Essay #102 "Old Buildings" 29.04.18
In recent decades with the growth of modern cities, it became has become extremely common to demolish old buildings in order to build modern ones instead of them. And it has divided society into two parts,: one thinks that it is just wrong to destruct our history, while the other believes that it is just a natural process. I will try to explain why national architecture is important and how it can co-exist with progress and modernization without clashing.
Historical buildings are very important for national culture because they represent its unique vibes, and without them a whole nation can lose its face and became indistinguishable amongst others. With the new trend to build modern styled buildings, many cities, despite they are being located in different countries, became almost similar. and it is This has happened only because they have lost their historical sites. Another thing is not about the (what you had before was OK, too, but it seems more natural with the "the") representation of unique culture right now, but about passing it to the next generations. National architecture is one of the most important parts of a culture, and without its preservation, it is very hard for the next generations to inherit national ideas and values.
We have to understand that old buildings and progress are not the opposites,; we can make them to exist together in harmony. And There a lot of examples all over the world when where people are able to save their culture and at the same time not to impede technological progress in architecture. It is especially clearly seen in eastern countries, where skyscrapers are located side-by-side with ancient temples and old-fashioned markets without clashing with them each other. People just have to understand its importance that influences not only their lives, but the lives of their children as well. Moreover, we should not use progress as a means to erase the national features of countries and make them absolutely generic and faceless.
To conclude, national history is very important for raising children and in the forming of society, and architecture is one of the most important parts of it. By demolishing old and replacing it with new, we lose our connection with previous generations and cut off our ancestry. Thus, this awful trend turns unique cities into some sort of worn-out pattern which influences people as well, making them indistinguishable like the cities they live in. So, in order to save our uniqueness, we have to save the uniqueness of our cities. It is the only way to protect our culture for the next generations.____
Really good job! A lot of the things I corrected were punctuation-related (which even native speakers have trouble with!) and some stylistic things to make some of the sentences sound more natural to me. Your English is very good!

J'aime bien me dire que je peux lire et comprendre bien le français, mais je me suis rendue compte aujourd'hui, en essayant d'écrire quelquechose en français demandant des suggestions pour des séries, que c'est difficile pour moi de rappeler les petits détails ! Par exemple, j'avais besoin de chercher beaucoup des mots simples dans le dictionnaire (comme le mot simple!), parce que je ne pouvais pas me souvenir quels articles il faut mettre après quels adjectives, et surtout le genre ! Je suis un peu deçue de ne pas écrire assez facilement que je voulais, notamment parce que j'ai pas de problème en lisant des articles français ou en écoutant des podcasts. Il y a une grande différence entre l'acte de comprendre une phrase et de produire une phrase.April 28, 201820
Today is Buddha's birthday. In Korea, today is a holiday. I heard that the buddhist Buddhism has a big portion among of religionest. religious followers. Generally, the olds people or women believe the in buddhism. Most of temples are located in the deep mountains. Of course, these days, many temples are built in the cities. However it is the a special case. Therefore, even though I am an atheist, l like this the calm and peaceful mood of the temple. To When I go there, I can enjoy many excellent sceneries during the drive driving. I really congratulate his birthday. When I was a child, my friends disputed with each other about Buddha. Some said that he is was a man, others said that he is was a woman. Like this, we disputed with each other about the sex of Jesus. Frankly speaking, until when I graduated the elementary school, I knew the thought that Jesus is was a woman.
Today is the Buddha's birthday and in at the same time, it is my brother's birthday. All the family cannot forget his birthday. It is very lucky for him. The very early this morning, I left a celebration message to for him by SNS.
Even though, today is the a holiday, I will not go to outside for doing to do some activities due to the fine-dust. It is very severe problem in Korea. The quality of Seoul has is the third lank worst(just guessing your meaning here) in the world. I bought many masks for my familles family.
At night, there are some march parades on in the streets with lightening lights to celebrate Buddha's birthday.
The very strange point is that the Buddha's birthday is different by for each countries country. On the other hand, the birthday of Jesus is the same for all countries. Anyway, I am very happy not to work today.0 votedMay 8, 20171'The Blind Watchmaker' is by Clinton Richard Dawkins who is a biologist. This book is about evolution based on the theory of the evolution by 'dawin' Darwin.This is really hard and difficult to read and understand the contents even though it's made with written in my native language. While I was reading this book, sometimes I'm was suspicious of whether I was reading understanding this the contents or just reading the literal words. It would be really useless if I read just words and did not to understand.My major is related to biologic biology, actually food technology. I had learned some of biology but the book is was quite hard to me. These days I gave give up trying to understand it and only keep reading it to the end.I thought think that i I have to see the end and I am sure that I'm not gonna understand it at all. In fact, I can't help not understanding it at all because the contents are a really big, outstanding, specific story made by a prominent professor over about the whole world. So I think I have to repeat (reread) it many times to follow it even if it's sort of the things that I can get. To be honest, I bought it because of my interests and I'm going to the end today as well.

A big problem I had was mold. It was the first summer since I moved in.
I smelled something bad in my home and noticed it was from mold on balcony wall.
During the rainy season, the wall was covered with mold. (good!)
I searched for solutions and tried to get a hold of the situation.
First of all, I purchased a mold cleaner to remove it. It took several hours to clean everything up.
However, it couldn't be a fundamental solution.>> However, it wasn't the best solution. >> However, it wasn't effective.
It grows grew again in warm, damp air, Sso I ventilated the room regularly, even twice a day.
In the summer, I left the window open to reduce the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors.
By doing this, I realized the importance of ventilation, and now I pay extra attention to mold.0 votedMay 8, 20171
