    private float avg;
    private ArrayList<String> date;
        ... and so on
}

Answer 1

If you want to use Serializable, you should have no problems, because ArrayList is Serializable just as String and every primitive type. public class Keyword implements Serializable {} should do. You can read more about this method here. However there are a lot of other options for serialization. So please be more specific.
