This is the last task that involves writing in the blog for the english class. So as a finishing work we are supossed to evaluate this precise activity: to use this blog as a tool for learning and practicing english.
How do i feel about it? I think it is a great way to improve our learning, because when you write you have to check yourself using dictionaries or translators to be sure that you are writing in the right way. It is your task to assure that you are doing it fine, because the teacher will correct it once you have finished the post that you have been indicated to write. It is like having little tests every week, but it is not that hard (you don't have that much pressure on you). It is, indeed, a great way to practice your english writing, to make sure how to write all those words that you know only by how it sounds, and definitively to win some confidence in how much english you mannage, because when you practice with your classmates, i usually get to know them and lost my shame of not having a perfect english, but anyway i will feel embarrassed talking in english to people i don't know, or that i know they speak perfect.
Another thing that i like a lot about this kind of activities is the fact that you have to visit some websites with really interesing topics, like that TED webpage with all those short videos with an incredible ammount of information, or that crazy futuristic view of perfect life you can find in the Victory City's website.
It was a fine experience, i think. Simon should keep this activity in his future classes and find new ways of making the new learners more confident about their capacity to understand and speak the language.
