Green Shades and Old Memories
Walking through the nearby woods on weekend mornings always refreshes me after a week of fatigue. Around this time of year, the landscape deepens its greenery, showing a beautiful variety of green shades. Whenever I see such scenery, I’m reminded of how difficult it is to capture these moments in writing, and I’m always impressed when I encounter authors who can. For example, Nine Coaches Waiting by Mary Stewart and A Time of Gifts by Patrick Leigh Fermor. I happened to discover these modern classics and enjoyed reading. The former is a mystery set in Switzerland, and the latter is a travel narrative through Central Europe. Not only the stories but also the beautifully illustrated nature and landscapes impressed me deeply. As I used to travel a lot in that region, these books also bring back memories of my days living in Europe.

The Great Wall
In 1703, Robinson Crusoe arrived in Pekin.
The word "Pekin" originated from the French word "Pékin".
He came to China to trade opium and also bought a lot of silk and tea.
One of the illustrations shows the Great Wall.
The drawing of the Great Wall was not very accurate because at that time the British knew very little about China.
After the Opium War, the West learned more and more about China.
The Great wall was made for a fortification against the Tartars.
During the second World War, China used sections for defense against Japanese invasion, and rumor has it that some parts are still being used for military training.
However, the Great Wall serves primarily a cultural purpose.
Originally built to keep Tartars out of China, the Great Wall now welcomes millions of visitors each year.
In fact, the influx of tourists has caused the the Wall to deteriorate.
It is also often claimed to be the only man-made structure visible from space.
Unfortunately, that is not at all true; various structures on Earth, such as bridges, highways, and airports are clearly visible.

Reflexiones sobre el videojuego "Bubsy 4D" (Parte 2/2).
Bubsy 4D más se parece Bubsy 3D, ya que ambos son plataformas 3d (nota: plataforma es un genero de videojuego). El argumento en si tiene lugar después Bubsy 3D, con los Woolies (nota: los enemigos extraterrestre de la serie Bubsy) invadiendo de nuevo, pero en vez de robar lana, roban ovejas. Bubsy es perezoso así que no hace nada sobre eso. Un rato después, no es los Woolies quienes regresan, es las ovejas, habiendo evolucionado en seres inteligentes quienes roban lana por su propsitos mismos. Los Woolies, por otro lado, ha sido esclavizados por las ovejas. A esta altura, la familia y los amigos de Bubsy lo hace hacer algo sobre eso. El argumento está tratando de ser cómico, pero es fructiféro solo ocasionalmente.
La jugabilidad consiste en ir por los niveles, coleccionando bolas de lana en el camino. Bubsy es fácil de controlar, una primera para la serie. De hecho, tiene un rango de opciones de movimiento tan ancho que trivializa el diseño de nivel un poco, pero todavía es divertido. Aparte de eso, el juego es corto. Terminé en menos de 3 horas, pero está bien porque me gusta los videojuegos cortos.
En total, me gustó este juego. Puede venir como una sorpresa, ¡pero la serie Bubsy se ha redimido! ja, ja.

Une frontière chaotique
Un des lieux les plus étranges du monde est la ville de Baarle qui se compose de la ville belge de Baarle-Hertog et la ville néerlandaise de Baarle-Nassau. Le trace de la frontière entre les Pays-Bas et la Belgique en cette région est très complique, alors Baarle-Hertog se compose de vingt-deux enclaves disjointes de la Belgique dans les Pays-Bas. Ce qui aggrave la situation est que il y a aussi huit enclaves de second degré, c’est-a-dire qu’elles sont des enclaves des Pays-Bas dans les enclaves de la Belgique dans les Pays-Bas. Pour cette raison on doit traverser la frontière douze fois pendent faire les cours danse cette ville. C’était une situation intéressante avant l’accord de Schengen.

