He is very kind, but he isn’t popular with girls, so we talked about love. Another is a girl, and we enjoyed going shopping. We had lunch at a café, and we talked about own college, friends, part time jobs, and so on. I was glad to hear their interesting stories. I had very good times with them!

       In March 7^th, my little sister took examinations of high school, but I had no plans in the day. When I got up late in the morning, I got an e-mail from a fellow worker in my part time job, and I was invited to karaoke. I changed my clothes, and went to karaoke-box. We sang for about four hours. After the very pleasant time, I had to work at cram school as a part time job. When I finished to work, I was so tired, but I had a full day!
