Are there more natural ways to say the lines below?
I'd like to speak English more naturally and not the way you would find in a textbook. 🙇‍♂️
It's alright if you even change an entire sentence!!

I think there are certain behaviors that are acceptable if done by a woman that I think is beautiful, but not if done by a woman that I don't think is beautiful. For example, if a beautiful woman brought something to my house every day, I would be very happy, but if someone who isn't brought something to my house every day, I might feel annoyed. I thought this is lookism, and I thought this is a dangerous thought.
In this world, we provide good service to those who pay us, but not to those who don't. In the same way, I can be more tolerant of people who heal my eyes in return, and I can be more kind than usual to them. But money is the right of any person to have, but beauty is largely a factor that each person is born with. It is discrimination that determines whether a person receives the service or not based on their natural factors, so to speak, luck.
At any rate, I think lookism is a dangerous ideology, but I can't imagine how it can be completely eliminated from my mind. If there is a way to eliminate this idea, please tell me that.

a: Do you buy lottery tickets?
b: I don't. Do you?
a: I sometimes buy scratch tickets! The prize money is very expensive in the U.S, right?
b: How much is it in Japan?
a: It's not scratch, but in Japan, the highest prize ever is about 50 million dollars, I guess. But I heard before that the prize money in the US is 3 billion dollars. It's a dreamy story. It is the best proof that luck exists.


It's difficult. I don't understand it at all. Is this really a question for elementary school students?


That happened to me too.

私にも同じことがあった

Something like that happened to me too.

私にも同じようなことがあった

I think the famous donut shop in Japan is Mister Donut or Krispy Kreme.
Which do you prefer?
It depends on the day. But I don't buy either by myself. I usually get them from someone. But if I were to buy one myself, I would choose Krispy Kreme when I want something rich and filling, and I would choose Miss Donut when I want a regular donut. I more get Misdo because they have more stores in Japan than Krispy Kreme.
In Japan, Mister Donut is called Misdo for short.

B: idk if I can stay up that long, I’m getting kinda tired lol
What time did you wake up?
A: Omg💀 if I go to bed now, *you’ll be that guy! You ready for this?(pic) I woke up a bit before 7am!
B: I hope not💀💀
wow that’s early😭I’m on summer break
A: Ohhh I’m jealous🥺 are you planning to go somewhere for summer?
B: I was gonna travel to Belgrade but then I got scared because of that monkeypox virus going around so I didn’t💀 but originally I was gonna go to Japan if the borders opened up but they didn’t so I decided on Belgrade instead. But now I’m just going to bars around here lmao
What are your plans this summer?
A: Nothing interesting. Just studied English💀💀 I hope you get to go to those places someday! Do you like bars?
B: LMFAOOOOO good job tho!!😭🫶🏼 I hope so too! Ty! And no not really I just like to drink lol
A: Thankyou!
What kind of alcohol do you like?
B: Mostly white wine and sometimes vodka with red bull I like mixing them together😂 what about u
A: Ohh vodka with redbull sounds good! Lol I don’t drink at all.😅 I mean sometimes I do but it depends on the situation or mood but I try to avoid it as much as possible😬 When I do drink it’s only drinks that look like juice, like Kahula and milk or whiskey and coke so people tease me for it and call me “gay”🙄😂 it’s so dumb considering how diverse the world has gotten🥲 (I’m not gay btw😂)
B: it’s so good you can barely taste the vodka the more redbull you add and you still get the same effect!😂
why’d they call you gay tho it’s not weird to not like drinking😭 oh I hate whiskey so much how can you drink it😖 Also what’s Kahlua?
A: Hahaha that’s nice! Because I don’t drink strong booze, and Kahlua and milk is the most “girly drink”🙄😂
That’s probably because it had Coke in it. It mostly just tastes like Coke. Idk how to say it in English, but I guess it’s like Vodka with Redbull! It tastes almost like coke
It’s a coffee liqueur. Kahlua and milk is like sweet coffee milk. Sweet and tasty
B: Ohhh omg I thought so at first bc Kahlua sounds a bit like the word coffee in arabic I was like how did he know that😳
A: Omg, you’re amazing! I just realized!!! You can speak 3 languages!!😲😲😲 Give me a language😭🤲

B: Ohh what prefecture are you from?

