Ella es muy bella.

How to Make People Angry - 外見・状態＋だし / Describing
I named this technique instead of translating the original name to make it more understandable.
In the skit, the victim visits a company to meet his client, but a guy at the company gives him a rude reception with aggressive use of the technique.
The technique involves describing a target.
The guy keeps describing the victim's movements, appearance, state, etc., until the victim gives up and leaves.
"His arm is now like this."
"He is looking for someone."
"He is angry."
"He seems annoyed."
Many techniques in this series are created for fun and are too chaotic to use in real life.
The skit demonstrates an unrealistic way of using the technique, but I believe it can be quite practical if used subtly and at the right moment.

A Response
Hello Kim, I'm good. Thank you.
The question is very difficult to answer. It depends.
As you know, China and the US have different social systems. China is a centralized country and the United States is a democratic country, so they have different characteristics.
In short, ordinary people properly cannot see the shortcomings of China and they love China for no reason. Only well educated and sharp people can realize the disadvantages of China, but they can do nothing, and they don't even dare speak out about it.
Yes, China has a strict sense system for public opinions and opposite opinions are not allowed. The filter is also true. The government doesn't want to see the opinions that they don't like, so they filter the negative comments.
Although China has developed a lot, there is still poverty in some remote areas. China is so big and has a huge population that it's too hard to eliminate poverty.
I don't know if you already know Google, Facebook, Twitter. Etc. are banned in China.
It's very common that some people love their country for no reason, while some people can see their country's disadvantages and hope to make it better. The case will happen in every country.
The US is a great country in the world, but it still can't satisfy all of its citizens. That is what it is.
I have a beautiful hope, which is not only for China and the US, but for each country in the world: I hope they are wealthy, fair, just, democratic, strong and provide very good living conditions for their citizens.
Thank you for your questions, and I hope everything goes well for you. See you soon.

つよしさんへの手紙
(this is a reply to a textbook writing exercise)
Title: つよしさんへの手紙
つよしさんへ、
ペンフレンドクラブでつよしさんの名前を見たから、この手紙を書きました。私はクリスで、つよしさんはペンフレンドをさんがしているそうですね。
私は英語も一番好きな科目だけど、つよしさんほど英語がとくいじゃないです。どんな本を読みにくいですか。新聞の本を読みにくいと思います。
そして、私はダンスも下手です。つよしさんはたろうさんと一緒にだんすをしますね。友達がいたら、一緒に歌を歌ったり、ダンスをしたいできます。ところで、有名な歌手を知っていますか。
では、今日はこれで。返事を待っています。よったら、つぎの手紙につよしさんのかおのしゃしんをおいてください。さようなら。

Venerdì
Sono stanchissima, ma felice. Questa mattina mi sono svegliata abbastanza tardi ( non mi sono alzata presto come d'abitudine ), alle nove e mezzo. Ho avuto un'idea meravigliosa - ho avuto voglia di andare a un parco che si trova lontano da noi, quindi ci siamo andati in macchina.
Abbiamo fatto una breve passeggiata e poi siamo ritornati a casa. Alcune zone del parco sono stati restaurate recentamente e sembrano più belle di prima.
Fortunatamente anche mio marito ha i hiorni liberi ( fino a martedì ), cioè questa significa che possiamo passare il tempo insieme in modo meraviglioso e senza preoccupazioni.
Come dicevo ieri, mi sono fatto un regalo come ogni anno - due nuovi libri horror di John Saul. In realtà sono nuovi solo per me, perché sono stati usciti negli anni '90. Ne ho già finito da leggere uno, oggi mi piacerebbe leggere l'altro.
Fra un'ora preparerò il pranzo - una bistecca di maiale con patate al forno e panna. Ho l'acquolina in bocca solo pensarci!
Non ho studiato in italiano questi giorni, ho fatto una pausa dallo studio per godermi le ferie.
Allora, a domani!

Desigual est une marque de vêtements née à Barcelone, en Espagne. Le style choisi par l'entreprise se caractérise par les couleurs et les tissus décoratifs, presque ethniques.
Je trouve leurs vêtements vraiment laids, un mélange des couleurs et des tissus sans goût. Pendant une certaine période Desigual a été connu en Italia comme « l'enseigne préféré par toutes les mères », parce que pour des raisons encore inconnues, les femmes après 40 ans aiment beaucoup le style.
Il y a au moins dix ans, Desigual a ouvert une boutique dans un centre commercial en Lombardie, il est important souligner la région.
Pendant la même période, le slogan de Desigual était : « la vida es chula », qu’en espagnol devrait signifier : « la vie est belle ».
L'entreprise n'a jamais contrôlé le dialecte local, parce que sinon ils auraient évité d'utiliser le slogan : « chula » est en fait prononcé comme « ciula », que dans les dialectes de l'Italie du Nord signifie « être un idiot, être naïf », il y a aussi le verbe "ciulare" que signifie "voler" ou (vulgairement) « avoir un rapport sexuel » !

