子どものごろ、僕はジャズバンドに入っていた。
そのバンドに入る数ヶ月前、父にジャズのコンサートに誘われた。父と行く初めてのコンサートだったが、当時はあまり興味がなかったので、特に何も感じずにただ付いていった。実際に聴いてみると、すごく感動した。20名ほどのメンバーがそれぞれに活き活きと演奏していて、ソロでは素晴らしい技術と表現力を存分に発揮し、すべての曲がとにかく最高だった。あまり聞いたことがないジャンルだったということもあって、とても衝撃的な体験だった。
コンサートが終わったあと、「どうだった?」と父に聞かれたので、「すごくよかった!」と答えると、そのままステージ裏へと連れていかれた。出演者たちを見つけると父は僕に、彼らに話しかけるよう促した。すごく緊張したが、僕は彼らに「僕もこのバンドで演奏したい」と思いを伝えた。何の楽器を演奏できるのか聞かれ、ピアノと答えると、練習場につれていかれ、何か演奏をするように言われた。2曲ほど演奏するとバンドの一人が父に名刺を渡しながら、何か話していた。
その後、あるバンドオーディションに招待され、合格し、3人の同い年の子供たちとジャズバンドを結成することになった。今はそのバンドは解散してしまったが、5年間楽しく活動することができた。
ジャズが好きになったのはすべて父のおかげだ。

皆さん、次は日本語のクラスで書いた計画です。私の計画はガイドとして小樽に行くつもりです。とても長いので、本当にありがとうございます!中国語と英語が勉強しているなら、私も改めることができます。よろしくお願いします!
私のプロジェクトの旅行は、日本の有名な映画『ラブレター』を撮る場所としてよく知られている、雪の町です。
この旅行では北海道の小さい、海の隣の町ーー小樽に行きます。 北海道というと、ほとんどの外国人は札幌を覚えているだけです。でも実は、小樽は北海道の『心臓』と呼ばれています。
東京から飛行機で1時間半ぐらいかかります。新幹線もあるですか、乗り換えの時間が全て8時間までかかりますので、飛行機はもっと便利です。
北海道のような寒い場所にあってでも、小樽は四つの季節を感じやすい町です。でも、小樽に行くのは冬が一番いいです。雪の景色は小樽の独的な美しさからです。毎年の2月は「雪あかりの路」という雪のお祭りがあります。それから、最も寒い時に、船を乗りながら流れているの氷を見ることができます。「雪あかりの路」は 1999年で始まった祭まつりです。町にあった深い雪の掃除と道に綺麗になるために、町の人は雪とあかりで色んな手作りをできました。お祭りの間、道に色んな雪ランプと雪を作った人形が見えます。川の上でもランプがあります。とても綺麗だし、ロマンチックだし、カップルや家の子供達は一緒に雪を遊べます。
小樽を旅行する楽しみの一つは、町の中で散歩しながら、歴史的な建物と文化を見ることです。そして、小樽のIC駅から15分くらい運転すると, 天狗山に着けます。 この天狗山にロープウェイに乗れるし、スキーもできます。山に登ると、小樽全部の海と雪の景色も見えます。
それから、南であるポートで船に乗れば、オホーツク海の流氷を見ることができます。「流氷」というのは流れているの氷のことです。冬の北海道だけてあって、めずらしいです。夜には、近頃の温泉マンションでお湯にもゆっくりできます。
小樽のお土産で有名なのはたくさんガラスで作ったものです。ガラスの工場とお店に入ると、くま、鳥、などいろんなガラス手作りを手に入れます。そして、小樽のフルーツビールも有名いです。ビールなのに、甘すぎないし、酒の味うもつよくないし、女の子にも人気のあるお酒です。彼女やお母さんを良いプレゼントとしてあげることができます。
そして、小樽でシーフードを作った食べ物はおいしいです。「海鮮丼」と言うものは、たくさん種類の魚と刺身が作られた料理です。例えば、海鮮丼にあった「ウニ」と「いくら」は魚の一つ種類で、寿司の中で大事な食べ物です。
冬の小樽は楽しみですよ。みなさん、一緒に雪の中でビールを飲もう!

As the English improvement and cultural exchange program keeps going, I need to get up very early even though I am used to waking up around 9 am in my daily life. This program is held by a university located in Canada. Sadly, there is a huge time difference between Hong Kong and Canada. Hong Kong is fifteen hours ahead of Canada. The program time is set at 4 pm in Canada and I need to attend this program viz Zoom at 7 am in Hong Kong. However, I believe that this program can help me to meet folks around the world and improve my English. I find my classmates a little shy. They are shy to share their opinions and feelings during discussions. I need to take initiative to lead the discussions. It is hard for me since my English is not good. However, this situation has a positive side for me. If most of them are talkative and good at speaking English, I might be shy to share my points. but in this situation, I have more chances to practice my English speaking skills.
Besides the experience of joining the program, the most remarkable thing I would like to share today is the beautiful scenes I realized when I walked home. I walked from MTR station which is near my home around 6 pm. when I walked, the warm wind blew and went across me. I watched the blue skies and the white clouds, I felt peaceful and calm. When I walked alone the street, the sunshine radiated at me and the building, it is very beautiful and I could not find a proper word or expression to explain how wonderful it is. Thanks for the good weather and impressive views, I have good mode today.

