ESL Blogs

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some people may think English grammar is important. To make a grammatically correct sentence, you need to learn grammar such as verb tenses, prepositions, countable/uncountalbe nouns, collocations and so on - it definitely takes a lot of time and effort to learn all of them. And, if you want to pass an English test such as TOEFL, IELTS, you also need to learn grammar. Thus, people here (where I live) usually spend a lot of time learning grammar and they may start to learn it from the very beginn

   Nowadays,e-mails have taken the place of letters .it's more adequate,speed and economic. But,can you have the same feeling when opening your letter boxe and find one or some letters that you were waiting ,and when opening the computer then find e-mails ?
I think both of them are useful,but still technology shouldn't erase the positive things .
