MY BLOG

My experience using blogs in this class was good and interesting because I never used this platform before or any webpage where I can express my opinions, thoughts or any what I want to write. About my writing skills I feel that I improved a lot, not too much in vocabulary – if I learned new words I forget it because I have a bad memory :( - but in the ability to write the things that I think faster than before (in English) and this is thanks to the practice so this is a good method used by the professors or the English Department for teach and is more creative than all the time doing exercise guides on paper.
