Hello :) My name is Tara, I am a native English speaker, fluent in French, and extremely motivated to learn Polish and Spanish. I find languages fascinating. To me, language is like a tonal formula, or a musical equation. The fluidity of being able to transition from one language to the next allows me to transition from one personality/point of view/perspective/voice, on different levels and in different mindsets. Sometimes a topic is easier to understand in one language, or describing a feeling feels more natural in another. Now that I'm fluent in French, I can't describe it in any other way than feeling like I'm talking in flower petals (synesthesia?)...it feels good to speak! Speaking Polish feels like birds chirping...but I have never truly tried Spanish, so I can't equate the feeling to anything concrete yet...I want to learn because I love dancing salsa and and I really like Spanish culture and food, both Latin American and European. Can't wait to learn more, Tara

    Describe a celebration or moment which has made a deep impression on you.

    Describe a celebration or moment which has made a deep impression on you. Please explain the impression and include specific examples and details in your explanation.

    The moment when I was in I defended my graduate dissertation defense for my master degree leaves me a deep left a deep impression on me.
    Before the defense, I prepared my dissertation very carefully. There were three experiments in my research, and I had to analyze a lot of data and dug dig out (this is in the same tense as "analyze", so therefore "dig") some useful results from the data. In my dissertation, I demonstrated the results of those experiments and made a conclusion for each experiment.
    I was the last one to do the presentation, and there were a lot of people in the audiences. Normally, professors didn’t fail a student in a defense. But I was still nervous when waiting for my turn. I watched my lab mates doing their presentations one by one, and each got a lot of revise suggestions each one getting many revisions suggestions.  and Each one was frustrated after the defense. I really didn’t want my research to be criticized like that.
    Finally, it was my turn. I illustrated my research by PPTin a powerpoint that I had created, and showed the findings of my research. Then it went to the hash part. Then Came the harsh criticism: The biggest flaw of my research was that I didn’t make the inner logic clearly between those experiments, which made me realized that how important the logic wasis.

    Do the two following sentences present the same meaning?

    (a).Volcanic activity is responsible for the formation of the Pacific seafloor in the interior of the Pacific plate.


    (b)Volcanic activity in the interior of the Pacific plate. is responsible for the formation of the Pacific seafloor.


    These mean the same thing. Good job!

    The end justifies the means

    Beniatjar, Valencia. Sunday afternoon.

    Lolling around on the Calvary, the sun glaring right in my eyes, I feel rejuvenated. Our body has been designed to overcome difficulties. The brain can providentially forget those trifling fears that sometimes are able to keep us sleepless, staring up at our bedroom ceiling all night long.

    Sucre is lying on a stone bench by me, quiet and peaceful, wagging his tail occasionally as a sign of happiness. Aware of the companionable silence? Who knows. No other human being around to talk to, I feel that I can free my mind.

    There is no single niggling nagging worry at the back of my head. I can now do my own thing. Sometimes a bit of self-awareness and selfishness is not harmful. The end justifies the means.

    Digital Communication

    Hello Greg. How are you? Fine? Ok, i'am too - (I hope you are well. things are going well for me!). Thx  Thank you. :) Communication through text messages is the future. People do not have time to speak in a voice to each other. The younger generation communicates  via social media. I communicate with my parents by phone only because they can not work in messengersI speak with my parents on  the phone only because they are not very adept at using texting applications. For them, this is "difficult." (They say that it is too difficult) I think that it's really hard for many people to communicate in real life. For them, social networking is the solution. I have no special views on this topic. There is nothing more to say. (Ending with "there is nothing more to say" sounds abrupt. Maybe "that is the extent of the situation").

    Banning Amazon

    Recently, I heard that Yamato Transport Co., the biggest delivery service company in Japan, are planning to change their service "less" convenient. The problem is that their delivery staffs are exhausted by overwork due to increase of online shopping transactions.

    I feel pity for the workers. Besides, I feel guilty as the culprit of the consequence, who loves arbitrary online shoppings. For the sake of the company's working environment and my finance, I need to reduce my orders at Amazon from now on.