Brandy : une chienne bien aimée
Brandy vit dans notre rue et appartient à ma voisine. Brandy, une chienne très aimée, est très mignonne. Je ne suis pas certaine de sa race. C’est une chienne de sauvetage que ma voisine a récupéré dans un refuge pour animaux. Quand je regarde Brandy, j’imagine qu’elle est un mélange de plusieurs races : de caniche, de beagle et bien d’autres encore.
Brandy est noir avec des taches blanches. Même si, elle a 12 ans, elle était active et espiègle, jouant toujours dans le jardin avec ses jouets. Elle remuait toujours la queue et il me semble qu’elle souriait tous le temps. L’année dernière, elle est tombée malade. Elle ne pouvait pas marcher ou dormir et était très agitée. Ma voisine l’a montrée au vétérinaire. D’abord, il a pensé que Brandy n’était que déshydratée. Ensuite, il a déclaré que peut-être elle avait une tumeur. Après avoir effectué plus de tests, il croyait qu’elle souffrait de démence. Honnêtement, je pensais que le vétérinaire n’en avait aucune idée. Finalement, les tests ont confirmé que Brandy avait un cancer et il a prescrit les médicaments.
Grâce aux médicaments, Brandy semblait aller mieux. Je la voyais dans le jardin avec ses jouets. Malheureusement, la semaine dernière, ma voisine m’a dit que Brandy est encore tombée malade et ma voisine avait peur que le cancer se soit propagé. Le vétérinaire en qui je n’ai aucune confiance, a affirmé que la fin est proche et ma voisine se prépare au pire.

- Я фанатка мексику еду.
+ Тебе понравится пляжи.
- Мне не нравится пляжи, назови меня странной (=call me weird).
+ Как тебе нравится чили?
- Мексики чили просто нереально классно! Мне нравится почти всё, кроме тахин ('tajín', not 'tahini'). Не понимаю почему кто-нибудь подумал 'ммм, этот вкусно фрукт нужно быть острым. О, да, давайте добавим чили с худшим вкусом тоже, так что этот вкусный фрукт будет полностью испорчен'.
+ Тахин очень классный ахаха, а также чамой (chamoy). В Испании вы едите фрукты без чили?
- Конечно! Как и остальной мир, в основном (=like the rest of the world, basically).
Я никогда не попыталась чамой, но хочу. Не знаю, где я бы смогла это найти здесь. Звучит вкусно.
+ Моя мама всегда готовит странную еду. Например, она вчера приготовила рыбу с манговым соусом.
- Тебе нравится, что твоя мама готовит?
+ Ну да. А тебе нравится, что твоя мама готовит?
- Нет))

PRODUCTION ASSISTANT: ENCODER/VIEWER
Sorting files from yesterday’s pictorial:
•I’d check the email if there are students that want to change their chosen pictures.
•I’d encode their chosen pictures from their J.O.’s into the pc.
-I’d add something at the end of the chosen picture filename to indicate that it’s the photo they chose.
-I’d create a folder and I’ll put only chosen photos from yesterday’s pictorial.
•After I encode the chosen pictures, I will now transfer it into our backup drives.
•I’d create a batch of only chosen pictures of a certain date and give it to the editors.
•If there is a pictorial like the Makati, SHS, or White Coat, Sir Abe will give me an Excel spreadsheet where I’ll put the chosen photos of the students.
Downloading/Viewing:
•The photographer will hand me the sd card along the J.O. of the students after their photoshoot is finished.
•I’d copy the contents of the sd card into the pc and create another folder named *student name* and that’s where I’ll put his/her pictures.
•I’d call the student if his/her pictures are ready for viewing.
•I’d tell the student that I called for viewing to fill-out on the pictorial sheet.
•I’d open the pictures for them and tell the student to choose one photo per set (e.g., 3 sets of pictures for Legacy, 5 Sets for Silver, and 6 Sets for Platinum) that they want to be printed out.
•After they choose, if they availed the free magazine promo, I’ll open the photos they chose (except white background toga) and among those, they’ll choose 1 picture that they want for their magazine cover.
•I’d ask whether they brought a flash drive or not. (I’ll give their raw pictures)
•I’d now transfer the photos to them; If they don’t have a flash drive, I’ll send the pictures to their email through Google Drive.
•I sometimes would cut/frame pictures if they’re all busy and there’s a student claiming a picture that is in studio but not ready.
•I sometimes assist students when they’re taking the printed copies of their graduation pictorial.
•I sometimes would set-up selfie booth and assist the students how to operate that thing.

