Az egyik nyári szünetben én is elmentem egy utazásra. Erdélyt akartam felfedezni, de úgy sikerült, hogy Kárpátaljára mentem, és Románia északi részeire is. Nagyon érdekes utazás volt. Az idegenvezető Erdéyről származott, magyarul és románul tudott. Sokat beszélgettem vele. Azt mondta, nem nagyon ismeri a német irodalmat. Viszont felhívta a figyelmemet Terézia Mórára. Az "Alle Tage", magyarul "Minden nap" könyve nagy élményt jelentett a számomra. Az is egy olyan emberről szól, aki egy másik kultúrában él, de csak akkor találja ott a helyét, amikor már elvesztette az emlékezetét.
Sok ember most megpróbál más kultúrában élni. Ez a határtalan világ vívmánya. Még nem tartunk ott, hogy ezt megfelelően hasznosítani is tudná az ember. Én úgy gazdagodtam meg Magyarországon, hogy megtanultam valamennyire a magyar nyelvet és még most is minden nap tanulok valami újat.

Amikor az állami iskolában kezdtem el dolgozni, ez a kreatív légkör valahogy megszűnt. Az írás helyett sokat olvastam, a magyar irodalom helyett inkább németet olvastam. De most is volt sok felfedeznivaló. Érdekelt, hogy milyen irányba fejlődik az irodalom a német újraegyesülés után. Azt láttam, hogy most a volt NDK területén sok volt az új író, vagy egyáltalán olyan író, aki onnan jött. Sok mondanivalójuk volt, mert megváltozott minden. Később azok az írások érdekeltek, amelyekben az írók a megváltozott világot vagy olyan időszakot ábrázoltak a történelemben, amelyik hasonlít a maihoz. Ilija Trojanov "Der Weltensammler" című regényre gondolok, amely egy utazóról szól, aki más népek közt úgy élt, mintha hozzájuk tartózott volna.

The prevention of health problems and illness is more important than treatment and medicine. Government funding should reflect this. To what extent do you agree?
Some believe that governments should allocate more funds towards preventive measures for health issues rather than treatment and medication because "prevention is better than cure." I wholeheartedly agree.
Firstly, preventing diseases or detecting them early can result in substantial cost savings for both individuals and the healthcare system as a whole. Consider the United States, where it is estimated that approximately $200 billion is spent annually on healthcare costs associated with obesity alone. If even a modest fraction of that expenditure were allocated to initiatives such as public health campaigns, incentives for physical activity, and subsidies for healthy food, the country could potentially avoid such enormous spending. Therefore, by prioritizing prevention, governments can save a significant amount of public money.
Secondly, prevention is the most effective approach when dealing with certain chronic diseases. For instance, government campaigns aimed at educating people about the dangers of smoking or excessive sun exposure have proven highly effective in reducing rates of lung and skin cancer. Similarly, when it comes to countering infectious diseases, preventive measures play a major role. Prevention is also the optimal approach to combat infectious diseases. Imagine a scenario where governments worldwide had not implemented social distancing, mask mandates, travel restrictions, lockdowns, stay-at-home orders, testing and contact tracing, vaccination campaigns, and various other proactive steps. Even with effective medications that can treat the disease, the COVID-19 pandemic would likely have remained in the alarming stages.
In conclusion, government funding should prioritize preventing health issues over curing them because such an approach better ensures the well-being of citizens and can make substantial savings in public funds.

It is tempting to think that the medium doesn’t matter, that what matters is the content. But that would be a fallacy. There are several reports stating that the medium has an influence on our concentration ability. Allegedly, people reading on paper are able to retain more information that the ones reading on screen. Other reports assert that the reason lies in the fact that humans need a physical object in order to build an emotional relationship. That wouldn’t be possible with a digital book.
Of course digital books have a lot of undeniable advantages. So, why cannot we make use of the best of both worlds? Some readers prefer using a screen for reads at work, or for some theoretically quicker and shallower ones (such as science-fiction or detective novels). For more difficult matters they would rather go for a paper edition.
Nevertheless, I have serious doubts that science-fiction and detective novels can be classified that way!

This morning, I spoke to my online English teacher. She told me some real things about current issues in the UK.
She said that she was strongly against the former Prime Minister Brexit, he launched a referendum making the UK leave the European Union years ago, resulting in regular English people have to apply for an extra working visa if they want to work in the EU nations. And she also said that in the past years, due to economic problems, the mortgage of houses or flats has raised from 0.5% to around 4.5% and even 7%. For most British, however, their income hasn't increased. Additionally, her daughter also met employment problems in Britain, so her daughter planned to find a job in Italy. Unfortunately, her application visa for work was refused a week ago.
I don't understand why the mortgages can be sharply increased, this is really bad for people who have to pay monthly for it. In my country, we also meet serious problems related to real estate, in contrast, the mortgage for house loans decreased from approximately 5.1% to around 4.3%, and some can be lower as 3%.

