Journal

Last year, I read about the benefits of keeping a gratitude journal somewhere on the internet; keeping a gratitude journal can help you focus on the positive elements of your life, deal with stress well, and manage relationships better.

Ever since then, I tried to practice such journaling several times, but it was kind of hard to come up with the appropriate sentences every time. I was either not creative enough, or I must have forgotten to think positively for some reason. :) So somewhere along the way, I gave up keeping such journals.

But recently, I came across this writer on a vegitarian community who was posting gratitude journals online everyday. Her lines (or sentences?) were beautiful, as if she was writing verses of poems. I wished I was a talented writer as she was, but unfortunately I’m not such a good writer..:) I might be good at writing in a logical and coherent piece, but never in such a poet-like (?) way.

Nevertheless, her journals definitely inspired me to resume my effort to keep the gratitude journals. So I shall write from time to time here about the things I’m grateful for, from today on.

I will start from now, right below here.

<Today’s Gratitude Journal>

1. I’m grateful for the beautiful sunflower plant on my window shield that is growing taller day by day and giving me a pleasure of looking at it.:)

2. I’m grateful for the rosemary plant that gives off fragrant smell in the morning.

3. I’m grateful for the weather that warmed up and has been enabling me to sun on the grass.:)

4. I’m grateful that I can have a cooked fish and fresh veggie juices for lunch.

5. I’m grateful for having a family who are always supportive of whatever I decide to do.

もっと上手に書けるようになりたくてLangCorrectを使ってみようと思って今この投稿を書いている。昔、結構Lang8を使っていたが、何年前から新しいアカウントを登録することできなくなったから投稿しても添削してくれる人があんまりいない。Lang8の代わりに何かないか探してみたらLangCorrectをみつけた。

何年後、日本語で小説を書きたいと思うが語彙力や表現力などを身に着けないといい小説を書くことが難しい。そのために、「文章のベストセラー100冊」のポイントを1冊にまとめてみた。という本を買ってみた。その本に書かれていることをすべて自分のものにすると、うまく書けるようになれるはずだ。表現力か、語彙力か、どっちが先なんだろう?ま、その疑問をとりあえずおいときましょう。

うまく書けるようになるため、最初日常的なことについて書こうかなと。毎日、どんなことをしたのかどんなことがあったのかについて書けば人生の整理になるし、一日を要約して説明をすると文章が今よりよくなるんだろう。

まずお試しでLangCorrectを使ってみようと。本当にいいサイトであればプレミアム会員になろうかなー

どうぞよろしく

Mammutbaum

Der Sequoia-Nationalpark in der USA ist einer der Orte in meiner Liste der Orte, die ich vor ich sterben besuchen muss. Riesenmammutbäume sind unglaublich, sie sind enorm und auch einer der ältesten lebenden Organismen der Erde. Einige sind 3500 Jahre alt, das heißt sie sind schon seit Ramses II Zeiten da! Ein Riesenmammutbaum im Park namens "The President" ist 3200 Jahre alte und 75 m groß. Indianer hatten natürlich viel Respekt vor den Bäumen, und es wird agenommen, dass der Namen "Sequoia" auf Englisch wurde zu Ehren von Sequoyah, der das Cherokee-Schreibsystem erfunden hat, gewählt. Obwohl Mammutbäume alt sind, der älteste Baum der Erde ist nicht einer, sondern einer 5000 Jahrer Kiefern namens Pinus longaeva, dessen Standort ein Geheimnis bleibt.

I Can't Bear It Anymore (pt.1)

Xinjiang cotton has become a hot topic in China. Here's how it played out: H&M claimed to be boycotting Xinjiang cotton. Then people found there is a connection between H&M and Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), an international non-profit membership organization registered in Switzerland in 2009, which works with stakeholders from cotton fields to suppliers, manufacturers and brands to provide a globally accepted definition of good cotton and to propose social and environmental standards that are applicable worldwide.
And many brands have joined this organization. Nike, Uniqlo, GAP, Zara and other brands that have joined the organization have all issued "banned Xinjiang cotton" statements on their official websites.
And then there's what happened today, with a large group of people calling for a boycott of these products. A group of people, led by the Communist Youth League's Weibo account, accused "These companies are trying to make money in China while creating rumors to boycott Xinjiang cotton? What a fool's errand!" And of course there was some hilarious criticism: "These US offical websites blocks us from seeing their websites! It's disgusting!" Of course the opposite is true, apparently it's our wonderful Great Fire Wall that blocks their official websites.
Seriously, I'm sick of it.
As we all know, this is related to the recent sanctions imposed on Xinjiang by European and American countries recently. But what exactly is going on in Xinjiang, do we Chinese know? I don't think most of us know. Chinese websites have blocked all news about Xinjiang concentration camps. Sorry, that's not accurate enough, it should be called blocking all negative news. It's like Biden's New Year's message this year, and the part about Xinjiang was just censored in Chinese Version. In China, everything about Xinjiang is positive. You can see on the Chinese Internet that small, unknown countries are sending people to visit Xinjiang and think Xinjiang is a wonderful place. There are also news articles denouncing the attempts by "foreign forces" to undermine China's unification. Can Chinese news sites report on the Xinjiang concentration camps? No, they can't. Because the first rule of journalism is that Chinese media are party-oriented. So what is going on in Xinjiang? I don't know. All the information comes from foreign media. How ironic to have to understand what is happening in our own country through other country's media.

