Topic:
Companies should provide sports and social facilities for local communities.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
MY ESSAY:
Some people think that public facilities for sports and social activities should be provided by businesses. I mostly disagree as this should be the responsibility of governments.
There are several reasons that justify organizations’ provision of communal facilities. They typically gain profit from the community, so it is important for them to give back in one way or another. This can help the public see their brands in a more positive light, fostering relationships and support from the local area. Consequently, consumers may choose their products preferentially over competitors. However, providing public facilities can leave a more lasting impact on potential consumers than other ways such as donating and doing charities. In particular, a company can build a park in the area where its target customers live, so they can make use of it along with their families for many years. This results in a long-lasting reminder of the company’s good deeds.
However, it is the duty of governments, not the business sector, to provide communal facilities. Indeed, corporate social responsibility is already fulfilled by paying taxes, and their net profit may not be enough for building such facilities. In contrast, the purposes of government are to safeguard the public interest, and their revenue from corporate and personal income tax should be allocated to provide and upgrade facilities for the public. In addition, states have the authority to regulate land use, so they are able to identify potential locations and undertake large-scale projects more easily than businesses.
In conclusion, while supplying communal facilities for sports and social activities can help organizations improve their brand’s image and boost sales, it is actually the duty of the government to fund this by making use of tax revenue and their control over land.

Q&A (Hometown)
Q:After you graduate do you want to live in your hometown? Why or why not?
A:I don't want to live in my hometown.
The reason are twofold. One is that I want to keep a distance from my parents. I don't want my parents meddle in what I do. If I lived in my hometown, my parents come to my house frequently and comments on what I do.
The other is for job. In my hometown, there were few jobs and most of them were low salary. To pay off my student loans, I needed to get a job with a slightly higer income. I wanted to leave my hometown because the salaries are higher in the city center.

Spicker
Als ich Schülerin war, hat meine Lieblingslehrerin uns gesagt, dass sich bei der Herstellung von Spickzetteln das Material sehr gut wiederholen lässt. Ich habe diesen Ratschlag seitdem sehr oft benutzt. Wenn man einen sinnvollen Spicker vorberaiten will, muss man die wichtigsten Informationen zusammenfassen und sie dann kurz und knapp, aber auch logisch aufschreiben. Damit lernt man ganz intesiv, der Spicker wird ein stummer Lehrer. Ob man dieses Zettel später bei der Klassenarbeit verwendet oder nicht, ist eine Frage der Moral. Meiner Meinung nach, lohn sich das Risiko einfach nicht.
Ich habe nur ein paar mal in meinem Studentleben bei Prüfungen abgeschrieben. Das war immer, wenn der Lehrer bzw. die Lehrerin zu streng war. Sie oder er verlangte, dass Student/innen alles für die Prüfung auswendig lernten. Keine Abweichung, keine “Kreativitär war erlaubt. Für mich ist das kein Lernen, sondern dummloses Pauken. Glücklicherweise hatten wir solche Lehrer/innen nur bei Nebenfächern. Ich begründete meine Entscheidung zu spicken immer auf dieser Weise: “Wenn die Lehrerin sich um ihre Arbeit nicht kümmert, wieso sollte ich?”
Als ich selbst Lehrerin wurde, habe ich meine Meinung nicht geändert. Ich habe verstanden, dass wenn Schüler allein durch Spicker zu guten Nomen kommen konnten, liegt das Problem darin, wie die Prüfung gestellt wurde. Frage ich eigentlich irgendwelche Fakten ab, oder verlange ich eigenständige gedankliche Leistungen? Meines Erachtens sind in gut gestellten Prüfungen Spicker völlig nutzlos.