No one but my hedge is bullish. I will continue to keep my hedge in ratio of around 70 percent of total exposure.
Chinese regulator's post in Wechat reportedly for the financial firms calling them not to deal with it or something is one of triggers of its plunge on cryptocurrency, whose related shares are all down from at the beginning trading session such as MARA, RIOT, COIN, and MSTR.
Yesterday was a short pause of market correction with many growth stocks reversing higher in investors' barely surfacing appetite notably EV stocks.
I don't have any fear of potential market rebound at this frenzy point in the long run.

오늘은 수요일인데 출근하지 않았다. 빨간 날인 석가탄신일이었기 때문이다. 편소처럼 아침 일찍 일어나서 단어 복습을 하고 게임도 조금 했다. 일하는 날이면 공부와 게임을 한 뒤에 서서히 출근할 준비를 하는데 오늘은 도시락을 싸는 대신 편하게 침대에 누워 소설책을 읽었다. 그 다음에 집은 정리가 덜 돼서 정리를 하고 남편이 집에 돌아오는 것을 기다렸다.
남편이 집에 와서 점심으로 김치 볶음밥을 만들어 줬다. 먹고 나서 우리는 차를 타고 친구를 데리러 갔다. 왜냐하면 우리는 서울에 같이 가기로 했기 때문이다. 전쟁기념관에 가서 6.25 전재에 대해 배웠다. 가본 적이 2~3번이나 이미 있었는데 박물관이 넓고 배울 것이 많아서 몇 번이나 가야만 볼 것을 다 보고 이 중요한 역사를 제대로 배울 수 있다.
전쟁기념관에 갔다온 다음에 무한 리필 고기집에 가서 저녁을 맛있게 먹었다. 그리고 마지막으로 날씨가 너무 좋아서 식당 주변에서 산책을 했다. 오늘은 정말 주말 같은 평일이었다.

I had woken up at 8 o'clock today when my mother came in. She said that the electricity was cut off. The weather wasn't nice. It was cloudy and pouring outside. I should admit it wasn't a big surprise that they decided to cut off the power. It happens frequently when the weather is stormy. Luckily I had the opportunity to cancel my English class since my mobile Internet was slow, but enough to send a message.

There is a Korean traditional dessert called tteok.
Tteok is Korean rice cakes and they are made by steaming or boiling grain powder.
When celebrating traditonal festival days, we usually eat tteok.

When Dongji which is the winter solstice, my mother used to give us Susupat tteok.
I am happy that I can eat these various kinds of tteoks.

Aufgabe:
Sie schreiben einen Forumsbeitrag für junge Leute zur Verschmutzung der Umwelt.
Äußern Sie Ihre Meinung zu Plastikverpackungen im Alltag.
Nennen Sie Gründe, warum Plastikverpackungen so verbreitet sind.
Nennen Sie andere Möglichkeiten, Dinge im Alltag zu verpacken.
Nennen Sie Vorteile der anderen Verpackungen.
Denken Sie an eine Einleitung und einen Schluss. Bei der Bewertung wird darauf geachtet, wie genau die Inhaltspunkte bearbeitet sind, wie korrekt der Text ist und wie gut die Sätze und Abschnitte sprachlich miteinander verknüpft sind. Schreiben Sie mindestens 150 Wörter.
Mein Text:
Verschmutzung der Umwelt ist ein großes Problem und einer der größten Gründe dafür ist Plastikverpackungen. Es sieht nicht nur hässlich aus, sondern auch schlecht für die Gesundheit des alle Lebewesens.
Ich finde es so schlimm, dass heutzutage fast alle Ernährungsmittel mit Plastikverpackungen verpackt sind. Als eine Umweltaktivistin versuche ich alles plastikfrei einkaufen. Zum Beispiel kaufe ich unverpacktes Obst und Gemüse auf dem Wochenmarkt ein. Aber ich verstehe natürlich warum Plastikverpackungen so verbreitet sind. Es ist so verdammt billig für große Unternehmen! Es gibt nichts, dass sie so günstig produzieren können. Ich denke aber, dass es ist nicht nur ihre Schuld ist. Die Regierungen sollen neue Gesetze dagegen erlassen, sonst wird es nie aufhören. Natürlich sind Plastikverpackungen auch vorteilhaft für uns, die Kunden. Dank Plastikverpackungen sind viele Ernährungsmittel für sehr lange Zeit haltbar und sehr leicht konservierbar. Man muss nicht jeden Tag Einkaufen gehen, um frische Ernährungsmittel zu kaufen. Aber diese sind keine Ausreden für die Verschmutzung der Umwelt. Es gibt andere Möglichkeiten Dinge im Alltag zu verpacken, z.b. Papier. Papierverpackungen sind biologisch abbaubar und sind auch recycelbar; also man kann sagen, dass es sehr umweltfreundlich ist.
Zum Schluss möchte ich sagen, dass wir alle haben die Verantwortung für die Umweltverschmutzung tragen. Schritt für Schritt soll jeder von uns etwas dagegen tun. Keine Müllberge mehr!

