Hello

Blogging
April 29, 2009

You may already have a Google account if you used Google Docs or GCal or Gmail or Blogger or Picasa web albums or any other Google service. If you do not already have a Google account, it is very easy to make one.

You can control many points about your blog, such as whether search engines can find it, who can read it, who can make comments on it, and so on.

Why?

_ Start Writing Regularly
_ Improve your fluency in writing, your ease of
expression, vocabulary, and grammar.
_ Blogging has some similarities to
academic writing. For example, the Funnel Introduction, capturing your reader’s
attention, paragraph structure, essay structure, conclusions, citing sources
(with hyperlinks or with an academic citation).
_ A blog is lighter than a
physical journal or notebook. A blog has no weight. Also, you can write in it
while someone is reading it (at the same time). You can interact with many
different people.

What?
What should I write about?

_ Academic topics
_ Classes at school
_ News
_ Thoughts, ideas, opinions
_ Language learning
_ Something that might be of interest to other people
_ Daily life?

Be careful to protect your own privacy.
