People all over the world celebrate Valentine’s Day．However, the holiday  26 differently in different countries  27  each culture has its own Valentine’s Day customs．

    For example，people in the United States and Japan both celebrate Valentine’s Day  28February 14．But in Japan，only romantic partners come together,while in America，it can be shared by anyone  29  is close，friend or lover．Chocolate is the most preferred gift in the US  30  it is common in Japan，too．However,in the US other kinds of gifts are  3 1  given，and many people exchange cards．

    The biggest  32  is that in Japan，only girls and women．33  chocolates to boys and men，but in the US boys and girls will give cards or small gifts to all of  34  friends．And while American men and women both receive gifts，women usually get  35  expensive gifts than men．That’s why I would like to be a man in Japan but a woman in the US!

I am a person who can get angry   26 . But after  27 a passage from my English teacher, things have changed  28 . I am studying at a boarding school, so I have to learn  29  how to study well, but how to get on well with others. Some of us are  30  while others are quiet. So it is  31 that people have problems and arguments.

Smiling at others is the easiest way to stop argument. Another way is to think  32 your ideas are right before having an argument. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep and open  33 . Try to forgive（原谅）them. Having a friend is  34 better than having an enemy after all. Also,   35 point out others’ mistakes  36 . If you really want to help them, send a letter  37 . On the other hand, if someone points out your disadvantages, don’t  38 . Just think this is a person who really wants to help you and make friends  39 you. Remember: Forgiving makes life  40 .
