After I Blogging

The first unit of this course is about to end, and I have a total new experience about my English writing. As an international student, I never write some articles online shared by others. And to be honest, I am a little nervous about my blogging at first, because I think I may misunderstand the author’s ideas, and my writing is actually not very well. The most challenging part for me is the first time I blogged, because when I sat in front of the computer, I just did not know what to write. However, after several times blogging, I think that I am becoming much more comfortable to blog now, which surprises me a lot. I am really interested in sharing opinions with Americans, because I am curious about the various thoughts from different cultural backgrounds. And it is much more convenient for me to know others’ opinions based on the same article by simply going through their posts.

What's more, when I wanted to post a blog, I had to thought about the issue carefully and I also need to come up with my own opinions about it instead of just summarying the content. I wanted to show my classmates my thoughts about the issue and my understanding about the author's opinion and get their feedback. For example, when I read Harris' rewriting, there are some place that I could not understand, so I thought about it and then wrote them down in my blog posts. This process really focus me to clam down to think about it.

I think my habit will change a lot after this blogging experience. Initially, I do not like to write any comment after I read some articles online, for the reason that it seems strange for me to write opinions reviewed by someone else I don’t know. However, I am willing to do now. What’s more, by reviewing blogs online, I find that people blog because they want share something happened around them or their opinions with others. I can feel a mother blogger’s happiness by seeing the picture in the blog about her son. And as a new literature form in this digital age, blog is very popular now, and I will blog more in the future.