日本に帰る可能性について
今日はニュースで今から日本に帰れると読んだ。ワクチン接種完了者と陰性な検査の人が国に入れるそうだ。そのニュースを読んですごくうれしくなった。2016年初めて会ったホストファミリとまた会いたかったけど、もちろん過去3年間行けなかった。来年の最初の3か月ぐらい忙しいけど、できれば3月に日本に帰りたい。3月が無理なら秋に行ってもいいと思う。（秋だったら、絶対に仙台に行って黄葉や秋の景色を見に行きたい！）
日本に帰るまで絶対に日本語がうまくなりたい。ホストファミリとほとんどペラペラ話せて一人でも日本に何でもできていいなあと思うからだ。でも行けなかったときはモチベーションがなかなか無くなった。勉強の意味／理由がなくなったみたいな感じだった…でも今日帰れると聞いたからモチベーションが急に上がった。今から一所懸命頑張ります！

「赤信号を無視する兄弟」という落語を書いてみた
最近書く能力を伸ばそうと思っているので、頑張って落語を書いてみました。おそらく落語の伝統的なスタイルなどに従わなくてただの冗談になったかもしれませんが、楽しくお読みになって、ユーモアが違和感なしで通じるようにご添削頂ければ幸いです。
赤信号を無視する兄弟
車に乗っていたある人が二人いた。Aさんが運転し、友達のBさんが助手席に座っていた。
赤信号の交差点に近寄ると、Aさんが突然猛スピードを出し、走り抜けていった。
Bさんは酷い衝撃を受け、「おい！！赤見なかったんだい？」と、叫び声を出した。
「大丈夫だから！運転が上手い兄が教えてくれたし。」と、Aさんが答えた。
そんな予想もしない答えに当惑するあまりでBさんが数分黙り込んでいった。ところが、いよいよ口に出す力を見つけた。
「なら、なぜそんなお兄さんは赤信号を無視するのが危ないって教えてくれてないのか？」
Aさんは言った。「いやいや、赤信号わかるもん！でもちゃんと走った方がさ、目標に着くのが早いって利点もあるよ。」
「なのに事故で死んだ方が早く着く訳ないだろう...」とブツブツBさんが不平を言ってから、車内がまたしばらく沈黙になっていった。
やがてまた赤信号の交差点に近寄ると、Aさんが前回同様に猛スピードを出し、走り抜けていった。後ろから他の車の怒ったクラクションの音が漂ってきた。
「いい加減にしろよ、お前！僕を殺したいの？？」と、Bさんがキレた。
何気なくクスクスと、Aさんが言った。「そんなことないよ。兄がちゃんと運転を教えてくれたんで、任せとけ！」
「任せとけじゃない！お兄さんの運転怖すぎるぞ！」
「すぐ慣れるよ、この運転。兄も僕も事故あったことないから、心配するな！」と、Aさんが赤信号を無視する兄の持論を言い張った。
やがてまた交差点に近寄ったが、今回は青信号だった。
「最低限走り抜けても安全だよな」と、Bさんが心の中で思った。
だが、驚くことにAさんが急ブレーキをかけ、砂煙を上げながら車を止めた。すると、また不満なクラクションが後ろから聞こえてきた。
我慢の限界に追いやられたBさんが叫び出した。「おめえ、絶対何もわからないバカじゃない！？青信号なのに止まるなんかさ、それもお兄さんが教えてくれたデタラメな運転だろう？？」
すまそうにAさんが答えた。「いやいや、兄に習ったことじゃないけど...」
「ならなぜ止まってんの？」と、Bさんが問い詰めた。
Aさんは答えた。「あっちから兄の車が来てるかと思ってたんだ。」

Pour garder le moral, faut-il éviter l’actualité ?
Je pense que « éviter » n’est pas le mot correct, mais peut-être « rationner ». À ce propos, j’ai récemment parlé avec deux français des rationnements de carburant en France. L’un a eu un avis assez catastrophiste sur les évènements et a dit que la télévision ne donne pas beaucoup de confiance aux français sur ce sujet. L’autre a eu l’avis plutôt que, bien sûr, les choses semblent difficiles en ce moment, mais on a vécu les pénuries déjà et que ça irait dans l’avenir. Je ne dis pas que j’ai la réponse finale sur ce sujet, en tant qu’étranger déconnecté des évènements, mais il me semble que, si on n’a pas le contrôle sur des choses de toute façon, consommer trop d’actualités perturbants, ça ne sert à rien sauf augmenter son anxiété.

