Korossol On The Road 4
They were playing in the street. She didn't remember how or why but she and her brother – Jason – went from garden to garden, battling and chasing and generally having fun. They were causing a lot of ruckus but no one said anything so they stayed in their own little world, being horses and knights, thugs and thieves and kings of the castle. Then suddendly, everything stopped and Jason screamed. A hand just caught his arm, pointy nails scratching the soft skin. "Stop!" she screamed before even knowing what was happening. Then she saw. An old woman in a bathroom robe had come from the yellow house they were playing in front of and took Jason hostage. "Let him go!" she screamed again but the woman just screamed back. "Little hellions! Yelling and battling in MY garden, in front of MY door! I’m going to call your parents, just you see!"
As she was speaking, she was taking Jason in direction of the house. He was crying now.
Coldly she said : "Let him go." The sound resonated in the air like bells, echoes strangely coming back to her. The woman’s hand opened by its own volition : Jason heaped on the grass, crying like a baby. "Go away." she said to the woman who watched her like a monster. "Go right away from us." And the woman went. She went to the house, passed the front door, but she didn't close it. Years later, in her dreams, she was sure she heard the back door open when the old woman obey her orders and went away, way away from them.
("Where did she go?" ask a voice in the dreams. "Did she ever stop running?")

The syllabic nasal「撥音」
The syllabic nasal is a sound of ”ん”, such as tenki (weather), enpitsu (pencil) and tonbo (dragonfly).
撥音とは「てんき」「えんぴつ」「とんぼ」などの「ん」で表されている音のことです。
It is one of the special mora, and it sounds like to pronounce with a nasal twang.
特殊音節のひとつで、鼻にかかるような音です。
The syllabic nasal has not vowels same as the double consonants but it has one mora sound.
撥音も促音と同じく母音はありませんが一拍の長さを持っています。
Actually, Japanese "ん" is not "n" sound of English.
日本語の「ん」は「 n 」でありません。
The pronunciation of "ん" itself changes depending on the character consonants that follows "ん".
「ん」の後ろに続く発音によって、「ん」自体の発音が変化します。
If it is followed by "t", "d", "n (except ni)" or "r", then it is pronounced like an "n".
「ん」の後ろに「t（た行）」、「d（だ行）」、「n（な行 の「に」以外）」、「ɾ（ら行）」が続く場合、「ん」は「m」の発音になります。
If it is followed by "m", "p" or "b", it is pronounced like "m".
「ん」の後ろに「m（ま行）」、「p（ぱ行）」、「b（ば行）」が続く場合、「ん」は「m」の発音になります。
If followed by "k" or "g", then like "ng" from "sing".
「ん」の後ろに「k（か行）」、「g（が行）」が続く場合、「ん」は シング（歌）の「ng」の発音になります。
However, almost Japanese people are using that some pronunciation without thinking, I think.
しかし大半の日本人は、無意識のうちに、いくつもの発音を使い分けていると思います。
Actually, I never thought about it.
実際、私は意識したことがありません。

Arrêtez la commercialisation des Fêtes!
Comme toutes les années, on tout fait des achats de Noël et de l'Année Nouvelle. Tout le monde est familié avec ce concept et on le fait sans vraiment savoir pourquoi. Personne ne se demande si essayer de montrer notre amour par acheter des cadeaux est vraiment la meilleure option. Selon moi, il y a beaucoup de meilleures options, et dans cette texte j'espère de vous clarifier mon avis.
Pour commencer, je crois qu'on met trop d'importance sur l'aspect économique des Fêtes, alors les Fêtes perdent leur valeurs initiales: être ensemble avec toute la famille, diner et cuisiner ensemble, raconter des histoires. Les Fêtes sont là pour avoir du temps de qualité avec ceux qu'on aime. Il ne faut pas dépenser d'argent pour montrer quelqu'un q'on l'aime.
Deuxièmement, la plupart des Fêtes sont d'origine religieuse. Les religions sont une partie de nos vies et de nos cultures. Naturellement les enfants sont plus attirés à l'idée d'un nouveau jouet qu' à l'idée qu'on fait partie d'une vielle tradition. Cependant c'est important de leur apprendre sur notre culture et traditiones. Ceci leur donne des valuers à suivre dans la vie.
Finalement, il y a plein de gens qui ont de la difficulté pour joindre les deux bouts. Au moment le plus heureux du an, ils sont préoccupés par l'extra coût des cadeaux. C'est pas fair pour eux non plus de devoir acheter des cadeaux qu'ils ne peuvent pas payer. On ne peut pas oublier que presque 1 sur 7 personnes en France vie sous le seuil de pauverté ( "Pauverté en France" Wikipedia).
Bref, la commercialisation des Fêtes est negatif car ça fait nous oublier les trucs les plus important des Fêtes: la famille et la tradition. Le temps de qualité vaut mieux que cents cadeaux. Donc il faut qu'on arrête d'acheter et (re)commencer avec être ensemble plus.

