Language and culture go hand in hand. When you learn a new word, you learn a little about the people who use it. One useful word can change everything, it can make someone smile, help you feel closer or show you care. That’s how learning a language connects us.

In this day and age, I think a smartphone is becoming a must-have item. I came across an online report about the charging method which can reduce smartphone's lifespan. I would like to summarize and share some of the interesting points here. I've got everything on my smartphone. What would I do without it? I guess many people feels that way like me. Unfortunately, the price has been getting more expensive lately and more people might want to keep using their phones as long as possible. However, when it has been two years since you got the phone, the lifespan of its battery is getting shorter and shorter. The report said there are some behaviors to avoid when charging a smartphone. 1) Operating a smartphone while charging it. It makes its temperature higher and puts excessive strain on battery. 2) Charging a lot at a time. The battery can be damaged if you start charging after it is less than 20% remaining. So, you should start charging the battery before it is less than 25% remaining. 3) Keep charging a battery with full charge. You should stop charging it up to 90%. 4) Charging a battery under hot and humid circumstances. That can cause a battery to catch fire. Safety comes first and you never charge a battery in that kind of situation such as a bathroom and a sink. I don't think I can seem to buy a smartphone in the future because it is a bit pricey. So, I'll follow this instruction from now on.

The Stave Churches of Norway Norway’s stave churches are unique treasures of medieval wood architecture — the country’s most distinctive contribution to the world’s cultural heritage. Between 1130 and 1350, over a thousand were built; today, only 28 remain. The oldest and most famous, Urnes Stave Church in Luster, Vestland, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It represents the pinnacle of this building tradition, where Viking craftsmanship, Norse mythology, and Christian symbolism merge into one extraordinary wooden structure. The term stave refers to the vertical posts that carry the weight of the church. These stand on wooden sills resting on stone foundations, protecting the timber from decay. Roofs covered in wooden shingles and walls made from vertical planks give each church a distinct texture and scent of tar and time. There are two main types: the simple single-nave design and the more complex raised central nave type, best represented by Borgund Stave Church in Lærdal. After the Black Death and later modernization, most stave churches disappeared. The survivors endured largely thanks to their remote locations and later national efforts to preserve them. Today, Norway’s stave churches — from grand Heddal to tiny Grip — stand as enduring symbols of faith, artistry, and endurance. They are living witnesses to a thousand years of history, built of slow-grown pine and preserved with care and reverence.