Quattro miti sull'ecologia (1/2)
Oggi, vorrei scrivere un testo in due partie su quattro miti comuni sull'ecologia.
#1 — Le soluzioni sono sempre tecniche
Uno dei miti più comuni, è anche uno dei più pericolosi, è l'idea che la soluzione alla crisi ecologica globale si trova in soluzioni puramente tecniche. Si può sentire/leggere spesso questo mito. Alcuni anni fa, ci era stato detto che la "dematerialisazione" permessa dall'economia numerica sarebbe risultato in una diminuzione delle emissioni di CO2 e, più generalmente, del nostro impatto sulla planeta. Naturalmente, i dati transitono per veri data center, computer ed antenne, perciò, non abbiamo "dematerializzato" niente. Al contrario, consumiamo sempre più metalli, particolarmente metalli rari (ringraziamo l'indium per gli schermi tattili!).
Un'altro effetto perverso di questa idea è l'effetto rimbalzo. È vero che tutte le automobili costruite oggi emettono meno CO2 dei propri equivalenti costruiti venti anni fa, ma al stesso tempo, più vetture si sono vendute, perché sono meno care ed ironicamente, perché l'argomento delle "automobili ecocompatibili" è diventato un'argomento di venta! Alla fine, consumano meno individualmente, ma globalmente, hanno un impatto più grande.
#2 — Il nostro impatto è ciò che usiamo
Spesso, gli industriali presentano i vantaggi ecologici di un prodotto in funzione dei risparmi che il suo uso permette, ma è una visione imparziale delle coso. In realtà, si deve conoscere l'impatto ecologico di tutte le etape della vita del prodotto, dalla fabbricazione dei materiali fino al riciclaggio, per sapere quanto questo prodotto inquina realmente.
Recentemente, ascoltavo un'ingeniere specialista dell'industria mineraria parlare delle lampadine a basso consumo. È vero che durano più a lungo delle lampadine ad incandescenza classiche, e che permettono risparmi energetici sostanziali. Tuttavia, contengono mercurio e polveri fluorescenti molto tossici, è il proprio riciclaggio è molto difficile, cioè impossibile, nel caso dei paesi dove l'infrastruttura per il riciclaggio di prodotti semplici manca già. Pertanto, se si prende il ciclo entero della vita delle lampadine a basso consumo, sono potenzialmente più pericoloso per l'ambiente delle lampadine classiche.

A little about Kurt Cobain
Kurt Cobain was a famous musician who has stayed in history due to his talent and unforgettable tunes. But what do we know about his life? His family had an odd history—many of Kurt’s relatives committed suicide because of bipolar disorder, depression, or alcohol abuse. Because of that, a lot of relatives would be scared that they'd also want to end their lives.
Also, many members of his family were involved in music and spotted Kurt’s musical and artistic talents early, which was hardly surprising given the fact that Kurt got into music from two years old. Kurt’s aunt introduced him to classical artists and let him listen to music on vinyl at her home. When he was about ten, he played drums; later he asked his family for a guitar for his birthday.
In his early childhood, he was an energetic and cheerful boy, but then his character changed. He gradually became distant from his classmates and relatives when he started to listen to music and spend time in the library. After that, he decided that it was better to spend time on his own. Nonetheless, because he always stood out from anyone else, people around him continued to take an interest in him.
He dropped out of college right before the year when he would have graduated, which was shocking for his family and anyone who knew him. The decision to drop out of college was the worst decision you could make in America at this time. Nonetheless, Kurt didn’t worry—he was seriously about getting into music by this time.
He took jobs from time to time, but none of them were able to catch his interest. Also, he had to move in and out all the time with his friends or girlfriends for different reasons—sometimes he ran out of money because he didn't have a job, and sometimes he just kicked his neighbours out from the flat. He was often pissed off and couldn't get on with his friends—he mostly enjoyed being on his own.
Despite disagreements with his friends, Kurt was still determined to build a career as a musician, so he put a band together to play with them. Often during this time bands split up as soon as they were assembled. Finally, Kurt put together Nirvana, and this band was successful. At some point, one of the music labels spotted Nirvana's worth and the band got their first contract. Soon after that, they were on their first tour.
Kurt was unmistakably a talented showman. He gave his all on the stage, smashing up his guitars, and singing songs that devolved into wild screaming. This musical dynamics became Nirvana’s trademark, and most of their future releases were made in this style—at first slow and calm, then suddenly loud and quick.
Nirvana quickly became famous, especially when radio stations started including their songs in playlists. Their shows were often sold out, the band was staying in luxurious hotels which they had never seen before. Between tours, Kurt would stay home and paint. He would use a lot of different materials: acrylic and clay, blood, and sometimes even his sperm.
Nonetheless, there were also some problems in the Kurt's life. At first, he kicked the band's bassist out for no real reason, then he argued with the label that gave them a contract. Also, Kurt had chronic stomach pain that caused painful vomiting; unfortunately, doctors weren't able to diagnose the reason. Thereby, he was obliged to adapt his life to cope with this constant torment.
It came harder and harder for him to endure the insane tempo of tours and get on with the other band members. Yet Kurt was sure that Nirvana could make its way to fame.

