Hi JV, I really like your post about a man killed near Queenstown (which is not a good thing to hear about). I also like how you wrote a brief and detailed answer towards your question. Also, it's awesome how you wrote an article brief, which helps the reader what the article is about. Next time, you should include where you got your information from, like a link, and also cite where you got the image from, also with a link. But overall, it was nice reading your blog post.
