Hello! I'm a Polish native speaker, but I feel more at ease with my second language, English. I love languages. When I was just a little girl, it seemed to me that poliglots are genuine magicians :) J’espère qu’un jour je pourrai comprendre toute la littérature française dans sa forme originale, avec les nuances et les références :) Deutsch trat 2020 in mein Leben und hat sich seitdem zur Sprache meines Alltags entwickelt :) Mir fällt vor allem auf, dass Deutsch viel süßer und netter ist, als die Menschen es oft beschreiben :) 日本語は、これまで学んできた言語のなかで最も難しいと思います。それでも、日々努力を重ねながら学習を続けています。いつか必ず、日本語で自由に話せるようになると信じています。:) 音楽、文学、美術史、哲学、そして言語学に強い関心があります。 I speak a bit of Latin, but I'm fairly sure that if Cicero ever had had an opportunity to hear me use it, he would (at best!) have delegated me to scraping bird waste off the walls of his residence... My interests include linguistics, history, literature and music.

Ewa is truly an excellent student, and it’s clear she has a genuine interest in learning Greek. I’m impressed by the rapid progress she’s made, not only in speaking but also in expanding her vocabulary and mastering grammar rules. Her success is a result of her passion for learning new languages. She doesn’t just rely on what we cover in our lessons; instead, she uses it as a foundation to explore the language even more deeply on her own.

    Today is the 16th day of my 30 days challenge.

    I have been getting lazy since I started working from home. (present perfect continuous WELL used, bravo)
    I have to clock in my time card before 8 pm to get the job started ,but I usually sleep until 7:55 am.
    As you would expect, I have no time to eat breakfast before I start working, so I am hungry and not completely focused on my task.
    I had wanted to change my bad habit and today I finally broke it! (past perfect+past simple, WELL DONE!)
    I woke up at 7:00 am and made breakfast for me and my boyfriend.
    I'll try to keep up doing it as long as I can:)

    Today, I want to write about sustainable clothes.

    Recently I started being interested in sustainable clothes.
    I often spend my spare time browsing instagram stories and recently I've noticed that there are so many adds of clothing brands in them.
    One time, I swiped up the add and went to the clothes store’s website because it seemed to suit my taste. The price of clothes was much higher than you'd expect it to be, so I was wondering if it was made by a famous brand, but it turned out they were producing sustainable fashion.
    I have heard the word before, but I had no idea what the sustainable fashion was.
    According to the website, they only use natural and organically sourced materials and take care of all the processes of making clothes so that they can ensure their products are produced ethically.
    I thought their business model was kind of opposite to fast fashion, such as H&M and Forever 21.

    They are aware that they will never be as cheap as fast fashion brands , but I think it is worth spending money on the sustainable clothes because they choose eco-friendly materials , pay fair wages to farmers and dressmakers and make the items carefully, by hand.

    I agreed with the policy of the company and also liked the style of the clothes , so I decided to buy 2 tops in different colors!!

    From now on, I've decided to try and make choices that are good for the environment - as much as I can:)

    Thank you for reading my note to the end.

    Hello, August!
    Today is my 14th day of my 30days challenge.

    Today I'm thinking about writing about " poverty in Japan".
    Japan is one of the most developed countries in the world ,but there are education related problems caused by poverty.

    Recently, the number of single- parent households has been increasing in Japan because of the hight rates of divorces or unmarried couples.
    It is said that more than half of them are categorized as having lower than the median household income, because 80% of fathers don't pay child support after their divorce.

    There is another reason why the single parents are categorized as having low income. Single parents, especially women, are likely to give up their full time jobs and start working as part time workers to spend more time with their children and take care of them.
    I hope the situation will get better ,but many companies make it difficult for women who have kids to get promoted or work full time.

    The income affects children's education.
    In Japan, high school is not compulsory education,so parents have to pay the tuition for it.
    Children in low-income families struggle with poorer learning environment and the inability to get high education such as going to university or high school makes them get bad jobs.
    I guess other countries have problems similar to this.
    It seems difficult to get out of this downward spiral unless society changes.

    What we can do to change the situation is to go voting and participate in our countries' politics.
    I also found there are organizations which support children in poverty and you can join them as a volunteer.
    I want to look into it and think about what I can do for them.

    Thank you for reading to the end:)

    Today is the 15th day of my 30 days challenge.
    I haven't written notes everyday, but I think I have been doing good so far.
    Honestly, I didn't expect that I would make it this far.
    I'll promise myself to complete this 30 day challenge, no matter how long it takes.
    I would be grateful if you could keep cheering me on.

    Today I want to write about how reality shows impact people.

