Blog

A blog is a web page that serves as a publicly accessible personal diary or journal as an individual. Writing blog is a good way for me to express my feelings and thought. Though this is my first time using blog, I found it is so interesting and I enjoy doing it. I use this blog as a medium to share my dreams, ideas even my fear with friends without worried about others will correct my mistake on the spot. By using blog, I feel save to express my feeling even my story via blog.

Besides of my first experience using blog, it also has the advantages that are very beneficial to us. Writing blog has brought interest for students to write. Students will feel excited about writing and this will improve their writing skill when they write everyday about their story and posting it in the blog. This is because, here they will not criticize on the spot and they can write freely without fear of others comment. In addition, it is so easy by using blog. From the educational aspect, student can change their opinion and sharing ideas with their peers by participate in the e-forum and join e-mail discussion groups. By join using blog, we also can make new friends with people around the world. Here also we can share our culture together about each country to enrich our common knowledge.

However, instead of advantage that we gain from blogging, there are also disadvantages of them. Blogging can be dangerous if someone posting, discuss or comment about something sensitive because blog is a kind of open journal which is everyone can see and read about it freely without any restrictions. Everything that we write and comment sometimes can be an issue without we realize it. So, we should beware of it. People, mostly teenagers like to put bad images or layout to their blog which is not a good thing for us as a student. So, we should behave because whatever we do will reflect what other people see.

Furthermore, the applications of blog do give a lot of benefits to me. When I’m using blog, it really reflect to my language and writing skill and give a lot of improvement in my study as I’m major in English study courses. I can improve my writing via the comments that I get from the others to my writing. Though I’m a bit scared to see my writing in the web but I try to think positive that no one will say ‘NO’, you are wrong here and there because I know that I always right here. In short, it helps me to gain and increases my confidence level in expressing my own personal view on something. Besides, blogging also help me to become more creative to create something nice at my blog such as putting songs, pictures and other images to make my blog become interesting to serve.

As a conclusion, I hope that I will use it even after I finished these courses later. Thanks to my lecturer for introduce kind of enjoyable thing to me, I really appreciate it. What we have learned, what we view will change what we have views!
