- Organic foodWhat is Organic food? As I understand, it's food that is produced with no pesticides or chemicals. It is healthier and sometimes you can buy it only in authentic villages from farmers.My friend doesn't believe that organic food is different from other food in grocery stores. Maybe the advert would say it, but it's not necessarily true. Anyway, you should be careful with what<em>'s</em> <s>it's</s> written on the product that you cosume. It can be 80 or even 50% organic, that can mean :" used senticides <em>(pesticides?)</em> only to repel bugs", like its not serious.I do understand why people still buy it. Nowdays it seems to be <s>prominent</s> <em>popular</em> among young consumers. Those organic eaters hope that its connected with a longer <em>life</em> <s>expected age</s>, though it als<em>o</em> can be a result of medical advances.If I check my b<em>a</em><s>u</s>sket, I wouldn't be suprised to find something organic, but still it wouldn't be a substantial amount. I mean, I don't buy <s>a</s> bulk, just a few of my favorite products.Of course, organic food is expensive. That's because the standard is rather strict in developed countries . Whereas it's quite lenient in others, so you can't rely on it 100%.Anyway, who am <s>iI</s> to discuss it? More enlightened people probably can argue with my points, saying that organic food contribute<em>s</em> <s>with</s> to health and there's nothing more to talk about.0 votedAugust 11, 20200
- Pronunciation and grammarEnglish does not roll off the tongue for <em>the</em> Japanese. <s>Particularly</s>, Japanese who can distinguish L R sound <s>is</s> <em>are</em> few and far between. Some people say that foreign language learner should not get hung up on grammar and pronunciation and should just say what comes to mind. They have got a point. We should not take the time <em><s>and</s></em> <em>to</em> make sure our sentences are gramatically correct. But, I think that grammar and pronunciation is important and having basic knowledge of them is essential in forming sentences and expressing our thoughts clearly. When I listen to bad Japanese pronunciation and incoherent sentences, I involuntarily think that this speakers are uncultured. Of Course, I feel grateful that people from oversea get interested in my language and culture. Most people do not care whether you make grammatical mistakes in conversation. The important thing is to communicate.However, improper use of grammar can create a great deal of confusion, which can lead to miscommunication.0 votedAugust 7, 20201
- Small Changes, Big ImpactTime is so complex. Every action we do each second will lead to a different conclusion. If we forget to water a tree for several days, who knows how it will play out? Even if you had watered the tree, there are still other factors that might cause it to die. But then again, it might survive without water for several days. There are just so many things we do that we don't realize we're making big changes in the future.People nowadays are using the term climate change so often. We indeed are polluting the earth every day. But what can we do about it? There are many things actually. Just simply picking up a piece of litter can help. Think about it, that's more than 7 billion pieces of garbage! See the difference? When it's just one person, it seems impossible that it's going to make a difference. But look what happens when everyone makes just <s>does the same</s> one small change, it will make a difference.If we could all just make one small change, it will <s>become</s> make a big impact.0 votedMay 3, 20200
