    Reflejas sobre ser alumno en los EEUU En la escuela secundaria en los EEUU, si se quiere tomar una clase más difícil o con más profundidad, generalmente se tomaría una clase AP (literalmente "posición avanzada"). Como si fuera la cosa más estadounidense que se podría imaginar, la compañía que lo ejecuta es privado, y cada examen cuesta 96 dólares, ya una frontera de clase social. Si se lo prueba recibiere crédito de universidad. Como se puede imaginarlo, a menudo los estudiantes se encuentran estresados. Hace pocos días cada estudiante recibió sus resultados, que vienen solo en números. No en secciones, lo que se ve del examen entero es un número único. Porque soy estudiante, muchos de mis amigos se sienten que valgan menos. Para mí, en realidad me dio una crisis existencial: recibí buenos resultados sino no me sentí nada. Por una noche pensé en como quizás debería tomar la escuela menos en serio, porque en realidad me siento que no hubiera tenido muchas experiencias que impacta la vida en serio. ¡También me mudaré en dos semanas! Y también a una ciudad que tienen mucho más para hacer. La ciudad en que vivo ahora es, como muchas ciudades estadounidenses, una serie de suburbios con un nombre común. Así que creo que tendré más oportunidades para explorarles a mis pasatiempos y et cetera. Y quizás entonces no pondré demasiada esfuerza en la escuela sino en experimentando la vida y haciendo recuerdos. (Ser honesto, no tenía mucho de una idea de lo que estuve escribiendo. Lo siento si fuera aburrido u otra cosa.)

    Angry moments.

    Sometimes I feel angry because people don't understand me or they understand what they want to. Then I think I have to explain myself in a better way but they talk so loud and I don't want to talk in a higher tone so I let them think what they want. I need to learn how to express myself better. Maybe I could give them a piece of paper with my opinions hahaha. XD

    A broken heart and a haircut

    I'm going to tell you about a trend that Vietnamese girls tend to do/ usually do when they want to get over sad* things. Especially when they are dumped or have a breakup. I don't know how you deal with these kinds of situations or the most popular actions of the girls in your countries. In Vietnam, there are so many things that girls often do when their hearts are broken such as drink alcohol, eat any kind of food as much as possible, cry over and over, go shopping, take care of their appearances more, go somewhere far away and so on. However, the most popular thing is having a haircut. When they change their hairstyles, they feel like they are different from their versions before the breakup so that they feel better. Some girls just change simply from wearing long hair to short hair. Others change more than a haircut. I mean they change not only their hairstyles but also their personalities. For example, from a normal girl wearing long hair to a characteristic girl wearing tomboy hairstyle. When they have a haircut in that kind of situation, they will tend to have their hair cut everytime they feel dull. Once, I had my hair cut when I was in college, since then, I can't wear long hair anymore.

    *: "Blue" is only used to mean "sad" in poetry or music

    also: this is an interesting thing to read about, thank you for posting it!

    How to Tell Chinese Stories in English

    As China grows stronger, it is more important for China to show cultural self-confidence, communication and national conditions.

    It is challenging to tell Chinese stories in English from the Chinese perspective. First and foremost, we choose the suitable theme of stories which are combined with what we want to tell and what others want to listen to. As the international community has become increasingly concerned with China, many foreign people have a keen interest in Chinese miracles and would like to know the secret of China's success. Furthermore, we transform the new era theory, experience and Chinese history, especially the history of the Chinese revolution, into stories that are easy to for foreigners to understand and accept. In order to strengthen the communication effect, we should transform the word "human destiny community" into the new expression and language characteristics of foreigner audiences.

    Erik Nilsson said:"I strongly believe that many of the global community's misunderstandings of China's realities stem less from different beliefs and more from ignorance generated by a lack of communication that's largely linguistic." Therefore, we should tell Chinese stories in English to promote cultural communication and to spread the image of the state.

    The only correction I made is incredibly minor and common among native speakers. Great job!

    Ansiedad por el futuro Como un adolescente enfrento muchos obstáculos que pueden determinar mi futuro. Particularmente no sé lo que quiero hacer, pero esto es simplemente una cosa de la vida. Este julio me mudaré a Austin (en Texas) desde Ciudad de Oklahoma -- un cambio enorme. Aquí esta ciudad no es ninguna. Los solos edificios son en el centro y el resto de la ciudad es como un suburbio. En Austin es como una ciudad estadounidense real. ¡Una cosa en que pienso mucho es que Austin tiene musica! Me siento que encontrare a muchas personas que tienen los intereses parecidos a mí. Sin embargo habrá un cambio mas grande: tendrá libertad. Una de las razones por que voy a mudarme es porque pienso que mis padres tienen demasiada influencia en mi vida. Sé que mucho de esto lee como diatriba tonta, pero en este momento mi vida es tan aburrida y necesito algo para escribir de. Bien, podrá hacer amigos libremente, y el estado de Texas es mejor para hacer dedo (algo que quiero hacer a algún punto, algo que no es tan peligroso como te habría creer los cines de Hollywood). También podría ir a una universidad más buena que las que están en mi estado actual. Aquí siempre estoy en lo alto de mis clases y allí a retos reales les enfrentaré. Esto me dará el dinamismo para ser una persona más feliz. De todos modos, esto es TAN largo y ha divagado mucho, pero gracias.

    So much time without writing...

    It was about a year ago that I started to study English seriously, but a lot of events have gotten in my way and made me drop studying a little bit. But I am still trying to do a lot of listening, with TED talks, youtubers, radio... Now I can understand most words and subjects that people say... some words still remain a mystery, but I think that I have become a better listener and writer.
    Sometimes I still struggle with words and sentences, but I hope that I get better. I'm a little apprehensive with my actions, because we adults in general have a fear of doing something wrong...

    I hope that I wrote better than last time...

    Disarmament is quite the tricky subject because whether or not it is effective depends completely on how stable your country already is. For example, it's easy to ban personal use firearms in a place like Iceland because they don't really have any society-level gun problems. However, many people from countries that have large scale violence problems, such as with gang or drug crime, will absolutely want the right to own guns, especially if their government is not only impotent but corrupt, such as in Brazil (as stated above) or in Mexico (from which I have many gun ownership-supporting friends who immigrated because of the cartel violence). As someone from the United States that considers myself pretty liberal, I do support gun ownership. I also think much of the negative stigma about owning guns here comes from the association that gun ownership has with minorities (gang violence) and with people that live in the countryside. For most minority communities in the USA, calling the police is simply not reliable, as they often harass and/or brutalize these communities for various reasons. The problem is similar in the countryside, which comes from many people (mainly Europeans) not understanding how far apart everything is here -- if you live in a rural town it can often take an hour or so for any kind of emergency services to show up, so it becomes necessary to take the role of police into one's own hands.