12 octobre 2022 - le meilleur souvenir d’enfance
Je crois que le meilleur souvenir d’enfance est les moments passés chez mes grands-parents en chine pendant juillet et août. Pendant tous les vacances de l’école primaire, ma mère me laissait chez mes grands-parents pour qu’elle pouvait aussi avoir des vacances. Je participais aux cours de dessin et de calligraphie un jour sur deux pour le matin, et je crois que c’est pourquoi je suis plutôt bonne en arts maintenant. Peut-être, pendant un ou deux vacances, on m’a arrangé de classe d’écrire et lire pour améliorer mon chinois. Pour le reste du temps, soit je m’amusais avec ma petite cousine, soit je faisais mes devoirs de vacances. Ma grand-mère faisait toujours de goûter délicieux et chaque nuit, je pouvais boire du lait vraiment frais… en gros, je mangeais plutôt bien chez mes grands-parents.
C’est vrai que la condition de vie n’était pas aussi bonne par rapport à Hong Kong et en effet, quand je reviens à la ville de mes grands-parents, je ne l’aime pas beaucoup. Mais je crois que c’est l’amusement que j’avais contribué à ce beau souvenir !

Novel
Recently, I've been reading a novel called ”本好きの下剋上” (English title is “Ascendance of a Bookworm”.)
It is a popular work that has also been animated.
I heard that there are also Taiwanese and English versions edition.
This story is a different world fantasy, but there are many very Japanese motif expressions, so I think that many of the contents may be difficult for foreign readers to understand.
I wonder how it is translated.

