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.

Hi Elisa Your blog is really nice! And also really pink... :P! I also think that blogging is very interesting, but I don't know if it will be easy to improve our English in this way... I mean, we will be able to create a blog, and use it, and I think this is amazing!! But I still don't know if my English is improving... I'm sure we will know it very soon!
See you!

hi Elisa! What a really nice pink blog! Your post on blogging experience is very detailed and well-done and I partially agree with what you said. I'm only a little bit skeptical, as Anna is as well, about considering blog as a useful tool in order to improve our English... I don't know, maybe we should comment more on our language and publish more comments with our language feedbacks to our peers.
See you!

Hi Elisa! Everything regarding technology is difficult for me (I'm so lazy!) so I understand you well! Nevertheless I discovered that I like blogs, reading them, leaving comments...It's cool too see how you can get in touch with people you don't know, who live on the other side of the world, without moving from your room! Don't you think so?
