Where does it belong to?
The sentence is "China's foreign direct investment rose 3.3 percent year-on-year to 701.16 billion yuan in the January-October period".
I can not figure out to where the "foreign direct investment" belongs .
Does it mean China's investment in abroad countries or foreign countries' investment in China?
Someone please help me and if possible, give a method to distinguish such kinds of example.

A Trick of Self-teaching
I invented an idea to help choose a topic for writing something, when you really can not come up with your short essay' contents.
The idea is picking up 10 words or phrases from your vocabulary randomly, and blending these stuffs together to compose a complete short eassy. You can set any scenarios in it. It's certainly not my invention but a common method used more often by teachers, considering I don't have a teacher, I probably would call this method Self-teaching.
The following is today's trick.
When Donald Trump was peddling his election campaign, a deadly wildfire erupted in California and Trump didn't notice the acute extent. Peoples in California were dying continuously. A charity of retired clergy made up stood out and criticized: "California is a Democratic-led state, though it shouldn't be reason that Trump omit the fact of California is being overrun. How Trump has the heart to let peoples suffer from this inferno at any rate."
A confidant of Trump told this to him, and Trump compromised with the critics and declared a major disaster for California with saying "I am not conserving our financial money, a massive rescue operation will not be exorbitant , and the painting of people fighting with the disaster will become monumental souvenir in galleries all over the state."

A report abou Chinese delicacies
Today I noticed a news report about a type of Chinese delicacies, the original article is ' China's restaurant chain serving Shaxian County cuisine has opened its first eatery in the United States in October but closed three hours after it was officially opened to the public as all the dishes on the menu were sold out.'
First, I was shocked by American people's crazy passion on Chinese delicacies. They are delicious indeed, but they couldn't reach as such an extent of being sold out in merely a small 3 hours, that's really surprising. I guess the boss now must be in a highly good mood after that.
Second, in addition to the reason of it's attribute of flavour, peoples' curiosity is also an important contributor to the '3 hours sold out' success.
Third, success is always not easy as you see superficially. The team must have worked through a lot of pivots required , and prepared a considerable various of ingredients in order to ensure that non unexpected things would happen. So we must admire their efforts.
Finally, China has a great deal of kinds of delicacies, and not all of them can obtain such a success as ShaXian country cuisine. I think the most crucial problem is that the others don't have enough standardization, and they are too more of fragmentation. If any one of these kinds want to gain a great developing, it would need a deep and across the board reform.

A question about one wordsmith's tense.
get, got, gotten are separately the present, past, past participle form of 'get'.
However, I have found a weird usage several times that a 'have' is followed by a 'got' as the past participle form in dictionary. For example:
He's got no right to keep dumping his problems on me.
You've got three years' worth of research money to do what you want with.
Is this 'got' past participle a correct using?

Tex, a consistent class cowpoke, went to ride a brown horse constantly, then riding at a constant speed in the continuous vast cattle ranch, swinging his whip continually and shouting the cattles continuously. The cattles formed a continuous line under his continual driving and whipping.
Do you think it's correct?

A Small Trick about Four Synonyms
I have to admit that synonyms are really difficult distinct from each other. There were four words I had encountered recently which would be my daily obstacles.
The synonyms are "consistent, constant, continuous, continual", they bothered me in some extent. In order to identify them and qualify myself to have a clear recognition, I will make some sentences below about them.
Tex, a consistent class cowpoke, went to ride a brown horse constantly, then riding at a constant speed in the continuous vast cattle ranch, swinging his whip continually and shouting the cattles continuously. The cattles formed a continuous line under his continual driving and whipping.
Do you think they are used in a right way?

A SMART Method for Learning Something
Over the last few days, I have heard a method for learning which called SMART. That's the abbreviation of five words,
S=Specific、M=Measurable、A=Achievable、R=Relevant、T=Time-bound. I think the method is very practical, and I drawed a plan according to rules of SMART.
Several days after, I found the hardest clause was the last principle “Time-bound”. I was a little disappointed by myself but I knew the reason, because I am not a student at school and I have a lot of other things to do both in office and home despite my learning still go on. So I balanced my mind and implemented my plan forward.
Deadline may be postponed, Plan will be executed.

Attention, An Extraordinary Issue Refers to Translators' Job
As time goes by, technology develops very fast in many areas. Up to now, the most popular technology is artificial intelligence, which can accomplish a lot of works quite good.
For example, in the intelligent translation territory some applications are able to identify what one is speaking , and translate that speech into either the speaker's language or the listener's language. There also developed some solid products that can do the translator's job based on the intelligent technology in the world. Not 100 percent accurate are these tools, but they make few mistake virtually,and they can help you understand the conversation between two persons who come from different language speaking area.
Great invention it is, no matter you are willing to admit or not, artificial intelligence has entered our lives ineluctably. The world has changed and would be changing consistently.
So, the fact is that translators's job might be replaced by the artificial intelligent translation, and we also don't have to study hard for gaining the ability of a second language, since the artificial intelligence is so good and the relative products are convenient.
What do you think about this? Write your comments and let me know more circumstances.
