Felicidades tempranos a mi esposa
El cumpleaños de mi esposa será éste martes. Va a cumplir veinte y siete años. Hoy fuimos a nuestra iglesia por la mañana y después fuimos a tres lugares.
Primero fuimos a la casa de la amiga de mi esposa. Ellos nos dijeron ayer que tenían un regalo para mi esposa pero irán a estar fuera de casa entonces la única oportunidad de obtenerlo fue ahora sí fuimos a su casa. Lo bueno es que su casa es en camino a nuestro otro destino. Mi esposa encantó sus regalos y yo tenía una experiencia buena con un perro nervioso.
Luego fuimos a la casa de unos conocidos de mi esposa para visitar con sus amigos de nuevo zealandia. Me gusta su acento y me hizo pensar que hay mucha gente que habla inglés en una manera extraña para mí. Su casa es bonito adentro y me hizo feliz visitar con las amigas de mi esposa. Estás in particular ayudaron a ella en un tiempo de necesidad en el pasado y estoy agradecido por su apoyo.
La última destinación fue la casa de mi suegra dónde miremos el Super Bowl. Tuvimos mucha comida rica. Mi esposa fue dado más regalos. Y salimos llenos de estómago y corazón.

Day 5 Journaling
Hi,
Today I am going to do my homework earlier in the morning because, like I said before, I want to spend time with my old grandparents 🙃
I also have to practice my English speaking skills in an app called Lingbe. I think it could be really useful for me because at school, never speak, even if it's a really important thing in the language learning. I'm always not really confident with this kind of app because I don't already know people with who I'll talk.
Yesterday, I was on the autoroute with my grandparents and my little brother and it was a really silly person 😕. He wanted to overtake we and he made a thing called "queue de poisson" ("fish tail"). It consists in overtake by the right even if it's forbidden...
It's very dangerous and we can have died if my grandfather wasn't attentive.
I think I have write enough.
Thanks !

Day 37: Exercising Again
Tomorrow (Monday in my country) I'm going to start exercising again. I couldn't exercise this week because I got a cold. But I now feel better. I'm saving money to buy weights. If I get into university, I'm not going to have neither the money nor the time to go to the gym regularly, so I will need a way to exercise in home. That's why I want to buy some weights.
Wish me luck!
What are some reasons to exercise for you? (I'm curious)

My Third Car
In 2017, my wife and I moved to another apartment in my city. This apartment was a little far from the place my wife worked in, about 5 kilometers away.
During summer and winter, the weather here was too hot and too cold. Riding an e bike to go to work and go back home was really a sufferance.
My wife told me that she wanted to buy a car for her to go to work. Because the car was only for going to work and going back home, so a small and cheaper car was enough.
After I looked for several small and cheaper cars, I thought the Chery 3 X SUV was suitable for her. This car has several different configurations, and I chose the expensive configuration. Although it was the top configuration, it only cost me a little more than 70,000 RMB.
Somehow, she didn't drive the Chery many times. I guess she may not be confident about driving cars. A few months later, my daughter-in-law started to drive that car going to work and going back home. Her work place was in the countryside, and was very far from the place she lived in.
After I bought the BMW that I mentioned in my second essay, I only drove it a few times before my son took it over. I had to drive the Passat that I mentioned in my first essay again in the past few years.

My Life in SZ (17) - Boss's Comments
Some of my colleagues' English was much more fluent than mine, even three of them passed TEM-8, which stands for English Majors-Band 8, and shows their English ability at a high level. It's not surprise for a university student to acquire a TEM-8 certificate nowadays, however, it was not the case in 1996.
Sister Wang asked Diana, "Why A-Ben's (They call me A-Ben) sales volume so high? His English is not the best, why do customers trust him?"
Another boss Diana answered, "I have noticed this recently, I think maybe there are three reasons.
First, he is patient and never stops chattering about the products and he seems informative to customers, which let them get some interesting stuff to think about.
Second, His English is not the best, and with a strong local accent, yet it's acceptable because all of us have a different level of accent. The customers can understand his words.
Third, he wears a pair of myopia glasses with a big black frame, which let him look very honest."
As time passed, some of us including me gradually come to realize why my boss - sister Wang had warned us that we would feel bored in some extent if we worked here over three months.

La culture des adolescents
Avec toutes les générations, il y a toujours un parti du peuple qui dirige la culture actuelle: les adolescents. Ils décident ce qu'il est à la mode ou pas. Les jeunes possèdent une vraie puissance mondiale, bien qu'elle change à l'instant. On voit un changement de la facilité de la création de tendances. Les jeunes peuvent créer, partager, et éliminer les tendances plus vite que jamais. Les réseaux sociaux pose une nouvelle complexité à la culture. Au lieu d'avoir les traditions fondées à la société, il y a les engoument de la semaine. Ce nouvel ajoutement au monde n'est ni bon ni mauvais. Ce n'est qu'une différence remarquable.

