The superstitions
Dear Lena,
I’m sorry that I didn’t write to you earlier, but I was really busy. I read an interesting article about the superstitions a couple of days ago and I really liked it.
In Hungary there are some supertitious beliefs. Like if you’ve an black cat at home, it will bring good luck to you, but if such cat walks through the road front of you, it means bad luck. Moreover, if you put some coins in a lake, which is built artifically, it will bring good luck too.
Generally, people are superstitious about some number for instance thirteen, seven, three and one. Furthermore, we can think that the things, which we got for us from important people, bring good luck too.
I’m this kind of people too. I’ve a bracelet and a watch what I’ve got from my father and I consider these personal things to bring me good luck. Besides I’ve two superstitious numbers: twelve and eight. So, I believe in these superstitions.
And what do you think about that? I’d really interested in your opinion. Please, write soon!
Good wishes
Your best friend,
Cleo

An article connected to galaxy travel competition
Dear Readers,
when I read this notice, immediately I decided to write an article. I am interested in topics of travelling, vehicles and development.
So I would like to answer the first question. I think we will use updated cars with extrem fast speed and express trains, which are indeed very quick in 50 years’ time. We will able to travel hundreds of kilometres in few minutes by them.
The solution for the second question is the travelling capsule. It will seem like a special island with natural daylight and coctails. In this will robots work and they make the journey us pleasure. In fact, travelling would be the holiday in this way.
If I would win the prize, I would protect a such project furthermore, I would like to travel to Hawaii Island for a bit sunshine, as unfortunatelly, this capsule has not existed yet.
Best regards
Cloe

Einige französische Sprichwörter mit Tieren
Ich denke, dass ich zumindest einmal einige französische Sprichwörter in allen meinen Zielsprachen erklärt, aber es gefällt mir sehr, also heute möchte ich ein paar tierbezogene Proverben vorstellen. Ich werde das Sprichwort schreiben, seine wörtliche Übersetzung zwischen Anführungszeichen geben und dann seine Meinung erklären.
¤ Payer en monnaie de singe, „mit Affengeld zahlen“ = Jemanden nicht bezahlen, seine Schuld mit Versprechen oder schönen Worten bezahlen. Dieses Sprichwort ist eigentlich sehr alt, denn es stammt aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Zu dieser Zeit hatte Ludwig IX. eine Steuer auf eine Brücke zwischen der Île de la Cité und der Saint-Jacques-Straße. eingeführt. Die einzigen, die die Steuer nicht betraf, waren die Affenführer. Sie konnten einfach ihren lustigen Tieren befehlen, einige Tricks zu machen, um die Mautbetreiber zu unterhalten, um durchqueren zu dürfen. In einem gewissen Sinne bezahlten sie die Mautgebühr mit Affengeld!
¤ Dormir comme un loir, „wie ein Siebenschläfer schlafen“ = Der Sinn von diesem ist klar, denke ich. Sogar im deutschen Namen dieses sehr süßen Tieres werden seine Schlafgewohnheiten widerspiegelt.
¤ Avoir d'autres chats à fouetter, „andere Katzen zu peitschen haben“ = Katzen peitschen... Wie grausam! Das Sprichwort stammt aus dem XVII. Jahrhundert. Damals sagte man „es lohnt sich nicht, darum eine Katze zu peitschen“ („il n'y a pas de quoi fouetter un chat“), wenn eine Sache gar nicht schlimm ist und daher keine unangemessene Reaktion verdient. Deswegen meint man, dass man andere/wichtigere Probleme hat, wenn man „andere Katzen zu peitschen hat“!
¤ Nous n'avons pas gardé les cochons ensemble, „wir haben die Schweine zusammen nicht gehütet“ = Dieses liebe ich sehr, obwohl es ein bisschen veraltet ist. Vermutlich kennen zwei Personen, die die Schweine zusammen gehütet, einander sehr gut. Es wird als Warnungssatz verwandt, wenn jemand, der uns nicht sehr gut kennt, sich Vertraulichkeiten — z.B. indiskrete Fragen — uns gegenüber erlaubt. Kurz gesagt ist es ein kaltes „Vorsicht, wir sind keine Freunde!“

