The way Chinese ask about age

غَالِبًا السوشال ميديا بْتِعْرِض أَشْيَاء مْفَلْتَرَة مِن الحَيَاة, لأنو الناس بِيشَارْكُوا الأَحْدَاث المُهِمِّة بَس.
وهَاد الشِي بْيِعْكِس صُورَة مِثَالِيِّة لحَيَاة بَعْض النَاس اللي هي عَكْس الصُورَة الحَقِيقِية.
بَس كَمَان هَالشِي بِسَبِّب ضَغْط عَالِي على هَدُول الأَشْخَاص لأنو لازم يِطْلَعُوا دَائِمًا بِصُورَة مِثَالِيِّة.
بِالمُقَابِل, فِي أَشْخَاص تَانِيين بِيقَارْنُوا حَيَاتْهُم مَع حَيَاة هَدُول الأَشْخَاص. 
بَس لِلْأَسَف هَي المُقَارَنِة ممكن تْأَدِّي للشُعُور بِالإِكْتِئَاب.
لازم نِتْزَكَّر دَائِمًا إِنُّو الأشياء اللي مِنْشُوفْهَا على السوشال ميديا ما بِتْكُون الصُورَة الكَامْلِة, وكِل إِنْسَان عِنْدُو مَشَاكِل بِالحَيَاة والحَيَاة المَثَالِيِّة مَا مَوجُودِة!
Mostly social media shows filtered things from life, because people share only the important events.
And this reflects a perfect image of the life of some people which is the opposite of the real image.
But also this thing causes high pressure on these people because they always have to appear in a perfect image.
In contrast, there are other people who compare their life with the life of those people.
But unfortunately, this comparison can lead to the feeling of depression.
We should always remember that the things that we see on social media are not the full picture, and every human has problems in life, and the perfect life does not exist.

 De empanadas y sancocho: La comida colombiana también habla.

“It’s sad to say, but there have been too many times I’ve seen terrible examples of plastic waste. The one time that really sticks in my mind was about 2 months ago when I visited a very famous and beautiful lake, just a stone's throw from my hometown. The whole area is famous for its natural beauty and scenery, and has become a very popular place for tourists to visit.




I went there with a couple of my friends, as we thought it would be the perfect place to enjoy some of the wonderful natural scenery the country has to offer.




I can still clearly remember as we took a path down to the lake, there were plastic bottles and bags tossed everywhere all the way down to the shore of the lake. The lake itself was in an even worse state, with plastic bags, bottles and discarded styrofoam boxes floating on the water, which was a pretty depressing sight. 




It was obvious that so many ignorant visitors to the lake bring along some food or drinks to have a picnic, leaving their waste behind, or just tossing it into the lake without a thought about the harm they are doing.




I was so disgusted and ashamed by the sight that we took lots of photos to post on some public social media groups, and try to bring some attention to this environmental mess. It was truly heartbreaking to see such a beautiful place destroyed by people's ignorance, as well as making my blood boil, that nobody seemed to care.

Eu sou pequeno, me dizem,
e eu fico muito zangado. 😠
Tenho de olhar todo mundo
com o queixo levantado.

Mas, se formiga falasse 🐜
e me visse lá do chão,
ia dizer, com certeza:
— Minha nossa, que grandão!