For the Jobs That We Hate
To be honest, I’ve never wanted to become a celebrity, a famous musician, or an artist. Regardless of whether or not my classmates and I liked to, teachers encouraged us to be vocal only about what I call “commercial dreams.” For me, it has always been more meaningful to do what I like than what others consider interesting. However, I rarely received positive feedback from my teachers. While other students shared wishes like “to be a CEO of a corporation” or “to become a millionaire,” I've simply wanted to read and write.
Many of my classmates got into tech professions in college, even though they didn't like them or weren't inclined to them. When I've asked them why they had chosen these specialties, I was struck by the answers. They told me that technology is evolving day by day, and they had to choose a job that may bring them the biggest profit in the future.
It made me think a lot about modern priorities and values. It seems that today many of us are more driven by financial goals than by our inclinations. When I've talked with my peers, I've been noticing more and more their compromises with themselves. Their choice of career had nothing to do with interest but then it offered regular income and stability. Day by day, my peers are required to do things they consider dull to produce profit for their employers. Of course, there have always been people who are interested only in money, but I wonder how in only for a couple of decades have we become obsessed with financial prosperity.
Many of my acquaintances are in IT. It's ridiculous, but they've told me they hate it. The phrase, “I work in a start-up” may sound impressive, but in reality this job may not be so appealing. The main start-up workers' goal often is not to create a high-quality product, but to pump it out on the market as fast as possible, and then sell its prototype version to business angels. “Work on the product” usually doesn't include the implementation of employees’ views and ideas; they’re just the doers of tasks. Even in so-called "brainstorm sessions," designed to foster teamwork and creative vision, bosses have the final say in all matters.
It's difficult staying interested in a job you don’t like, let alone getting pleasure from it. When you're doing something you don't enjoy, you feel like you’re struggling with everything. The longer you do it, the more likely you’ll become annoyed by literally everything— not only bosses but also colleagues and tasks. Certainly, at some point you work out you do something wrong. However, at this point, you might find yourself sitting in the same office your entire life, attached to the workplace by a huge salary. All these things may sound terrifying, but most people are living like that day to day because a paycheck is too irresistible. In my point of view, it’s absolute madness.
In the workplace, many things can make you angry but if in general you like what you do, you won't be too disappointed. Anyone who broadcasts to the public that only money can make them happy, is lying. The CEOs are convinced that an incentive such as money is enough to motivate workers, but—hardly surprising—they’re wrong. While some sources state that financial success is truly enough for happiness, others believe that it’s not quite like that. It’s important not to idealise the role of money in our lives, even though this is becoming harder and harder to do in today’s consumer culture. Certainly, having finances is useful—at the very least, they help us not to worry about daily bills and overdue loans. For some, money somehow gives meaning to their lives—acquiring new stuff might be quite engaging. Nowadays, money seems to be a new trend or even a religion. It's crystal clear that today we don’t stop buying things even if we already have plenty.
Many factors propel the rise of commercial perception of life. First of all, all kinds of goods are now available to everyone, whereby you can buy anything in one click. Today we don’t use phones or wear t-shirts until they're worn out; instead, we simply buy a new one just because we want one. Secondly, advertisements have invaded all parts of our lives. We watch ads on our smartphones and smartwatches, not to mention the TV right in your living room. Today’s social media continue to show us a variety of appealing products, which then again increase our craving for shopping. We are buying and throwing away, and doing it again and again. Purchases are not about an actual need; they're only about our hankering.
Whenever you decide you want something and feel like you can no longer wait to fulfill your desire, remember about mass advertising and the propaganda of shopping. Today you can buy every kind of product imaginable, but do you really need it? People internalised the idea that money can give them everything, and made a profitable career synonymous with happiness. Meanwhile, this idea is not only superficial, but also harmful. Even though the average workday has been reduced in comparison with the past, we didn't start working less and having more free time.
Some of us in a way welcome the cages which we're building for ourselves. Many of us live with a state of mind that lets us think only of salaries and careers, not questioning anything else. This life may look pretty from the outside, but is that how it feels? I’m not sure. When we turn to dust, who’ll care about everything we own? I mean, life is a kind of short-lived anyway and by the time you figure out why so many people are unhappy with their jobs and yet they still work at them, it might be too late. So maybe try doing something you actually like?

