Just clicking on the "Like" may not be good enough for you to appreciate something you like

I've noticed that some of the members here prefer clicking on the "Like" to adding a comment on what they've just read or seen. There's nothing wrong, though, and most likely the blogger will appreciate it if you click on the button after you've read their blogs. I just wanted to say it might be not good enough to show your appreciation by just clicking on the "Like" rather than really adding a comment on what you really liked.

I usually leave a comment on what I like. I just read this blog by Tara. I really enjoyed reading it. I clicked on the "Like" and added a comment on it.

So, can you tell me why you just clicked on the "Like" instead of leaving a comment on what you've just read or liked? You might find it's hard for you to write something. If that's the case and if you really want to learn English, you should have tried to leave a comment there. You might have made some mistakes in your comment - spelling, grammar, etc, but that's what it takes for you to learn English. And most likely, the blogger will point out the mistakes you made if you really want them to correct you.

Whenever I write a blog after I posted it I always wanted read comments to know if I did well or not and to learn from every comment. That is why I like this blog and I think the same too. Thumbs up to this blog^_^.

Thanks for the nice comment, Wayne! Making mistakes is part of the learning - we make mistakes even when we're using our own native language!

yes,thank you Expector smith,it is really a good idea,for sometimes we may make mistakes,it doesn't matter,we can be corrected by our friends on the page who have seen the mistakes,my english is not very good,but i often like writing to friends and speaking to them in english ,as i think that we make mistakes are human nature,because we are human being,

Hi Ario,

Thanks for sharing your opinion on this topic! I agree that sometimes it seems to be the right thing to do by just clicking on the "Like" instead of leaving a comment or doing nothing. Actually, I sometimes just click on the button without adding a comment on what I've just read or seen.

Hi bangon,

Thanks for the comment! Yes, it takes a lot of pain and efforts to learn English. The Internet facilitates the English learning. And, I bet it's Josef who you shold thank for creating this excellent website, MyEC!

Well, I can leave my comment on a blog, but don't click "Like" button. And I can click "Like" button without leave any comment. I think my answers will look similar with my other friend comment on your other blog post about this topic.

Sometimes, I didn't leave any comment not because I was afraid to make mistakes on my comment. But, it was because I didn't know what I should say. Sometimes, words can't represent your emotion or opinion. Or maybe the topics were too heavy for my simple mind.

And sometimes, write classic comments like "great blog post. I like it!" or 'thank you' seems not right for me. So, I just clicked "Like" or even just left. I remember, I clicked "Like' button in a blog post instead of leaving comment because I knew that it would be some debates there and I felt lazy to get involved. I clicked the 'like' because I agree with the writer's opinion.

Hi Tara,

I'm glad you wanted to see my face! Indeed, I'm thinking about changing my profile picture. I've never changed it ever since I joined this club - members here are so familiar with it. Some members here just kept changing their avatar, which made me ask myself whether it was time for me to change mine. Are you sure it's a good idea?

Hi anele,

So you don't want me to change my profile picture, which is so familiar to members here. You said you were not sure what would happen if I changed my picture -- haha! Something terrible might happen:)) You reminded me to think twice before I changed it. Thanks for the reminder! I'll make sure the change will prove to be the right thing to do.

Hi Nafis,

Great to see your comment! How was your study in Toronto? Are you on your Christmas vacation? Have a woderful holiday!

Hi Rajesh,

Thanks for wanting to see my face! Yes, it seems to be a good idea to write a blog on that. I really want to know how many members here would agree I should change my profile picture just for a change!