    I like watching reality shows because I feel like the world of the show is much closer compared to the world of the Hollywood movies.
    For reality shows, the cast is usually chosen out of ordinary people, so I think we can easily empathize with them.

    Terrace House was one of my favorites; it shows the love life between 3 males and 3 females who live together in a fancy house.
    However, the production declared to call off making new episodes due to the death of a person from the cast. Actually, that person had been worried by cyberbullying. According to her friend , after an episode was released, cyberbullying against her became heated up and it became a trigger for her to commit suicide.

    When I heard about this tragedy, I couldn’t believe what had happened and I was shocked.

    The more popular the show becomes, the more people with different perspectives ​​will see it and start discussing who they like and who they don’t on social media.
    I feel like sometimes viewers are likely to forget that what you are watching is just a show and not truth, since it was edited by producers.

    I think it’s very important for us to recognize the reality show is also a kind of show and what you are watching is not the truth.

    Thank you for reading to the end.

    427 - A fascinating proverb

    In Latin, Romance-speaking cultures, there is a saying that can be translated as "tell me with whom you walk and I will tell you who you are". The meaning of this proverb is that you can be defined by the people you spend time with. While not an innovative idea, it is intriguing to think about. Actually, the saying is much more complex, because the "you walk" part opens ways to numerous interpretations. I like to read that part of the sentence as the people we would follow everywhere, regardless of destination. In this interpretation, the proverb states that we can be defined only by those people we truly admire and spend time with. There is an underlying problem though. Are we able to identify those people?

    What do you think about it? Have you ever heard this proverb?

    ----

    It's beautifully written, so please treat my corrections as suggestions of syntax improvement rather that real mistake troubleshooting.

    While I agree with the proverb, I think its meaning is even more figurative: personally, I'd include favourite authors/artists/thinkers among the people "with whom you walk".

    La productivité. //Quelqu'un serait-il assez gentil pour corriger cette entrée? Aujourd'hui, je voudrais poser une question: pour maximum productivité, combien est-il importante de faire un programme (pour un jour, une semaine, une année?). Après de mes nombreuses épreuves, difficultés et le temps passé à essayer différentes approches, j'ai suis arrivée à la conclusion qu'un programme stricte est vraiment indispensable pour moi. Chaque semaine, j'ai un plan prêt: je décide à l’avance combien d'heures je vais passer sur chaque activité et quels résultats je veux voir à la fin de la semaine. Je fais un raport de progrès chaque semaine, pour comparer mes objectifs et mes résultats. Ces méthodes m'aident de garder une trace de ma productivité et de réduire la quantité de temps perdu. Une autre des choses qui m’a aidé à être plus efficace est de me coucher / me réveiller tous les jours à la même heure. Peu importe si c’est le dimanche, les vacances ou le Nouvel An, je me lève juste avant 5 h du matin. Bien que c’était très difficile au début (tout le temps, je n’arrêtais pas de m’endormir pendant la journée ), mon cerveau a finalement conformé. La clé était de commencer une journée avec une séance d’entraînement vicieux (à la fois du corps et de l’esprit)! Je pense qu’il est également utile de faire mensuelle / annuelle "checkpoints " ainsi. Quoi qu’il en soit, au fil du temps, j’ai remarquée une chose curieuse. Plus le plan devenait détaillé et strict, plus d’activités j’étais mesure de planifier et faire. Maintenant, je sais je dois être responsable de chaque heure de ma journée. Je sais que je suis encore très, très loin de la productivité que j’aimerais avoir. Il y a cet l’élan naturel vers la paresse et la conservation de l’énergie. J’échoue beaucoup. Beaucoup! Mais le programme m'a aidé à tout contrôler et plus je stressais l’esprit, plus il s’adaptait. C’est une expérience douloureuse, mais merveilleuse. Cela m’a fait réaliser combien de temps j’ai perdue au fil des ans.

    Today is the 13th day of my 30 days challenge.

    I just turned 27 yesterday. I'm another year older...
    My boyfriend and his family held a small birthday party and his nephew and nieces sang a birthday song for me. I was almost crying because it was the first time in 9 years that I've spent my birthday with family. Actually, I've always had mixed feelings about getting older after turning 22 years ,but this time I enjoyed this cute party!

    Today I want to write about " Diversity in entertainment industry".
    Do you think TV shows and movies have the responsibility of being more diverse?
    I want to say "Yes, they do."

    To be honest, I didn't even pay attention to diversity in the entertainment industry when I lived in Japan. Nowadays, we can see people who are half Japanese on some Japanese shows ,but most popular artists or actors are still Japanese, as you expected. I think this is related to the fact that 97.8% of the population of Japan are Japanese (is that what you've meant?:) )

    When I first watched the sitcom Friends, it blew my mind to see how diversified the US was.
    In the episodes, lesbians ,gays and a surrogate mother appeared normally and it was totally refreshing for me, as a Japanese teenager, at that time.

