I went hiking
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.

Music Festival
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.

Journal
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.

Graduation
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.

Artificial Voice
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.

Hacía mucho viento y el mar estaba un poco frío, pero pasamos una hora charlando en el agua y disfrutando de la naturaleza. Cuando volvimos a la orilla, descubrimos que hubieron ráfagas han grandes que ¡la toalla y casi todas nuestras cosas estaban cubiertas por una capa de arena! Después, compramos helados y volvimos a casa.

Ich will in Brasilien kein Auto fahren
(Das ist ein Teil eines Briefes).
Ja, ich kann mir sehr gut vorstellen, dass es eine große Erleichterung ist, wenn man nicht mehr auf öffentliche Verkehrsmittel angewiesen ist, besonders wenn man in kleinen Städten leben. Ich habe das selbst erlebt. Ich hatte mein eigenes Auto nur 10 Monate lang, aber es war sehr toll und das Gefühl, frei zu sein und jederzeit irgendwohin fahren zu können ist einfach großartig! Japan ist ein sehr sicheres Land und es war ein echtes Vergnügen, dort Autos zu fahren. In Brasilien habe ich aber nie den Führerschein gemacht und deshalb habe ich hier nie ein Auto gefahren, aber Lust dazu habe ich auch nicht. Ein Auto zu haben und ein aufrechtzuerhalten ist nicht nur teuer, sondern auch gefährlich. Du kannst ausgeraubt werden und sogar deswegen verletzt werden.

inflation, housing vacancy
Ultra-accommodative policy and lavish stimulus check, in addition, pandemic-driven-lifestyle-change-induced-frenzily-leaned-demand and thereby impulsive procurement to brace for, and production and construction slash etc. has been causing inflation on some commodities in from agriculture and metal mining to forestry and fishery industries, even you know, cryptocurrencies. How can the U.S. get over this multi-whammy? Go down to the abyss, allow every agony and slump, and finally silver lining between gray cloud will start to light again on her land by degrees.
Many people has been moving to other suburban areas from the city they lived. Although one of possible reasons is that people want to flee from almost defunct urban entertaining lives they might have enjoyed in pre-pandemic, instead, as a result of their exodus, many rooms of apartments are getting emptied intact, on the other hand, housing market got so heated up resulting in the lumber price on the leap and homebuilders have to wait until the price will plunge. People can still dwell in that emptied available space effectively, but people crave for the alternative in the suburb. That will not be environmentally friendly decision which you could applaud.
Sorry, I am very sleepy. See you soon.

Killing time
Әр жазда бізде демалыс бар, яғни мен үшін әр жылдың ең ұзын уақыт. Шынымды айтсам, мен ыстық ауа райы жек көремін. Кыста, көктемде әдетте күн сайын қуана қуана сыртқа шығып, сереуендеуге барамын. Бірақ жаздың ыстық, күн шуақ, желсіз күндерде мүлдем үйден шықпаймын. Сол себебті жазда бос уақытым тым көп. Мен жұмыс істеймін, одан басқа әртүрлі заттармен айналысамын, мысалы: кітап оқу, маған қызығатын тақырыптар қатысты ақпарат табу, хаңа нәрселер үйрену, тамақ пісіру, отбасыммен және достарыммен уақыт өткізу, жәнк интернетте бейне мен сериалдар көру.

Сүйікті киімім
Жиі мен сұр және ақ түсті киімдер киемін. Бұрын, осы тақырып туралы онша ойлаған жоқпын бірақ менің ойымша бұл түстер маған таза сезі береді, сол себебті менің ең жиі киетін киімдер ақ немесе сұр. Одан басқа, маған қара түс ұнайды өйткені қара киім әр жағдайда киесем, таза көренеді. Oны кию оңай. Мен өзіме ұнайтын түстер киген кезде ең ыңғайлы сезінемін.

Poem in English (advanced)
When the efforts are in vain and I'm breaking down in insurmountable pain.
When I can't turn around, I'm on this one-way trip and there's no way back.
When the storm arrives, the paddles aren't around and it catches me off guard.
When there's no hope, my strength is gone and I feel like there's nowhere else to go but I can not stop...
I will never stop and this is no ending...
I will finally get to the shore afloat without surrendering...
I will gather up some strength, ready for a new landing...
Leaving the storm behind and facing onto a beautiful shining sun 🌞
I will smile at it in a new land with a beautiful starry night to come✨

Writing: Respect Others and You Will be Respected
In today's fast-paced world, it has become more important for people to support each other. As an important element of human interaction, respecting others can be very rewarding and beneficial to both parties.
If you're not respectful then you will be disrespected because of your being mean. So you should always be respectful to others so they will treat you as the same way as you want to be treated. If I ever saw someone get knocked over and there stuff is on the ground scattered all over, I would definitely help him pick it up. Because other wise I would feel bad watching them pick it up all by themselves. Always treat others the way you would want to be treated. This way you will be respected and loved.
If you respect others, they will help you in due course. If you are respectful to others then you can get good jobs because they'll like you. The better the job is the better your life will be in the future. So respect can do lots of things that will help us with our future.
Respecting others means that they will respect you when you are in need and it also leads to a better future for yourself. In short, respect matters in people’s mutual relationship.

Los cicádidos
Allí abajo he escrito unas oraciones con una estructura gramatical que acabo de aprender. Sin embargo, no creo que la capte, así que me disculpo de antemano.
Los cicádidos viven en las áreas tropicales y semitropicales. Pasan la mayoría de sus vidas bajo el suelo, pero cada diecisiete años todos suben a la superficie para reproducirse antes de morir. Desafortunadamente este año se ha predicho una gran cantidad de ellos va a venir. Aunque no le dañen a nadie aún no me gustan.
Suelo seguir y escribir al menos un párrafo, pero estoy muerto y no puedo pararme de bostezar. He de hacer mucho y aunque el aprendizaje de idiomas me es una prioridad, no siempre es fácil llevar a cabo. Tal vez este post no tenga coherencia, pero es posible que sea para lo mejor. Después de todo, en encuentros cotidianos no hay muchas explicaciones complicadas, sino muchos comentarios de temas diferentes. Pues... quizá todo eso es ilusiones.
Dos oraciones con "verbos de percepción intellectual/metal como verbo de opinión".
1. No veo que tengan motivación de hacerlo.
2. No veo que tenga la voluntad para sobrellevar.
Una oración desafiante/retadora:
1. Está de pie en el balcón, leyendo el periódico.

Langcorrect
Hier kommt ein Metapost!
Ich bin nicht so sicher, wie ich an Langcorrect gekommen bin. Ich wollte meine Deutscherkenntnisse verbessern und ein bisschen beim Schreiben üben. Ich bin ein ständiger Reddit Nutzer, darum habe ich da gefragt, was die beste Plattform war, um ein Post korrigiert zu lassen und andere Leute wie ich, die sich eine Fremdsprache zu lernen wagen.
Ich wusste auch, dass es in Reddit eine große Gemeinde gibt, aber das Design finde ich nicht nutzerfreundlich. Was ich hier am liebsten mag, ist der einfach-zu-sehen Vergleich zwischen der Schreiber und der Leser. Es ist sehr leicht zu korrigieren und die Streaks sind einfach prima.
