The experience of writing in a blog is new for me, because I am not very modern and I never had done one. Actually, I don’t like to surf on internet or use things such things as facebook, or fotolog, and blogs. Actually, if this class didn’t require to write in a blog, I had never written in one. Sometimes I enjoy writing in my blog, especially when we started English course, because it was interesting to write in English for the first time, but later it was impossible to enjoy it, because the activities were very difficult (like this one), it also used a lot of my time and the blog ended up turning into a fatigue.
Wherever, if I am sincere, I think that the blog helped me to improve my English, because I felt obliged to develop the ability of thinking in English and being able to write the things that were in my mind and risk me… My opinion about the advantages of blogging in English class, is that you can practice your vocabulary, your knowledge about English Grammar and your creativity, because sometimes is very important to be creative to speak about different topics, especially if you didn’t invent it.
Some disadvantages are that if you don’t like blogs, it will be very difficult to write plentifully and in an easy manner. As well, the fact that the blog is graded is very stressful, and If you never have practiced in your language for your life, it will be more difficult to begin to write in English in your blog. I also don´t think that some assignments are right for our English level, some people like me don´t really manage the language that well to write random staff in a blog so it is sometimes uncomfortable for me to be asking for help to people or looking for words in a dictionary.
