  1. Saint valentines day is a comercial day because It is a business strategy to get people to buy more things and so big companies make a lot of money
    Also in Spain it is known that this day was introduced by Galerias Preciados

  2. I do not like the Valentine's Day why in my opinion is nothing more than a commercial day only looks the business in the sale of flowers, boxes of chocolates and other details with the excuse to show love for another person who should demonstrate every day of the year, not just the 14 February.

  3. I like Saint Valentine's Day because is the day of love and I think that something like this must be celebrated.
    But though in our country it's not a custom celebrate Saint Valentine's Day, in my opinion each year there are more people who does something with their couples on 14th of February, especially young people.
    But for sure in other places like America Saint Valentine's day is more exciting and showy day than in Spain or at least that it seems the films.
    For my this day is not a commercial day because I think that everyone loves celebrate this day with the person who each one loves having dinner, doing a trip, giving flowers or chocolates, sending a text message... But probably for the people that are single this day is only one more day like all the others or maybe worst. And also for the florists and other merchants that sell Saint Valentine's products this day probably is a commercial day.

    San Valentine`s day is 14th of february and is a day on which lovers express their love and mutual affection.
    I personally don`t like that day because i think you have to prove every day if you love or not to someone and not give him something you will want to more or less because you can also get something for your partner any given day.

  5. In my opinion Saint Valentine´s Day is a comercial day, because all the couple must buy a present for their partner to demonstrate their love. The typical presents in Saint Valentine’s Day are some chocolates and flowers, so cake shop and flower shop make a lot of money. But I think that the love can be shown in different ways without spending money.

  6. I like Saint Valentine´s day.
    The Saint Valentine´s day is very romantic, because the people are in love and they will have dinner with their boyfriends or husbands.
    But it is also a shopping day because the shops and restaurants they earn more money and prices rise. The people buy more gifts and flowers.

    In my opinion Saint Valentine's day is a romantic day because people show your partner loves, and normaly people give any special things.
    But this day also is a commercial day because the shops raise prices of things, for example, the florists put the most expensive flowers and the price of clothes also is most expensive.

    I love Valentine’s day because I think it is one of the most romantic days of the year . I also think it’s a shopping day because couples go to shops to buy a gift for your loved one, but it is a very special day because people , whether friends or boyfriends show their love in the best way they can in Saint Valentine's Day

  10. In my opinion the Valentine’s Day is a commercial day , because people really want someone not wait for a special day to prove it prove it every day to support the person you want and helping at all. The Valentine’s Day day okay to celebrate it with the person you love but I think half the people this day buying gifts to your partner proves nothing the rest of the year and why these people have to wait the valentine’s day , for the rest of days not out to show their love to their partner.

  11. In my opinion the Valentine’s Day is a normal day. People may feel butterflies in their stomachs every day of because love is demonstrated every day and not just on February 14, love is something that It shows every day. I think that valentine’s day is a business day, things are given away, go on romantic trips, also write letters if we add advertising and incitement of companies to that day, the decoration of shops etc. Well, my reflection is (who loves you she proves) .The valentines day is a business day