Mindig amikor Budapestre jött a barátom, sokat utaztunk. Így megismerkedtem Magyarország szép helyeikkel is. Mások között emlékezetesek a Balaton, a Mecsek, a Bükk, a Hortobágy. A barátom sokat fényképezett, néha videofelvételeket is készített, én pedig szineszkedtem. Egyre jobban érdeklődtem a rendezői és színészi munka iránt. Sokat jártam moziba, mivel Budapesten az art-moziknak jó színvonala volt. Akadtam egy fiatal magyar rendezőre, aki valami olyasmit kifejezett, amit a barátom fényképein is láttam, vagy fordítva. Az "Altamira" nevű filmjét láttam, és a film utáni beszélgetésben azt mondta, hogy a mai graffitik olyanok, mint a rajzok a barlangokban. Egy barlangra gondoltam, amely Budapest közelében van, és amely fölött a barátommal már sokszor elsétáltunk. Azt mondták, hogy ebben a barlangban is rajzokat találtak, és hogy ez a terület ősidők óta lakott volt. Ott egy kis egylyukú híd is van egy patak felett. Mindig amikor arra jártunk, az első emberekre gondoltam. Így a művészet is besétált az életembe és elkezdtem írni. Az, amit láttam a moziban, amit olvastam, főleg magyar irodalmat, és amit nap mint nap tapasztaltam, inspirált.

J’ aimais toujours cuisiner. Dès un jeune âge, je portais mon tablier et mon chapeau et avec un bol et un cuillère en bois, j’aidais ma mère préparer les repas. Ce dont je me souviens, c’est mélanger les salades, faire les sandwichs et couper les fruits. Comme adulte, j’ai commencé collectionner les livres de recette. J’en avais beaucoup. Mes livres de recettes préférés étaient ceux avec beaucoup de photos.
Lorsque mes filles grandissaient, j’ai acheté un livre de cuisine faite pour les enfants. C’était une bande dessinées et mes filles l’adoraient. J’ai de merveilleux souvenirs de nous cuisiner chaque week-end. Ma fille aînée adorait faire des biscuits et l’autre fille préparerait toujours des tartes au chocolat. Après chaque séance de cuisson, la farine, la sucre et la beurre étaient partout. Je me souviens d’avoir rigolé beaucoup et d’avoir bien amusé.
Hier, j’ai lu un article qu’il s’agissait une jeune fille qui a écrit un livre de recette. Elle n’a que 8 ans. Apparemment, elle a eu l’idée de le faire pour que ses copains puissent refaire ses recettes.

Mi sono svegliata davvero presto, alle sei e mezzo. Devo abituarmi di nuovo a un orario diverso.
Stamattina ho studiato un po' d'italiano ( per mezz'ora ) e poi mi sono preparata a lavorare. Cerco di non lamentarmi di un programma così mattutino.
Preferisco essere mattiniera ad essere dormiglione. Dopo aver bevuto due caffè mi sono sentita piena di energie, quindi sono riuscita a fare ormai molti dei miei compiti.
Dopo aver finito il turno, uscirò a fare una passeggiata. Pioveva quando mi sono svegliata, spero che pioverà di nuovo quando uscirò.
Molta gente preferisca l'estate, ma a me dispiace. Ho aspetatto quest'aria fresca, le piogge, le foglie ingiallite.
Lavoro da quasi 4 ore, ne sono rimaste solo 4 e mezzo finché non finisco il lavoro.
A domani!

Ma fille et son mari vont passer le week-end chez nous. J’ai décidé de préparer un gâteau spécial pour célébrer l’occasion. Pour leurs visites précédentes, une fois, j’ai préparé un gâteau de chocolat et l’autre fois un gâteau de banane. Je sais qu’ils sont leurs gâteaux préférés. Cependant, cette fois-ci, je voudrais cuire un gâteau que je n’ai jamais essayé.
J’ai parlé à mes amis et j’ai lu de nombreuses recettes sur l’internet. Enfin, le choix était entre un gâteau Hummingbird ou un gâteau de betterave. Les ingrédients principaux du premier sont les bananes et l’ananas. Les ingrédients principaux du deuxième sont évidemment la betterave et le chocolat.
Alors, j’ai décidé de préparer le Hummingbird puisque la méthode était très simple. Ses ingrédients étaient la farine auto levante, l’huile, la noix de coco desséchée, la purée de banane, l’ananas écrasé, un peu de cannelle et deux œufs. En bref, on mélange tous ces ingrédients et on le cuit pendant une heure et demi.