Last Sunday, I went hiking with my former cram school teacher, who is now my friend. I asked him if he wanted to go hiking in a nearby mountain with me and he said “sure”, so we did. Days before the Sunday are a little cold, but the Sunday was brightly sunny and warm with a pleasant breeze. That’s why I asked him to go outside together. We gathered at a park near the mountain. The park is 1 hour walk away from my house, and the top of the mountain is 1 hour walk away from the park if you chose the easy path, and 1 hour and a half walk away if you choose the difficult one. When I climb the mountain alone, I usually walk from my home. But since he is taller and thus heavier than me, he chose not to do that and we each went to the park by bicycle. We sometimes climb the mountain together, and when we do this, we talk a lot about culture, science, philosophy, etc. Of course, we talk about news in our lives, too. He quit his job this year and he is going to move this July, and he is studying for the upcoming TOEIC exam. He said TOEIC exams are different from other exams, because they have a lot of questions and examinees struggle not to run out of time. That’s why people have to prepare specifically for TOEIC exams, so that they don’t run out of time. Also, the questions are all business-themed, and he said it is a good thing because he can quickly learn useful English expressions used in actual business situations. After the long climb and talk, we reached the top of the mountain. As expected, the view was outstanding and I was glad that I was there. I took several pictures of the scenery and we rested a little, drinking fruit juice (me) and sports drink (him). Then we went back to our homes. I rarely go outside recently, so all my muscles were tired when we were on the mountain top, and I had sore muscles for the next two days. Even so, we have to do some exercise sometimes and I really wanted go outside for a change, so it was a really good excursion for me.

I love to go to a music festival. Because of COVID-19, I couldn't have been to the festival. But, a lot of countries have plans to hold it. In Japan, we are still in a pandemic, so we cannot make the plan. I'm going to study in the US, so I may be able to go to the festival. On top of that, I watched a story which is a music live at Miami on Instagram. I was surprised that people didn't wear a mask. it is far from the Japanese situation. And they looked so fun, so I want to go to a music festival more and more.

As far as I know, this park is free and it will take one to three hours to visit. I believe it offers a tour guide, but I assume that you have to pay for them. I browsed the website that you sent me and saw many prehistoric animals. Although I don't know much about them, I think they are amazing. Thank you for sharing the great museum website link with me and I am very grateful for all you have done for me.

The crematory in "Kamenka" park in Novosibirsk held a grave digging tournament called "The Grave Mayhem". The footage was published by the spectators.
As stated in the rules, the competitors must have dug a grave of sizes 200 centimeters in length, 80 in width and 160 centimeters in-depth as fast as they could.

According to the event managers, "The Grave Mayhem" should rise the funeral work execution's level and draw the attention of the youth to the funeral service worker profession.

I'm going to graduate this month and I will finally get my bachelor degree. My specialization is close to the Computer Science but not exactly. It is more general and includes studying computer networks, hardware and programming as well. If I translated the name of specialization from Russian it would be "Information Systems". To be fair, the specialization courses were outdated and the materials we're given were not that interesting. I liked more spending time with my classmates rather than studying. Due to the quarantine the real life education went online which was even more boring and also lacked the feeling of presence and communication with my classmates. Now it is the last week of grading and I should get my degree soon. I haven't decided if I really will work with computers after getting the degree. I'd like to find a job as a programmer but I feel that my skills aren't good enough to be a professional.

These days, the technology of artificial voice has been improved greatly. Artificial voice in English is more natural than in Japanese, but Japanese voice is also progressed in these ten years, maybe thanks to AI.
In university, on-demand classes are common because of the pandemic. Some professors use artificial voices to read aloud class materials. The voice is not bad to listen to, but I think I could understand well in the professor's real voices rather than artificial voices. I don't know why it is. I guess artificial voices are too inorganic to stay focused. Speaking of which, a teacher in my high school spoke slowly and monotonously, which made all students drowsy. His voice could have been artificial.
