ESL Blogs

Welcome to my first ever writing challenge! I’ve been a fan of this activity since the day I became a member of our club as well as joined to countless of its versions. Many members have shown their initiative by coming up different topics to join with and improve our writing skills in a fun and engaging ways. It would be unfair as your video moderator if I’m not going to share a slice of my cake with you.

If my memory serves me right, we had this type of challenge before, but that was ages ago. This needs updating so for the benefit of our newbies here, let’s rekindle this activity with enthusiasm as much as possible.

For this writing activity, I’d like to challenge you to share about your country’s traditional dish or a very common food in your region. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Furthermore, the aim of this activity is to practice using adjectives and key words in describing a certain food. Tell us something about it. You may answer these questions- what is it called?/ how is it prepared and what are the ingredients?/ how's it taste and your views about it.  Do you find it appetizing or not and why?

You could write it in a simple way; however, don’t be timid to make it creative. Try to think out of the box. You can write two to three paragraphs or even more. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, we might learn something about them, too. If you have your own photo, please include it to make your blog more appealing. BUT if you couldn’t resist using photos from the Internet, please be respectful and acknowledge the source. This is one of the reasons why writing challenges are made, to inspire us to become responsible bloggers.

So are you up for the challenge? What’s the traditional or common dish in your country? Let’s gather our thoughts and start blogging about it. Kindly share the link of your blog below so we could read and check it. Use the title ‘Writing Challenge: A (your country name in adjective form) Dish’. For example; A Philippines Dish, A French Dish, or A Spanish Dish and so on. I'm looking forward to seeing your participation. 

Here's my writing challenge entry.

Wishing you the best of luck!