My Second Car
My second car
In 2014, my son ended a job in Hangzhou and returned to my home city. He was in his twenties back then. According to Chinese tradition, that age was supposed to find a girlfriend. In order to find a girlfriend early for him, I gave the Passat to him, therefore I didn't have a car to drive.
Suddenly, the fact that I didn't have a car to drive made it very inconvenient for me in my daily life. I could only ride an e-bike or go somewhere by walking. I realized that just one car was not enough for my family, so I was planning to buy another car.
This time, I wanted to buy an SUV. An SUV could go anywhere because it had a large clearance from the ground. The first SUV model that came to my mind was Tiguan because its sales volume had been the first in my country for several consecutive years.
After I told my wife about my thoughts, she didn't agree with me and she told me that we should buy an expensive one. I was like "maybe we can buy an Audi A 6?" She still denied my idea. She was like "we should buy a class d car, such as Audi A 8, Mercedes benz s, or BMW 7 Series." I was shocked by her idea. After all, we were not rich people.
I started to look for information on the internet about these three car models, such as their looks, prices and configurations.
After a lot of work on estimating, I decided to buy a BMW 730 luxury because it was the cheapest among the three car models with the same configuration.
I inquired about its price from many BMW 4 s stores in big domestic cities, and Beijing Baocheng BMW 4 s store offered me the cheapest price.
In November 2015, my second older brother, my son and I went to Beijing to buy it. The BMW official offer was 1038000 RMB, but the store cut it 26 percent for me. Together with other fees, I paid more than 800000 RMB for this car.
Beijing was so big, we spent about an hour driving away from it. My second older brother and my son took turns driving the car. Beijing was more than 800 kilometers away from my city. We started to drive home that afternoon and arrived home the next morning. Of course, we rested in a hotel half way home that night.

My First Car
My first car was a Volkswagen Passat and I bought it in 2009.
That year, I earned a little money, which was about 120000 Chinese Yuan. My family on my wife’s side suggested my wife and I buy a car. Of course, I also wanted to buy a car, which used to be my dream.
The first car model that I wanted to buy was the Volkswagen Langyi, which was said to be the first car that was jointly made by both Volkswagen companies of Germany and China.
This car was a Class A, so it was not that big, and in other words, it was only enough for five people’s rides. The style of this car was very in line with the Chinese aesthetic and that was why it was my first choice.
At that time, my city only had one Volkswagen 4s store, which was in the southwest part of the city. One day, I went to that store to see Langyi. Next to the Langyi, there was a Passat. I got into the Passat after I checked the Langyi and I suddenly felt very comfortable because the Passat was very spacious and looked much nicer than the Langyi.
A Passat was about 60000RMB more expensive than a Langyi. I was hesitant to buy a Passat although I really liked it.
My family on my wife’s side told me that money is not a problem as long as I liked it-they said they could lend money to me.
In March 2009, I finally bought the first car of my life. The model of the car was Passat 2.0 MFI. I didn’t dare buy Passat 1.8T because it was more expensive than the 2.0 MFI.

Запретить рекламу к детям?
Да, я считаю, что надо запретить всью рекламу к детям моложе двенадцать лет. Ну, я считаю, что надо запретить всью рекламу больших предприятелей, но давайте сконцентрируемся на детской рекламе, так как она тема этого предложения текста.
Очень просто манипулировать ум молодых детей. Вы уже помострили одну рекламу иргшки на телевизору? У каждой такая же структура: улыбающийся ребёнок играет продуктом в красочном мире со спецэффектами и музыкой. Всё идёт быстро: планы рекламного ролика, музыка и смешная песьня, которая её часто сопровождает. В течение 30 миут, реклама бомбарирует детей стимулами, до когнитивной перегрузки. Это совершенно выключает их разумные мысли.
Старые рекламы (примерно до 50-их годов) обращались родителям. Но после, промышленники поняли, что они смогли бы заработать намного больше денег обращався прямо к детям. Импульс к покупке происходило бы из детей самих, и все родители хотят баловать дочь или сына, нет? Таким образом, дети стали потребителей, и сегодня, с молодого возраста, мы привыкаем к тому, определить нашу личность потреблением.
Мир детских реклам также увековечивает родские стереотипы. Я не вижу проблемы в том, что девочки одеваются в розывое и мальчики в синее, но когда дети становятся так стереотипичными, как G.I. Joe или Barbie, значит, как коммерческими продуктами, в том случае есть же проблема.
Часто, реклама продвигает продукты, которые сами вредны детям, такие как соды полны сахара...
В целом, реклама вредят прихическому и иногда физическому здоровью, особенно в случае детеи, поэтому, запретить её было бы неплохо!