I am a tea lover

I really like to drink tea even though most of Korean like to drink coffee.

With drinking tea, I can release my stresses and feel free whenever and wherever.

There are six types of tea such as Black tea, Green tea, White tea, Yellow tea, Oorong tea and Pu'er tea and I like all of them.

When I learned very first time, my teacher recommaned me that comparing different types of tea in order to get insteresting

For example, White and Green tea are to drink in the morning and Black and Oorong tea are fine in the afternoon.

When it is raining, Pu're tea is good and if you want to drink rare one, Yellow tea is the best choise.

Do you know the tastes of Green tea are different depending on Country of origin?

I like three Green teas in one day that made by China, Japan and Korea.

If you have a chance, I recommand to drink a tea like my way

Arashiyama

Arashiyama is one of the sightseeing spots in Kyoto. It's famous for cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, bamboos, and temples. In addition, there are many shops at the foot of the mountains, so you can enjoy food or shopping. When I visited there, there are junior and high school students on a school trip, and people wearing kimono. If you ride the Sagano Romantic train, you can see the nature and beauty of the valley relaxingly.

세 단어를 외우기

예전에 한국어 배울 때 그냥 어떤 단어를 자주 보면 기억했어요. 그래서 자주 못 보는 단어는 몰랐어요. 한국 사람이랑 말 하면서 모르는 나오면 대화가 멈췄어요. 아주 부끄러워요.

7년 지나가서 다시 한국어를 공부하기 시작했어요. 요즘 매일 새 단어 5개 외워요. 오늘은 과일을 배워요. 예를 들면 자몽, 수박, 복숭아. 이렇게 아는 단어가 점점 더 많아질 거예요.

Calculator vs smartphone

Yesterday, I was talking to my friend about smartphone.

She said in her case the most frequent used features in her smartphone is the torch.

I agree too because I used that a lot too.

But she reminds me there is one feature in smartphone is not that many people use.

That is the calculator function.

In fact, I saw many people still use a “real” calculator at work.

I also using a calculator even my smartphone got the same function.

I wonder will you have the same behavior just like me?

Do tell me if also same as me and can you explain why we didn’t use that features in our smartphone?

100th Post on LangCorrect

Today, I'm really excited to have my 100th post on LangCorrect in only less than a year, and grateful for all those who have been involved in correcting my work. They have provided detailed correction for all of my ninety-nine writings I have posted so far. Even though I still have failed to add "a" or "the" and mistaken on simple grammars like tenses and plural forms, I feel that my vocabulary and writing skills have improved, and I use the dictionary less frequently than before. If you make sentences by yourself without hesitation and have native speakers correct your articles, you can realize your lack of knowledge and your bad habits.
As many users do, I have managed to pick up a wide variety of topics not to make readers feel bored. As a result, I could learn a variety of expression on several fields. I admire some users who have published more than 100 posts for their efforts since it is difficult to find attractive topics. Nonetheless, I'm going to join 30 Day Language Challenge which is supposed to start from April 1st. I was surprised to see the participant list because it seems that Japanese is most popular language in LangCorrect community. I will keep helping Japanese learners and learning English as well.

