134th day 2019 (The wasps)

Hi, today I would like to share a little problem with you. Lately, some wasps sta<font style="background-color: yellow;">r</font>ted (1) <strike>visiting</strike> coming into my room through the window. It happened before<font style="background-color: yellow;">,</font> but the wasps never built their (2) <strike>houses</strike> nest in my flat. If I (3) <strike>permit</strike> let them <strike>making</strike> make their <strike>houses</strike> nests, <strike>after some time</strike> there will be (4)  <strike>much</strike> many more wasps after some time. I bought a special gas to kill them and (5) <strike>avoid</strike> prevent the appearance of new ones.

(1) Visiting implies a friendly act and conscious decision. The wasps are just coming in

(2) Wasps, hornets, and birds live in nests. Bees live in hives.

(3) Permit sounds too formal and is usually used in business, legal, or government context. "Let" sounds more natural

(4) "Many" is used if it can be counted as separate things  (1 wasp, 2 wasps, etc.). "Much" is used if it cannot be counted (too much rain, so much noise)

(5)

Avoid=the wasps are in a specific place and you avoid that place (The wasps are in a tree and you avoid that tree. You stay away from it.)

Prevent=stop something from happening (more wasps appearing)

I think B or C are the best fit, but it should be 'remark' or 'point' since it is a single statement. a) some notes --a written reminder for you or someone else b) some remarks --a statement that is not too formal or prepared, usually additional information to an established topic c) some observations -statements on what you passively see d) some points --A statement meant to clarify a topic or persuade someone to an opinion

How Time <font style="background-color: yellow;">Flies By</font> 2/18/2019

Many children <strike>have a</strike> wish <strike>when</strike> that <strike>is</strike> they grow up quickly.
But when I <strike>really</strike> [1] grew up, I found that time really passed quickly. Sometimes I recalled how quickly this year passed. I didn't do a lot of things, and I didn't go to many places. Look [2] how good and carefree children are.

好多小孩子小的时候都有一个愿望就是，快快长大。
但当真正长大的时候，才发现时间真的过得好快，有的时候回想起来怎么这么快这一年又过去，好多事都没做，好多地方都没有去过。而小孩子多好，无忧无虑的。

[1] Using "really" twice so close in the same sentence sounds unnatural. It should be used to emphasize how quickly the time passed rather than the absolute action of growing up.

[2] This is was not a complete sentence. If you add "look", you make it a suggestion to draw attention to how good children have it.

I can relate. Life goes by too quickly after childhood :(

Good entry!

Thank you!

Letter (thank you in advance for translating!)

"In today's world, economics is a globalised discipline that requires an opening to the world, which is why <strike>I think this</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">a</font> year abroad as an exchange student is going to help me broaden my knowledge (...)"

By an opening to the world, I tried to say that today economics isn't anymore about closed borders and self-sufficient countries and we're in an era of free trade and liberal policies.
Also, does discipline work or should I say field instead?

Thank you! :)

In my opinion, the opening sounds better without the "I think this". It makes the sentence sound more like a fact rather than your subjective expectation. It strengthens the point you are trying to make.

The word "field" should be used, as it refers to a subject in an academic or profession context. 

Your opening to the world makes sense here. Just make sure this "opening" is quickly and clearly understood as economics to the reader. 

Best of luck on your application! :)