Every time I recall the situations of me taking vehicles in the nineties, I still feel horrified.
My first workplace was in a county that was in another city, so from my home village to that county was a long distance, about two hundred kilometers.
At that time, I only returned home before Chinese New Year. When I went to my workplace after the New Year, I had to go to a town near my village to take a long-distance bus. Since the bus was not departing from the town, when it arrived in the town, it was already full of passengers.
Every time I took the bus, I always needed my older brother to help. He threw my luggage into the bus through the bus windows first, and then he tried his best to push me into the car from the crowd. He often disliked me for being a coward. Every time he helped me to get on the bus, he was panting with fatigue, but was very proud.
One time, I took a bus to Hangzhou. Many passengers didn't have seats. They could only stand on the bus shoulder by shoulder. I was the one among them. After not long, I had to squat down and fall asleep because of fatigue. Suddenly I felt extremely uncomfortable and I felt I was going to die.
I tried my best to stand up and I heard the sound of something breaking. It was my waistband - while I was standing up suddenly, something scratched it and it was broken.
It was more than six hundred kilometers between Hangzhou and my home city. Even now, I still can't believe how I can get through the long distance on a bus without a seat. If I had done it at my current age, I would definitely have died.
Another embarrassing thing was also taking place on a long-distance bus, and I can't figure out the reason even now - At midnight, the driver didn't stop the bus if someone wanted to pee.
One time I was on a bus in Zhejiang province at midnight and I wanted to pee. The driver told me that I could pee through the bus window. Of course, I couldn't pee that way, and I could only find some wide-mouth bottles or plastic bags.
Taking a train back then was also a struggle. There were only those ordinary green trains, and they were slow and crowded. Passengers often had no seats and had to bend their bodies and lie down under train seats. I did that several times too.
It is always a pain recalling these unpleasant things. I hope they never happen again.

1. Do you like the place you live in?
Absolutely! I love where I live. My house is situated at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, which connects to the bustling main street in the heart of the city. It's the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. Whenever I need to run errands or go shopping, I can simply take a short walk to nearby supermarkets, open markets, and large stores. When I return home, I can enjoy a calm and serene atmosphere, shielded from the noise of traffic. It's truly the best of both worlds.
2. Are there any landmarks/iconic buildings near your place?
Yes, there are. Just around 500 meters away from my house, there is the city's largest clothing store, known for its wide range of expensive brands and even featuring an indoor children's playground. If you head right from the store for about 15 minutes, you'll come across the city square, which serves as a venue for major events like the New Year fireworks display. But if you head right from the store, you'll spot the Victory Monument, a significant landmark built to honor the famous Battle of Buon Ma Thuot in the spring of 1975. This battle played a crucial role in liberating the Central Highlands and the Southern region. The monument itself has an interesting design inspired by the indigenous people's ancient weapon, the crossbow. You'll notice a tall and straight pillar resembling an arrow, while the round gate represents the bow.
In front of the gate is a concrete replica of a tank that led the forces of Buon Ma Thuot and crashed through the gates of the enemy's command headquarters.
3. What is your high school like?
My high school is the second most prestigious public school in the city, known for its high-quality teachers and excellent facilities. It is situated in a secluded neighborhood, away from the main street, providing a peaceful and serene environment for learning.
I was enrolled in the advanced class, which offered more challenging coursework in subjects like English, math, and language compared to regular classes. The class sizes were relatively large, with around 40 students.
Classes started at 7 am, and we would have a break at about 9, which I spent chatting with my friends about our favorite movies and novels. The school day would typically end at around 11, and there were occasionally extracurricular activities in the afternoon, such as embroidery or basketball.
In terms of academic performance, I maintained an average level. I wasn't exceptional, but I also didn't struggle.

