Challenging, yet essential

Since my first English lesson, it was quite difficult for me to blog. I had never maintained a blog before, and I didn’t know how to post an entry or upload photos. Miss Rosa Zagal should have taught me how to maintain a blog. This was very funny because it took me an entire lesson until I fully understood; however, I ran out of time, and I could only type a few words. When I got used to the blog, I had another drawbacks that made this experience tedious.

While posting new entries, I didn’t know what to type. As I don t have a wide range of vocabulary, every time I wanted to type something, I had to look for online dictionaries to increase my vocabulary constantly, and this was quite boring too.

One of the many things I never liked about blogging was the subjects I had to talk about. I’m very shy and introverted person, and I had to talk about myself basically. This was embarrassing, because I had to share my personal life with my classmates: strangers that could read my blog whenever they want to. I think that is so shameful.

Sincerely, the entries I posted weren’t good at all. Along with my classmates, I started the English lesson at six p.m., after a long tiring study day; at that point, I am very exhausted. Every Thursday, I wake up at 5:45 a.m. to go to the university and fulfill my duties. So, when I sat in front of the computer to post a new entry, my mind was filled with tiredness, and I wished I could sleep. I didn’t want to type anything at all.

Besides, after a limited amount of time, we had to finish our assignment. I was always so tired, nervous, and it took me a lot of time to accomplish the assignment. Once I carried out it, I posted the demanded entry with the text I made.

Despite the aforementioned troubles to blog, at long last, I think this is a very effective way to increase the vocabulary and improve my English grammar. It’s a more dynamic and simple method than doing an English vocabulary test.

On the other hand, I discovered and acquired a new tool that may be very useful for me in my career as a journalist. Now, I can create my own blog, publish my own articles, or simply post an entry about any subject.

Finally, I would like to say that, If you don’t have a good command of a language like English, it is very hard to have correct writing. Nevertheless, the only way to learn is to practice and have the willpower. I hope I can write in English someday without having to look for translations, or English synonyms on Internet.
