Last assingment

Since last year, the Faculty of Social Sciences started to implement an english program for the students, so they could have the acces to learn that imporant language that usually appears in many texts of the diferent disciplines. In the english clases, the students always have to create their own blogs, and post the activities required by the teachers, in which is a new way of learn.

We all know that blogs are a very advanced tool for communications, and some people say that blogs are some kind of forefront, a revolutionary discovery that could change forever the traditional concept of personal expression. My personal position is that blogs are a very useful tool, but nothing more than that, those other interpretations are exaggerated.

Using these blogs in english class is good because it alows us (the students) to learn how to handle, which could be very useful if in the future we want to make blogs related to other items, for example, our carrer, hobbies, etc. It is also a good way to learn english, because it keep us practicing the language by writing to post new articles, or by reading the blogs of our classmates, where sometimes you can find very interesting views and comments. The bad thing about blogs, is that they can only be used by internet, and that condition is a problem for the students that doesn't have any kind of connection to internet at home.

In conclussion, I think that blogs are a very good way to learn and practice english, and it's also positive to learn english while you are also learning to use the new creations of the advanced technology. It could be uncomfortable to those students that doesn't have internet at home, but the university has computer labs where everyone can work in the blogs.

Daniel,
You did a good job.
Your essay is well written: you included an introduction, the main body and a conclusion. There’s an incomplete idea and a few things that need to be corrected, though.
Keep up the good work!
JL

We all know that blogs are a very advanced tool for communication, and some people say that blogs are AT THE forefront OF COMMUNICATIONS, a revolutionary discovery that could change the traditional concept of personal expression forever. My personal position is that blogs are a very useful tool, but nothing more than that, those other interpretations are exaggerated.
Using these blogs in THE English class is POSITIVE because it alLows us (the students) to learn how to handle (What?), which could be very useful if we want to make blogs related to other items in the future, for example, our carreE r, hobbies, etc. It is also a good way to learn English, because it keepS us practicing the language by writing to post new articles, or by reading the blogs of our classmates, where sometimes you can find very interesting views and comments.
The bad thing about / THE DRAWBACK OF blogs, is that they can only be ACCESSED by internet, and that condition is a problem for the students that do(-)n't have any kind of connection to internet at home.
In conclusion, I think that blogs are a very good way to learn and practice English -and it's positive to learn English while you are also learning to use the new creations of the advanced technology. USING BLOGS could be uncomfortable FOR those students that do(-)n't have internet at home, NONTHELESS, the university has computer labs where everyone can work in the blogs.

SUGGESTION:
When writing an essay try to avoid simple colloquial language. For example:
Instead of good, you could use convenient, positive, productive, beneficial, etc
Instead of but, you may use however, nevertheless, although, etc.
