ESL Blogs

Evangelina has just published a writing challenge. The reason she did so may be due to the encouraging comments on her previous blog in which she asked if we were ready for or welcome a writing challenge. 

While it seems most of the members think it helpful to take part in a writing challenge, some members may be doubtful about it. They may try to ask this question: what's a writing challenge really for or what's the point?

Tara, the former admin, used to encourage us to write more with her monthly writing challenge. Most of us enjoyed her challenges. She tried to correct us, which is beneficial for improving our English. 

I've tried to help keep it up with my blog challenges. That means you don't have to be an admin like Tara to come up with a writing or blog challenge. That is to say, any member here is encouraged to publish such a challenge for others to practice. 

A writing challenge is supposed to encourage you to write more. You need more writing practice to hone your writing skills. And, you may be corrected if there are any mistakes in your writing and you really want to be corrected - a native speaker or advanced member may help make the corrections. 

Sometimes you just run out of ideas or topics for a blog. That's when a writing challenge may help. 

The topic of a writing challenge is usually something fun, useful or tricky to learn, for example grammar. You'll learn more by joining us for the challenges or discussions.
