- Written Exercise 166 – A CLUSTER OF ELEPHANTS APPEARED IN A TOWN OF YUNNAN, CHINA It was reported that a group of Asian elephants had wandered into the streets of a town called Eshan in Yunnan, China around 8 pm on May 28th. Where did the wild animals come from? According to the news from the propaganda department in Yunnan province, in the middle of the day on April, 17 elephants originally inhabiting Xishuangbanna National Natural Reserve started migrating from Pu'er city, Moijang county to Yuxi city, Yuanjiang county. Two of them returned to Pu'er city on April 24th and the remaining elephants kept migrating towards the north. They went through villages and farmlands, and passed through highways. Wherever they went, they left behind a trail of destroyed crops. During 40 days of migration, they caused 412 incidents and 139 acres of the crops had been destroyed. The preliminary estimate for the cost of damages was around RMB 6.8M/6.8 million ( six million eight hundred thousand), as the authorities said. There was an interesting story about the elephants. A little one got drunk and lagged behind the groups due to eating about 100kg of vinasses (do you mean sugarcane?) at 11am on May 25th, but it finally caught up with the rest in the evening.0 votedMay 29, 20212
- ¡Welcome to Venezuela! It is a country where people dance a style called “JOROPO”. women wear a short floral skirt, a short white blouse and flats called “alpargatas”. Men wear the typical “LIQUI LIQUI”, which is a pair of khaki pants and a round neck shirt with 3/4 sleeves. oh! almost forgot that women put a nice flower in their hair ("on the head" means wearing on top like a hat) and men wear a hat. I hope to receive your suggestions/corrections! (OR: I'm looking forward to your suggestions/corrections)0 votedMay 28, 20211
- I think the best food for the brain is fish. First, fish is good for your health, unlike meat. Doctors always suggest to try to stay away from pork and red meat, since it is bad for the blood pressure and so on. Second, according to our (culture's) traditional beliefs, fresh(?) fish is much better for our brain. Although I have no idea why, this principal has been said in our life for such a long time it is probably correct.0 votedMay 28, 20210
- 2021/5/28 I joined a certain committee last year, and yesterday, the person who took care of me at that time sent me a message. She was wondering whether this year's committee meeting(?) should be held face to face or online, and asked our opinion. It is a difficult problem. It is better to hold it face to face, but maybe it's too difficult (because of covid). what would you do in this situation…？0 votedMay 28, 20210
- Could anyone make it more native and more poetic. It would be better if you know Chinese well. They say In the forest I'll see deer, In the sea I'll see whales, When I wake, I'll see you. For me, The forest is shrouded in fog, The sea surges with waves, When I wake, it's still night. No deer, no whales, no you. Eventually, The deer walk through the fog, The whales rise through the waves, But you never came back. Looks like it was only me, My every word about you, But your every sentence without me. 有人说，林深时见鹿，海蓝时见鲸，梦醒时见你。可我，林深时雾起，海深时浪涌，梦醒时夜续，不见鹿，不见鲸，也不见你。但终究，鹿踏雾而来，鲸随浪而涌，你却没有回头。就像我，字字皆你，而你却，句句无我。0 votedMay 27, 20210
- I dabbled in writing an essay about whether the internet should be free from censorship. The topic is from the Japan Times Alpha, May 14, 2021 edition, and is to practice for the STEP Eiken 1st grade speaking test. Topic Should the internet be free from censorship ? My answer ; I write a pro-freedom (OR: anti-censorship) opinion today. In February 2021, there was news about a country where democratic leaders were ousted and the junta began censoring the internet in order to keep online communication between protesters in check. The junta argue that this (measure) is for the sake of the national safety. But I'm against it. The internet reduces the need for paper-based media which helps to prevent deforestation. Also, it gives us more chances to provide access to information or e-books to people living in rural areas or far from libraries. We are all guaranteed a right to knowledge, which should be ensured wherever we live. Moreover, people appreciate it more as an educational tool in a situation like the Covid-19 lockdown(s). Online message boards are also more widely used in the case of a massive disaster such as the 3.11 Tohoku Kanto Great Earthquake. It helps to keep more phone lines open for emergency calls. I believe our basic needs and safety are safeguarded in our everyday life if we have access to it freely without censorship. Therefore the internet should be free from censorship.0 votedMay 26, 20210
