My first experience with blogging

Hi!

It’s me again. In this brief post I’d like just to share with you my first experience with blogging. Needless to say, blogging is not as easy as it might seem because the blogosphere is so huge that it is very rare to find what you are looking for right away. Hence, if you do not want to get lost in the labyrinth of blogs and posts on the Internet you have to be a bit patient and practice a lot surfing the web regularly. On one hand, blogging can be rather confusing at first, but on the other hand Web 2.0 gives us the opportunity to share our experience and develop a noticeable critical ability.

It is also worth noting that blogging in English can influence our learning process, not only because it makes us aware of our achievements (in the same web page it is possible to see many posts written in different periods), but also because blogging gives us the opportunity to explore a different kind of language: the informal, spontaneous written language that has short constructions, phrasal repetitions and a looser sentence construction. Moreover, when you blog you often find many links or clickable words that enables you to read more about a particular topic. Indeed this is also a good way to read in English and to enrich our vocabulary with new expression either formal or informal. All this helps us to get acquainted with the intriguing, rather new and hybrid language used in the blogs. Everything put aside, blogging deals with reading: in order to write a thoughtful comment you must read the post carefully. Do you agree?

Bye,

Francesca M.
