My daily life 12 I said in the previous essay, April 1st is the Japanese New Year. Today, the Japanese government announced the era name of the next Japanese period as Reiwa (令和). The first Reiwa year will begin from May 1st this year. This is the biggest news in Japan today. Speaking back to my life, the temperature has dropped suddenly and it is very cold. The spring of the past few days is simply an illusion. I don't like such cold weather. It’s a little bit late today, I can only end this essay in such a hurry. Thanks for your kind attention.

My daily life 11 A recent scientific paper attracted me. This paper is mainly about using microrobots to allow two different species (bee and fish) to communicate with each other so that they can interfere with their behaviors. It is a fantasy to let two unconnected animals in nature communicate, but science has this peculiar ability to make things that were impossible. Maybe you will ask how they communicate. Briefly speaking, the researchers put a microbot which can receive signals from the bee or fish and translate them into signals that the fish or bee could understand in each group. At the same time, the microrobot will also send a corresponding signal to the fish and bee. In the dialogue between these two species, there have been many wonderful phenomena. I have to say that this is a perfect combination of science and nature.

My daily life 10 Recently, I have studied Japanese seriously and gained a lot. I used to learn a little German, but now almost forget it. The process of learning a language is very boring, especially if you want to study systematically and hardly. I have two left feet with any language learning, even if I have been studying English for many years, I haven‘t reached a high standard. Constant practice and learning is the right thing for me. I used to think that learning a language is only a matter of time. After a long period of study, everyone will learn very well. But this is not the case. Individual differences, including learning methods, learning abilities, etc., are the key to determining your success. There will be rewarding to gain from paying, but the difference is whether the harvest will come early or late. Sometimes I have to admit that quantitative changes can cause qualitative changes.

My daily life 9 I think writing an essay here is like writing a public diary. I will write some of my daily thoughts and things in my life, not just for writing. And this process has improved my English, why not? I spend about 20-40 minutes a day writing, including the time for thinking ideas and expressions. As a non-native English speaker, I want to make my essay more readable, so that it can be fun when others help me to modify it. But this is not easy. I don't know if you have heard a sentence called “Thousands of Beautiful appearances are all similar, but a hilarious mind is one in a million. (好看的皮囊千篇一律，有趣的灵魂万里挑一)" Sometimes the hilarious mind is the reason why friends or lovers can get along with each other. But being hilarious doesn't mean being funny or ridiculous. On the contrary, I find it to build on a wealth knowledge and experience. I occasionally feel that I am a boring person, especially when I don't know what to write, but I also tell myself that I should accept imperfect self.

My daily life 8 On the way to the University this morning, I found that the sakura has come out. Wow, the spring is finally here. This period is graduation time in Japan. Many graduates will start their first job in April. Japan's April is more like a Japanese New Year in a sense. This year Japan will have a new Japanese emperor to succeed. The Japanese people will also welcome a 10-day Golden Week holiday around May. At one time, China also had a Golden Week holiday in May. However, Golden Week in China is canceled and distributed the holidays to other festivals, such as Mid-Autumn Day. Anyway, a 10-day holiday really doesn't know what to do.

My daily life 7 I was busy recently and only wrote one essays this week. Here comes the second one. Yesterday, I watched online that my hometown was snowing. My hometown is in the northeast of China. It's very cold in winter there, but you can see beautiful snow. I went home during the Spring Festival in February this year. There has been no snow there, it was very unusual. There is a saying in China called “瑞雪兆丰年”. It means "A timely snow promises a good harvest" in English. The snow in winter covers the land as a quilt to keep the soil warm. When the spring comes, the snow melts and slowly penetrates into the soil to accumulate water for the wheat. Therefore, a few heavy snowfalls in winter are the forecast of a bumper harvest in the coming year. However, in the south area, the snow in winter is not a good thing. That's because the snow is good for wheat what is grown less in the south of China. Is your hometown snowing this year?

My daily life 6 Long time no see. In fact, I'm confused about this expression. In Chinese, it means “I haven't seen you for a long time（好久不见）”. When I was in high school, my classmates and I would use this way to express. But this expression is very Chinese, so we thought it was wrong and just say it when we are joking. However, we found out that there is such usage for the native speaker. I am not sure if this expression is correct now. Nowadays, the internet is developed rapidly. Sometimes common sayings are popularized on the internet and become buzzwords. In various social media in China, not only Chinese will become a buzzword, but also the language of some other countries, mainly in English and Japanese. Most of the Chinese have learned English, so English buzzwords can be accepted by the public. The Japanese is because it also contains a lot of Chinese characters. Although the pronunciation is different, sometimes the meaning of the word is similar and easy to understand. Is there a buzzword about Chinese in your country?

My daily life 5 Here comes my story for today. Last year I attended an English class at university. The English teacher is a Canadian who has lived in Japan for many years. In one of the classes, we talked about the issue of compulsory education. I think most countries in the world would provide compulsory education for children. China offers nine years of compulsory education for children now, which means that every Chinese can complete at least a junior high school course. Japan also has a nine-year compulsory education. And Canada provides 12 years of compulsory education until high school graduation. Students in China have many choices after completing compulsory education, but now more and more people will choose to continue their studies especially in the city. There is such a saying in China that knowledge changes fate. Does your country provide compulsory education and how many years?

My daily life4 Hello, my daily life is coming. Every time I completed the essay, I usually received the revision the next day. I guess this is the reason for the time difference. Since I have several friends who are studying abroad, I remember the time difference between us in order to facilitate contact with them, but apart from that, I don't know much about the time difference between me and other countries. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west，although it is a very common thing in our lives, whether you will infer the weather based on the scene of the sun. There is a saying in China, “Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in the morning, sailor's take warning.（朝霞不出门，晚霞行千里）.” Although this is an old saying, it is scientifically based. The red sky in the morning often indicates the arrival of rain and the red sky at night shows that the rain has passed. This is the wisdom that our ancestors summed up. Is there a similar saying in your country?