Death in Western Movies
I have seen some Western movies which focus on the late 19th to early 20th century, generally in the far West of America.
It appears the kind cowboys and notorious criminals were easy to die due to fighting or shooting each other, even leading to a whole family was made to perish. They didn't show any sympathy for the deceased. Owning some doubts about the large amount of death from the films, I have searched on the internet want to discover some unknown reason. I found that's not an actual thing in real Western lands during the period.
In fact, regardless of whether they were ordinary citizens, cowboys, police, and even notorious criminals, all tried their best to avoid any conflicts with each other. Especially didn't use guns unless inevitable.
Human lives were respected and regarded as precious more than today in the barren western lands. The scenes we saw in the cinema were largely exaggerated.

¿Qué es lo que más te gusta y más detestas de tu país?
Soy francesa y vivo actualmente en Escocia.
Lo que mas me gusta con la Francia es su amor por los productos locales y artesanales. Echo de menos el queso fresco, o recoger los albaricoques salvajes. Viniendo desde el sur, cerca la frontera espanola tambien extrano partir en las montanas, ver paisajes diferentes en menos de una hora de distancia uno del otros. Puede elegir entre la frescura de los Pirineos, los castillos medievales en Carcasona o il mare Mediterraneo hacia la ciudad de Perpignan. Adoro el cine y me gustan el sarcasmo, la classe, la melancolia y el humor de los actores frances.
Lo que me disgusta mas es la presuncion de algunos. Los tiempos cambian pero lo recuerdo asi. No soporto el calor del sur. El servicios tambien es otra historia! El frances casi nunca esta de buen humor por trabajar y sabe defenderse.
Aqui esta mi opinion sobre la francia.

Sentences, April 27th, 2023.
Men normally don't use to spend hours picking out a suitable clothing in each accasion as women normally do. It save us a lot of time, mainly when we are rush.
I got afistrate product, the way as you like. D o you whant to buy it? Needless to say that you can return it if you don't like. But I'll give you a certainly, You'll see the results straight forward.
Our unaware thoughts can play acausal role in many issues in our lives, without we even figure it out. They are, many times, the invisible force that drives our motivation, or the lack of them.
When this thoughts get long enough maneging somebody's behaviour, the things can go from bat to worse leading the person towards a pit called depression.
This morning my wife hug me from my back, lifted me up and knocked me on the floor, falling down with me too.
Forget it, I'll not finish it overnigh, it really takes long. I think you going to spend about two years working on it.

La petite torture
La petite tortue est petite et mignonne. La petite tortue sort lentement de sa coquille, qui est sa armure. Avec deux bandes rouges de chaque côté de la tête, rouges comme le feu. Elle a de petits yeux comme des perles noires ou vertes, un nez pointu et une bouche minuscule.
elle étend ses pattes courts et étire sa queue fine, et rampe autour du balcon .

Formal Email 3
To whom it may concern,
My name is Sergio and I am a member of the club. I am writing in reply to the email which was sent to all of the members yesterday. I would like to express my thoughts about this issue. I consider that this challenging situation must be addressed as soon as possible. For this reason, I would like to give you some solutions about how to approach it. To solve the economic matter, we have reached an agreement to pay an extra fee for the club membership. Additionally, we would like to prepare a meeting to discuss the sponsor's issue further. We hope this will be taken into account, as we cherish all the moments and experiences we have shared together. Be that as it may, I believe it is important to take action quickly and find a solution that benefits everyone. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and please let me know if there is any further information or support that I can provide.
Yours sincerely, Sergio.

Is there a way to say these sentences more naturally?
I'd like to speak English more naturally and not sound like a textbook. 🙇♂️
Since this is casual conversation, there is no need to correct mistakes in capitalization, casing, or forgetting to type a period. Also, sorry for the length.🙏
Which name would you like your girlfriend to call you?
I already know.
That's kind of tough actually.
Really?
All right. I think I get it.
Three two one.
Okay. Wait!
Am I the odd one out this time? Are you kidding me?
You, are... explain!
I mean I just like to be called my name.
I like that too, though like I like being called my name but also babe on top of it is nice. Because that's just a level of intimacy that you don't have with anyone else.
Yeah, that's true. I like the special privilege. It should be called like something different. That's why I went with baby.
Yeah, same here.
What do you usually use?
I always say my love.
Does me too actually. I use love more than anything.
Babe. I used to use it. It feel so young.
Darling? I don't know who uses that. Who uses that. I've never heard of anyone actually use that, except for on television.
I'll say that ironically as a bit of a joke not in a serious way.
What did you pick?
Two. I've never dated anyone from overseas, so I've never been called babe and darling.
What are you usually called?
It's either my name or a nickname. I think nicknames are a good way to go. It's boring to have the same name every time. I like to call each other by whatever name we think is funny or cute. But if I had only the choices I want to be called "babe". I imagined it, and it's pretty good.

