My problems/difficulties in blogging: sometimes I don't know what to write.
My expectations for the following month:maybe we could contact with some bloggers from another country.

Finding another class of EFL student bloggers is a great idea. I'm working on finding one, but if you have time please search for some yourself, then we might decide together on who to contact in class.
TörlésAlex, please post your comment on MY post and not on Tücsök's comment :-)
TörlésBlogging is like expressing your opinion online so that people around the world can see/read it.
VálaszTörlésBlogging for the purpose of practicing English is very useful.
It is really good in blogging that you can add pictures, videos, links to your posts and that you can write a post about any topic.
My problems/difficulties in blogging: I don't have problems in blogging.
My expectations for the following month: meeting more bloggers around the world.
My plans for the following month: writing about other topics and not only the homework.
Good to hear you have no problems in blogging :-) What bloggers would you like to contact and do you have a plan on how to do it?
TörlésBlogging is like saying what's your opinion, you don't say it out loud but you write it in your blog.
VálaszTörlésBlogging for the purpose of practicing English is interesting and something new for me.
It is really good in blogging that I can put pictures in my post.
My problems/difficulties in blogging are: I don't think I have problems in blogging.
My expectations for the following month: posting things about the current events from the world.
My plans for the following month: writing post in my blog not just because I have to, but writing something I want to share with other people...
I say go for it and post anything that interests you. That's the point of blogging, sharing our thoughts and opinions on things that are current or those we think are important, interesting, surprising, shocking etc.
TörlésBlogging is like expressing ideas.
VálaszTörlésBlogging for the purpose of practicing English is very good, because it is easier to express myself and I learn a lot of new words while writing something.
It is really good in blogging that there are plenty of ways you can show things that you like.
My problems/difficulties in blogging are.. I am still a beginner, but sometimes I don't like the task that we had to do for homework.
My plans for the following month: to write more beside the homework
Well, don't refrain if you have things to say, a blog is a really good way to record your thoughts and see how your language learning progresses over time. I'm also curious about which HW tasks you didn't like and why.
TörlésFor example, the one with social issues. Maybe it was too complicated for me.
TörlésYou mean the one when you had to choose an article and summarise it?
TörlésBlogging is like writing an online diary with my own opinion and thoughts, what can see people all around the world.
VálaszTörlésBlogging for the purpose of practicing English is very useful. I can learn new words quickly, and it helps me to learn how I can express myself.
It is really good in blogging that I can share my thoughts with other people, and I can write about whatever I want.
Sometimes I am too lazy to write. I think this is my biggest problem.
My plans for the following month to write it regulary and write about more themes what interest me.
It's nice to read your ideas on blogging, because it seems you've really made sense of it. It's not unusual that sometimes you don't feel like blogging, we're still at the beginning but practice makes perfect (or practice makes the master) and if you do it over and over again it will get much easier over time to write a post in no time :-)
TörlésYes, already it is, and I hope it will be more easier. This is like skying for me. I know it is not the best metaphor, but skying was very hard at first too, and by the time it has been more and more easier, and now I love it very much :) I think with blogging can happen the same thing :)
TörlésBlogging is like writing a public diary about our interest.
VálaszTörlésBlogging for the purpose of practicing English is very useful.It's a fun way to learn English.
It is really good in blogging that I can write my personal opinions, ideas about something.
My problems/difficulties in blogging are that I know what I want to write, but I can't write it down.
My expectations for the following month: I want to choose a theme, which I'm gonna write about.
My plans for the following month:if I could choose a theme, I would write about it.
You seem to know what blogging is about, but I don't really understand what you mean by saying "I know what I want to write, but I can't write it down". Could you please clarify this? You can actually write about anything you like or any thought you have in mind or anything that happened to you or anything you read/saw/watched/listened to on the internet or anywhere else. It doesn't have to be long. Blogging is a great way to record snippets of what's happening in your life. It doesn't have to be one topic, as this blog is an English learning blog in which you are free to write about whatever that comes your way.
TörlésI want to write a lots of things down, but I dont know how. But then I will start with little things, like you suggested :)
TörlésBlogging is like sharing my ideas with the world.
