Advice to a Reluctant Blogger

Dear future ESL 58 students,

First, I want to congrats for make it through all the writing classes you have taken, and to enjoy ESL 58 as much as I did.  Also, I want to point out that you have done the right thing by choosing Ms. Marty as your instructor. Ms. Marty is a very especial teacher and I guarantee that with her, you will not only improve your writing processing, but also you will be taught to develop your thinking and brainstorming.   One of the new techniques, you will learn about during this class is blogging. Blogging has become one of the internet’s revolutionary social media sites. The only different between blogging and Facebook / twitter is that in blogging you have to write a fully description of what you are planning to talk about, and not just a small message with a minimum description. Don’t worry about blogging because of grammatical or organizational issues, not one will judge your performance unless you have clear ideas and meaningful message. If you hate writing as much as I used to do, I guarantee that you will love writing by blogging.   Blogging is a free writing, you can write about anything you want. Image yourself as a journalist and you writing an article for your readers.  Blogging is more fun than writing an essay. You can always provide media with your writing, you can add pictures, videos or polls, and with this feature, you will add more fun image to your writing. By blogging you can create unlimited topics from food, fashion to education and politic.

I suggest that you don’t stop blogging as I am planning to do in the future. Don’t consider it assignment. If you take blogging as mandatory assignment, you will lose the value and the real message behind it. Blogging could be who you are and the voice of all your dreams and future life.

  1. wow, i loved reading your description of the value of blogging. can i steal your words next time I describe it, mariam? i especially hope future students will absorb the distinction you make between thinking of blogging as a mandatory assignment and thinking of blogging as an opportunity for personal expression.
