Is it possible to discriminate against people for the tone of their voice?
I watched a news today about language profiling. Profiling is based on racial discrimination, meaning people who belong to a particular group of race can be doubted by the police. Because the The police assume that these people are likely to commit a crime.A Research found that this profiling can even happen (occur) via phone. There was an experiment where two women made a call to look for an apartment. The One that was white and the other one was Africa American. And The results were that the Africa American woman was turned down by a landlord on during the phone enquiry because she was able to pick up that this woman wasn’t white, based on her tone of voice.
Also I found out that sounding like black is often used to as material amongst comedians. (this section doesn't link well with the rest of article, why do you think comedians use this type of material?) I was really surprised that people can be discriminated against for the by way they sound. It's very Often I to see people being discriminated against for their colour of skin, but I didn’t know that discrimination could happen via phone.

When I was young, I liked to travel on my own. My first over sea traveling ( you could try and use other words such as adventure , holiday or getaway was to go to Singapore. I was curious for about everything (everything, like what? the food, the people, you can add expand how you felt during that on your flight) during flight.I remember I required requested flight attendants to refill wine for three times, because it was free. I did enjoy traveling on my own. I checked out the map of guide-book to see how to get to anywhere locations I would like to visit. It looks like a complete other suggestions of words that describe your upcoming holiday could be adjectives- like amazing, breath-taking, awesome, exciting) adventure. Everything is was (past tense since you are talking about a past holiday) new and fantastic, for example, language, culture, people and so on. There were so many things I could learn. I am curious for this world. The passion is my power. - I want to find out more about the world we live in and it's my passion that drives to think and feel this way. - it that what you mean?
After I got married, I liked to travel by joining tours. I and my wife My wife and I have to look after two kids, you may image how many things you have to do to travel with two kids. But, the tours provide me an easy way to enjoy traveling. I don't worry about hotel, transport, food, sightseeing, shopping. and something like that. So, I get much more time to be with my family, which it is really convenient.
Currently, I am getting older, but I still have passion to travel around the world. And learing learning English is my first step to begin this adventure.

Today I went to a theater (theatre is spelt the with my 'r' before the 'e' I will leave a link you may find useful they have Chinese translation and lots of other vocab ^^https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/theater
The name of movie is EX-Files. In this movies，(this is singular and movies is plural, e.g. of what you could say, could either... In the movie or this movie.)
At first，I am ('I am confused') confused why can't the lovers (lovers is plural form as you are talking about more than one person.)live together. In the last, I suddenly understand that the person who you loved may not suit to you, but the person you married may suit to you.
I hope that helps.
liz :)