VálaszTörlésBlogging for the purpose of practicing English is good, because it really helps you to advance your language skill, especially the social language.
It is really good in blogging that i can write, or do what I like, and I know that there are some other people too with the interests that are the same with mines.
My problems/difficulties in blogging are the blogging homeworks, when the teacher tells me what to write on my own blog. :P
My expectations for the following month: videos, more homework, and pictures with interesting facts.
My plans for the following month: the same that i mentioned upper
Let's make things clear :-) this is an English language learning blog and the teacher sometimes has to tell you what to write about the same way as we do in the lessons at school :-)) The point is, however, that you're free to write about anything that comes your way besides the HW tasks :-), or if you choose a certain topic to elaborate on in your blog, that's fine as well.
TörlésYeah, I understand, just, you know I really don't like when people tell me what to do, i'm a little rebel :) But I understand that this is our task, and I'll try to do everything to participate in the class' work :) My only problem is that our HW doesn't fit to my chosen topic for my blog, but I'll manage :D
TörlésBlogging is like a public diary open for everyone and once you shared your thoughts there's no way you could take them back. It's out on the internet forever and always.
VálaszTörlésBlogging for the purpose of practicing English is very interesting. First I was against it, I didn't like the idea at all, because I thought blogging is something you should want to do on your own and not when somebody tells you to and specifies the topics. But now this has changed a bit. It's quite entertaining.
It is really good in blogging that you can express your feelings and thoughts without keeping yourself to any kind of rules. Plus you can use any use of the language you like (e.g. formal, informal, swearings etc.).
My problems in blogging are that I have very little time for it and that it only has a few fonts.
My expectations for the following month are interesting topics to think and write about.
I don't really have a plan for the following month. I was just thinking about posting some stuff not in connection with school but as I said: my time limit is very short.
It seems to me you're a bit worried about the stuff you post as they it will be recorded on the internet forever. You know that you can administer who can see your blog so please do so if your worries persist and give permission to see your blog only to classmates and me. You can't delete your blog, that's true, but you can remove it from public view anytime you wish.
TörlésAnother important thing is that there are different kinds of blogs, and ours is a learning blog which supplements the lessons at school. So sometimes you get topics to write about just the same as you do in the lessons at school. It is also important to note that your learning blogs are your English learning playgrounds in which you can experiment with any topic you like or wish to.
Blogging is like an online diary.
VálaszTörlésBlogging for the purpose of practicing English is very good, because you can promote your language and writing skills.
It is really good in blogging that you can share everything you want, and you got comments, which are really usefull to you.
My problems/difficulties in blogging are that I have a really bad spelling,and I have sometimes problems with writing. :)
My expectations for the following month: my spelling will improve :)
My plans for the following month are to write more and more posts, and to read,and comment a lot :)
Nice views and great plans! :-) What kind of problems with writing do you have? Do you want me to correct your spelling? :-)
TörlésYes, it would be great if someone would help me with my spelling :)I have only problems with that. thank you.:)
TörlésThen I suggest that you send me your writing by e-mail before actually posting it to your blog.
TörlésBlogging is like a diary on the Internet. I can share my opinion with my classmates and maybe with the whole world.
VálaszTörlésBlogging for the purpose of practicing English is really good. I pick lot of new words up, while writing my own posts and reading my classmate’s.
It is really good in blogging that I can share photos and videos and they make the posts more interesting. Another important thing is that I can design my own blog.
I don’t have problems with blogging. I have problems with my internet connection, that’s why I always sand my homeworks lately.
I don’t really have expectations for the following month.
My plans for the following month: I have some essays and If I have time, I will post them. I hope we can write about many interesting topics in the future.
I really like your ideas on the personalization of your blog and your preference of using various media to express your thoughts. You can always write about any interesting topic you have. In addition, you are invited to make suggestions on what topics to write about as a whole class.
