Hi there.
Well, this is the last post on this experimental blog, experimental? Yes, because this blog born as a tool to improve my English level and I have to say that it was a awesome experience because I used to post in blogs a few years ago with a little difference, I didn’t post about me but post about funny videos or pictures nothing else, I didn’t use the blog as a diary of myself, so this experience was nice and above all I had to write in English which I don’t use to, so I could show some aspects of my life and improve my English level all of this added to the mechanic of blogger which is to find “ad – hoc” pictures to give some life to the post, your classmates comments, etc. I enjoyed it, as I’m some kind of geek, working on PC and trough Internet makes me a lot easier this part of the English lessons, which is because I enjoyed so much on working on blogger platform.
Of course this modality of work helps me to improve my English because I used to write more than the 150 word required for each post and this wasn’t for a better qualification or something like that but I couldn’t express what I had to say about any theme in less than 150 words so I extended unconsciously and I ended to write my post in 250 or 300 words so this modality, to me, was perfect to improve my English, besides there is a feedback with the teacher because he takes his time to check posts and correct them so I could edit my posts and improve them improving also my English.
Well, along this post I said all the advantages that I found on this modality of improve English but I don’t mentioned disadvantages, so to finish this last post I like to mention some of this disadvantages, there aren’t too many but it worth to mention. In first place feedback wasn’t very complete because there are many posts without correction, could be for the teacher’s very few time so I understand but this is one of the disadvantages. Secondly, with a Internet support could be easy to copy information and add it to the blog which wisely teacher avoid it making us write about our own experiences like “our future”, “favourite subjects”, etc. but on post with a little more of objective information could be a disadvantage because the “copy-paste” problem. These are 2 little disadvantages that I could mention in a whole excellent way to improve English.
