(^^) I think this is interesting! Though if you want another idea on what to write about.. Cars, History, Music.. Anything that might spark your interest. You could also write what you did during the day.. There are many things, but the important thing is that you are interested in what you write! That way you will learn more easily!

KenさんとKazenさん、
As an Italian/American living in the US.. I can honestly tell you that it has been on the news, and on multiple headlines. (^^) I think we are being informed more than in the past. Unfortunately most of the people I know, don't know what to think about it. I have empathy for both sides. I just hope that a happy medium is found. (^^)

不思議な光さんへ、

Oh, I'm glad! It may not be as important as wars being fought elsewhere in the world but it still has the potential to affect a lot of people. It's great to hear that the issue is gaining traction.
