During the last two weeks of blogging, I have found that there is actually a lot of things to be experienced on blogs, of which I had absolutely no idea! Well, I have to say that before exploring the blogosphere, I was not particularly interested in visiting and having to do with blogs because I am not very fond of technology and computers! The very first week of our blogging I actually felt a little confused and lost, because I did not have a precise idea of what a blog consists of and how to work with it.. However, once I started handling them, reading through bloggers’ comments, clicking on the links I found here and there, I have realized that they are an incredible source of knowledge, where you can find anything you want, from the latest news around the world, to travel tips, food recipes and so on! I was struck by the huge variety that the blogosphere contains: there you can really find any kind of blogs, from those which deal with more formal and informative topics to the more informal ones.
Moreover, I think that blogging opens the way to a new form of communication based on interaction between people from all over the world, on the exchange of their ideas and opinions, creating in this way a kind of virtual global community, where everyone can have his/her own say! In my opinion weblogs can be a useful means to improve my skills in written English as well as to learn better the more informal level of language, which particularly in the last year of my degree course was quite left out.. I have actually realized that I still have some difficulties in having a fluent conversation with an English native speaker and I hope that blogs will help me to improve my oral skills as well!
Finally, I have to say that I’m really having a lot of fun in creating my own blog, as it is something which I can organize according to my preferences, giving free play to my ideas in developing it, enriching it with photos and thoughts…isn’t it fantastic?!
Well girls, I’m looking forward to reading your comments!
Bye!