La publicité ciblée aux enfants doit-elle être interdite?
La publicité est quelque chose d’ennuyant que nous sommes obligés à supporter de temps en temps, mais c'est son omniprésence dans la vie quotidienne qui nous a peut-être rendu inconscients de ses dangers. En fait, il s’agit de la manipulation psychologique des gens. Les entreprises ne nous persuadent pas d'acheter leurs produits avec des arguments raisonnés, mais au contraire, ils jouent avec nos émotions, nos désirs inconscients, et la peur d’être inadéquat : d'être trop gros, trop mince ou d'avoir trop de rides sur le visage. Malheureusement, les adultes, qui ont déjà terminé leur développement psychologique, sont moins susceptibles d’être manipulés que les enfants, qui ont tendance à se fier à tout ce qu’ils entendent. En fait, permettre la publicité ciblée aux enfants, c’est permettre des grandes entreprises à les éduquer. Mais quelles sont les valeurs que ces entreprises veulent enseigner aux enfants ? Si j’étais le DG d’une grande entreprise, je voudrais que les enfants n’aient pas d’estime de soi, qu’ils soient toujours insatisfaits avec leurs corps et leurs vêtements. C’est comme ça qu’ils ressentiront l’envie d’acheter toujours de nouveaux vêtements chaque fois que la mode change, et d’essayer de nouvelles pilules amaigrissantes afin d’être aussi mince que les mannequins dans toutes les publicités. À mon avis, donc, il est incontestable que toute publicité qui cible les enfants doit être étroitement réglementé, voire interdite.

Escuchando un audiolibro
Ayer empecé a escuchar un audiolibro en español. Se llama "El Inquilino", de Javier Cercas. Lo saqué de la biblioteca usando una aplicación llamada "Libby".
(Libby es una buena herramienta para estudiar idiomas, puesto que se puede sacar libros y audiolibros gratis de la biblioteca, y si tienes un e-reader (dispositivo electrónico para la lectura), puedes buscar nuevas palabras en el diccionario sólo con un click. Últimamente, he pasado un rato buscando casi cada palabra nueva que encuentro mientras leo, usando otra aplicación que desarrollé yo mismo. He sido muy agotado, pero creo que es necesario hacerlo, a menos a veces.)
Volvamos al tema. Con este audiolibro, al escucharlo, entendí la gran mayoría de las palabras. Lo interesante fue que, aunque entendí cada palabra, era como me fijaba en cada una, aunque estuviera por solo una fracción de una segunda, y me perdí el significado de la frase entera. Como si estuviera viendo los pincelados de un cuadro, y no notando la escena entera.
La historia es interesante, y el libro es corto. Creo que voy a terminarla hoy, y tratar de dejar que mi mente ... comer frases enteras, y no mordisquear cada palabra. :-)

Ein ruhiger Abend
Gestern Abend bin ich mit einer Freundin ausgegangen, die ich seit einigen Wochen nicht mehr gesehen hatte. Vor zwei Wochen war ich erkältet, und letzte Woche war es draußen -6, weswegen ich zuhause geblieben bin. Stattdessen war es gestern nicht zu kalt, und wir haben und deswegen endlich gesehen.
Zuerst sind wir ein bisschen spazieren gegangen, und danach wollten wir in unser liebes Lokal gehen, um eine Tasse heiße Schokolade zu genießen. Leider gab es keine freien Tische, da im Fernsehen das Finale des Sanremo Festivals übertragen wurde. Deswegen haben wir beschlossen, in eine Kneipe zu gehen, wo wir eine Cola und köstliche Pommes mit Würstchen bestellt haben.
Um die Zeit totzuschlagen, haben wir zunächst Dame gespielt (in der Kneipe gibt es mehrere Brettspiele!), und dann hat sie ihr Tablet aus der Tasche geholt, und wir haben einige alberne Spielchen gespielt, die wir im App-Store gefunden haben.
Obwohl wir nichts Besonderes unternommen haben, liebe ich es, meine Wintersamstage so zu verbringen!

Estrategias para lograr mis metas
Este año tengo la misma meta que en los años anteriores: seguir aprendiendo español. Me encanta que ahora puedo entender mucho cuando escucho un podcast o leo algo en línea pero creo que necesito pasar más tiempo escribiendo y hablando español. También me gustaría poder leer libros de ficción. Para lograr esta meta tengo la intención de aprender nuevo vocabulario cada semana y escribir textos en este sitio web.
También quiero sacar buenas notas en el colegio. Aunque voy a hacer los exámenes el año que viene, creo que van a ser más fáciles si ya sé lo que aprendimos este año. Por eso voy estudiar mucho en casa pero también quiero aprovechar de mis clases en el colegio, prestar atención y hacer preguntas si no entiendo algo.
Mi última meta es pasar menos tiempo en redes sociales y más tiempo en la naturaleza así que voy a montar en bicicleta los fines de semana si hace buen tiempo. Espero que esto me ayude a llevar una vida más saludable.