La lumière
La lumière! Cela est un élément, dont on peut penser qu’il est complètement banal. Néanmoins, la lumière doit avoir quelque chose, qui la fait très important selon la situation. Il arrive souvent que on parle à quelqu’un sur une maison, qu’il a habité pendant un certain temps. On se rend compte à quel point la vieuille maison lui manque. On peut demander: quelque chose avait la maison de spécial? Réponse: la lumière.
Une situation paraille, en parlant à une amie sur des congés d’été. L’amie a voyagé dans un pays de la Méditerranée. Elle est émerveillée. On fait un couple de questions. Effectivement, elle s’extasie de la lumière aussi.
Je me suivant de lire un roman du écrivain nord-américain Henry Miller, Le Colosse de Maroussi. Le livre raconte d’expériences vécues par Miller lors de son séjour de neuf mois en Grèce. L’ouvre met l’accent, entre autres, sur la lumière de la région. “La lumiére de la Grèce m’a ouvert les yeux” écrit Miller dans leurs pages.
Leander Lost est un personnage de fiction, étant le protagoniste d’une saga de romans policiers. Il est allemand, mais il participe à un programme d’echange de policiers dans le Algarve, au Portugal. Quelle est la chose, qui appelle l’attention de Lost après de sa arrivée au Portugal? Il est devenú come même un cliché, mais…. c’est la lumière!

Jinzhai County
I come to Jinzhai County several times because of my work needs.
Jinzhai is located in the mid-east part of Anhui Province, where it's the Dabie mountain area.
It covers 3814 square kilometers of land and has 675371 population.
Most of the land in Jinzhai is covered by mountains, and vegetation is everywhere, so the air here is very fresh.
There are many reservoirs, waterfalls, rivers and streams here. It is said that the water here has good quality and can be drunk directly.
Jinzhai is rich in products and has many specialties, such as the Lu’anGuapian green tea, Chinese chestnut, bamboo shoots, fragrant mushrooms and wood ears.
The county seat of Jinzhai is clear and tidy. All the buildings here look brand new and special. So in 2020, it was rated as a National Health Civilization City.
It's also known as the cradle of the Red Army and the birthplace of the Chinese revolution. Statistically, 59 Chinese generals were born and raised here.
Its transport is very developed. It has high speed railways and highways. People here can go to every big city along them.
Since it is a mountainous area, it has many beautiful scenic spots. The most famous ones are Tiantangzhai, Yanzihe Grand Canyon and Meishan Reservoir.
Since the all mentioned above, it's been a tourist destination county now. Every day, people from other parts of China come here for sightseeing.

Une grève au Japon
Je n’ai jamais entendu parler d’une grève au Japon. Pour autant que je sache, les japonais sont très disciplinés et respectueux de la loi. Les grèves au Japon est bien entendu un événement rarissime contrairement à la France. Lorsque j’ai lu le titre d’une grève dans le journal, j’avais hâte de lire l’article. En bref, il s’agissait la vente d’un grand magasin de Tokyo. L’article compare cet magasin à Harrods à Londres. Nul doute, vous connaissez Harrods, un grand magasin célébrissime. Le magasin Seibu Ikebukuro est un magasin haut de gamme, immense avec douze étages et fréquenté par 100 000 clients par jour.
Un groupe d’investissements américains l’ont acheté et apparemment, il voudrait le reconvertir en magasin d’électronique. J’étais perplexe car il existe autant de magasins électroniques au Japon. Je ne comprends pas à cent pour-cent cette décision. Il me semble d’être une décision un peu bizarre, un peu ridicule.
Alors, revenons à la grève. Les employés protestent contre la vente et ils ont été en grève depuis jeudi dernier. L’article a compris des commentaires des clients et je vous cite l’un qui m’a frappé. « Les grands magasins sont des services essentiels comme des bureaux de poste ou des banques. Donc les grèves devraient être interdites dans ces secteurs ». Pour autant, il me semble qu’en général, la population soutient cette grève.

Mercoledì
Ho iniziato la giornata alla grande! Mi sono svegliata alle 5 e mezzo. Quando sono uscita a fare una passeggiata, era ancora buio fuori.
Dopo esser ritornata, ho fatto un caffè, ho dato da mangiare ai gatti e ho studiato un po' d'italiano. Ho avuto del tempo per allenarmi con la Switch ( c'è un gioco in cui si può fare sport ).
Non ho ancora fatto colazione, ma mangerò fra un'ora o due.
Sono meno pigra di prima, in realtà sono produttiva giorno dopo giorno. Faccio ogni giorno i compiti personali durante la pausa pranzo. In più, sono quasi sempre la più produttiva dei miei colleghi - mi piace più lavorare di mattina invece da sera.
A domani!

