Blogging Experience

This is my first time to take the course of "Internet English". In the begining, I fee it may be an interesting class. In this class, we learn how to use internet to creat a Blog? I just create a Chinese Blog before. So it's very intereting for me. Our teacher Emma wants us using blog and chat room to improve our English skills.
I think the two ways are useful for me. First, we have to create our blog. Emma asks us to post some English articles. For example: My introduction, online dictionaries, search ESL/EFL resources....! Because my blog's lauguage is in English. I type some words in English to introduce myself. And I also read the English articles. So I feel it's a good way for me to improve my English skills. It helps me a lot.
Second, our teacher Emma wants us using chat room to talk with our group members. In the beginning, I was so nervous. I didn't know how to say somethinkg in English. Although my typing is very fast, but we just use very simple words to chat. It's so funny. We use English to talk more than 20 minutes. It's amazing. I think it's a good way to improve my English skills well.


After I learned how to create a blog. I design my blog for more colorful. I try to put pictures on my introduction. Write some articles on blog. I also find some interesting movie and introduce it. I learned how to put the music on my blog. It's not difficult, but it will spend a lot of time. But actually "Blog" is very interesting, your must try it!

When our classmates present their blog. I feel some people do their blog very cute. For example, Melissa' Blog. She use a picture, the rabbit, when you view her blog, the rabbit will follow the mouse. It's so cute. And she uses "background music",
you can choose music when you view her blog. I like it. And Angeline's Blog has something special. The bear clock is so cute, and her backgound music is very good. I think these features I have to learn.

When I create my blog, I have some problem with my blog. The "HTML" is so difficult. Sometimes maybe I post a picture on my blog. But when I open it, I can't see the picture. Or If I post a video or music. The "HTML" I search for a long time. But when I post them. It shows that your HTML is not suport them. It is the most difficult for me. Make me crazy....><"

Describe My Blog

Hello, welcome to my blog. My blog's name is "Rabbit Home". Because my nickname is Rabbit. So I use "Rabbit Home" for my blog.

There are many topic in my blog. First, you can see my introduction. I put a picture about myself, and use a few words to introduce myself in English. Then, you can see Online Dictionaries. It includes three English-Chinese and three English-English dictionaries. You can use them to improve your English ability. Next is ESL/EFL resources. It is a resource about English. There are many information about English. I think it's very useful. And next topic is my "Weblog". Suppose that I am doing research about the weblog. I will use what ways to be useful English teachinkg and learning. Next is "English News". Teacher asks me to find a article. Set up URL. And if the word is too difficult. You can connect it to dictionary. I also put a video to show you. The movie named "Trust the Man". Then I will show you my favorite song. "The day you went away". The singer is "M2M". It an old song, but I like its cantus very much. Next, you can see the 3 interesting website. I recommend the "English Song". It's a weblite that has music and lyric. It includes many English old songs. For example: Big Big world is my favorite song.Then, it our chatting room with my group members. We use English to talk. It's a very interesting experience for me. Next is my "No Name Album". I put many pictures and articles in it. Finally, I want show you two videos. First one is my "Piano Presentation". Second one is my group member Doris sings a song "Fire Bird". It's so funny and interesting.

It's my blog "Rabbit Home". Thank you.

Chatting Experience

I have some chatting experiences before. When I was 16 years old, it's my first time to chat room. But it is a Chinese chat room. So it is easy for me to talk. In chat room, you have to use an ID to enter. And choice your age, gender, and where you live? After you entered these details, you may have to wait a moment. Then, maybe somebody will talk to you. But I think that if you are a girl, maybe boys are more want to talk to you than girls. It's my experience.

There are something interesting for me in chat room. For example, I remember one day, I enter the chat room at school. A boy talks to me. He is older than me 5 years old. He is serving in the army. At the beginning, I don't know how to ask him question? So we just ask each other's height, weight, age, hobby, even asterism. I feel very interesting. We have the same hobby. He likes to watch basketball game.
And I like, too. And we have a topic very much. He also told me about his family or life in the army. I feel it's a happy chatting experience for me. Then we leave e-mail for each other. Maybe we can be good friends.

But I also have some bad chatting experience. Sometimes, I went to chat room. Somebody are strange. They ask some embarrassing questions. For example, what is your three measurements? Have you ever seen the "A" video? May I follow one night stand with you? It makes me feel really disgusting. I think chat room is a place that you can share your happy or sad with other. You can release your motion and make friends here.

In this semester, we have a course "Internet English". Our teacher Emma asks us to have an experience of English chatting with our group members. She asks us have to chat for 20 minutes. I think O MY GOD. It's impossible for me. But teacher says "try it". We use MSN to chat with my group members. Our group members are Anna, Melissa, Doris, Joyce, Amanda, Andrea. I'm so nervous. Because my grammar is very bad. Everyone use English name for their ID. At beginning, we just use simple words, like how are you? Fine, thanks. Ok. Sometimes your will see the "Chinese type English". But we all understand the meaning. We talk a lot of things about school life. Even our grammar is wrong, but I am very happy in the chatting room. It's a special experience for me. Because this is my first time to chat with other people in English.
It helps me a lot. Thank you my teacher Emma. I'm very enjoying this class.