I just woke up btw💀💀
A: I live in Saitama Prefecture!
I'll try it!haha But I don't really like swimming pools, so I've never been a swimming pool facility nearby.💀💀
Is there a beach near where you live?
Already?! Will you be able to sleep early today?haha
B: I want to go!
Oh that’s too bad😩I think the reason I like swimming pools might be bc I did swimming before for some time lol
yeahh there are a lot of beaches near the place I live the closest one is like 25-30mins away but I don’t even go there bc it’s too crowded and not that clean💀but the other ones are good.
Hahahshshs it’s already 2pm I didn’t sleep at all lol I might sleep like anytime soon💀when did you wake up?
A: Please come!
Ohhh, I feel u! I love the seas where it's clean and uncrowded! You too?
If you keep doing that, you're gonna end up like this!(pic)
B: Yes! One day!
For sure!! But I don’t like tanning at all because it hurts me so bad for a whole week😭does that happen to you too? HAHAHAHA wait I know this movie💀💀
Yesterday I woke up at 7 (pm) And just ate breakfast like it was still morning 💀
A: I used to love tanning, so whenever I went to the beach, I'd always burn myself. But every time I got too sunburned, I got a fever of about 39 degrees Celsius, my skin peeled off and turned white, oh yellow?haha and that's it all. So I gave up.
Oh, really? It must be me or you in the future.💀Keep it up and maybe someday it'll be time for a real breakfast.💀💀
B: Omggg💀💀Exactly what happens to me lol and my skin is so sensitive to the sun so if I stay too long in the sun some small pimples start to appear on my arms and then just disappear at night it’s so weird💀Fr😭
HAHAHAHA it won’t be that soon at this rate💀
A: Hahah Interesting. I think people like us are more likely to get deceases from sun burn, so be careful to us. haha
It must be some kind of prophecy.💀
You should stay up for another three hours! That would be the same as going to bed really early!

The woman I admire most | part 2

When her parents died, they left her a rich inheritance. In 1931, Glessner Lee endowed with money she got the Harvard Department of Legal Medicine. Because the forensic field was dominated by men, Lee had to find a way to stand out amongst them. A great idea grew inside her mind – crafting tiny replicas of real crime scenes in order to help detectives examine clues in cases of unexplained deaths. Lee used these dollhouses in training lectures she gave police officers on crime scene forensics. The series of dioramas are known as The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. During her lectures, the students were instructed to analyze every detail of a scene, every suspicious subject in the room, dubious position of the victim and after that, they had to draw conclusions from the visual evidence. It was an effective way to show to young students how they can distinguish a murder from suicide, and sometimes it did not depend by position of the victim, but the furnishing in the room (the way things were put and such, not sure if it’s right).
Frances showed interest in teaching police officers who has already worked because they were first who arrived at the crime scene, so they had to be attentive to find and save the clues, which are so needful for crime investigation. Whilst most of police officers unwittingly complicated the process of investigation by touching subjects, moving them from place to place, interpreting incorrectly the clues. Lee was also interested in improving contact between medical assessores, police officers, investigators and prosecutors. Her courses were considered to be the best for training detectives in US.

Der folgende Text ist eine Antwort zu einer Kommentar darüber, wie die Internet unsere persönliche Beziehungen verändert.

Ich stimme zu, dass persönliche Treffen nicht das gleiche Wert als Kontakte im Internet haben. Viele würden meine Meinung mitteilen, dass deine Freunde in die Augen sehen und sich umarmen viel besser für Menschen sind.
Aber ich finde es falsch, dass persönliche Treffen immer seltener sind.
Am wenigstens glaube ich, wegen der Internet nicht ist, sondern der Fall, dass wir in einer Wettweberbära leben. Neue Forderungen unseren Zeiten und die Veränderungen der Gesellschaft Lebensstille machen uns immer wegger von einander zu sein.

Liebe María,

Wie geht es dir? Ich erinnere mich, dass du eine stärke Grippe die letzte Woche hast und deshalb zu meiner Geburtstagsparty nicht gekommen bist. Ich weiß, wie schlecht am Bett zu bleiben ist und hoffe, dass du dich schon besser fühlst.
Es ist schlecht, dass du nicht mit uns warst, weil die Party super geil war! Unsere Freunde haben eine Überraschung geplant und hat mein Lieblingslied gesungen. Deswegen, dass sie alle Musikerfahrung haben, klang das Lied ausgezeichnet. Es hat mich zufrieden gemacht.
Nicht nur haben sie ein Lied vorbereitet, sondern auch haben viele Geschenke gebracht! Erinnerst du dich an dieses unbekannte Buch, das ich dir einmal genannt habe? Franco hat es gefunden und hat es mir geschenkt. Ich kann es nicht glauben!
Ich muss dir über viele Sachen sprechen, die an diese Nacht passiert haben und ich dir in einem Email nicht schreiben kann. Bitte sag mir wenn du dich erholst und frei bist.

Ich schicke dir eine Umarmung,
Mauro

How to Make People Angry - 裏切り / Betrayal

People unconsciously expect certain responses from others, and in this technique, you will learn how to betray those expectations and make people angry.
In this skit, one guy asks a stranger for directions, and when the stranger kindly tries to help and starts talking, the guy keeps interrupting with the phrase "Shut up."
This situation is quite baffling.
Why would you use this technique on a kind stranger who is trying to help you?

They even created two identical skits with different pairs of actors.
There is also a derivative technique called "ていチョップ / Tei Chop."

