My Blogging Experience

Of course, my blogging experience is a bit different from yours...I'm the teacher. I have to write as a kind of example to follow...I have to be an example (part of being a teacher, I guess).

I've basically made the blog writing part of my weekly routine. Usually, I get up a little before 8:00 in the morning on a Wednesday, make my coffee, and write the blog. It's been a kind of nice reflective and contemplative way to start the day. Me, my coffee, and my blog. I've actually liked having to think about various experiences and ideas I've had, and then having to turn them into material for the blog and for all of you to read.

As an educator, I am sure that this has been a very beneficial experience for you and your English. Writing is not easy, and we need to get practice and experience doing it so that we can improve. Writing may be a very important skill in your academic futures as you might want to continue your studies abroad, which means having to take an English test. Writing is always an important element of these tests. In my experience, it's always been hard for students to get enough writing practice. Consequently, writing has been a sort of "weak link" for many test-takers. Therefore, this blogging experience is a GREAT way to do a lot of writing. On top of that, it's a pretty low stress and motivating way to do it.

Perhaps, in the future, we could have a few other topics ot express our ideas and opinions about. Food, the news, people are all great topics that could be incorporated into our blog syllabus.

I'm happy to be a part of this process helping you all to improve your writing. I know a lot of us don't like to write too much, but writing these blogs and commenting on our classmates' entries has been a pretty nice way to do it.
