Are we living our best life?
I happened to read some posts on social media where girls post their pictures and use the hashtag that says "live your best life" and every time I read a post like this one I wonder to myself about this question. But let's start at the beginning. I started working in August, yes thats right, just when everyone else is leaving the office to go somewhere to relax with party hats, I took my first step into the adult world: the office (and it was empty, of course). I was very happy and excited because, when I left the UK I was a bit scared about my future, but after a few months I got my first internship where I can use my degree and I can keep practicing English because the company is American. I can earn money and be independent, so I can't complain (like always). After a few months, this happiness was already gone. I don't know if this happens when the job is not your dream job or if there are other reasons. but every morning, when the door of the elevator opens, I need to take a deep deep deep breath and say to myself "come on, Sara, you can do it again". When Friday comes I am always happy, but the weekend runs by so fast, even faster than me at the gym (well, it's not so difficult, because I just walk on the treadmill watching something on the phone - I know I am very bad -). During the weekend I can do what I couldn't do during the week. Most of the time they are just ordinary things, because my usual day at work is from 7 am to 7:30 pm (including taking the train), so I don't have much time after work. So when do people have time to do special things? Trips? Sleeping until late? It seems you can only do big things when you have big holidays (or if you win the lottery). If you think about it, it's very sad. Everyone says "you shouldn't live to work, you should work to live", while this sentences is true, it needs to "hit" reality: we don't have time. At least, what I can see in my small world. I can use my spare time for my hobbies, but I'm not so lucky every weekend. Anyway, I think even though we don't have as much time as we would like to have, every time you are free to do special things you live that moment more intensely, like you start a diet and finally on Saturday you can have your treat (a big piece of chocolate cake!). And maybe being an adult doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, because you have a schedule and deadlines that you can't ignore, but instead means you need (because you have to) to organize your time and people you share it with better. It doesn't sound so bad, does it?

Last year, I went to Australia with my boyfriend. We arrived at in Sydney and we spent a few days there. We saw the Blue Mountains, kangaroos at the Morisset Park, and of course the opera. From Sydney, we took a plane to go to Cairns. At In Cairns, we visited the town and we booked a day on a boat to see the coral reefs and to swim among plenty a large variety of fishes and even turtles and sharks! After that, we rented a car, we booked some Airbnb at a different places where we wanted to go to, and we hit the road! We went to the Daintree River, where, for the first time of in our lives, we saw crocodiles in the wild! We also went to Townswille where we booked a boat again to spend a day on the magnetic island where we saw a lot of koalas eating leaves in trees! They were so cute! And the most beautiful thing of this trip was when we took a plane to fly above the Whitsunday Islands and the famous Heart Reef. In all, we spent almost 3 weeks in Australia before coming back to France and it was a wonderful travel Trip!0 votedJanuary 6, 20190Government should invest more money in teaching science than other subjects
I'm totally agree that governments should invest more money in teaching science than other subjects in order for a country to develop and progress.
First, when schools get more money, they could buy the latest science machine or equipment to improve the science class environment, allowing students can to learn science be more easier and with greater efficient to learning science. We can then expected them will to become excellent scientist.
Second, when people can will have easier contact access to the scientific knowledge by making videos or building a TV channel. Superstition would not bothering people, instead people would know how to face the truth by using science.
Overall, when we have more excellent scientists and people have more common sense to accept science, then our country will have great development and progress.(2 quick notes:
1st. When speaking in hypothetical, we tend to either use plural or an article, example: "when schools get money", or "when a school gets money". The first is more general, the second is implying an example case. Both work equally well.
2nd when starting a sentence with "when" (like in this sentence) the conclusion to the idea needs to be within the sentence. to oversimplify your second paragraph, "when we all get smarter, the world will be better".
Dont be discouraged by all the markings, the sentences read well and made sense. It was really just that second point repeated a couple times which is by no means an easy thing to master (plenty of english speaks mess this up as well). :)

Hello !
Please correct my English.
As you know, the Olympic games will be held in Tokyo next year.
Of course I'm looking forward to this great event and I also want to help foreigners who visits Japan.
So I decided to brush up on my English up.
I work for a company in Tokyo.
I am 56 years old, an engineer of digital broadcasting.I have my wife and two sons.0 votedJanuary 6, 20191Who is the author?
When we read something (especially when it's something long) usually we feel the reflection of the author's personality.
If they are smart or not. Biased or not. Caring, polite vs rude and arrogant, and so on.
The author of the Bible is considered to be God who inspired the prophets to write it.
When I try to read the Bible I always feel confused, to say the least. no matter how hard I try to find a reflection of wisdom and kindness.
That makes me doubt who the actual author of the Bible might be.
I would appreciate if you correct my English here and would love to hear about your experience of reading the Bible if you share about that. ("Who Wrote the Bible?" by Richard Elliott Friedman. I THINK it was this one, anyway read it about 10 years ago now, an interesting read on the order written and authors of each of the books of the bible and the culmination of the bible. 10/10 i loved it. I know yours was more of a philosophical question but it made me remember a book i found really interesting so i had to recommend, also no corrections at least that i noticed!)0 votedJanuary 6, 20190Journal #66 Malacca (rewrite2)
Last month, I went to Malacca, Malaysia. I was looking forward to my trip because I wasn’t able to visit Malacca during my last visit to Malaysia. Malacca is located on the trade rout between China and the Middle East. Malacca had prospered because of foreign trade. Some countries tried to colonize Malacca. Portugal, Holland and England succeeded. When England colonized Malacca, many Chinese men immigrated to work at rubber plantations or "tin mins". Some of them married with local Malaccan women, and their descendants became known as the Peranakans. They built a unique culture that is a mix of both Chinese and Malay cultures.
The history of Malacca is interesting. However, I felt disappointed in the present state of Malacca. I saw many tricycles with seats in the back for tourists to ride in. These drivers played loud music and decorated their tricycle's with stuffed dolls like Doraemon and Hello kitty to attract tourists. I think such tricycles with modern cartoon themes are the diametric opposite of the historic image of Malacca. In addition, these themselves they're vulgarity and nonsense. I wonder why citizens don’t complain about them? Why doesn’t the government ban them? Malacca was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites in 2008, but I feel that this status does nothing to protect the historic culture.0 votedJanuary 6, 20191Facial Yoga? (I would appreciate any corrections here)
The face is an organ that contains a number of muscles, bones, blood vessels and nerves. Facial muscles action intensely (work constantly?) during the day and are exposed to various environmental factors, such as sunlight, wind, creams, cosmetics and stress.
As you grow older, these muscles becomes weak, loose and wrinkled. Skin is also gradually lost loses healthy because of inappropriate nutrition, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, stress and anxiety. Yoga fans say that it's relaxing for a day full of tension and stress, by returning the muscles of the face to their natural and normal state. In this case, there will be no need for Botox or plastic surgery. Plastic surgery may reduce wrinkles and lines on your face, but due to muscles weakness, wrinkles will return after a while.0 votedJanuary 6, 20191