Sujet: La nouvelle technologie remplace-t-elle la lecture traditionnelle?
Devoir:
L’apparence de la nouvelle technologie fait partie intégrante dans le développement de l’humanité d’où le changement universel. Comme les inventions artificielles nous aident à réformer la vie quotidienne en facilitant les activités humaines dont la lecture est le premier pas d’innovation vers le future. Mais on pose alors la question si cette dernière remplace totalement la lecture traditionnelle. Personnellement, je trouve que
Premièrement, les livres en ligne sont très divers à choisir. Généralement, il ressemble à une ressource littéraire abondante qui permets aux lecteurs d’accéder non seulement à centaines ouvrages différents mais aussi à ceux de multi-langue que possible. De plus, à côté de forme de texte, l’Ebook existe aussi sous forme de sonorité ou de…
Deuxièmement, la commodité des livres téléchargés est indéniable. En effet, ceux traditionnels prennent trop de place à ranger si bien qu’ils font d’une maison d’une librairie exigu. Par contre, avec l’Ebook, on réduits des espaces de stockage au maximum car ce qu’on doit pour faire la lecture dans ce cas là, c’est tout simplement une tablette ou un téléphone portable. Particulièrement, on peut l’emporter à n’import où et lire n’importe quand grâce à la compacité de l’appareil.
Cependant, on ne peut pas nier qu’on préfère parfois les livres en papier. D’une part, certaines lectures concernent la batterie d’Ebook qui peut éteindre ou tomber en panne n’importe quand. D’autre part, regarder à l’écran à une longue durée faitigue facilement des yeux en menant les maladies visuelles. Finalement, les livres numériques ne donnent pas aux lecteurs des sensations irremplaçables et des sentiments nostalgiques comme ceux traditionnels.
En conclusion, bien que la nouvelle technologie rende davantage profits à considérer dont la compacité du dispositif et l’abondance d’ouvrages. Mais à ma part, ils ne remplacent jamais les livres traditionnels car ils sont quand même l’invention artificielle qui ne peut pas répondre aux besoins sentimals des lecteurs.

ユースによると、小さい子供たちが犯人を捕まることに役に立ったということです。今年6月、東京にある保育園の近くにある公園で遊ぶ時、子供たちが財布3つを見つけました。そしてそれを見て、保育園の先生が警察に届けました。警察を調べによって、財布が盗まれたことでした。公園の周りのカメラを調べると、財布を盗んだ犯人を見つけることもできました。財布を拾った子供たちにお礼を言いに警官と地域警察キャラクターが保育園に行ったということです。
私がこのニュースを読んで、子供たちが生活指導をよく受けたということを考えました。財布を見つけるとまず先生にくれたから。そして警官が子供たちにお礼を言うのはとてもいいことだと思います。そんなことは子供に楽しいから長いこと記憶に残るでしょう。警察を手伝った時を記憶して誇らしくて、いつも別な人に役に立つことを熱心してすることになったらいいです。

Ça fait plus que deux mois depuis nous avons dit à la propriétaire qu'il y a une petite fuite d'eau sous le lavabo. Sauf maintenant la fuite est pire et il faut que nous utilisions un déshumidificateur dans la cuisine. Cette machine génère beaucoup de la chaleur, et nous sommes dans une canicule cette semaine. Je laisse les fenêtres ouvertes mais les volets restent fermés parce que je suis gravement allergique aux moustiques. Quelques peuvent mêmes rentrent. Il n'est pas confortable ici.

En nuestro mundo cada vez más dominado por las computadoras, saber cómo escribir código se ha vuelto una habilidad esencial, y no solo para los trabajos relacionados con los aparatos electrónicos. Cómo no, las clases de código se han vuelto muy populares, especialmente las de en línea. No obstante, aún creo yo que las clases ofrecidas por las universidades son mejores.
Las clases en línea no te permiten conocer a gente de la industria y, por lo tanto, terminas sabiendo cómo codigar pero sin algún contacto que te ayude a conseguir empleo. Las universidades, por otro lado, suelen tener recursos e incluso departamentos enteros dedicados a ayudarte ganar experiencia y, además, a menudo poseen enlaces con empresas locales, lo que te facilita aún más encontrar empleo. De hecho, es común ya tener un puesto de trabajo listo para ti para cuando termines con tus estudios.
Además, los profesos te exponen a un montón de temas y recursos que nunca encontrarías por ti solo. A menudo queremos enfocarnos en lo que creamos "útil" y olvidarnos de todo lo demás; sin embargo, el buen trabajo exige un entendimiento profundo y nos cuenta averiguar lo que no sepamos ya. ¡Por eso gastan gobiernos y empresas millones de dólares cada año! Aunque los profesores no sepan todo y a veces nos enseñen cosas que no vayamos a usar nunca, eso no es su objetivo - los profesores están para guiarnos y mostrarnos lo que desconocemos, por eso son tan importantes.
Hay muchos que discuten que no es necesario asistir a clases y pagar cientos de dólares para algo que se puede aprender por ti solo, en línea y gratis. Y tienen un punto - pero sigo creyendo en la importancia de asistir a clases, aunque sea solo por el "networking". Porque, aunque seas el mejor programador del mundo y sabes todo sobre la ciencia de la computación, aún te quedas sin trabajo si no conoces a alguien en la industria.

