What’s your favourite here? And how many of these dishes have you tried? 🤔🤔🤔

I love crochet. Do you also enjoy this relaxing craft? I am currently making decorations to give to my friends for their Christmas trees. I hope they like what I'm making. I'm not very experienced and only started crocheting about 3 years ago. Let me know what you think?

Yesterday, I went out to eat with Taiwanese and Chinese students.🇹🇼🇨🇳Professor Shimada introduced them to me. I am thinking about going to Tamkang University in Taiwan for a language training program during spring vacation. One of the students was from Tamkang University, so we talked a lot about delicious food and school life in Taiwan‼︎ I was surprised to hear that my favorite bubble milk tea costs only about 300 yen in Taiwan.🧋It is much cheaper than in Japan‼︎ I really want to go to Taiwan soon and enjoy many new experiences. I also noticed that the intonation is different between Taiwan and China. I realized that this is similar to Japan, where people speak different intonations depending on the region. I thought this was an interesting similarity between our countries.🫢The Chinese boy was a first-year student at Kanagawa University. He has been going to school in Japan since junior high school. I thought it was amazing that he could speak two languages and switch between them naturally during our conversation‼︎

Smoking cigarettes brings many serious disadvantages to your personal health, your financial budget, and your daily social life. First of all, tobacco products contain thousands of toxic chemicals that damage your lungs and heart, greatly increasing the dangerous risk of deadly illnesses like lung cancer, stroke, and chronic heart failure. Second, smoking is an incredibly expensive habit to maintain; buying packs of cigarettes every week costs a massive amount of money that could otherwise be saved for your future or spent on essential things. Third, it causes unpleasant physical appearance problems, such as turning your teeth yellow, causing bad breath, and making your clothes, skin, and hair smell terrible. Finally, secondhand smoke seriously hurts the innocent people around you, especially your beloved family, children, and friends, by forcing them to breathe in harmful air. In addition, many modern public areas completely ban smoking today. In conclusion, smoking negatively affects every single part of your life, making it a very bad choice for everyone.

The Great Languages Challenge can be completed during a planned lesson or also set as a language-themed homework task

Yesterday, I went to a cafe with my friend from my part-time job after school. I had not seen her for about four months, so we had a lot of things to talk about. We ate pancakes at the cafe. We talked about what we did during summer vacation and what we have been doing recently. We also talked about school, our part-time jobs, and our daily lives. It was nice to see her again after such a long time. I hope we can go to a cafe together again soon. By the way, I have a lot of assignments recently, so I feel very tired. I have a presentation tomorrow, so I have to finish making my slides today. I need to check the slides and prepare what I will say during the presentation. Also, I have three reports to write. I am worried because I have so much work to do. I feel like I will not have enough time to sleep every day. I want to finish all my assignments as soon as possible so I can relax. University life has been very busy lately!

Today is October 22. It’s cloudy and a little chilly. The temperature has been all over the place lately, so it’s hard to decide what to wear. My first class was canceled today. Since it’s kind of tough to get up for the first class, I was actually a little happy it was canceled. I have my first class tomorrow, so I’m going to try my best to get up on time. I’m heading to my part-time job at an Italian restaurant now, and I’m feeling a little sluggish, but I’ll do my best. The reason is that the staff meal after work is really delicious. If I keep that in mind, I’ll be able to power through. I think there’s a lot to learn today, too, so I’m going to do my best.

It is hard to believe that October is almost over, yet we are still experiencing some surprisingly hot days this year. Usually, this time of the year brings a refreshing autumn breeze and cooler temperatures, but the current weather feels more like an extended summer. In fact, I am quite astonished to see many people walking around in short sleeves, even though the calendar says it is already late October. It creates a strange and confusing atmosphere when the autumn leaves are supposed to fall, but the temperature demands summer clothing. Personally, I have never been a big fan of hot weather because it makes me feel uncomfortable and sluggish. I much prefer the crisp, cool air of late autumn and the cozy feeling of winter. Because of this, I sincerely hope that the temperature drops very soon and the refreshing, cool autumn weather finally arrives to stay.
