utilisation de ces applications. Finalement, il est clair que les raisons qui poussent le consommateur à participer dans l’économie de partage sont très différentes et varient selon le service spécifique qu’utilise le client.

Je serais très reconnaissant de tout autre retour sur mon essai en plus d'éventuelles corrections ! Ce n'est que la deuxième fois que j'écris un essai en français et il se peut qu'un français ait une idée très différente d'à quoi devrait ressembler un bon essai. De plus, j'ai l'impression que ce n'est pas nécessairement le meilleur texte que j'ai jamais écrit vu que je l'ai fait à l'aéroport sans avoir dormi pendant plus de 24h...

Long Vacation
In my opinion, the real luxury in adulthood is a long vacation. When we were still in school, we had vacations in summer and winter. But when we start to work, most of us cannot even take a whole week's leave in our 9-5 job. In Taiwan, employees have 7 days of paid leave a year in their first year at a company. For those with more than ten years of service, one additional day is granted for each year, up to a maximum of thirty days. However, when you change jobs, everything resets to zero. I read a news report that said compared to Japan and Korea, we have far fewer paid leaves. I believe that's why working as a freelancer sounds like a dream come true for many people. We all have moments when we want to take a long trip or just rest for a period of time from work, but reality does not allow us to do that. If companies could offer longer paid leave for employees, it might prevent them from burning out and creating better work-life balance.

今日の慣用表現（４）；「後ろ髪を引かれる」と「頭から」
「幾千の視線～に沿って、螺旋～を描く～途切れそうな定め（さだめ）でも、、、。」
「律、何歌っているの？私はその歌詞は聴いたことがないんだから！」
「「Re;ゼロから始める異世界生活」のアニメの新しいオープニングテーマだ。頭から離れないよ。」
「そうだね。ちょっと待って、異世界というアニメを見るのが嫌いなんじゃない？なんでその曲は知っているの？」
「あ、錬金術師のせいだから。先月、あいつがそのアニメは新しい期がアップロードされることを見た時に、早く僕を見せてくれた。後ろ髪を引かれる思いで見たけど。」
「つまり、今まであの曲のサビが頭から離れないと言ってるの？おかしいね！」
「馬鹿にしないで！面倒くさいな、、、。」
どうでしたか？あと少しで、毎日の読書することを続けられる！それで、これ以上に上達すると思う。で、読んでくれてありがとうございました！

Venerdì 19 luglio
Per fortuna è venerdì, non vedo l'ora di finire il turno e rilassarmi. Ieri non mi sono sentita bene dopo aver finito il turno. Ero troppo stanca mentalmente e mi è occorsa qualche ora per riprendermi.
Ho prenotato alcune lezioni d'italiano per agosto, non vedo l'ora di parlare di nuovo in italiano con l'insegnante. Mi aiuta molto e mi ha detto che la prossima volta avrei dovuto parlare di più in italiano.
Ieri dopo aver cenato, ho fatto le pulizie per iniziare il weekend alla grande. Non so perché preferisco farle durante la settimana lavorativa. Forse perché così mi libero delle faccende e posso avere più tempo per me stessa.
Qualsiasi cosa succeda, questo weekend spero di rilassarmi un po'. Mi dimentico sempre del mio tempo libero. Lavoro molto e soprattuto studio molto, mi merito una piccola pausa.
Se avessi più energie, farei di tutto oggi, ma dopo la giornata di ieri, credo di fare le faccende una alla volta.

A plan for weekend
It has been extremely hot in Shanghai recently, so I have decided to cancel my hiking plan for tomorrow.
How hot is it? Well, there's an insect called cicada here. Normally, the cicadas make high sounds at noon on hot days. But yesterday, I fell asleep in the cicadas' sounds at midnight.
Anyway, I decided to cycle along the Huangpu River again tomorrow morning because of the weather. The earlier the better, the best time is to start the ride before sunrise.
I hope I can wake up before 5:00 AM tomorrow!

18.7.24
¿Mis frases parecen normál o natural? Porque … como, yo siento que me parecen bien, una persona que no es nativa. Y cuando (puede utilizar como “as”? en este caso) consumo cosas comprensibles, como videos de Dreaming Spanish, mis frases parecen bien. Y entiendo que yo solo entiendo los vídeos novices (para novices?) porque los otros son muy rápidos para yo comprender. Por lo tanto, no tengo más vídeos difíciles a comparar con mi conciencia. Necesito más experiencias.
Solo necesito realmente estudiar vocabulario, porque me encuentro, muy a menudo, buscando palabras que no sé. Ahora … ¡voy a estudiar EL SUBJUNTIVO! ¿Finalmente, sí? Después como, una semana.
Espero que yo visito (o es ese en la futura? ) mi papá este fin de semana porque hemos visto cada otro en un tiempo largo. (Esta frase es terrible T_T … me corrige) Pienso que entiendo el subjuntivo presente. ¿Debo aprender hoy el subjuntivo pasado? Pienso que debo. Pero esperaré aprender hasta mañana.

『地球市民』～チェン・イートンを讃えて思い
空の鳥はビザの必要がありません。
私たちもなぜ必要なのでしょうか？
海の魚はパスポートを必要としません。
なぜ人間が必要なのか？
空の鳥はビザを必要としない。
なぜ私たちが必要なのか？
土地を分割し、境界線を守るのは愚かなことです。
地球と空はすべての生き物に属しているのではありませんか？
国籍や信条にどんな価値がありますか？
人々はイデオロギーや信仰で分かれすぎており、自分たちの根源が基本的に同じであることを忘れています。
宇宙は一つの大いなる生命の一部です。
それを分割することは恥です。
*
デイビッド・シーヴキングの「David Wants to Fly」（2010年）は啓発的なドキュメンタリーでした。
それは超越瞑想運動が提唱するいくつかの不一致に光を当てています。
奇妙なことに、かつて私はその運動の主張の多くを信じていました。
今ではそれらはばかげて見えます。

Mes pensées sur la vidéo d'Easy French
Merci pour ta dernière vidéo sur les livres ! Franchement, je trouve que les Français lisent beaucoup de livres parce qu'il y avait beaucoup de libraires quand j'ai voyagé à Paris et à Lille. Il y avait beaucoup de gens qui veulent acheter des livres là-bas. Quand j'y suis allée, j'ai acheté trois livres en totale. J'en ai acheté deux à Lille et j'en ai acheté un à Paris.
Personnellement, j'adore lire des livres. Mon genre préféré, c'est de la fiction. Donc voilà.