Biblioteca.
Los libros me alegran el día con su textura, que es suave pero áspera; su olor, que me embelesa al ojear las páginas; sus índices, que funcionan como una introducción; y su organización, que facilita encontrar los temas que uno quiere investigar. De hecho, hace unas semanas me compré «Punto y coma, etcétera: la puntuación, el gran enemigo común (o no tanto)», que me ha ayudado a ver el lenguaje de otra manera, lo que, a su vez, ha reavivado mi amor por el idioma. Además, ese libro, avalado por la Real Academia Española y la Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española, me motivó a comprar el «Libro de estilo de la lengua española según la norma panhispánica», otra obra útil y fascinante que ayuda a resolver dudas lingüísticas. Como puedes imaginar, una cosa llevó a la otra: al ver la pasión de las academias por el idioma, también he pedido la «Nueva gramática básica de la lengua española».

what does studying English for Japanese mean？
Does studying languages have always the same meaning regardless of which era they live in or where someone lives? The purpose or meaning of studying English, as a global language is especially different from other languages. In this text, I want to talk about the difference between studying English for Japanese and studying Japanese for you, foreign people. English is exactly a foundation of international society, and nothing will start without it. I realized this all the more when my management professor said “You are treated as non-existent if you cannot say any opinion in English. In Japan, English is used in many situations such as exams, job hunting, career up and it’s impossible to ignore it to make your life better. One reason I study English is that I love languages, and I’m particularly interested in English grammar. However, for most Japanese, it is just a tool and doesn’t have more or less value. Keep in mind that if Japanese can’t speak English, everything doesn’t go bad. On the other hand, what does studying Japanese for foreign people means? It depends on whether you live in the place where everyone speak Japanese, or not. If everyone speak Japanese, you must study it, unlike studying English for Japanese.
If not so, you study it because not compulsion, but interest. Depending on what kind of people study what kind of languages, it goes without saying that there are various ways of teaching and motivating.

The older I get,
the more I prefer a nice cold shower. When I was in my 20s, I loved to bath, but as soon as I turned 30, I preferred to shower. The reasons are simple, taking a shower is much quicker and it feels a lot more energising than taking a bath. Every time I take a bath, I feel completely drained and tired. As well, taking a shower saves water and is much quicker. Furthermore, in my opinion the average bathtubs are way to small for big people like me, my height is 180 cm. In addition, bathing with another person is a lot more complicated. An average person like me does not have the money nor the resources to afford a extra large bath tub. But I cannot deny, that still I would never say 'No' to a jacuzzi in a five star hotel. I had the chance to have this experience many years ago.

About the World Cup
Since today is weekend,I slept in.Then I checked the result of the Round of 16 results on my phone.
What?Argentina drew 2–2 with Cape Verde? I have to check this.Maybe it's unpolite to Argentine，but I'd rather see Cape Verde win.Upsets make the game more exciting.Isn't it？However,if it comes to Italy,I don't wanna see any upsets.Because I'm a big fan of them.But wait....Where is Team Italy？Well,they failed to qualify for the wolrd cup for the third time in a row.How wonderful...
If I can wake up early in the morning on Sunday，I wanna watch France VS Paraguay.Will there be another upset?
Recently, I've really been through a lot, which made me lose the mood to watch the World Cup. But it's such a big competition held only once every four years, I decided to watch at least one or two games. After all, four years is really a long time. In the next four years, I may not see the players I used to know anymore, and I don't even know where I will be or whether I will still be alive.

Memories of Lang-8
Hello, I’m Mika, and I used to be a member of Lang-8.
Now I’m 44 years old. I have a husband and a 10-year-old son, and I work for a local government office.
I was in the English course when I was a high school student, but I wasn’t a very good student. At that time, I wasn’t interested in studying English because I didn’t have any opportunities to use it in real life.
After graduating, I joined Lang-8 when I was 28 years old. I started by writing simple diary entries, and soon I received corrections and encouraging comments from native speakers.
It was a life-changing experience for me.
After that, I began studying English much harder than I had in high school. Lang-8 brought me many good friends, and even now, we still keep in touch.
Lang-8 brought many exciting and valuable experiences into my life. I truly loved the service, so I was very sad when it ended in 2024.
Today, I joined LangCorrect, and I’d like to start studying English again.
I hope this new journey will bring more wonderful experiences into my life.
Thank you!

