Readers’ Corner: Letters are Important
The other day, I was cleaning my room, and I found some letters that a friend gave me when I was in kindergarten．At that time, we didn’t have smartphones, so exchanging letters was popular among children．The letters were written all in the hiragana that we had just learned. That made me feel nostalgic．On my birthday, my friend put my favorite stickers on a letter for me．I remember being very happy．Social media is convenient, but I think heartfelt letters are wonderful, too．If I have the chance, I would like to exchange letters again. I think it would be fun even as an adult． (115 words) Jaremaga now comes out online on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