IELTS Speaking Answers
4. Which room do you like the most?
Well, my favorite room would have to be my bedroom. You see, I enjoy having some alone time, and my bedroom is perfect for that. It's not just a bedroom but also my workspace since I work at home.
I spend most of my time in that room. When I feel tired or overwhelmed, I can just jump onto my bed for a quick power nap. Now, I must admit, the view from my bedroom is not the greatest. Unfortunately, my neighbor's house blocks the entire window, so I don't really get to see much outside. But that's okay! I've made the room really comfortable and cozy, so it feels like my own little oasis.
So yeah, my bedroom is definitely my favorite room in the house. It's where I can work, relax, and have some much-needed alone time.
5. Is life convenient around your place?
Yes, life around my place is very convenient. I live on the main street in the center of the city, There are well-stocked supermarkets where I can easily find everything I need, vibrant open markets where I can buy fresh produce and local goods, large retail stores with a wide selection of clothing and shoes, and restaurants and street vendors that offer a wide range of foods from different parts of the world. It is also very easy to get around. There are car and motorbike taxis everywhere.
6. Are there any markets/shops near your place?
Yes, there are several markets and shops near my neighborhood. Just 500 meters to the west, there is the city's largest open market where my mom often buys meat and vegetables for our meals. It's a bustling place with a wide variety of fresh produce and local goods available.
Opposite the open market, there is the city's largest clothing store, which offers a wide range of luxury brands and even features an indoor children's playground. I have never shopped there though.
In addition to these larger establishments, there are also numerous smaller shops lining the streets. These shops provide a diverse range of products, and you can find almost anything you need from them. Whether it's medicine, household items, electronics, or clothing, there is a wide selection available.
So it is very convenient for me to run errands or go shopping.
7. Are there anything you dislike about your place?
Yes, there is one thing I dislike about my place. When I was living in Ho Chi Minh City for university, I used to rely on online food delivery services as I didn't know how to ride a motorbike. However, in Buon Ma Thuot, these services are relatively new and have limited options for food and restaurants. It becomes challenging for me to find the specific shops that sell the types of food I want to eat and are also conveniently located near my place. As a result, when I have cravings for something different from my mom's cooking, I often end up settling for instant noodles instead.

Einführung in den Positivismus (VI)
Ein anderer sehr wichtig Philosophe ist Auguste Comte, der ,,Cours de philosophie positive'' (,,Kurs der positivistischer Philosophie'') schrieb. Er glaubt, dass es drei Stadien des Wissen gibt: das theologisches oder fiktives, das metaphysisches oder abstraktes, und das wissenschaftliches oder positivistisches. Das Erste betrifft ein intimes Wissen der Wesen: es gibt übernatürliche Kräfte, die als Hauptursache und Zweckursache gelten, und die durch eine direkte und kontinuierlich Aktion agieren. Das Zweite ist vorübergehend und es verknüpf jedes Phänomen mit einer abstrakter Entität. Das Dritte basiert auf dem Bewusstsein des Fehlens des absoluten Wissens: man verlässt die Forschung des Ursprungs und der Hauptursache, und jetzt versucht man, durch die Beobachtung und das Denken die Phänomene miteinander in Beziehung setzen. Diese drei Stadien sind eine Notwendigkeit des menschlichen Geistes, genau wie die der Theorie oder des Abstraktes. Das Endziel des Positivismus ist die Entdeckung der Naturgesetze und die Verringerung euer Zahl. Schließlich hofft Comte auf die Union der Physik, der Astronomie, der Chemie und der Physiologie für ein enzyklopädisches Wissen.

A Chat Message
I see. I have been looking for a place where it is like spring for many years, but I failed, because as you said, there is no such kind of place.
Do you know Yunnan province? The capital Kunming is called 春城. It means that the weather in Kunming seems like spring all year round.
Not only Kunming, but many other cities in Yunnan Province also have nice weather. The temperature in those cities is usually between 5 and 27 degrees Celsius.
Before, I wanted to buy an apartment in a medium sized coastal city in China. For example, on Hainan island. But now, I have changed my mind.
I will live a sojourn life in China, such as spending summer in the Shandong peninsula (where it is cool in summer), spending winter in Hainan island (where it is warm in winter).
However, I can only do it after I retire. In addition, before I live a sojourn life, I will spend three to five years travelling abroad and in China first. After I have done the traveling, maybe I will do a small business for fun if I am still healthy enough by then. Anyway, who knows?
Thank you for your messages. They gave me the opportunity to practice my writing. Bye bye and talk to you soon.