After Spring Vacation
Just after this spring vacation, my university department was going to have an exam held face-to-face. However, the situation of COVID-19 in my prefecture is getting worse, so the test will be prolonged. I'm happy a white elephant disappeared but unhappy the next semester's classes will be online.

A coworker who is likeminded gave up a job.
There is only one way to communicate with him on the Linkedin site.
After reading his profile, I recognized that I haven't written my profile in English.

One Point About HelloTalk
One thought about HelloTalk.
Overall, I think this app is very useful, especially because it has strong interactivity. People post articles, thoughts, views, recordings, and pictures, then you can leave comments on it, including texts and audio. You can also read, listen, and write on those posts, which are really useful to improve one's English skills. I am very happy to correct foreigners' Chinese essays on HelloTalk, but every time some Chinese people always correct it, and there is more than one person. I often write some English journals on HelloTalk, but it seems there are rarely people to correct them. The corrected journals count approximately 30 to 40 percent. I don't know why, but I really want my journals to all be corrected by native English speakers as soon as possible after I post them.

Bad Memory
Every time I talk to a language partner, I feel a lack of vocab. When I explained what's going on about Japan's vaccination, First of all, I referred some European countries had stopped using vaccines of AstraZeneca temporary due to a blood clot. I really wanted to explain about a blood clot in English. The partner taught me to use a blood clot. I really wanted to proper word like this kind of vocab. I think this blood clot this vocab is common in daily life, not often used, not a technical term, though. I should have learned by heart this kind of the vocab for conversation.
I know both inject as a verb and injection as a noun, so I guess a tool of injection should be an injector. But I was not sure of it at that time. The partner helped me to use a syringe. I guess a syringe is common word much more than an injector. Speaking of which, I don't care so much which is common in conversation. Even though I use the injector, English native speakers could understand what I mean to say. And actually, I can't always examine what words are common in every conversation as well. There must be ambiguous to determine very often used words after all. But I decide to use the syringe in conversation.
I've already given up to be able to speak like a native speaker, but I want to speak very natural English conversation, instead. The first step to realize it, I should speak nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs commonly used in natives' daily conversation as much as possible. Basically, my vocab isn't up to scratch. How can I catch up with native speakers? Frankly speaking, to memorize tons of new words is a pain to me. I suppose there's no way to memorize them very easily. Is there any easiest method to memorize new words?

La mia migliore vacanza
La mia migliore vancanza è stata l'anno scorso, a Febbraio. Io, mia madre e mia sorella eravamo andati a Mérida, un vilaggio ad ovest di Spagna. È un vilaggio ben conosciuto per la sua storia romana. I romani l'avevano chiamata "Emerita Augusta".
La prima sera c'era una visita guidata per il teatro e l'anfiteatro. Anzitutto, l'anfiteatro.
Mamma mia, non mi potevo imaginare che fosse così grande!. Eravamo entrati all'anfiteatro faccendo una passeggiata per le gradinate, con un grupo di circa 40 persone, e poi entriamo nel centro di tutto, sulla sabbia, era proprio enorme. Dopo la spiegazione, mentre stavamo andando dal teatro, avevo guardato il cielo e lì c'era Orion (il cacciatore), in quel momento ricordo sentire una felicità speciale.
Il teatro: Del teatro mi ricordo quanto bene potevo sentire la guida. Lei era sul palco ed Io nel posto più alto e lontano delle gradinate, meravigliato per la qualità del audio.
La mattina seguente eravamo andati dal circo. Ed anche quello era grande, molto molto grande. Ricordo sentire qualcosa di speciale camminando là perché, è stato in quel circo che Cayo Apuleyo Diocles, aveva cominciato la sua carriera professionale. Poi eravamo andati al museo, ma non ho abbastanza tempo per parlare di tutto quello che c'era lì.

Apprendre de la langue français
Je voudrais parler de ma école. Je vais dans une petite école qui est seulement quelques kilomètre de ma maison. On a autres matières, par example mathématique, physique, biologie, histoire ou français. Je n'aime pas les français, parce que je ne peux pas faire cette langue. Je pens que c'est la langue belle mais je ne comprendre pas les règles gramatiques. Les exceptions dans la langue m'énerve et je ne peux pas les souvenir. Je veux parler, lire et écrire aussi bon que je parle, lis er écris en tchèque mais je ne peux pas. Toutefois, j'éspere que je vais l'apprendre si je vais écrire les textes courtes, faire les exercises dans mon livre français et apprendre les vocabulares avec Anki. Souhaite moi bonne chance.

