Welcome to Pre-Advanced Class!

Welcome to Pre-Advanced English and your introduction to blogs! I have only met you all once, but I already know this will be a great class. How do I know that? Because in the first class you all used English actively and weren't afraid to ask questions. If you keep trying hard like this, we can learn a lot of English and enjoy discussing many topics with each other.

Anyway, BLOGS are new for many of you. What is a blog? As we discussed last class, a blog is just like a journal or diary, but it's online. So, creating a blog will help you to improve your English skills and computer skills at the same time.

Here are the MAIN REASONS we are doing a blog:

* You also need to use English outside of class. This will give you that chance.
* It will help you to practice new vocabulary. We will discuss different topics in class, and then you will write about a similar topic for your blog. This will help you use new words.
* It will help your reading and writing skills. Writing the blog each week (and reading your classmates' blogs) will help you practice reading and writing.
* You can get to know your classmates better. You and your classmates will write many interesting things about yourselves on your blogs. This will help you all to become good friends and work well together.

Is that enough reasons for you??? I hope so. Don't be worried about creating a blog. If I can do it, you can do it! You might have some trouble at first, but me and your classmates will help you. Once you start doing it each week, it will be a piece of cake!
Good luck and happy blogging!!!
