QUESTION 5

It was very good for me to post on my blog because blogging makes progress with my English and typing skill. Blogging also helps me to tell my friends some daily events, news, or my thoughts. I enjoyed seeing some comments which my friends wrote and posting some comments on my friends' blogs. When my friend who is an American and lives in America saw and commented on my blog, I was surprised and very happy.
In this semester, I tried to post with pictures as many as I can. I can tell the things easily by posting with pictures. I think that people who see my blog can enjoy seeing with them.
I want to develop my English and typing skill, so I'll continue blogging in future.

Saint Valentine's Day

Saint Valentine's Day is coming soon!
In Japan, on Saint Valentine's Day, many women give some chocolates to someone who is a boyfriend, a senior, or any other man. These days, some women who have no boyfriend can enjoy Saint Valentine's Day. They make or buy a chocolate and give it to their friends. It is called tomo-choco. But it makes me more lonely, I think....
I have no boyfriend now, so I'm gonna give a chocolate to my father♪
