10 English - The benefits and advantages of blogging

Hello everyone!

I know this is a late post, but I will be talking about my first English assignment for 2021. Our new English teacher was also new to our school. She originally taught in Auckland and moved down south for family matters. Her name is Mrs. Truter and she is a wonderful teacher, I am definitely looking forward to her teaching us more. I don't know how but she has a way of teaching that gets us to really remember the things she teaches the class. Well, at least that's the case for me.

In our 200 word essay, we had to of course make sure that we had 200 words and that was our minimum. We also had to answer 3 questions which were - 

• What are the benefits of blogging?
• What the advantages of your teacher knowing your concerns?
• How does learning English benefit us through blogging?

Now here is my work, enjoy!

Benefits of blogging

Personally, I think we do blogging to summarise our work or to show our understanding of the topic. Blogging also gives us the opportunity to practice our writing skills, so we can get better at grammar and punctuation. Blogging can also be a place where we can put down our notes to possibly help us in future projects. In my personal opinion, I enjoy blogging it gives me a sense of achievement, or it shows me how hard I’ve worked. Regarding what my previous teacher said about blogging, apparently, it has been proven that blogging increases our writing level. The new generation is pretty lucky if I say so my self, because if we compare how we do work now to how people did it back then. Our writing may have been easier for us to learn but come out with great results. A blog can also be a perfect platform for LCS. This means Learn, Create, Share, from learning in class, creating a project, and sharing it on to our blog. A blog can also give inspiration to others for their work and can keep people in touch. Also, a project called the Summer Learning Journey gives you prizes for doing blogs throughout the holidays. This benefits our grades, so they can still stay at the same level or decrease only slightly. 

The advantages of having my teacher know/read my concerns, opinions, reflections about my progress. This can help us reflect on our work, knowing our mistakes and correcting them. We can know what to do next time. We can then improve, this can also give us a chance to help other students by giving them feedback and something to reflect on them. Speaking on feedback, naturally, if we get feedback there would be two options. Ignoring it or listening to it, but it would be better to listen, so we can have a good time. Teachers can also get an idea of how we write, making it easier for them and us.

Throughout our life, we need to know English as it benefits probably everything we do, for example, we need to have good English for a career. In my opinion, blogging definitely helps us through English as we get to practice it. It provides us with an opportunity to reflect on our English, It also opens up our writing range/span to a wider audience. It can also provide a good platform with feedback that could possibly help us with our English.
