Today’s story きょうの あらすじ

The other day, while I was organizing my computer, I came across a blog I used to write a long time ago. I thought I didn't need it anymore, but before deleting it I tried opening it, and it surprised me. All my records from when I started studying English around 2009 were still there. There were lots of records: how I put my smartphone in a Ziploc bag and listened over and over in the bath, and how I changed all my phone's screen settings to English so that everything I saw was in English. There were more than 550 posts. At the time, I was just writing the blog without thinking about anything, but looking back now, I realized that keeping a record of each day is important.
