I never sort waste at home. The reason is very simple, because we sort them outside . The only thing I need to do is to take all the waste to the trash bins outside of my apartment and sort them there. We usually have four kinds of trash bins near our apartments. There are big containers in different colors for different waste. Green ones are for food waste,blue ones are for recyclable things, red ones are for hazardous waste, gray ones are for residual waste which can't classified into above three categories. But for some people, it's not easy to distinguish these bins. They are usually in a hurry, and put their trash into the wrong trash bins. In that case, the governments need to hire more workers to sort them before taking then away. So, children are taught to sort waste at a very little age. Adults are also taught to try their best to sort their waste well. Overall, sorting waste is a great thing for environment. Everyone should learn how to sort waste and do it best.

The beautiful scenery from my hometown 🥰

Hello dear native English speakers. The phenomenon of travelled or perched blocks is also a common one in all glacier countries.(original) From the original, I guess: ①. the "travelled or perched blocks" is a noun phrase with the same meaning as " the people who reside and perch during their travelling or perching. ② the blocks here refers to people who travel or perch reside.

a musician played and sang Jiang Kui's "first song of middle Prelude of rainbow skirt" for me yesterday. It was the first time I had heard that song played on the guitar and found it was unbearably sad. I think Jiang Kui would have been surprised and delighted that a musician, nearly a thousand years after his time, played this timeless melody. Even though he doesn’t understand it because of the cultural difference, just like I don’t understand western poetry. "I think back to my youth wandering, mountains and passes to the sound of the flute, the entertainment house under the Willows." When I was was young, I heard someone playing Jiang Kui's melody. Perhaps only people who move frequently can understand Jiang Kui’s wandering life experience and frustrations he laments, during his mid and later life. I need to move again tomorrow because the landlord wants to remodel. tonight was my last night to live here. I wonder how many more the last nights I am likely to bear.

Diary-20250303 Today is the first day of this semester. Thankfully, I don't need to teach any course this spring, so it's a good opportunity for me to seize the day and get back to my research. I actually focus on my work this morning. A cup of coffee cheered me up so that I could focus on reading papers. After having lunch at the canteen on campus, I went back home and continued working. Things changed after watching a TED Talk. The speaker was so engaging that that I couldn't help practicing shadow reading. Once again, I fell into the trap of obsessing over improving my English skills, especially speaking. This time, with the help of Deepseek, I developed a plan to improve pronounciation and fluency. That's why I'm here, writing this stream-of-consciousness diary to seek assistance.
