It's a cheesy date but giving valentines to family and friends, as they do in the US, makes it nicer!
The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately 190 million valentines are sent each year in the US. Half of those valentines are given to family members other than husband or wife, usually to children. When you include the valentine-exchange cards made in school activities the figure goes up to 1 billion! Would you like to listen and read the transcript of the activity that we were doing in class?
