I was watching the podcast of Vivian Tu, when I noticed some remarks on the comment section are saying that she is very masculine. I believe that many women in business had to toughen up a bit and become more like men so that they can succeed. For somehow, who  is also trying her luck in business, I felt like my character is becoming more of a man and I am losing my feminine side because I can't even cry anymore.

지난 주말에 친구와 함께 공원에 갔습니다. 날씨가 아주 맑고 따뜻해서 사람들이 많았습니다. 우리는 먼저 편의점에 들러서 음료수와 과자를 샀습니다. 그리고 공원 벤치에 앉아서 이야기를 나누었습니다.

친구는 요즘 회사 일이 바쁘다고 했습니다. 그래서 스트레스를 많이 받는다고 했습니다. 저는 친구에게 운동을 추천했습니다. 운동을 하면 스트레스가 줄어들고 몸도 건강해진다고 말했습니다.

이야기를 나눈 후, 우리는 공원 안에 있는 산책로를 걸었습니다. 걷는 동안 꽃이 많이 피어 있어서 사진도 찍었습니다. 특히 노란 개나리가 예뻤습니다. 또, 자전거를 타는 사람들과 강아지를 산책시키는 사람들도 많았습니다.

공원 구경을 마친 후, 근처에 있는 맛집에 가서 점심을 먹었습니다. 우리는 김치찌개와 불고기를 주문했습니다. 음식이 정말 맛있었고, 양도 많았습니다. 친구도 만족해했습니다.

이렇게 즐거운 주말을 보내고 나니 기분이 아주 좋았습니다. 다음 주말에도 날씨가 좋으면 다른 공원에 가고 싶습니다.

No Hay Tos

5 Usos del Artículo Definido en Español (Que No Existen en Inglés)

You just got into bed after a long day, and you're exhausted. You plan to spend a few minutes on your phone — maybe scrolling Instagram or TikTok — and then sleep.

But when you try to sleep, it's not as easy as you thought it would be. You were so tired — what happened?

According to a new study, your phone may be the problem.

The study, done by researchers at New Zealand's University of Otago, involved 85 kids aged 11 to 14. They each spent a week wearing a body camera on their chest starting from three hours before they got into bed.

A second camera was also placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use once they were in bed. They also wore a device that tracked their sleep.

The researchers found that 99% of the participants used their phones in the two hours before bed. More than half used their phones while they were in bed, and about a third used their phones after trying to go to sleep.

The results showed that screen time in bed affected participants' sleep — it stopped them from going to sleep for about half an hour, and also reduced the amount of sleep they got.

The impact was larger when participants had a more interactive experience — such as playing a game — or if they used more than one screen. For every additional 10 minutes of this type of screen time, sleep time was reduced by the same amount.

Interestingly, phone use in the two hours before bed had little impact on sleep.

According to lead researcher Bradley Brosnan, the results suggest that, while current guidelines recommend no screen time in the hour or two before bed, keeping phones out of the bedroom might be enough for a better night's sleep.