屠呦呦
我最喜欢的诺贝尔奖获得者是屠呦呦，她获得了化学方面的诺贝尔奖。
她1930年在宁波出生。从1951年到1955年，她在北京大学学医，然后学习了中医。所以，她独特地精通中医和西医。她行医几年后，文化大革命就开始了，这打断了她的人生。
1969年，她被指定为研究小组的部长，中国政府要求她研发疟疾的医疗方法。1972年，她运用她的西医和中医知识来开发一种疟疾治疗方法。她发现中药青蒿中有一种非常有效的化合物。她还想出了一种萃取办法。
之后，她跟她的丈夫和两个女儿重逢。从1970多年到2010以来，她大部分时间不为认知，但是一位外国人读了研究小组的笔记本，这位外国人确定了屠呦呦是部长，还发现了这种有效的青蒿化合物。所以，在2013年，屠呦呦获得了化学方面的诺贝尔奖。
屠呦呦不仅很聪明，而且很坚强。她也非常谦虚，因为她总是说如果没有一个非常优秀的研究小组，她就不可能开发出这个药物。
她的生活经历是我最喜欢的诺贝尔奖获得者的原因。

Un livre triste
Je me suis récemment inscrite à la bibliothèque. Lire des livres assez simples, cela m’aide à apprendre la langue française. Je préfère le genre qui est pour les jeunes, comme les adolescents.
Le dernier livre que j’ai lu parlait d’un garçon de 10 ans. Il était gravement malade, avec leucémie, et il restait dans l'hôpital. Il a eu un conflit avec ses parents et a dit qu’il les détestait. Cependant, il a formé une amitié forte avec une vieille dame qui visitait les enfants de l’hôpital.
Je suis contente de trouver des livres que je peux bien comprendre, avec des histoires pas ennuyeuses.

IELTS Writing Task 2 Essay
Some companies sponsor sports as a way to advertise themselves. Some people think it is good, while others think there are disadvantages to this. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Certain businesses utilize sports sponsorship as part of their marketing strategy. While some believe this approach is advantageous, others argue that it comes with drawbacks. In my opinion, sports sponsorship can have both advantages and disadvantages.
"When a company sponsors a sports event, its logo can be displayed around the venue and on athletes' gear. This helps the event's audience become aware of the sponsoring companies, which can influence their purchasing decisions as people are more likely to buy products they are familiar with. This impact becomes especially significant when they sponsor major events like the Olympics or the FIFA World Cup, which draw in millions or even billions of viewers. Moreover, the positive associations and emotions people have for specific sports events, teams, or athletes can transfer to the companies that sponsor them. This enhances the sponsors’ public image, attracting customers to choose them over competitors. For instance, Coca-Cola's sponsorship of the World Cup allows the brand to align itself with the excitement, joy, and positive emotions that fans experience during the tournament.
However, such marketing strategies can also lead to negative outcomes. If the sponsored event, team, or athlete becomes involved in controversies, scandals, or negative publicity, the sponsor can be negatively associated with those issues. Its reputation and public image can be damaged, and it may even face backlash and protests as a result. For example, Nike faced backlash for their endorsement deal with cyclist Lance Armstrong, who was stripped of his Tour de France titles and admitted to doping. Additionally, sponsoring sports, especially for high-profile events or teams, can be costly. If the expected returns on investment don't materialize, the finance of the sponsor can be strained. A prime example of this is Vodafone, which faced financial challenges due to the escalating expenses of its sponsorship with Manchester United and chose to discontinue its contract in 2005.
In conclusion, while sponsoring sports can help companies increase their visibility, recognition, and brand image, it also carries the risk of reputation damage and financial strain.

Un golpe seco me hizo temblar.
Un golpe seco me hizo temblar.
Antes de eso el bosque era silencioso, oscuro. Ni pájaro ni liebre se mostró bajo de velo de la noche. Como si hubiera algo que llevaba peligro. Y ahora se ha despertado.
Mis compañeros de viaje se levantaron también. El elfo no pude ver nada a pesar de su vista nocturna. Hace un momento el dracónico apagó la hoguera. El druida era preparando los caballos para montar.
El otro golpe sonó. Fue claro que es el tiempo de largar de aquí.
El hocico de inimaginable terror se apareció entre de los pines lejos. Fue el oso de tamaño grandísimo con el rostro de un búho.
¡Huyamos!
