TO COMMENT ON A PIECE OF NEWS

There was a 1-year-old boy was in a parked car with four other people when, at about 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, a car stopped next to them. Someone on foot or from inside that car opened fire at the car with the boy in it, striking the him*, according to Chicago police. The little boy was hospitalized in a critical condition.

I chose this piece of news because I am against weapons. Since I was younger, I never understood the reason why a teenager in the USA can carry a weapon to the college, or the reason why people can walk around with a gun on their person.**

Efforts to control weapons always fail. There are many victims of firearms in this country: shootings in schools, shopping centers, restaurants, and offices. In addition, there are also accidents caused by weapons in peoples homes. Despite this***, American citizens agree to keep weapons in their cars or at homes.
Many citizens think it is a necessity for self-defense: a characteristic of this**** culture is that people are inclined to think that the Government will not be there to help them if things end badly*****.
Factories produce more and more weapons, which makes up an important part of the economy of this country. Furthermore,  one of the laws of this country allows people to have a loaded gun at home for the purpose of self-defense.

*You should be consistent with the words you use, for example, if you say "1-year-old boy" at the beginning, you should continue to use the word "boy" to describe him. However, if you say "1-year-old baby" at the beginning, then you should continue to use the word "baby". Otherwise, readers may get confused.

**to carry something "on their person" means to carry something somewhere on their body: maybe in their hand, maybe in their pocket, maybe in their bag, etc.

***You can still say "however" here (its not wrong), but I think it's more natural to use the word "despite"

****Previously you were say "this country", so you must also say "this culture" if you are talking about the culture of "this country"

*****this is not wrong but I think it's more natural to say "go wrong"

My sleep 2/12/2019

My sleep is not good these days. Whenever I have some unsolved problems, or annoying things, I can't sleep not well.
My baby is coming soon, which is not only very hard on my wife, but also means I need to prepared a lot of things for the upcoming baby. Additionally, my work is not going well either: and it's very busy, It and making my situation more difficult. （你要是想用一个跟”雪上加霜”差不多的英语熟语，你可以用“adding fuel to the fire"去代替“and making my situation more difficult"）
I should be more organised in my daily life, do and not give up my hobbies and ideals. I should spend a short time, for example 10 minutes, summarising* my life every day, and I shouldn't worry about it after that.
I hope my good sleep will come back soon.

我的睡眠一直不好，每当有什么事情没解决或者比较烦恼的时候，我就会睡的不好。我的小孩马上就要出生了，一方面妻子很辛苦，一方面要准备小孩出生后的很多东西。我的工作也是不太顺利，也很忙，这样真是雪上加霜。
我应该更有计划的过好每天，不要放弃自己的爱好和理想，每天花很短的时间比如说十分钟来总结，总结完之后就不要在困扰自己了。我希望好的睡眠尽快恢复。

*summarise = 总结， analyse = 分析

Marshalls (010)

I like the discounts shop of Marshalls. Lately, I have been going there once a week. Marshalls has a lot of cute items, especially baby clothes. I got some very cute baby clothes. I almost feel like starting a new business selling cute baby clothes to Japanese people!

A dog, a girl from Poland, and the uncertainty of Heisenberg

Last summer I was having a conversation with a girl from Poland. She asked to me:

- Ok, what does it mean when you write this: jejjejejjejejejjejej

I answered her that that is the way Spanish people write down that they´re laughing*. She said:

- I don´t believe you, because when I´m laughing, I write this: ahahahahahahah.

Then I remembered one anecdote** from my childhood. When I was at school in the english class, another student had a book with a lot of drawings, like a comic. In one picture, there was a dog barking with a several words written: "uouf uouf uouf".

Then, my level of english was very basic. I asked to my teacher, "what does 'uouf uouf uouf' mean?". My teacher said it is the way dogs barking in England. I said, "that´s not true, because dogs are the same animals all over the world, and here in Spain, when a dog is barking, it sounds like 'guau guau guau'".

So, now I understand that we try to translate sounds in our brain through our culture. I tried to apply the uncertainty of Heisenberg to the process of communication.

If you try to study a system, using a tool that it doesn't belong to that system, the answer will be influenced by the tool.

Although it sounds philosophical, maybe sounds exist in a different way, in a pure form that we try to translate using a external tools. In this case, we´re talking about our brain and our culture. That's why we get different interpretations depending on the country.

What's your opinion?***

*Instead of "write down that they're laughing" you can also say "express laughter in written form"

**Using the word "anecdote" is not wrong, but it's very uncommon. Nowadays, people tend to say "story" instead.

***What you said isn't wrong but I think it would be more natural to say "What do you think?"
