One of the Worse Things That Happened in Our World
January 27, 1945Soviet troops entered Auschwitz, Poland and released Jewish prisoners from the death camp.
Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day and people from the whole world over, remember the 6.000.000 Jews who were killed or gassed during the Second War.
I have been always interested in history and in particular , the Second War. I have watched dozens of movies, read many books and memoirs , dedicated to war and the topic of violence against the Jewish people; it never gives me rest. My heart still breaks for those people who endured such horrors.
During my holiday, I made a trip to Warsaw where I went to a museum of Polish Jews . I appreciate that people created a place where others can become acquainted with the history of that nation ,seeing how the Jews suffered, died and hid from the Nazis, during Holocaust.
If you are not well acquainted with the Holocaust, I recommend a few movies which you can watch. I guarantee that they will touch the depths of your soul :
1. Schindler's List
2. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
3. The Pianist
4. Life Is Beautiful0 votedJanuary 27, 20191RICE CONSUMPTION
The other day, my italki teacher, who has an Indonesian wife, told me that his wife asks him whenever she prepares meals, "what do you want to eat with rice today?". This indicates that the Indonesians usually eat rice at each meal.
It is true that most Japanese people consider that the staple food in Japan is rice, however, they actually don't eat rice as much as Indonesians. In fact,according to an online article I found, the rice consumption per capita in Indonesia is more than double that in Japan. I was surprised when reading the article because I didn't know that there was such a significant difference between Japan and Indonesia.I was also surprised at the rice consumption in African countries such as Siera Leone, Guinea and Liberia is much more than in Japan. I guess that there are only a few people in Japan who know those facts.

Example: if you have an apartment that is very small and you had a piece of furniture that you like ( couch, chair etc), but that item will not fit in your apartment because that apartment is too small . You would say "I like that chair, but I'm short on space so I can' t buy it". This means that the chair just won't fit in your apartment because the apartment is so small. I can't think that this would ever apply to earbuds since they are so small..0 votedAugust 12, 20181
- I am working on my Master's thesis ( most common). I am working on my Master's thesis project ( can be used and you would be understood, but less common). I don't know that this may also depend on country (?); I work for a University in the U.S., worked on Master's degree and so did both of my parents, but that was many years go.0 votedSeptember 12, 20170
An opinion essay: Books and Technology
Nowadays, more and more schools are replacing books with computers and tablets. We might not be able to stop this growing digital trend, but books are not the only way we obtain knowledge .
There are some advantages to changing from books to tablets. First of all, tablets provide a new way to interact with the students. There are a lot of applications which are designed for education and it can be a good choice to learn new things. Second, tablets are extremely lighter in weight than books; one only needs one small bag to carry a tablet. Third, tablets are more economical than books. Transferring e books is always cheaper than buying print books , although a device is more expensive than a book. A tablet, also, can take up less room than books.
Even though tablets have a lot of advantages, books can not be completely replaced by devices. For example, students can read a book longer than watching computer screens and tablets because eyes become tired when using these devices too long. Books can also help students concentrate. Electronic devices can easily make students lose their concentrations as the games, application, and notifications can draw student's attention.
In spite of advantages of devices, there are still some reasons that they can not replace all books. I think they have to exist at the same time ;one can not replace the other.0 votedApril 25, 20171
