Here's my top ten tips on writing blogs (just for anyone who may want to write a good blog):

1. Make sure you really know why you want to write a blog. You may just aim to share your idea, thought, opinion, feelings and so on. Or, you're trying to introduce something (a special holiday, festival, food, etc) to us.

2. Choose a proper topic. A proper topic is something you're familiar with, that you think is fun, decent or not offensive. Avoid topics you are unable to cope with or control.

3. Make yo

list

Did you know that the most popular blog posts often contain lists? Top ten lists are very popular. For some reason our eyes are attracted to headings and bold text. Numbered headings are easy to follow. Even if you don't have time to read the whole post, you can get the gist.

If you want people to read your blogs, it is a good idea to include lists. These can be bulleted or numbered lists. For this month's writing challenge you are going to create a Top Ten List on any topic! Within your list you

Could we improve our speaking skills just by writing? I think so. Let's write a dialogue/dialog to see if it works - it can be called a speaking challenge.

A dialog is just a conversation between two or more people. Here, we just try to write down what people may actually say in a conversation.

You can write a dialog:
·on any topic, as long as it's an acceptable one.
·between student and teacher, shopper and shop assistant, woman and man, patient and doctor, A and B, and so on. You just imagine a si

I deeply apologise

I would like to apologize to everybody who has read my blog. I have not done my best, for example, I have written a lot of bovine excreta for which I deeply and sincerely apologize. (I have this American dictionary that forces me to use American spellings) (A writer should ponder a one word which he uses for about 2 or 3 hours before he pens it (I have used the word pen instead of write to show I know English.)I have decided to make up for this by teaching how to write an essay. However, you wil

Summer is just around the corner

Summer is my favorite weather before because the sun is shining great, flowers bloom incessantly, beach resorts are booming and a lot of people spend their days swimming or visiting malls.

But things turn differently because of the El Niño phenomenon. Constant humidity affects a lot of people. Heat stroke is rising and farms are drought affecting the farmer's living. In this case prices of commodities go up, it's like a domino effect.

Some parts of my country are under state of calamity. Governmen

When you finish writing your blog, don't forget to add tags to it.

What does 'Tags' mean? Tags are just key words about your blog.

Why do you need to add tags? Some people may need to search for a topic before they begin writing their blog. Your tags will help them to do so.

How do you add tags to your blog? Just below the 'Entry' (where you're writing your blog), you can see the 'Tags' box. You can pick some key words from your blog and put them in the box.

My tags for this blog are: tag, blog.

2. Watching Daniel Emmerson's latest film from The Learning English Video Project "Insights from China"