Les cheveux
La coiffure peut faire des grandes choses pour notre apparence. Il y a tant de style qu'on peut essayer avec ses cheveux. On peut deviner la personalité de quelqu'un si on observe les petites signes les cheveux y compris. Par exemple on peut se dire que l'apparence est important à quelqu'un qui a toujours les cheveux coiffés. Quand j'étais gamine je m'en ficher de l'apparence mais maintenant je comprends qui sont important même si ça nous plait pas tout le monde à une image de nous dés qui nous voient. Je ne dise pas de stresser que l'autre pense de nous mais de comprendre que prendre soigne de son apparence est aussi bon pour nous mêmes.

Challenge myself with Ielts writing task 2 (18/07/2024)
I do not need an Ielts certificate for work, but I decided to challenge myself and you know what? I found out that, it was very hard and took me 2 hours to complete this essay. To be honest, if I write this essay in my native language, I will not definitely do it well.
Large businesses have big budgets for marketing and promotion and as a result, people gravitate towards buying their products. What problems does this cause? What could be done to encourage people to buy local products?
Nowadays, many big businesses have big funds for marketing and promotion and as a result, their customers gravitate to buying their products. In this essay, I will discuss what problems cause that and what could be done to encourage people to buy local products.
On the one hand, many big businesses have big funds for marketing and promotion, which causes some problems. Firstly, the quality of their products is reduced, which means that people using their products will be damaged usually and they will depress the products. Secondly, a lot of local companies will be faced with declining revenue, which causes many small companies to be less competitive and might be closed and the local economy would be delayed. When people gravitate toward purchasing the products of many big businesses, the local products are at risk of being forgotten, that not only affects the economy but it also causes loss of cultural identity.
On the other hand, to protect the local products, what local companies need is to build their brands efficiently. Firstly, They can use social media to spread the messages behind their products. For instance, if your product is chopsticks you can spread the message “chopsticks are made from natural bamboo stalks, good for health and environmental protection”. Secondly, the government needs to pay attention to policies to support the small local companies, such as tax reduction, finance and organizing fairs about local products.
Conclusion, many people gravitate to buying the products of big companies that affect not only the economy but also the quality of product and cultural identity. Therefore, it is essential to collaborate between the government, businesses, and consumers to protect and promote local brands. By doing that, we can ensure the sustainability and growth of local economies and preserve cultural identity.

How stress affects our body.
"It's not a life if there is no hurdle."
All we have been experiencing stress, especially when we're overwhelmed or challenged. Stress is hardwired physical response that travels throughout entire our body. In the short term, stress can be advantageous which helps improve our cognitive function. But if it occurs frequently, it can harm our body in a variety of ways.
To understand how stress occurs, it starts from the adrenal gland which is connected with the kidneys. When we're facing with a real seriously problem, adrenal gland will release stress hormones into the bloodstream, they are adrenaline, cortisol and norepinephrine.
As these hormones reached the heart, they make it beats faster, causing hypertension. And when stress becomes chronic, it may create some fatty plaques inside the vein which is called the early stage of atherosclerosis.
Simultaneously, these hormones reached our brain, making it send signals to the intestinal nervous system that you need more energy to get over the challenge. Then the stomach will release more digestive juice, causing butterflies and heartburn.
By the way, cortisol enhances our appetite, making us to crave high carbs and fatty food which cause other chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes,...
In general, stress can not be erase out of our body, we need to learn how to live with it and by somehow take advantage of its benefits. If you can curb and keep stress in control, in the short term you will perform better and in the long term you will live longer.

Mon itinéraire pour ce soir
Ce soir, je vais aller à un concert. Le concert est à Boston et les portes ouvertent à 19h. À 15h, je vais partir chez moi. Je vais voyager en voiture à la maison de mon frère. Le trajet dure deux heures. À 17:30h, mon frère va m'emmener à la station de métro à Alewife. Ensuite, je vais prendre la ligne rouge et je vais descendre à Harvard Square. La salle de spectacle est 3 minutes à pied de la station. Je suis très enthousiaste! Après le concert, je vais prends le métro à Alewife et mon frère va me chercher. Je vais passer la nuit chez lui et je vais rentrer chez moi dans le matin.

Giovedì 18 luglio
È quasi finita la settimana, non vedo l'ora che arrivi il weekend. Voglio davvero riposarmi questo weekend. Sabato mattina farò una passeggiata e poi ripasserò un po' d'italiano.
Ho già prenotato alcuni lezioni per agosto. Faccio ogni settimana gli esercizi che l'insegnante mi ha assegnato. Ne ho già fatti più di 10.
Non sono sicura quale sia il mio orario di lavoro ad agosto, ma spero che potrò pianificare meglio le cose.
È meglio raggiungere i propri obiettivi e non essere bloccati allo stesso livello, ma contemporaneamente mi manca il tempo libero.
Qualche ora fa ho parlato con un'amica e ci vedremo venerdì prossimo vicino a casa mia. Dopo aver concluso la settimana lavorativa, andremo al parco.
