[noriko]

I'm believing in that there are so many interactive English stans. So do I.😊🌻 I'm so glad that I've been jumping on the interactive English wagon since last year. I was hesitating to learn Advanced English but I'm glad that I went for it. Now, I've been enjoying to watch my favorite Tv drama "criminal minds" and reading books of Agatha Christie in English .Thanks a lot, Wes✨