忘れていた科目

学校で毎年たくさん科目が勉強して、それから数ヶ月後に忘れた。私は一夜漬けが上手から、科目の思い出とやり方は短期だ。今は新しい経済学のクラスを始めた。微積分が必要らしいけど、最後の微積分のクラスは1年以上前にから、ほとんどの技を忘れた。もう一度たくさんことを勉強直しは面倒だけど、私の悪い勉強方が原因だから、あんまり文句を言わない方がいいと思う。

Mein Leben jetzt

Es war eine lange Zeit, seit ich hier etwas geschrieben habe. Weil ich ein bisschen traurig und müde über alles das wir hier in Brasilien erleben bin. Die Pandemie brachte uns so viele Toten und wir haben auch eine Regierung, die weiter um FakeNews zu teilen geht. Es ist nicht eine gute Stunde um Brasilianisch zu sein.
Ich habe Freunde und Bekannter verloren.
Ich hoffe, am Ende bleiben meine Familie und ich gesund!

Si podría mudarme adonde en el mundo, me mudaría a Vietnam. Porqué? Pues, he estado allí y me encantan la comida y el gente. Todo el gente es muy bien. La comida es muy inexpensivo. El tiempo es muy hermoso. Me gusta estando fuera y caminando en la playa.
Tambien, me hablaba la idioma así, pienso sería una transicion facíl.

Boudicca

Na antiga Grã-Bretanha, a rainha Boudicca foi atacado por um exército romano. Quando seu marido morreu, as forças romanas tentaram pegar o poder dos Icenos. A rainha viúva lutou para a independência. Massacrou milhares de moradores de cidades na ilha de Grã-Bretanha. Depois de uma batalha sangrenta, a Rainha Boudicca morreu na derrota militar.

Mas quase dois mil anos depois da sua vida, Bouddica foi interpretado como heroína. A Rainha Victoria foi descrito como um Boudicca moderna, símbolo de independência na Grã-Bretanha.

Estoy muy cansada ahora mismo porque me fui a dormir bastante tarde anoche y el programa de capacitación requirió mucha actividad física en el sol. Después del trabajo fui a un parque para intentar disfrutar del día, pero casi me quedé dormida en el suelo mientras leía mi libro. Cuando llegué a la casa, quería ir directamente a la cama pero había prometido a una amiga que le llamara y no quise romper la promesa.

Tipps für Deutschlernen.

Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache.

Ich empähle dass man zuerst Grammatik lernen. Deutsch hat vier Fälle und in diesen Fällen können Wörter ändern. Man lernt „der Herr" nicht „den Herrn". Wenn ich die Grammatik nicht wusste, wurde ich denken dass „Herrn" ein anderes Wort ist. Danach kann man einen Wortschatz bauen. Es ist ganz wichtig, die Wörter in Textzusammenhang lernen. Man kann nicht nur lernen dass „right" ist rechts auf Deutsch. Auf Englisch „right" kann rechts oder richtig bedeuten. Welche benutze ich in einer Situation? Eine gute Seit ist https://context.reverso.net/. Man kann Redemittel suchen.

Besser als Textzusammenhang ist verständliche Eingabe. Zuhören, ansehen, sprechen, und lesen sind ausgezeichnet zusammen. Kinderserien sind gut dafür aber wenn mann das nicht will... Twitch is auch ganz gut.

Die beste Tipps sind leben in der Sprache so gut wie man könnte. Muttersprachler haben ihr ganzen Leben in der Sprache gelebt, wir können sie nie einholen. Aber vielleicht ein bisschen.

Korossol On The Road 2

So my first corrections have just arrived and things are not so bad. I think. So I’m getting daring and trying harder to express myself freely. I will write what I want to say even if I cringe because I know it’s not correct… but have no idea how to make it good. I thank you all for your help, I will try harder to capitalize and pay more attention to my punctuation. Also, in my first post, I wanted to say « I LACK vocabulary and ease » because I do. And I don’t know which word could replace « ease ». Sorry.
I signed up mysel today for a challenge where I have to write 250 words in English every day. I regret it already. It’s late and I thought I was done for the day. I was optimistic. I hope it’s the right word. Now I’m hungry and I wish I could relax. Well, it will probably do me some good to push myself a little more. And it’s not so hard… as long as I have something to say.
Thank you again and good night !

Sentences 57: The Horse's Mouth, Growing Into, Chucking In

I did not hear it from the PR department but straight from the horse's mouth, way before the press.
"Let's step up the intensity of the training!"
I'm sure that she'll finish the training and grow into the new job.
She chucked in a few quick comments after he finished his presentation.

Rast

Idag tog jag en paus från promenaden. Jag gick bara 5 kilometer. Det är ganska tidligt nu, klockan är 9.40 pm men jag är så trött. Jag brukar inte vara så trött på denna klocka. Jag tror att jag ska gå och lägga mig precis efter jag har klart med svenska. Men innan jag sover ska jag läsa lite i svenska.
