////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''四月'' on this time.

12 months constitute one year.
We express them with numbers from 1 to 12.
It is very easy.

四月 ( April ).
It is the month of the change in Japan.

Most schools start a new program in April.
The climate becomes warm, a new feeling springs out.


I introduce ''五月'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