L'homme qui souhaitait la guerre nucléaire
On voudrait penser qu'aujourd'hui on soit loin d'une guerre nucléaire et de la destruction mutuelle assurée, que les temps pleins de peur de la Guerre Froide sont définitivement passés. Toutefois, le monde est encore prêt à s'embraser: il est peut-être seulement par chance que les vents qui soufflent dans le vallée du Cachemire n'apportent pas les retombées radioactives. Chez les Iraniens, face à la duplicité occidentale quelques sûrement voient dans les ogives leur unique garantie d'indépendance; étant donné les milliers des missiles toujours en attendant le jour où ils s'avèreraient utiles, chaque année il est probable que l'hiver suivant soit l'hiver nucléaire.
Tout compte fait, il serait compréhensible si personne ne voulait pas que ce scénario arriverait. Cependant, il y'en avait un: le dirigeant du bureau argentin de la quatrième internationale, un trotskiste qui s'appelait Juan Posadas. Au fur et à mesure que ses interprétations du communisme mûraient et devenaient plus radicaux et bizarres, il s'était éloigné du courant dominant du mouvement, et en 1962, avec ses adeptes il a établi sa propre quatrième internationale. Selon lui, il y avait qu'une voie qui mènera à la révolution mondiale: à travers d'anéantion nucléaire, le capitalisme tomberait et une nouvelle société renaîtrait des cendres. Il préconisait que l'URSS devrait donner le première frappe pour inculquer cette nouvelle donne mondiale.
Bien sûr, heureusement rien de ça ne s'est passé, et il n'est pas devenu la mort, le destructeur des mondes. Aujourd'hui, il n'y a pas beaucoup de monde qui prennent ses idées au sérieux et quiconque voudrait rebâtir l'ordre mondial, tout mettre à l'incendie d'avant de refaire l'être humain ne fait pas partie de ses plans. Néanmoins, il y a quelque chose d'allurant dans le feu qui épurerait tout... peut-être on va détruir le monde pas pour le refaire mieux, mais seulement parce qu'il regarder brûler on plairait. On verra.

How can I get more colloquality
During my four years in University, I actively participated in academic research activities. I have been engaged in phonetics and vocabulary research with my tutor twice, from which I have gained rich knowledge and further improved my scientific research ability. In addition, the mysterious linguistics inspired me to explore deeply and hope to have the opportunity to engage in scientific research.
When I was in University, I actively participated in the speech contest and various competitions held by the University. These experiences not only improved my oral expression ability, but also greatly enhanced my self-confidence, which made me more optimistic, cheerful and positive.

Maintaining the Car
This morning, I went to the Volkswagen 4 s store to maintain my car. This Passat was bought in 2009 and it was also the first car in my life. I haven't driven it for several years (during that time, my son drove it). For some reason, I have driven it again since a couple months ago and I feel it was in bad condition compared to what it was before. After the overall check, the repairman told me that a lot of problems have taken place in the car. If I solved them all, it would cost about 6 thousand yuan. I only fixed a few necessary things that cost more than one thousand yuan in total. I also let a salesman evaluate the current price of the car, disappointingly it didn't cost much. I don't want to sell it to someone else because it is the first car I ever bought. I decided to drive it until it broke.

This is my graduate oral interview. I need your help! :x
Thanks for your question. Good afternoon, professors. I am so glad to be here. for this interview. My name is SSN. I come from Quanzhou，a coastal city of Fujian Province. I major in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages.
In the pass four years，I gained a lot. On the one hand，I have been given the education on Linguistics, teaching methods and cross-cultural communication, which cultivated me to view the world in an you know international perspective. On the other hand， because of my excellent performance，I have won the scholarship. I also passed the CET 6.
Actually，I like to explore new things very much. I participated in the research of popular person deixis on the Internet, which further stimulated my passion for language exploration.
In addition, I also conducted a study on the tone of Sudanese students. Our project is based on the collection and analysis of the voice materials of foreign students, which is helpful to explore and solve their problems about the tone
To be honest, I am a highly-motivated person. I took part in speech contests and host some parties or competitions held by our college. I figure these experiences improved my speaking ability and made me more confident.
That’s all. Thank you for your attention! I wish all of you have a nice day.
Thanks for your reading! I DO need your help. I want to express my introduction more colloquially and fluently. It is important for me.

Visitando a mi hermana
He tenido un día muy largo pero muy feliz. Tomé el primer vuelo del día para visitar a mi hermana, a quien no le he visto desde enero. Desayunamos juntas, pero como tenía clases me prestó su bicicleta para explorar la ciudad. Visité el museo de arte, donde había una exhibición de Picasso, y luego exploré el museo de historia. Me gustó mucho poder ir por todos lados por bicicleta porque cuando estaba en la universidad solía usar mi bicicleta en vez de ir en coche pero ahora vivo en una ciudad tan extendida que no se puede usar una bicicleta en el día a día. Por la tarde, cenamos juntos y charlamos durante mucho tiempo. La he echado mucho de menos.
