    Yo he estado muy ocupado recientemente con todas las tareas de mi trabajo. Pero, me gustan mis clases este año. Es solo dos meses cuando viajaré al centro de Australia con mis estudiantes. Es una parte del paise que no he viajado anteriormente. Entiendo que pronto es tu cumpleaños. Espero que tengas una celebración muy especial llena de muchas recuerdos. Muchas bendiciones!

    La Casa de Papel Recientemente yo he empezado a ver la serie en Netflix, "La Casa De Papel". Es un programa muy entretenido sobre un equipo de atrajadores que llevan a cabo un plano elaborado para robar La Fábrica Naciónal de Moneda en España. Actualmente he visto todo de la serie primera y el primer media de la serie segunda, ¡y es solo cinco días de atrajo! El programa es una mezclada de acción, suspenso y drama. Veo con los subtitilos en ingles y intento ver sin los subtitulos para practicar mi destrezas de escuchar en español, pero es muy dificil para mi porque el dialogo es muy rapido. Pero todavía practicaré y he disfrutado el programa.

    The direction of the future economy

    My friend said that 2020 will be the best year on Earth in the last century ** except for Homo sapiens.(lol) That is because <s>the</s> nature <s>around the</s> worldwide has healed since most <s>of</s> human beings are isolated <s>from</s> at home. We had to endure of our desire like traveling, shopping and buying cool objects etc.. In this plague-ridden world, what good is judging <s>which one is right ideology</s> between capitalism and communism? Freedom is <s>the</s> what is most important though there is a necessity for managing people if there is a plague in the world. When we work, <s>do</s> competition should take place freely. When we need to stop <s>economy</s> economic activities, then we should receive <s>get</s> some free food and <s>necessaries</s> necessities from the nation. I have more empathy with this flexible ideology (Not sure if I could deliver my meaning in English lol, anyway)

    I agree <s>with</s> that the direction of the future economy starts to reduce human <s>being’s</s> desire to live in <s>the</s> an unpolluted world with <s>clean nature which has</s> <s>less</s> a reduced spread of plague. Instead of <s>limitless</s> unlimited competition, symbiotic cooperation <s>for symbiosis</s> in which there can be harmony between humans, society and nature is the ideal.

    Just a record

    Hi. My name is Zhenya, I am from Russia. I live and work in Voronezh. I am a lecturer in one of the universities <s>of</s> in the city. Often in my professional activity I have to deal with English, because <s>it’s main</s> it is the main language in the science community. But I don’t say what it’s in high level. Therefore, I am here and I like it here.

    Writing as a practice (“Writing Down the Bones” book)

    Perhaps a year ago I came across "The Artist's Way" (a book by Julia Cameron) and I've discovered 'the morning pages practice. Later I've read about practicing that ritual in "Tools of Titans" (by Tim Ferris).

    Recently I've read about the same approach to form a writing habit in “Writing Down the Bones” by Natalie Goldberg.

    So I've started to begin my day with that ritual for 15 minutes. I use an hourglass for this.

    Some quotes from the book:
    “My rule is to finish a notebook a month.
    My ideal is to write every day.


    You may time yourself for the <s>minutes</s> duration… You must commit yourself to it and for that full period:
    - Keep your hand moving (don’t pause)
    - Don’t cross out,
    - Don’t worry about spelling, punctuation, grammar.
    - Lose control.
    - Don’t think. Don’t get logical.
    - Go for the jugular (dive right <s>into</s> in scary or naked)

    The metaphor for that practice is - like a dancer who does warm-ups before dancing.

    Some people can’t just walk on a treadmill for 15 minutes. They are trying to make themselves busy.

    I think that the most natural way of practicing writing is to see it as a play. Like juggling. There <s style="background-color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">ase</s> (I'm not sure what you are trying to say here) no productivity like the number of balls per minute and so on. But there are certain rules like no drops of a ball.

    You can’t just come to the gym and lift a barbell which is twice <s>of our wight heavy</s> as heavy as your own weight. You should have some history of visiting the gym regularly and learn<s>ing</s> the ropes of technique.

