Instructions

Every Monday morning, I will post a topic on my blog, which you are reading these instructions from. Once you have read my topic, you will need to leave a comment on my page. However, this "comment" should be more than one sentence. It should be your response to the question I am posting on my blog. I would really like to encourage you all to try to write as much as you can. Although I would like for you to write as much as you can, please do not spend more than 30 minutes writing them.

If you read a comment from your classmates that you find to be interesting, feel free to comment to them as well! Lets try to make this as interactive via the Internet as possible. Your responses and comments will need to be completed by 8:00 p.m. each Friday that a blog topic is posted. There will be no exception! Therefore, plan on completing this assignment before the Friday deadline in order to ensure that you receive full credit, which will be 10 points for each week.

On a final note, these blogs are intended to be fun and to allow you to further practice writing in English in a variety of avenues. Be adventurous and express yourselves! Although we may occasionally use some of your blog entries for grammar practice, these blogs are primarily focused on content. Have fun!!

    1. It must be difficult being away from your family. Since your family is what makes you happy, does this mean that you are unhappy and sad these days? I hope not!

  6. I've realized that being happy is a choice. You never want to rub anybody the wrong way or not be fun to be around, but you have to be happy. so, I'm happy, and I think being happy keeps you looking young, and my advice for all my friends that the only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are.
    I think by being happy it actually affects the way that you look too !!

  13. I think that I could always count on my family and friends

    because I feel that to draw comfort from my family and friends

    sometimes I feel happy when I’m with my friends.

    So I dislike being away from my family and friends.

    Nevertheless I want to study harder.
