Here's my essay about the beautiful landscape of Shapa Bay. Can anyone help me to polish it or point some mistakes? In Shapa Bay (Bay of Sand) the nocturnal canvas painted an altogether different masterpiece, one where the boundaries between sky and sea blurred into a seamless, impenetrable blackness. The night there was far from placid; Khanun, the super tropical cyclone, lent a tempestuous fervour to the bay. Thick, brooding clouds amassed, cloaking the stars and moon in obscurity so profound that even their feeble attempts at luminance were quashed. Lightning streaked across the inky expanse, a desperate incision through the oppressive black veil, yet the darkness, ever voracious, swiftly swallowed each defiant flash. The firmament above and the Earth below dulled once more, save for the sparse, crimson starlight strewn along the coastline—clusters of terrestrial rubies scattered like a celestial Milky Way. It was only later that I discovered these were not falling stars but the flickering lights of pinwheels in a distant field of sea-bound windmills. That night was a libertine, and the sea played accomplice to the relentless darkness, its thunderous roars echoing a wild exuberance. Wave upon wave surged toward the shore, a relentless tug at the torch-bearing figures on land, beckoning them into its embrace. Then, a marvel unfurled: stars seemed to rise from the very earth, first one, then two, then a constellation of them. Those on the shore had not succumbed to the obsidian abyss but had ignited Kongming Lanterns (Sky Lanterns), each one a beacon of hope. The earth, now luminous, met the sky, and for a suspended moment, the roles reversed. It was as though the deities themselves, from their celestial perch, beheld a tapestry of earthly stars, each one a testament to human resolve. The gods, in that instance, cast their gaze upon the shimmering constellations below, and heaven and earth merged in a symphony of terrestrial wonder.

To change a job worked for me. Although this is not a solution for everyone, you often get significantly higher salary and better benefits, if you change your job. On the other hand, it is sad, that people often need to change their company, or job to have better life in financial aspect, instead of getting pay rises and/or promotions from companies they work for. Of course it is not easy to change your job. It can take some time to get hired somewhere else, for me it was seven months from my first application to the application that actually was successful. I was picky with jobs, so I did not send many applications, though. Precisely, I send about fifteen applications, got four interviews and only two companies invited me to the next round. I thing that the fact, I was already employed was part of a problem, as we have two-months notice in the Czech Republic, and companies preferred candidates who were able to start in two or three weeks. Also, the new beginning is not easy. Many people, me including, feel stupid and foolish, when starting a new job. It is normal, as you need to familiarise yourself with your new tasks, colleagues, companies policies and many other things, which can take some time. For me it was even worse, as my boss and colleague work from Slovakia, so my introduction training was fully online. I even happened to argue with my boss during the probation period as he did not like my using of flexible working hours. He wanted me to work eight hours every day, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., but based on my contract, I am allowed to work from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and rest is on me, if my monthly average is eight hours a day and I meet deadlines of my tasks. We had had several disagreements about this point, and I ended up asking him what I was disciplinated for. Luckily, I managed it and we are both happy with this system now. They do not have this system in Slovakia and he was suspicious about that, but realised that this benefit works well.