Tipps, um sich an einem neuen Platz zu Hause zu fühlen.
Bitte korrigieren Sie in meinem Text grammatische und lexikalische Fehler und prüfen, ob die Sprache natürlich ist. Sagen Sie auch bitte, ob den Text B2 entspricht und was kann ich verbessern.
Wenn man an einen neuen Ort umzieht, braucht es gewöhnlich viel Zeit, um dort sich zu Hause zu fühlen. Aber mit der Hilfe von den Tipps, darüber ich gelesen habe, kann man das schneller machen. Jetzt werde ich diese Tipps durchgehen, bewerten und ergänzen.
Der erste Tipp besagt, dass man die Kontakte von Freunden nutzen soll. Sie können eine Person empfehlen, die in diesem Ort wohnt und die du treffen kannst. Das kann erst komisch vorkommen. Du kannst denken, warum du dich mit dieser Person treffen solltest, wenn du sie nicht kennst? Aber ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass, obwohl das Überwindung kosten kann, das oft zu guten Bekanntschaften führt. Für mich funktioniert das sicher gut.
Der nächste Tipp empfiehlt, ein Café in dem neuen Ort zu wählen und immer dorthin zu gehen. So kannst du Kellner und Kellnerinnen und Stammgäste kennenlernen, langsam ein Gefühl bekommen, angekommen zu sein, und ein Teil der Stadt zu werden. Dieser Tipp würde für mich nicht in Frage kommen. Ich habe festgestellt, dass diese Methode sehr langsam und ineffizient ist. Um so neue Kontakte zu knüpfen, brauchst du fast jeden Tag ins Café zu gehen und viel Zeit verschwenden. Und die Stammgäste kümmern sich normalerweise nicht um die Menschen um sie herum; die Einzigen, die du vielleicht so kennenlernst, sind die Kellnerinnen und Kellner.
Der dritte Tipp besteht darin, dass du deine Nachbarn kennenlernen sollst. Wenn du sie siehst, versuche ein Gespräch zu beginnen. Wenn du sie ein bisschen kennst, kannst du dich viel mehr zu Hause fühlen. Das kann ich mir gut vorstellen. Aber ich habe leider keine solche Erfahrung gemacht und plane, mich mit meinen Nachbarn bekannt zu machen, wenn ich am einen neuen Ort umziehe.
Jetzt möchte ich den vierten Tipp erläutern. Du sollst Apps für Neuankömmlinge mutzen. So kannst du schnell Gleichgesinnte mit der ähnlichen Erfahrung treffen. Diese Kontakte können nicht für immer halten, aber das kann das Heimweh lindern und an einem neuen Ort einen Freundeskreis aufbauen. Bei mir war das so: ich habe keine spezifische App genutzt, sondern einen gewöhnlichen Messenger. Aber nach dem Sucht in unserem Fakultätschat habe ich die Menschen gefunden, mit denen ich noch kommuniziere und spazieren gehe.
Der letzte Tipp lautet „sich für den neuen Wohnort entscheiden". Natürlich ist es schwer, den richtigen Ort zu finden, weil es sehr viele Möglichkeiten gibt, aber wenn du eine Recherche machst und auf dein Herz hörst, wird alles hoffentlich in Ordnung.
Allerdings lässt sich sagen, dass es immer Zeit braucht, um sich an einem neuen Ort zu Hause zu fühlen. Aber jede Aktivität kann dir dabei helfen. Die Hauptsache ist, nicht dem Heimweh nachzugehen und versuchen, sich einzuleben.

他人の体に触っちゃうといけないこと？
昨日の朝、通勤電車に乗った時は急にブレキーされ、何人かが倒れてしまった。私はしっかり手すりをつかんでいたため、無事だった。倒れた人たちは真ん中の列の方々だった。真ん中というのは、ちょっとサンドイッチみたいな感じで、電車の両側に手すりが掴める当たりじゃなく、真ん中の手すりが触れないところだ。ラッシュアワーに電車に乗った人には伝われるかと思う（苦笑～）
ところで、後ろに向いていると、倒れた人たちはどんどん立ってきて、一人の大柄の方だけはなかなか立てられなかった。また電車が揺れたら、倒れたままの人は踏まれたらあぶないだと思いながら、ついてにその方の脇に軽く支えて「大丈夫ですか」と声をかけていた。すぐに「ありがとうございます」と言われたが、その後、気になったことがあって考え始めた。例え同性でも勝手に人の体に触っちゃうのはいけないかな。大変失礼かな。
また、チャッピーにその時に使う言葉遣いを調べたら、「立てますか」「立てそうですか」「立てられますか」は全部使えそうだ。え？！でも絶対ニュアンスがあるよね。相手に傷つかないのはどっち？よくわかならい。迷ちゃう。
もしもっと緊急な時があって、路上でお年寄りや体調不良で倒れた人を見かけたらどうすればいいの。見捨てるのはどうしてもできないし、やはり119番通報のほうが適切だなと思った。