Informal email 3

Hi Pepito,
It's been a while! How are you doing? Thanks for your last email. I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I've had a lot on. Much as I'd like to tell you about what I've been up to lately, I had to help my father with the shop. By the way, Are you still looking for a new house? If so, I've just found an offer on a website where I'm a member. It's reliable, trust me; my aunt bought her house here four years ago. If I were you, I would immediately take a look, seeing that there are a lot of people keeping an eye all the time. Well, I must go now. I have to go to bed early, as I'm having a job interview tomorrow.
Love,
Sergio

Today is day 201 of my daily English writing challenge. Yesterday I listened to a video in English. She spoked about how to creat another version and to achieve your goals in our life. They are many words that I didn't understand and I need to look in up in the dictionary. In my opinion, it's good method to improve when we want to learn a new language.

Els meus somnis

Sempre tinc somnis molt estranys amb i detallats. Normalment, m'espanten i contenen zombis, fantasmes o persones que volen matar-me.

M'encantaria tenir un somni en què volés o explorés un món màgic, però això passa amb molt poca freqüència.

Quan era petita tenia un somni recurrent en què hi havia una rata enorme, tan gran com un bus de dos pisos, que volia menjar-me i els meus amics. Passàvem tot el somni intentant evitar-la. Però al final va arribar una inundació i havíem de muntar la rata per a escapar-la.

Día 171 de mi reto

Hoy es el día 171 de mi reto de español. ¿ Quiero saber la diference entre voy a ir y voy a irme?

Un altro giorno

Ho già camminato quasi 5000 passi, ho fatto una breve passeggiata intorno al parco ( che si trova vicino a me ) prima di lavorare. Siccome è quasi la fine della settimana sono stanchissima e non vedo l'ora di finirla. Il mio programma cambia di mese in mese, quindi il prossimo mese lavorerò dalle tre e mezzo fino a mezzanotte, potrò studiare e fare una passeggiata durante la mattina.

Sto bevendo un caffè caldo mentre guardo uno stream sul canale Youtube di Rai 1. Lo stream si tratta di varie notizie dal mondo. Il conduttore del programma parla di diverse persone che hanno visitato molti Paesi. Ieri ho visto uno stream in cui ci mostravano l'attentato dell'11 settembre 2001, giorno dell'attentato negli Stati Uniti. Anche parlava dei vigili del fuoco che hanno aiutato in quel terribile giorno.

Non prestavo attenzione qualche minuto fa e ho rovesciato un po' di caffè su me. Credo che sia uno di quei giorni in cui ( quasi ) tutto va storto.

C'è la possibilità che oggi farò le pulizie dopo finirò il mio turno. Ovviamente mi rilasserò prima di iniziare a lavorare. Ieri ho avuto voglia di una cola, fortunatamente l'ho bevuta la scorsa sera.

Domani incontreremo mia mamma, forse verremo da lei perché la casa sua è vicina. Abita a due passi da qui e inoltre, si sente ancora stanca dopo il viaggio.

La giornata è ancora lunga, però continuerò a lavorare con tutte le mie forze.

L’euthanasie

L’euthanasie est un sujet d’actualité. Elle est légale dans plusieurs pays européens, nombreux états aux États-Unis et certains états ici en Australie. En Australie, les grands états comme Victoria, Queensland et la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud ont déjà introduits les lois permettant l’euthanasie. Cependant, l’état dans lequel je vis, l’euthanasie est illégal. Néanmoins, en ce moment, il y a une proposition en cours d’examen à ce sujet et il me semble que l’euthanasie gagnerait le soutien de l’opinion publique.

Alors, que est ce que c’est l’euthanasie ? C’est également connu sous le nom de mort volontaire assisté. Les lois qui les sous-tendent sont très strictes, très étroites. En gros, les critères sont les suivants. Il faut que le patient est un adulte de dix huit ans ou plus. Il doit être mentalement capable et comprendre pleinement ce qu’il fait.

En Australie, les médecins sont interdits d’assister au processus : il est nécessaire que le patient s’administre lui-même la dose létale : injection ou comprimés. Le critère le plus important dont je veux parler maintenant est le niveau de souffrance du patient. Le patient doit soit avoir une maladie très grave et n’a que 6 mois à vivre, soit souffre de douleurs immenses sans possibilité de guérison. Il faut que ce soit basé de l’avis du médecin.

En ce moment, le débat continue fortement et sans surprise, il existe plusieurs avis : le pour et le contre. D’une manière ou d’une autre, il faut considérer des aspects moraux, sociaux et juridiques.

Le Jour premièr de mon écriture

Trois semaines avant aujourd'hui j'ai commencé à apprendre la langue française. Dans ma courte expérience je réalise que le français est une langue belle et musicale. Mais c'est différent de langues J'ai eu l'habitude de parler. Le français a beaucoup de éléments que je ne comprends pas encore. Et c'est très difficile pour une débutante comme moi. Malgré tout, j'adore le français et je suis très fasciné par lui. Alors j'ai décidé d'essayer écrire à français. C'est ma tentative premièr.

A l'université

J'étais aujourd'hui à l'université. J'ai eu deux cours, le premier, c'était économique-politique ; après-midi, j'ai eu paléographie. Dans la récré à midi, j'ai déjeuné avec une amie pendant qu'on regardait un film. Finalement, je suis arrivé à la maison à 7 heures nuit.