How I changed my place of living
I had always liked living in big cities—at first, my family had lived in a huge metropolis, where my parents were getting an education while I was at school. It was a grim, depressing city that suited more, I realise now, professional people who craved careers and success. Millions of people were hustling there day by day, forgetting about calmness and losing their minds. The weather was mostly cold, and the long dark streets I walked through made me often think of monsters and ghosts. I never liked this city but couldn't change anything. After all, it was the place to live that my parents chose.
Both of them went to work early in the morning and returned late, usually when I slept. Neither they, nor I, had time to spend with each other: I was busy with school, and they were dealing with their adult jobs. In some way, this city helped me to understand at least one fact— I don’t want to live in a place like that.
When I grew up, I decided to move to another city. This one was similarly dark and cold as the previous city, but, at least, I chose it by myself. Any young adult appreciates freedom, and I was not an exception. Amazed by the idea of building a life by myself and spending time as I wanted, I didn’t pay much attention to anything I didn’t like there: crowded streets, noisy people, polluted air, and garbage here and there. Many things there made me uncomfortable, but I was too young and too arrogant to notice the bleakness of the city where I decided to live. I wanted to have an amazing life there and nothing could stop me.
Firstly, I decided to create a comfortable home, so after paying unreasonable rent for a gloomy flat, I headed to the local mall. There were all kinds of things to help make an IKEA-like house, and I gazed at small lampshades and cuddly toys for quite a long time. In the end, I bought a big wool blanket, a garland, and about a thousand various decorations, from glasses to rugs. After I put everything in order in the flat, I felt great. The apartment was still wretched and gloomy, and I couldn’t help thinking that it was quite a strange place, but, in general, I was pleased by my efforts to make it look good.
However, I hadn't lived in this place for even a year, and already I was not happy. It turned out that I overrated my ability to adjust to unpleasant conditions. No doubt, the city was impressive and sparkly, and there were a lot of small restaurants and pubs. You could walk for hours and always find new, amazing places. I had a job and friends there, and I'd even found small libraries and bookshops that become my favourite spots in the city. And yet I couldn’t bear living there.
Crowded streets made me anxious, and constant noise caused me headaches. If I wanted to spend some time in a library, I had to cross half of the city to get there, and if I wanted to buy a coffee, I often had to wait in a long line. More than that, this metropolis just made me depressed. Maybe it was its weather, with constant wind and rain, or possibly it was the gloomy people that I saw day after day. It seemed they forgot how to laugh, always busy with their jobs and projects. So, finally, I decided to move to another place.

Un nouveau appartement
En deux-mille-douze, ma femme et moi est allées à Whistler, au Canada, pour deux mois, pendant les jeux Olympics hiver, et les jeux Paralympics hiver. Quand on était là-bas, on a acheté un nouveau appartement à Londres. Avant on voyageait, on a vendu notre appartement et on a essayé d'acheter un nouveau appartement. Mais, les vendeurs de l'appartement que on a aimé ont refusé notre offre. Cependant, quand on avait à Whistler, on a vu l'appartement redevenir à vendu sur l'internet. Donc, on a fait un nouveau offre et leur accepté.

Please review my essay
IELTS Speaking question part 3:
Describe an interesting job you want to do in the future.
You should say:
What it is.
How you can get this job.
What kinds of work you would do for the job.
And explain why you want to have it.
I have always been good at English since I started learning it in middle school. As a result, I always want to work in a field that can make use of that. So, I have got a bachelor’s degree in international business and worked as an export-import coordinator. However, the stress from dealing with difficult customers made me quit after 2 years. Now, I would like to become an IELTS English teacher, and I am actually preparing to become one.
This is because there is an increasing demand for IELTS teachers in Vietnam as 12th graders who receive an IELTS score of 4 to 6.5 and above will be exempted from the English test of the national high school graduation exams and admitted to several top universities. Consequently, more and more IELTS private institutions have been built, and they only require their applicants for teacher positions to have an IELTS score of 7.5 and above.
I prepared for about 1 year before sitting the test. For that year, I have tried to write 2 essays for the writing part and answer 3 speaking questions each day, as well as listen to one listening test and write it down each week.
In my opinion, being an English teacher is not really psychologically demanding as most of the time they work with students, who tend to respect their teachers. In addition, private institutions typically provide their teachers with teaching materials such as plan books and textbooks, and they do not really need to prepare lesson plans. I have seen many of my friends enrolling in a course of these institutions and quitting right after 3 weeks. So, I think this job is a rather easy job with a decent wage. However, I plan to work for one institution for about 4 years and gradually gain a reputation and network. Then I would like to open a small one-teacher private institution myself in my own home. And one class would include more than 10 students. I think this would be a very lucrative and stable business.
