blogging?
Can blogging improve your English or not?
YES OF COURSE IT CAN
Typing in the computer about what goes on in your life, what you did at school today, and exciting or even depressing events going on in your life can definitely help to improve your English. Not only that, but this also helps the blogger to be able to communicate and express his or her personal thoughts and opinions to other bloggers around.
Well, thats the small part of the advantages withing blogging in websites XD, but there’s also a small defect and disadvantage that comes with it too. Everything comes with a price, does it not?
Blogging might not only be socializing, improving technical skills, express of thoughts and emotions, but also a fun thing to do! But then again, all of this is only expressed within the internet world. It might even affect how one expresses him/ herself in real life. Many people world wide have been so connected with technology nowadays till the point where going out of their houses and saying ‘hello’ to fellow neighbors are no longer necessary or even thought of. Of all people, statistics have found out that its the younger generation that has been most affected by this issue.
Therefore, in conclusion… Yes, blogging DOES aid our english. But mainly through writing and grammatical skills, but can also be a disadvantage when it comes to communicating with others in real life.

Phyllis,
Thank you very much for your insightful response. Yes, I agree. I think the socialisation aspect is also something that we need to be weary of. I also worry that it worsens our grammar as we do not edit as carefully as we would normally, and ” ‘lite” speak is quite fashionable.
Do you think we can address the socialisation issue by leaving comments and interacting together as we learn to blog and think about presenting ideas online?
