Je n’ai pas eu encore l’opportunité de rejoindre une association caritative/ bénévole, donc je n’ai pas d’expérience dans ce domaine, mais c’est une chose que j’adorerais faire bientôt. J'aimerais bien adhérer à une association caritative parce que ça serait une bonne opportunité pour moi de rencontrer des gens solidaires. À mon avis on ne devrait pas attendre d’ appartenir à une association pour commencer à aider les autres puisqu’on peut le faire sans être membre, on peut le faire par nous-mêmes, c’est comme ça que je le fais. Particulièrement (what do you mean?) j’ai laissé la vie sociale au vestiaire, donc je considère que si un jour je veux rencontrer des personnes de nouveau, je suis sûr que l’endroit où je pourrai rencontrer des bénévoles sera dans une association bénévole ou dans un projet de bénévolat. Ce que demandent les associations de bénévolat aux gens qui veulent s’y impliquer c’est de ne pas en profiter, de respecter les consignes, que les associations donnent elles-mêmes, de ne pas partager ses idées politiques ou religieuses, etc. Je trouve que le fait d’en rejoindre une demande beaucoup de temps car on doit être disponible lorsqu’il y a la moindre activité, mais je ne pense pas que ça soit un inconvénient parce qu’il y a aussi celles qui offrent des participations régulières, donc pas I don’t understand the sentence. Le but d’une association bénévole est de secourir ceux qui ont des difficultés dans la vie, et je trouve que le fait de les aider nous fait sentir bien avec nous-mêmes parce qu’on sait qu’on est en train de contribuer aux vies de ces gens-là afin qu’ils puissent sortir de ces situations malheureuses. Quand j'étais à l'école, je me souviens qu’il y a eu seulement une opportunité pour faire du bénévolat. Je m’en rappelle, ça a eu lieu en 2018, mais malheureusement je n'y avaispas contribué.À cette époque je n’étais pas très intéréssé par le sujet, mais avec le temps, je me suis rendu compte de son importance, peut-être à cause de l'âge.

Aujourd’hui, je suis triste et déçue. Je veux apprendre le français, parce que mon mari parle français. Il est du Congo et sa famille parle seulement français. Ma fois est petite (what do you mean?), et je ne peux pas pratiquer longtemps chaque jour. Mais, je dois essayer.

I think that a lot of people, including me are suffering from the sunk cost fallacy. After mastering advanced Korean grammar, I started watching YouTube in Korean which was my goal, but soon enough I realized that Korean YouTubers are not helpful for me and sometimes make my mental health worse. However, I couldn't stop myself from learning Korean because it took a lot of time and money to achieve this level. This is the sunk cost fallacy.

Social media is one of the best inventions of the 21st century, being the most remarkable tool of communication ever made in human history. With social media, it has never been easier for us to talk to our friends whenever we want to. But there are negative aspects to every positive development. People have notably grown impatient these days because of our social media usage, that has conditioned us to expect instantaneous responses. This has a serious effect on our relationships because patience is crucial to preserving harmonious relationships. I've seen relationships fall apart because people have different attitudes toward social media. Some people pick up their phones as soon as they hear a notification, while others prefer to take their time before responding.

One of the best lines I've heard on television was from a Doctor Who episode where the 11th Doctor (played by Matt Smith) said, "We all change. When you think about it, we're all different people all throughout our lives, and that's okay, that's good; you've got to keep moving as long as you remember all the people that you used to be." I was in college when I first heard this line, and at that time, it didn't resonate with me much. But this recently changed. This line brought me to tears when I was reminded of how I learned to accept every version of myself over the past years. My parents compelled me to work in the family business after college, which meantI had to return to my hometown, a small, rural island in the Philippines. It was a tough decision to leave the city because I knew it meant giving up on my freedom and dreams. As a fresh graduate, I was thrilled to live my life by my means, meet people, learn, and grow. However, I grew up constantly wanting to please my parents, so I ended up following what they wanted. In my hometown, I became depressed and anxious trying to fit into a place I'd already outgrown. Since my friends lived in the city, I also didn't have a support system back then. I was constantly ruminating and thinking that I'd never be able to achieve what I'd achieved in my younger years. Everybody else was moving forward with their lives. Meanwhile, I was there stuck in a rut. I felt that I wasn't growing. I felt helpless, and my environment was no help. When I couldn't take it anymore, I began telling my close friends what I'd gone through, which helped me find hope again. I also began to seek professional help for my mental health. Since then, it has been a rollercoaster healing journey for me. It took me a long time to realize that life does get better and that growth requires time, effort, and repetition. Even though my battle with my inner demons feels never-ending at times, I know that only by facing them head-on will I be able to grow.

Today I finished the task that my headmaster assigned to me yesterday. It was a video draft. It was extremely difficult for me but I still managed to finish it after almost 4 hours of work. Today when we discussed about the different drafts (that were turned in), it turned out that my draft was pretty good. I was glad that I didn’t quit halfway.

That’s a challenging question. In my opinion, the answer would be Japan. First of all, the longest diplomatic relationship between two countries was between my country and Japan. The first sign of serious relationship between them can be traced back to about 1770 years ago. Japan used to send diplomatic corps to visit China in the history, in order to learn from China in many ways. One interesting thing you might find out is that there are plenty of Chinese words in Japanese. It has changed a lot now and both are influenced by the Western cultures, but I always think it’s most similar in the common culture (need a bit more context for that last sentence, I don’t understand what you mean).

The second day, I woke up at 5:30 in the morning and watched the sunrise on the beach of Toyohira in minus 15 degrees C temperature. The splashing of the waves turned to ice immediately due to the cold, and it was a magical place. My bangs, eyelashes, and eyebrows also froze. Then, I went to Kushiro and took a picture of a steam locomotive. The contrast between the white snow and the black train was very beautiful. For lunch, I had an (if I understood correctly what you meant) oyster steak donburi set meal in Atsugishi. It was very delicious and included raw oysters and fried oysters. After that, we moved to Nemuro City and my husband went up the snowy mountain to take pictures of the train, so I waited for him in the car for two hours. Strong winds were blowing and I didn't feel like going with him. I got up early in the morning. It was a sleepy day.