    But after I have learned more about LGBT and BLM movements , I come to think that Friends might have a taste of white supremacy. I remember that main characters often make fun of lesbians or regarding other character as gay and there are hardly any black people in the show.

    The way of thinking, our behavior are being affected easily by TV shows and movies, without us even realizing it. I think they have great power to make people believe what they present as right. That's why I agree with the opinion that TV shows and movies have the responsibility of being more diverse.

    I heard some good news on it.
    Disney decided to remake one of their popular movies , The little mermaid, with live action.
    I was surprised and at the same time really excited when I saw the cast of the movie.
    Disney selected Halle Bailey as Ariel; she is a black girl and R&B singer. They also selected Awkwafina, who is a Chinese American actress, as the seagull Scuttle.
    I felt Disney valued showing diversity in the movie more than reproducing their animation movie.

    I'm really looking forward to watching the new movie and seeing the real diversity in the entertainment industry.

    Thank you for reading to the end .

    Today is my 11th day of the 30 days challenge.

    Today I want to write about backpacking.
    Have you ever gone backpacking?
    Do you know what is the difference between backpacking and regular traveling?
    I think it’s quite simple. All you need for backpacking is a backpack and maybe a map. That would be it!

    Actually, I have gone backpacking to Peru and Bolivia for my university graduation trip.
    Looking back at the trip, I’m sure it was the best trip ever I had in my life.
    The reasons why I decided to go on backpacking are as follows: firstly, I could save some money, compared to the regular trips.
    Secondly, it sounded like real adventure and I was excited about it.
    Thirdly, I had never tried backpacking before then so I was curious and just wanted to try it out.

    I chose the places (Peru and Bolivia) because visiting and seeing Machu Picchu and Uyuni salt lake was on my bucket list.
    I heard that when you start working at an office, it’s very difficult to take days off , especially if you are working in Japanese companies ,so I thought going backpacking during the last school vacation was sound judgement.

    I didn’t expect it was going to be such a crazy trip because I was confident that I could ask about whatever I wanted to know in English, but it turned out not everybody can speak English in Peru and Bolivia .

    I’ll write about some of my backpacking adventures in the next note.

    Thank you for reading all to the end.
    Please feel free to leave your comments and correct my wrong English:)

    Have a good night!

    This is my 12th day of the 30 days challenge.
    Today, I'm going to write about my backpack trip to Peru and Bolivia, continuing the previous note.
    As you can imagine, Peru and Bolivia is not as safe as Japan so you have to be more careful when you are in these countries. I was worried about getting mugged in Peru and Bolivia so I came up with a brilliant idea - it was to put our money separately. For example, some money is in my wallet, but the rest is in socks that I'm wearing. Also, I made a pouch attached to my underpants and I put my passport, credit card and really important things in there. Looking back at it now, the idea of the pouch thing sounds ridiculous ,but I thought it was the best way to protect my belongings at that time...lol
    My plan of the trip was as follows: firstly, I landed in Lima, which is a capital of Peru and located nearby the ocean. The city is at a low altitude so I didn't get mountain sickness at all.
    After that, I flew to Cusco, which was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
    Then, stopping by several beautiful cities on my way to Uyuni in Bolivia.
    I remember that Cusco was a beautiful town, with orange roofs surrounded by huge mountains.
    Especially, the city lights made it much prettier at night.
    I thought I could watch this scenery from the hotel forever since it was breathtaking.
    Cusco is also the nearest big city to Machu Picchu, so I decided to book a Tour at Cusco's travel agency.
    But it turned out the agents didn't really understand English! I know we should have used other agency but the staff tried hard to understand my poor English and they seemed very nice,so I finally decided to buy the ticket from them.
    It was a precious experience for me to communicate with people who can't understand my language but we were able to communicate and make sure what we wanted to say with drawing and gestures.It took us 2 hours to settle the price and the details of the tour.
    It obviously was a lot of work but I will never forget this experience.
    During my backpack trip, I was almost about to take a wrong long distance bus, sleep outside and run out of budget for hotels, but every time I had troubles, someone helped me out.
    Going backpacking was thrilling and I had a lot of fun, but the best thing that I thought after I had gone backpacking is that I was able to feel a lot of kindness through this trip.

    Thank you for reading to the end!

    2. Mam nadzieję że SIĘ nie załamie (nie będzie sfrustrowany?-TAK)

    3. Ten kto spadnie zawsze na cztery łapy oznacza kogoś, kto zawsze sobie jakoś poradzi w życiu.
