They can be divided into two categories based on the ordering of items: Sequences and Collections. Elements in sequences come out in the same order as it is inserted, however ordering in collections is not preserved. In this article, we will focus only on sequences. So, let’s get started. In Python programming, sequences are a generic term for an ordered set which means that the order in which we input the items will be the same when we access them. Python supports six different types of sequences. These are strings, lists, tuples, byte sequences, byte arrays, and range objects.

Why Do We Fall in Love with Someone?
from here
By The Editors
Updated on April 20, 2021
Here’s a question: Why do we feel an overwhelming emotion that makes us act like a complete fool?
People fall in love because they felt a connection or some sort of similarity; while some might say they felt somewhat comfortable being with a specific person.
While falling and being in love with someone makes us feel warm and fuzzy, it also has its downsides. If so, why do people still fall in love?

Modal verbs and its types
from here
Modal verbs or modal auxiliary verbs are a type of verbs that indicates modality,
i.e., likelihood, permission, ability and obligation.
Some of the common modal verbs are can, could, may, might and must. Let us understand them briefly.
Remember as a kid you asked your parents before going out to play,
“Can I go out to play?” Now, at your work place when you want to leave early, you have to ask for permission,
“Could I go home early today?”

What Your Dog is Trying to Tell You
Words may be important for humans to communicate, but dogs convey emotions through body language and sounds.
While your dog may seem to understand your words, especially if you've put in the effort to train them on simple commands such as sit, heel, and stay, you also need to work to understand and translate canine body language.
Canine:
relating to or resembling a dog or dogs.
heel:
the back part of the human foot below the ankle.
a command to a dog to walk close behind its owner.

2/8 Lifelong active duty (生涯現役)
I think that "lifelong active duty" means that one's purpose of life is useful to the world. I think it's more fun to have a job that you like and to be active even when you're old, and it will add value to society. I hope that all the people will grow into a society that has the idea of valuing their own lives. The image is drawn with a python turtle. Programming keeps you young. 「生涯現役」とは、自分の生きがいが世の中に役立っていることだと思います。 なにか自分の好きな仕事を持っていて、年老いても現役でいたほうが楽しいし、 社会にも付加価値が生まれると思います。 国民がみな、自分自身の人生を大切していく考えを持つ社会になるように成長していてほしいと思います。 画像はパイソンの亀で描いたものです。 プログラミングは若さを維持します。

2/7 “Self Help” by Samuel Smiles
Today, I studied the beginning of "Self-Help" written by an Englishman named Samuel Smiles, which was loved during the Meiji Restoration. In Japan, it is translated as "自助論". "Heaven helps those who help themselves. The spirit of self-help is the foundation for human beings to achieve true growth. If the spirit of self-help is rooted in the lives of many people, it is a vibrant and strong nation. External assistance weakens human beings. It is the spirit of trying to help oneself that encourages and encourages human beings forever. " 「天は自ら助くる者を助く。自助 の精神は、人間が真の成長を遂げるための 礎いしずえ である。自助の精神が多くの人々の生活に根 づくなら、それは活力にあふれた強い国家を築く原動力ともなるだろう。外部からの援助 は人間を弱くする。自分で自分を助けようとする精神こそ、その人間をいつまでも励まし 元気づける」。
2/6 先行詞を含んだ関係代名詞 what

Will you please tell me what you know about him? 彼について知っていること教えてもらえる？ What she saw there was surprising. What they did was right. What we didn’t expect happened. What you have to do is to study every day. What your parents want to do is to write to them more often. What that politician says is different from what he does. Select what you need for the job. 仕事に必要な物なら何でも選びなさい。 What I told you was my honest opinion. 私があなたに言ったことは私の正直な意見です。

With the thread on the top of your head, you stand as if you were hanging from the ceiling. 5. Focus on the lower abdomen. If you have a good posture, there is nothing to worry about.

I studied gerunds today.
A gerund acts as a noun. Like the noun usage of the infinitive, it is the subject, object, and complement. Let's review with same sentences. Traveling abroad is his hobby. He likes traveling abroad. His hobby is traveling abroad. She likes playing the piano. Will you stop smoking? When did you begin collecting stamps? Learning foreign languages is a lot of fun for me. Driving a car is sometimes boring. She is good at speaking English. His hobby is collecting rare butterflies. Is his job teaching Japanese to foreigners? Why is learning English important? What musical instrument do you like playing?
