My blogging experience

Hi. I always wanted to improve my english skills, but I never had the chance to do it. Even in school, I didn’t have this chance. We had english class, but our teacher talked all the time. We only used english to answer some questions she asked to us. But now it's is different (probably because we are 11, and in the school we were 45). Now we have the opportunity to improve our skills.

One of this skills is writing. That’s why writing in our blogs is one of the main parts of this class. While you are writing, you can feel you are improving. And it feels good.

I have improved my fluency, for example. In school, when I had to redact my answers in the english tests, I had to think a lot before writing my answer. But now, I can write longer texts, in less time and with less grammar mistakes.

So, as you can see I enjoy this activity a lot. The only part I don’t like is the deadline. Sometimes we have a lot to do, and we have to write the post too fast. That’s why I think deadline should be Sunday, at midnight. We could even learn more, because we would not be distracted by other issues, as genetics, sociology, etc.

I’m not good at english. That’s why writing in the blog has been fundamental to me. Probably you are wondering why I didn’t do this before, by my own. Well, because the teacher role is too necessary. How can I improve my english skills if nobody is there to correct my mistakes?

Activities like this one should be implemented in all shools, and not just in the University. By doing this, the educational level of Chile would improve significantly.
