Today
Today is a happy and memorable day.
In the morning, I had my own professional courses, including The Theory of Applied Linguistics and Basic Japanese. The course,The Theory of Applied Linguistics was so boring that, I couldn't pay attention to the teacher. Fortunately the Basic Japanese was much more interesting than Applied Linguistics, although my Japanese teacher always give lessons quickly.
After the lunch break, I began to give lessons to the kids in kindergarten. (I'm confused on what your saying here. I don't think you mean your in Kindergarten, So I assume you mean your teaching them) I was rather satisfied with my lessons today because the kids were active and listened to me carefully. I had achieved my teaching goals for the day.In the evening, I had another part time job, which was to help primary school students with their homework. Maybe today is a good day. Those kids were also easy to teach, and (Don't start sentences with and) they finished their homework quickly.
Doing part time jobs every day is hard, but I think I can learn a lot from them such as they can improve my life experiences and meaning.
Lastly, as the saying goes, yesterday is history, today is a gift, tomorrow is a mystery, that's why it's called the present.I hope that I can live happily and meaningfully.Remember to capitalize your I's and put spaces after commas

When I first watched this movie, I was in a middle school. After I watched it all, I just thought Paris caused the war and led all the people around him to death. I hated Paris because he charmed Helene (Actually, I am not sure of this part-who first charmed who.), he provoked the Greek leaders, even though he didn't have courage and ability to fight them. I thought that if Paris had sent Helene back to Menelaos and listened to his older brother Hector's advice, the war wouldn't have broken out between Greece and Troy. However, I saw this movie again recently and realized many things weren't as I thought they were.0 votedMarch 25, 20161Unconscious mind
Recently I have been reading about the unconscious mind, and how much it has to deal with shaping our daily habits. I found many books that talk about the subject, but what draws my attention is a book called Subliminal. The book is fascinating, it breaks down how our unconscious mind effect our daily habits, and how those habits result in shaping the way we live. I started gathering statistics about myself, recording things I unconsciously do everyday such as walking the same road when I go to work, or waiting for the bus at the same location. It's an interesting subject to study, and to know how we can use our unconscious mind and try to work with it, not just use our the perception portion of our brains. I would like to do more research, and record more statistics for different people to see if I can better understand the unconscious part of the brain.0 votedMarch 10, 20160The Stranger. Part 53. "In the boat". Please, correct my mistakes
As I said before, I didn't remember what was happening before the battle began. I opened my eyes and found myself sitting in a boat. Lisa was near.
"How did we get here?" I asked.
"We climbed the boat where we defeated monsters. You were furiously fighting them. I was even scared you were mad because you screamed like crazy!"
I looked down and saw my fists and arms. My fists were covered in what looked like red paint. It was blood. My arms had scars.
"Wonderful! So, we had fun!" I replied. I noticed that Lisa was damaged too. Her face was maimed. Her fists were also bloody. Stop joking! It's not funny! More goblins could attack us."
"I understand. So, where do we sail to now?"
"I daresay that Island might be more silent than this one" she pointed out in the distance. I could notice only one little (or small?(Little sounds, better. However small's perfectly fine as well) island in the horizon.
"Do you know what place that is?"No! The time has come to check it" Lisa said...

In regards to the second one. Gentrification is where the price of properties in an area increase and lower-income residents are forced to move.

Nowadays, some people pursue only fame, wealth or power, and they abandon their dreams without hesitation. This seems like a very sad phenomenon, to me.(I made this sentence grammatically correct. However this doesn't sound very natural.)
I watched a lecture of Natalie Portman at Harvard. She said that fame, wealth, or power are like plastic toys. So, if the whole meaning of life is just "plastic toys", what is the point of life? Just like a little prince (Who is this little prince?) said, adults only considered things of consequence...
So, if our dreams should fail, if we have lost them, we need to "rediscovee" them. Becoming a dreamer will make us passionate and optimistic about life, because as long as we have our dreams, we are all always filled with hope!0 votedMarch 5, 20161Opinions on the sculpture plan
The writers of the letter oppose the sculpture plan for two reasons. Firstly, the university is in a poor financial state. Building the sculpture would be a waste of money. Secondly, the sculpture is so large that it will take up too much green space in front of the campus center. The other woman in the conversation thinks the two reasons are totally unconvincing. About the financial problem, she says it is the donor who pays the bill for the sculpture, not the university, so there is no need to worry about money. As for the issue about the space, she says Paul-- the writer of the letter-- and his friends often play soccer on the lawn where the sculpture will be. She thinks Paul just doesn’t want to move to another place. For him, it’s convenience versus sculpture.0 votedMarch 3, 20161Outlook
In the West, clerical domination of politics has been eliminated. It has now been replaced by domination by the wealthy.
The rise of Far-right in the West at the hands of the neo-Jacobins, will revolutionize politics due to a political stalemate.I was somewhat confused about some of the things you said.
