Feegan and Dumpster Diving: Look through Food in the Dumps in Big Cities

The Freegan movement started as a branch of environmental movements in the US, which was the center of capitalism around the mid 1990's. 'Dumpster Diving' is a famous activity of Freegans. They look through dumpsters for food and necessities near superstores, find edible food materials or other useful stuff and use them. While watching a TV program about the Freegans, I started to think about my consumption habits. People consume too much and dump lots of things. As a result, the environment becomes desolate, and humans continue to crave the empty desire of consumerism. In a sense, we are slaves of the huge companies that seduce us to consume more and more in modern society. What do you think of 'Freegans' and 'Dumpter Diving'? How can we be free from useless and empty consumption?

My first one.

This is my first notebook (in French version we call that "Calepin", I did not even know this word before) that I've written. I'm currently not writing with any help or dictionaries, so it'll be 100% my level. Anyway, let's write a few interesting things.

I love languages, that's why I'm here. In fact, I love every language, culture and country (except North Korea!). I like to understand links between several languages, as French or Spanish, Hebrew and Arabic, Breton and Irish, Polish and Russian, etc. I also know historical facts that are important when you study linguistics. Did you know that Finland was a dependant state/region of Russia until 1917, after being lost by Scandinavia? That's the short version, of course; the story is longer than that.

I am only 16 years old (almost 17) but I'm planning to travel across the planet. One place that is never mentionned and not well-known is Greenland. It's a sovereign state of Denmark with 60,000 inhabitants, and 90% of the territory is full of ice mountains, which have no inhabitants. But it would be awesome to visit!

(for YouTube description) Jeju Island

Hello!

In this video I'm talking about the biggest and the most beautiful Island in South Korea: 

Jeju Island!

Jeju Island is very beautiful, which is why many foreginers want to go there. Jeju Island has many tourist attractions, like Mara Island, Sunrise Peak, Sulloc Tea Museum, ect.
Are you curious about Jeju Island?
Let check my video!

Ps: English subtitles not available yet.

A few sentences. Are there any mistakes?

Yesterday, France played against Iceland (or Ireland?). It was a good match because there were a lot of goals. I like the French team even though there are a few players that I'm not fond of.
Notably in defense there is a player that I have never found very good, but he has been playing on the French team for a very long time.

My daugther and her gift.

Yesterday I bought my daugther a scooter, and now she doesn't part with it. She rides it everywhere! Not only outdoors but also at home, in the bathroom, and to the dining room (could also be "during dinner"). She also plays with the cat on the scooter. (The cat doesn't like that. [could also be "The cat isn't happy with that."])
Now she is asleep and the scooter is on the floor beside her bed.

Every year several languages die out

Topic：Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Whether the extinction of some languages benefits or harms human society has become an issue that attracts significant concern from the general public. There are two main opinions regarding this topic. Some individuals hold a positive attitude, asserting that life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world, while others maintain a contrary standpoint. As far as I am concerned, the latter viewppoint is more convincing.
It`s undeniable that some languages dying out has certain benefits in terms of communication between people from different countries and people don`t have to spend time and money to learn other languages.
Despite the advantages mentioned above, it is worthwhile to note that there are disadvantages that should be considered. The first point that needs to be taken into consideration is that language is a indispensible part of culture and a symbol of a race. Some argue that once a language dies out, the culture and spirit of the country dies with it. Variety of culture is urgently needed in our society with the development of technology and the lack of humanistic feeling.
Beyond the point demonstrated above, there lies a more in-depth reason that supports my point of view: the extinction of a language can bury a race`s wisdom. It should be noted that the Mayan civilization, a race with amazing intelligence, experienced this. Long ago, the Mayan people had great achievements in astronomy, mathmatics, agriculture and so on; some technology was even more advanced than it is today. However, these achievements remain mysteries owing to the disappearance of Maya civilization. Dispite some of these relics being found, scientists were not able to study them without their language.
To summarize, the discussion cited above emphasizes that the extinction of languages would take away culture, spirit and wisdom. From what has been illustrated above, it is safe to draw the conclusion that there are many disadvantges on the disappearance of languages.

I went to kewgardens on Saturday

I went to kewgardens on Saturday.
There were a lot of beautiful flowers, leaves, and funny cacti.
I took many pictures there.
I'm interested in that place.

Isn't it true?

Don't worry about people in the past, there's always a reason to explain their absence. A person changes for two reasons: because they learn too much (although I think that you can never learn enough), or 'cause they suffered too much.
Important lesson: never depend on another person in your life, only God, 'cause he will never leave you alone.
