This is my first blog. Some friends have one, but I was not interested in having a blog because I prefer to write mails to my friends when I need to say something. Also, we have Facebook now, in which you can write comments and your friends can write in your page, and the program sends you an email advising that your friends have written. The blog don't have this function and I don't know when someone write a comment in it...
Blogging has not been entertained because is difficult to write in English, and it takes a long time... but I prefer write in this blog instead of the listening tests... I have improved my English during the course, and the blog has help me because I have written about different topics, then I need to use vocabulary. My favorite blog was the one in which we write about a photo. In this opportunity, I wrote about my friends.
The advantages of blogging in the English class are to write in this language in a format more atractive that in a Word file and that our classmates can read our comments. The disadvantage are the misunderstandings. I love to speak and write... but in Spanish... I think to write in a blog in English can cause problems, because you can write something and you can be misunderstood (as in a comment that I did in Guillermo's blog and José did not understand).
The problem with the blog is that you can't copy a text from a Word file, in which you can write in English and to count the words (in the blog, you can't count the words and the tasks must be a certain extension...). I hope to keep improving my English because it's very important in our area and it will be necessary for our trips in the future.
