Ek wil Afrikaans leer

Ek woon in Namibië, maar ek praat nie Afrikaans nie. Dikwels gaan ek <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">na die</s> supermark toe en iemand probeer <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">probeel</s> met my in Afrikaans praat. Maar ek kan hulle nie verstaan nie. Ek wil graag Afrikaans <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">graag</s> leer, sodat ek mense kan verstaan.

Soveel het gebeur en 'n interessante besluit is geneem

Niemand het op die oomblik 'n <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">normaal</s> normale lewe nie. Die inperking het my baie mal gemaak <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">geraak</s>, maar ek weet dit is <s>die</s> 'n feit en niemand kan 'n enkele ding aan die situasie verander nie. Daarom het ek baie dinge beplan om my <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">lewe</s> tyd mee vol te maak.

Daar is baie wat in my lewe tydens hierdie tydperk gebeur het. Eerstens, ek het vroeër <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">nou-nou</s> 'n moontlike verhouding beëindig <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">eindig</s>. Dit was hartseer. In <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">Op</s> die begin van die jaar het ons baie goed met mekaar gesels, <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">en</s> uitgegaan en het ons baie planne saam gemaak. Maar niks is gedoen weens die virus nie. <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">En</s> Bietjie-vir-biertjie <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">bietjie op bietjie</s> het ons verder gedryf van mekaar <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">geword</s> en nou het sy vir my gesê <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">gese</s> dat sy ander planne het vir haar toekoms en dis beter dat ons "vriende" bly. Ek het gedog dat ek uiteintlik "die een" gevind het want sy hou ook van my. God alleen sou weet wat kon gebeur het as daar geen virus <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">gewees</s> was nie...

Dit is hartseer en ek het soveel wat in my gedagtes ronddraai<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">. W</s>, ek weet nie wat om te doen nie. Alles het te skielik <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">dadelik</s> gebeur en om eerlik te wees, is ek nie bereid daarvoor nie. Sy is my vriendin, maar ons weet altwee ons is méér <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">meer</s> as dit en díe <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">dit</s> is die einde van alles. Ek dink ek sal 'n paar weke, of selfs maande nodig hê <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">het</s> om uit hierdie gemors <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">mess</s> te kom.

Ek het altyd <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">'n</s> interessante idees. Ek hou nog altyd van die Switserse Duits <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">Switserduits</s> taal en<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">. En</s> ek is nuuskierig of dit moontlik is om dit te leer, noudat daar geen grammatika boeke beskikbaar is nie. So ek wil 'n bietjie probeer leer. Hopelik só dat ek die treurige dinge vergeet wat gebeur het.

Ag dit is die slegste paar dae van my lewe hier... kan dit nie verdra nie...

265 - Frustration or consolation?

Every time I<s>'m</s> read<s>ing</s> something in English I realize that there is something new I must learn or figure out. It might be a grammatical rule, the use of a particular word (e.g. whether, which I've not understood yet how to use it) or an idiomatic expression I don't know. From a certain point of view, it's something positive. It means that what I'm reading is somehow useful. On the other hand, sometimes this is daunting, because it also means that I've not yet reached the level I wish.

And how about you? How do you deal with this problem?

What should I reply when a misunderstanding occurs……

When I talked with the director of our department about a submitted <s>submission</s> article, I sent him a screenshot of the submission on the system, on which the article we submitted a week ago still <s>sitll</s> showed a status of "with editor". A few minutes later, he sent<s>d</s> me a screenshot of an email from another magazine of which the name is similar with the magazine I submitted the article to. The email said that magazine have changed its website, then he suggested that I <s>me to</s> re-submit the article to the new website. After I realized that he seemed to misread the magazine name, I said maybe the magazine we referred was not the same one. But he asked to me to read the email carefully. How should <s>can</s> I reply to him??? He is my director and I cannot say "you are false".

Rewrite: How the biology influence history？(part two)

The third biological lesson of history is, life must reproduce <s>breed</s>. Nature has a passion for quantity as a prerequisite to the selection of quality.

She cares about the species more than the individual. Some low birth rate civilizations had<s>s</s> been chastened periodically by some high birth rate groups, even if their culture(size) was relatively high.

If the human population <s>brood</s> is too high <s>numerous</s> for the food supply;<s>, F</s> famine, pestilence, and war can restore the balance of resources and human numbers. <s>The</s> Malthus predicted that those three will come even in periodic ways because the population increases faster <s>quicker</s> than agriculture. So in his book 'Essay on population', he advised abstention from sexual intercourse except for reproduction.

But he didn't perceive other adjustments of the population. Technology, exploring, and several ways to push the <s>F</s>food supply kept pace with birth rates.

We hope in the future, the advances of industry, urbanization, education, and standards of living can control the wild horse of the population. (They did <s>it.</s>)

If the intelligent fulfill the birth control better than the sample in a group, will the group become weaker? Genes are an influence, <s>B</s>but <s>the</s> education's influence is stronger. Biologically, <s>P</s>physical vitality, maybe<s>,</s> at birth, is of greater value than intellectual pedigree.

Birth control, <s>F</s>fertility desire, and <s>I</s>immigration can change the proportion of one race in one nation. It can change the structure of power and the path of the human being.
