My impressions after the first two weeks of blogging

After two weeks of blogging I can say that the idea of an our personal courseblog is very interesting. We can learn from other people, from their suggestions and corrections. There is always something to learn!!!
Using the computer is a thing I don't like so much, but it is also a great opportunity to be familiar with it. Nowadays computers are part of our life!!
As we don't have many possibilities to write in english it is also a great opportunity of language-learning, because on a blog people can write what they want, often in an informal style, and so it is the same as speaking, even if the other person you speak with is not sitting in front of you.
Often the time I have to do the e-tivities is not much, because I have to attend other lessons and, as I come from Ferrara, I have to spend about two hours a day in train; however I always find the time to do them, because it is an enormous opportunity to see what people think of my work, to express myself and my personality and also to see other people's personalities and their behaviours about certain things.

Hi Letizia!
I didn't understand you go by train two hours a day. Well, you're very strong to do it everyday!
However, I agree with you this way to learn English is an occasion to be more familiar with computers. I used some programs to modify photos and put them on my blog and to me it was interesting trying to create a good effect with basic programs, that is, those I have in my pc since I've bought it. I have no
Photoshop program and I used the simple Paint one!

Hi Letizia!
Spending so much time on a train must be hard when you have to attend university and that is why I consider myself so lucky to have an apartment in Padua. The main problem is that I (still) don't have any Internet connection so I have to attend the so called Laif's laboratories to do all these activities and believe me, sometimes it is quite hard to get a computer to work on!
Anyway I agree with you and Zara: this course will surely improve our relationship with technology so hopefully I will improve not only my English but also my abilities in informatics!
See you on Monday!

Hi Letizia,
I can perfectly understand you because I have the same troubles with trains as I have to go to Padua every day like you…they make me feel really nervous especially when they delay!! I totally agree with you on the fact that these e-tivities require a lot of time and energy, but after finishing your work you feel happy and satisfied, isn't it? :-)
Besides, blogs are an important way to improve your English skills and evaluate your progress day by day thanks to the help of your peers,too..and I think this is really great!
bye bye!

Hello!
I share with you my disinclination / hostility for technology… but I can’t do anything: computers are everywhere. So I’m really glad to attend this course because I’m forced to improve my skills. Hopefully technology can help us to improve our English.
