Hello Everybody!!
Blogs are new for me. At the beginning it was quite difficult to cope with e-tivities, but then everything became clearer and I can say that I enjoy e-learning. I have learned a lot from these two weeks of blogging; before I only knew what a blog is and I couldn’t imagine how important it is in learning English. Searching for blogs you realize that you have a world in front of you: people of different nationalities write in English about their lives, their experiences, their thoughts and you can read and comment them.
Blogs are useful to understand the differencies between formal and informal English and the context in which these two varieties appear. I noticed, for instance, that people tend to use informal English when they write about their personal experiences, however, when their blogs deal with more serious issues (religion, education, linguistics, racism...) formal English prevails. You can obviously improve your vocabulary and at the same time your writing skills because you get in contact with the language used by native speakers, and this is a resource that books are not always able to offer. Furthermore, you can share ideas, post comments, all activities that help you to learn a lot from the others because they enable you to compare and improve your work.
