The musical sounds of English are important.  Some languages do not have this.  Stress and intonation are important when you speak.  You can copy this by listening to native speakers. Here are some suggestions.

我们每个人都有自己的姓。姓是标志家族系统的称号，姓也成为一种中国传统文化和历史传承。在中国古代很多部落根据自己的地理位置或者职业等，创造了自己的姓。姓也成为一种中国传统文化和历史的传承。在日常生活中，为了表示尊敬，人们对于初识的人常常会问“您贵姓？”。一般人们都会回答“免贵姓.⋯⋯”。
Everyone has their own surname, which connects them to their ancestors and represents the continuation of the family lineage. In ancient China, surnames already came into existence. Many tribes created their own surnames according to their geographical locations or occupations. And thus their surnames became the carrier of traditional Chinese culture and history. In everyday life today, Chinese people also pay a lot of attention to surnames. For example, in order to show respect when meeting someone for the first time, people often say 您贵姓? (what's your honourable surname?). Usually people will respond with 免贵姓…… (My name is.., without nobility).

２０２４年のノーベル平和賞は日本被団協が受賞しました。とても嬉しく思います。

  かれこれ３０年近く前。中学生の時に先生たちが企画をしてくれて、私達の代だけ修学旅行で広島に行きました。当時はたくさんの語り部さんがいたので、１対１でお話を聞くチャンスもあり、貴重な体験をさせていただきました。生々しい体験を真剣に話してくださったのが印象的でした。

さて、このサムネイルの写真は我が家で育てている被爆アオギリ２世です。２０１３年に公開された『アオギリにたくして』という映画を思い出して写真を撮りました。

アオギリの木は、原爆投下場所からわずか１.３キロメートルにあり、被爆しながらも懸命に育ちました。この映画の主人公の女性は、原爆で左足を失いながらも、アオギリの生命力に励まされて懸命に生き、長い間平和活動家をされました。そして、このアオギリの木は１９７３年に広島平和記念公園に植えられました。

  映画館の売店コーナーに行くと、この被爆したアオギリの種が売られていたので、家で育てることにしたのです。それから、我が家の平和のシンボルとして大切に育てています！

平和のシンボル：被爆アオギリ２世

The Harvard study on happiness, known as "The Good Life," began in 1939 and followed a group of 724 men throughout their lives to explore what factors contribute to a happy and satisfying life. The study found that close and fulfilling relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, resilience, and gratitude were all important factors for a happy life.

In contrast, the "other" happiness that is promoted through consumerism and social media popularity can have negative consequences on individuals' mental and emotional health. The constant pursuit of material goods and a perfect image on social media can lead to stress, anxiety, and a sense of inadequacy. The true happiness comes from satisfying interpersonal relationships, physical and mental health, and meaningful activities that give us a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