Sweet potatoes were largely planted in my area when I was a child. They were our main food and usually planted in May, and harvested in October.
After harvesting them, people had two ways to store them. One, they sliced the sweet potatoes into slices and dried them in the sun, and then collected them and stored them in houses. Two, they dug cellars and stored sweet potatoes in the cellars.
People almost ate sweet potatoes for three meals every day. In the morning, mothers cut sweet potatoes into pieces and put them into a pot filled with water, and then heated the pot to boil them. Sometimes, people didn't even cut sweet potatoes, but directly put them in the pot.
As for the dried sweet potato slices, people had two ways to eat them. One was to crush the slices and put them into a pot filled with water to cook them. Another way was to grind the slices into flour to make food. People usually used flour to make noodles and steamed buns.
Let me tell you how to make steamed sweet potato flour buns. It was so simple: you mixed the flour and a certain amount of water to make a dough, and then made the dough into many small doughs and flattened the small doughs, finally stuck the flat doughs in a pot (water was at the bottom of the pot and didn't reach where the flat dough was sticking) to cook them.
As for those small and broken sweet potatoes, people put them under their eaves to dry them, because the less water in them, the more delicious they were. When people boiled this kind of sweet potatoes, they tasted more sweet than ordinary ones.
I grew up eating sweet potatoes and everyone grew up with it. So there was a common saying in my area, "sweet potato flour, sweet potato buns, without them we can't survive."
Sweet potatoes used to be the essential food to feed us, but now people have more good alternatives to them, and they have become an exquisite dish in restaurants.

Je pense que je suis d'accord avec cette phrase. Même si l’amour peut nous blesser, l’amour est une belle chose. Avec amour, nous créons de beaux souvenirs. L'amour nous incite à exprimer de belles qualités, telles que la patience, l'honnêteté et l'empathie. Même si ces choses ne soient pas permanentes si vous perdez l’amour, elles en valent la peine. Au total, l’amour est un bon sentiment qui vaut la peine de le perdre.

I liked this books a lot, it's organized in a easy way and it's easy to understand. Heian Kyo was the capital of ancient Japan and a place of great sophistication and wealth, so much that they comunicated almost only using poems, as so a bad poem was meet with social shame. They were also obssesed with rank and style, so much that they had dictated by law which colors, tone and lenght on clothes could be used based on each person rank. This went so far that a woman, whose sleeves were the wrong tone (they used multi-layered ones), would have being subject to the court scorn, not directly of course, but through gossip and backhanded comments.

Describe A Film Character Played By An Actor Or Actress Whom You Admire
I'm not a movie buff, so my options for choosing a film character are somewhat limited. However, there is one character who has left a lasting impact on me, and that is Katniss Everdeen from "The Hunger Games" film series, brilliantly portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence.
I first encountered this film series during my final year of high school, and I was immediately captivated by its intense fight scenes and the suspense of the tributes trying to survive the cruel survival game. As the movies progressed, I found myself deeply rooting for Katniss. Her brave decision to volunteer as a tribute for her sister, despite knowing the hardships she would face, her refusal to conform to the opulent and sugar-coated life that the Capitol presented, and her unwavering commitment to joining the rebellion, even after witnessing her close stylist and confidant being executed for their involvement, all resonated deeply with me. I eagerly anticipated the downfall of the Capitol, and the scenes where Katniss took a stand were incredibly satisfying.
The main reason for my deep admiration for this character undoubtedly lies in the remarkable performance of Jennifer Lawrence. She flawlessly captures Katniss's internal struggles, vulnerability, doubt, and love, even in scenes where there isn't much dialogue to explicitly express the character's thoughts—her actions and expressions speak volumes. Jennifer Lawrence truly brought Katniss to life in a way that felt authentic and relatable.
To shed more light on Jennifer Lawrence, while I may not know much about her personal life, I greatly admire her journey from a humble background to becoming a global superstar, which, in many ways, mirrors Katniss's own journey. I've watched some of her short videos in which she comes across as down-to-earth, likable, and relatable. Many people adore her because they see aspects of her character in themselves.
In conclusion, Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal of Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" was critically acclaimed worldwide. The character, brought to life by her outstanding performance, left an indelible mark on me and many others, showcasing the power of cinema to create relatable and inspiring characters.
