In my opinion the blog experience was very useful to improve my English. As I went to English school I didn’t had to start “learning” but I had to admit that I had forgotten a lot in this years. I think that is very important to practice the second language frequently, because if not you start losing it. I had to admit that I only enjoyed some of the topics, for example the one of the football match was very difficult because I didn’t knew a lot about the topic so I had to start looking for information. Posting on other classmates blog’s I think that it was very good, because you had to read what other people wrote and give your opinion. I think that this task helped in the sense of understanding someone else idea and give an opinion on your own about it.
The advantages I think that were the ones I put in the first paragraph, to write once a week about a topic helps a lot to get fluency at writing. Another advantage could be that you are forced to try to write well so you start looking how do I said this, or how do I continue with my idea, I think that this point helps a lot because you learned some words or phrases you didn’t knew.
On the other side I think that there’re not any disadvantages, to write every week and couldn’t miss any post, could be a little bit annoying in the sense of the grade and that sometimes you had other things to do, but that doesn’t against the idea of improving your English. To be honest I think that if it was given the possibility for example to miss two, all of us would use it. So even do sometimes I hated the blogging experience in that sense, I had to admit that it helps to create the idea of “once a week” I had to think and write in English about something.