Which is the most attractive?
Oh this is tough. This is actually tough but it's also kind of easy.
Like what makes her attractive technically, right?
Basically, yeah.
Okay. Three two one.
Oh, let's go.
I like how both of you were like *stares*
We gotta check on you. Can you imagine if he's like "3"? I'm like what!?
Haha. You have to vibe with the person.
Yeah, it's so sexy too. If you connect on the same level of humor, it's oh my god and it's such a nice feeling.
Just like it makes spending time with that person so much easier.
Yeah, so much easier yeah yeah.
Even if you guys don't typically share the same humor if you guys can understand each other, it's still like great. It's fashion can always be worked on.
Yeah, for sure.
Cocking like what?
Yeah, we can also work on that too but you can't really work on someone's humor. If i'm laughing, you like ... , it's like okay well I guess I gotta go. I guess I should leave, sorry for boring you with my date, you know.
Next one, next one.
Last one.
Noooo. This sucks the worst part of the day right here.

Which is your favorite way to hold hands?
Oh, this is interesting. Have I ever thought of this, absolutely not.
Now that I see it actually I can see my favorite way of holding hands.
I think I got mine.
I kind of get mine.
Okay. Three two one.
Always you, man. Why you gotta be so different.
What's wrong with you guys.
You're the odd out here, man.
I was going to pick three.
Oh, really.
I like it sometime.
That's not the primary method, you know.
I feel it's cute. I mean I like it. But when I'm like typically holding hands, it's typically the lock.
Yeah, you got to lock it.
I don't want no one to break the boundaries. Also I'm nervous of my pinky.
What.
I'm scared.
That it's going to rip off?
Yeah, I feel it's going to break. It's so fragile, you know. I don't know, I don't really like my pinky being held very much.
And, if it's not number two, it's usually number one.
Really. I can't do that.
Oh really? It's fine.
That's weird.
Oh no no no, this is like,
That's like a friend.
Well...
Haha
You hold hands like that with friend?
No.
I get what you say. You don't always lock.
Yeah, you don't always lock and my fingers get tired of it.
Yeah, yeah. So the reason I picked three is because I don't like holding hands in general that much. I like when it's like just like for a minite or two locking it for a second and then release it again. Also I get sweaty hands very easily.
Me too. Me too. Me too. Me too.

Which is your favorite hairstyle?
This is easy for me.
Really. This is tough for me.
I think I know.
Wait. Wait. Okay. I think I got it.
Three two one.
We're always kind of. You're always splitting from the pack, man. What did you pick?
I picked three. Actually I like long hair. That's why I like braids, I like ponytails, I like a messy bun but I like myself a nice ponytail, I don't know why. Ponytail for me.
I picked messy bun actually for that reason too though. I also like long hair. So when she's in a messy bun, it's pulled back a little bit and then she takes it out, pooh! What are do you doing.(Whatchu doing? )What are you doing, you know. And Japanese men like the nape of a woman's neck and me too that's why I chose three, which shows it more.
Why did you pick?
I just like that natural look. Like the look where it looks like she's not putting in too much work. So I really like that. And I don't like those braids so that's why it kind of.
Really. I like them all, to be honest.

Which clothes do you want women to wear to a party?
I know which one I'm not picking.
Me too.
For me, it's very obvious actually.
Really.
I guess I know what I'm picking.
Shall we?
Wait, wait, wait... Okay. Shall we.
Three two one.
Toshi, why two?
I guess it's like kind of classy. I like it. One and three I don't know. It just doesn't do it for me.
What did you pick?
One
What were you debating with?
Three.
Really?
Yeah, why? I think one is nice and gorgeous, and three is cute.
Oh, my gosh. Not three.
Definitely not three.
Really?!
Three is like what?
Like what, are we cinderella.
No, what's wrong with Cinderella? I like Elle Fanning, and the moment I saw three, I pictured her in it. That's why I thought it was cute.
Why didn't you pick two?
Two is cool, but too cool for my taste.
Really. I think two is just... it just fits. I mean I can see 2 as, like, a throw-it-back party.
Two is like for any type.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got it. I like it.