TörlésBlogging is like a practice of speech. It's always a good spare of time to think about yourself, the world or another kind of topics. To write your thoughts down helps to memorize some important facts. You can't forget anything, because it's still on your blogging wall. You can share your ideas with the world. Personally, I don't really think about who might see anything about my own opinions. Maybe partly I write to myself. So, I'm talking with myself and I share my conversation with the "world". :)
VálaszTörlésBlogging for the purpose of practicing English: Blogging is a creative way of inspiring ourselves to look for new worlds, memorize them and develop our writing skills.
It is really good in blogging that I don't care about what another people will think about me. I can be honest in borders, of course.
My problems/difficulties in blogging are: THE LACK OF TIME, no internet connection in students' home, uninteresting homework topics, what about I don't have idea
My expectations for the following month: I'm curious about the opinions of strangers. Maybe it'd be good, if the class get ahold of foreigner classes are in the same project as we, and share our ideas with each other. It would be more interesting if blogging were more intensive.
My plans for the following month: I'd like to go on, and continue my work, write on my own.
I appreciate your sincerity, openness and self-confidence. You seem to be a person for whom blogs are a great way to express their ideas on various topics, and I'm happy about this. You're one of the few students who posted stuff regardless of what the HW was, and I encourage you to do so in the future as well, because your posts are interesting to read.
TörlésI've written a few things about what you also mention in your comment in my comments to your classmates's posts above. I'm looking forward to a successful and interesting blogging experience of us all, and if you feel like making any suggestions related to this, do so and let us know.

TörlésI think blogging can be my own diary.. I saw so many blogs in the web where people write stories about their life. I can write stories here too, but something i feel like i dont know what to write down, sometimes i dont feel like i wanna write a blog. It is for people who are a little bit more unsociable, and they must to issue problems or secrets. Why in the internet they do this? maybe they wanna to share it with many people but anonymously and they wanna to show their bad doings to others to learn from it.
VálaszTörlésbad thing in blogging is that I have to do it on time. I think if you make a blog,it's because you want to write and have mood on writing. But if you don't have mood, that's not blogging anymore. The good thing in blogging is that you can write anything not matter the topic or the phraseology or the TIME...
On the other hand it is homework for us... somebody told me that writing is like talking but instead you run your mouth you wear your pen :) it's very good to practice English terms, phrase and of course the language...
My plans for the following month: I want to make up for my delayed homework :)and than to keep up.
My expectations for the following months: to write about something interesting something what happens now or happens with us!
It was great reading your thoughts on what blogging is or should be :-) You should also consider that this is an English learning blog in which we're practicing language skills so sometimes you do have to write about what the teacher tells you to and on time. If you read your classmates' opinion on why blogs are good for practicing English, you will have an authentic list of reasons. I know that it's quite time-consuming to write a blog in the beginning, but with practice you'll get better and better at it, believe me. So go on and share your thoughts on what's happening with or around you :-)
TörlésBlogging is like showing other people your life and what is your own oppinion about a theme
VálaszTörlés- Blogging for the purpose of practicing English is such a great idea,because if we get a theme we don't have a clue about,than we will go on google and find something about,and get general ideas about the theme.
- It is really good in blogging that we write down almost our own thought
- My problems/difficulties in blogging are commenting and nothing plus:D
- My expectations for the following month: I think we will have so many posts,and will be interesting to read it.:)
- My plans for the following month:trying to make always homework at time:$
You're one of the few people to say that it's interesting to read their classmates' posts, and blogging is exactly about that as well: getting to know what other people think about a topic and what interests them at the moment. It's great that you brought this up, because it seems that most of the class is focused on sharing their own ideas on various topics... You should also consider commenting on what you read in other people's blogs because it makes the blogging experience even more interesting. Hopefully, the instances when you have no idea on what to write about a topic will not only be obstacles to do the task, but an opportunity to learn something new.
Törlés*Blogging is like: a modern diary. People can share their everyday life, own opinion, link they like or just a comment on something.
VálaszTörlés*Blogging for purpose of practising English is: a good manner to improve our knowledge.

Törlés- Blogging is like own elektric diary. We can write our opinions and share it whit each other. Maybe we can found someone who thinks the same as we...
VálaszTörlés- Blogging for the purpose of practicing English is that we write more and more and we could multiplying the number of vocabulary. At first we made a lot of mistakes but it decreases over time.