    “I believed in the proccess”

    “I see as I progress through the notebooks that this kind of writing <s>gave</s> gives you a sense of who you are. It’s a verification of being human”

    influence on smartphone

    Almost everyone has a smartphone in this contemporary world and <s>which</s> this is playing an imperative role in peoples' lives. However, such in the technology development fast day, (This red part doesn't make sense. What are you trying to say?) a smartphone can keep people connected with the world at their fingertips. People have entertainment with the smartphone and get <s>some</s> information from it, particularly people who read the news on their smartphone everyday, but does she/he already have <s>a</s> digital literacy?

    Smartphones are altering the world in a remarkable manner by becoming an essential commodity, especially for young people. One can have increased connectivity, immediate access to data and information with this hand-held device, but <s>also</s> one can also be deceived. Research<s>er</s> has indicated that CGI-animated coverage has a <s>more huge</s> bigger influence on young people than on adults, as sound effects reduce the credibility of news reports using melodramatic animation.

    Many adults don't have <s>a</s> digital literacy, such as fake news, let alone teenagers. With the increasing importance of the number of visits to <s>the</s> media sources, people have received <s>the</s> media literacy education to a large extent to gain the ability to distinguish between authenticity and the authenticity of the views of the producers of media messages in mass media. To educate a child <s>a</s> in digital literacy is very important.

    Una carta corta a mi amigo Hola, Espero que tu y su familia hayan estado bien, a pesar el amanaza del coronavirus. La vida en Australia ha sido muy diferente recientemente con las restricciones en nuetras movimientos. El gobierno ha declarado que no podemos salir nuestros hogares para visitar a nuestras familias o pasar el tiempo con más de una otra persona. Me imagino que la situación en tu paise es muy similar actualmente. Que genial de oír que disfrutas tu tiempo en la escuela. ¿Cómo fue La Pascua? Espero que tu y su familia estén bien, y que Dios sea tu guía. Bendiciones, Mark.

    Bélgica vs. Japón - La Copa del Mundo Cuando ví la primera mitad del juego entre japón y bélgica, yo piensé que no fue emocianante. Pero, la segunda media del juego fue increible. No habria esperado que japón liderar con un gol contra Bélgica mucho menos ganar dos goles a cero. En este punto, yo piensé que japón ganaría. Pero Bélgica entonces ganó dos goles. Y cuando pensamos que necesitan los pateos el penal después el tiempo completo, bélgica ganó otra gol durante las segundas antes del silbido de tiempo completo. Que emocianante! Compadecí por japón, porqué los jugadores actuaron muy excelente, pero Bélgica fue el ganador. Bélgica tiene un equipo fuerte que ha sido excepcional en este concurso.

    What I've learned...

    What I've learned...

    I'm quite old, 29, so I guess in most countries the life expectaction expectancy is around 70-80. According to this, I could say I've lived more than 1/3 of my life.

    I don't have the money I want, but I have enough knowledge to obtain it in 10 years from now, so I'm not concerned about it. I mentioned the money because if you want to have a good quality of life you will need a lot of money (I guess all of us want to have a good healthcare, to live in a beautiful and secure house, buy delicious food and many things to cover the rest of the pyramid of humans needs from Abraham Maslow.

    I've lived enought to know that the most important thing in your life is your brain, yeah at the end the physical is what matters more. So, how can you own a good brain? Well that's easy, you just need to make excellent decisions.
    Decisions like the food you put in your mouth and every habit related to stuff we eat or drink because from all that stuff our brain and body obtains the resources to work out. If you put in bad stuff not only is our body is not going to obtain those resources but you also can hurt it.

    Then come decisions about the most crucial resource we have: time. As our life is finite, you should spend your time wisely.
    How can you do that?. Well it's easy too, by investing in your personal development, try to use your time to become the best version of yourself.

    I'm sure everyone of us wants to be happy, well happiness for me is to be fine, having an excellent job, great friends and family, doing the things I enjoy and being proud of myself. And if I want to be proud of myself, I need to be my best version.

    La Copa Mundial 2018 Yo no tengo mucho interes en deportes en general, pero disfruto ver los juegos del Copa Munidal. Soy de Australia, y desafortunadamente Australia no hizo la ronda de dieciseis. No obstante, yo he disfrutado los otros juegos. Sin embargo, la zona de tiempo en Australia no es conveniente si queremos a ver los juegos en vivo. Por ejemplo, el recien juego entre Mexico y Brazil fue medionoche hora de sidney, y el juego entre la belgica y japon fue tres de la manana. Asi es mejor para nosotros a ver las repeticiones cuando levantamos de la cama!