Frohen Vierte Juli!
Hier in den USA gibt es den Vierte Juli. Es ist einen amerikanischen Feiertag und heißt auch Unabhängigkeitstag, aber normalerweise sage ich einfach den Vierte Juli. Diese eins ist etwas besonderes, weil es der 250 ist. Ich habe heute keine große Pläne, vielleicht nur Zeit mit Familie.

Classic Adventure's Books
From the childhood I have loved classic literature about adventures, pirates and other romantic things in the tropics in the 18-20th centuries.
I like the stories of Arthur Conan Doyle and "Treasure Island" of Robert Louis Stevenson.
But I got the most pleasure from the series "Cabbages and Kings" that was written by O.Henry.
I read it while I was in the middle of Russia. It was winter, the mornings were dark, there was a lot of snow everywhere.
The book easily carried me to a hot coast of some Caribbean island. I could share the character's feelings about annoying hot air and salty sea.
Oh, how awesome looks the plot about the gorgeuos woman with olive skin and courage personality for which you could do the crazy things like stole all the money from the country treasure.
I think the fact that he lived in Honduras for a few years adds some depth and truth to this series.
I find O.Henry one of the best authors, his other stories are very gentle and interesting too.
I think this kinds of books or authors suits both teens and adults (for example, recently I read Tom Sawyer at first time).
This books was one of the reason that I moved to Bali, lol.

The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe
When Robinson returned to the city of York in England, his parents were dead, and also his two brothers.
At the age of sixty-one, Robinson leads a stable life, but often hopes to go to sea again.
After his wife's death, he set sail again for an adventure, returning to the isolated island where he once lived.
He traveled to Brazil, Madagascar, the Persian Gulf, Malacca, Macau, and Canton.
Robinson arrived in Nanking and met several Catholic missionaries there.
Following the missionaries' advice, he decided to visit Beijing.
This country has a huge population, but it's very poor.
These Chinese are poor and are obsessed about "saving face".
Robinson and others crossed the Great Wall and the desert and reached the Russian territory.
Arriving in the capital of Siberia, Tobolsk, Robinson noticed that winter was approaching and decided to stay there for the winter.
When he finally returned to London, he was seventy-two.
This book is less popular than the previous one.
Very few Chinese people have read this book.
It is said that the novel was not published in China.
The reason is the author's description of China in the book.

I am on vacation!!
Last thursday, I took my final exam so now I'm on vacation. It's incredible with this feeling of being in the summer and watching the football games with friends. However, I want to talk about my exam today.
First things first, I have to explain you what it is before telling you how it went.
It's an oral exam. It boils down to an analysis of a text and a presentation of a book you choosed before taking the exam. First, the teacher give you one of the 18 texts you have to analyse. Then, you have 30 minutes of preparation when you try to write down the most possible analysis of the text. After those 30 minutes, you present the text to the teacher (in the format introduction/ analysis/ conclusion) during 10 minutes. Then you answer a grammar question and finally you switch to the second part of the exam. You are presenting a book of the program you liked and you have to give 3 reasons why you choosed this book instead of another one. Finally, for 5 minutes, the teacher asks you some question about your book.
Honestly, I think it went really well. First, I was stressed right before I started to talk but once I started, it feels like all the stress disappeared. I was very comfortable cause I was really well prepared (I trained myself with my parents in the exam format) and I turned this stressful moment into a joyful moment. The teacher approved several times what I said and she looked sincerly happy with my prestation. Another reason why I'm confident is that I'm almost 100% sure I saw her writing 12 out of 12 for the first part so it ensured me. For the second part it was a bit more difficult cause she asked very intricate questions but I was lucky cause I made some researches so I had the answers. There was just once when I started well and then I wanted to say too much so it was kinda messy.
Overall, the exam went flawlessly so I hope getting the best grade 20 out of 20. It would reward from the best possible way all my work so I would be exrremely happy. I get my results on next Wednesday.
I hope you enjoyed my text. Please tell me what you thought of my English!
