Here we go again!

Hello!
We are back in business, and it's time to start writing on our blogs. I hope that you are all ready for the two semesters of hard work and fun, in good proportion. Try to keep up with your blogging, so that you would not have to write too much at a time, because it becomes more and more difficult to return if you are far behind. Here is my advice: Decide which day in a week, and what time, will be the best for your blog work and try to stick to it. Sometimes it is difficult to decide: NOW is the time. If you make that choice for the whole semester, it will be much easier to write regularly and avoid a backlog of work.

If you have problems finding topics for your writing, think of some recent events in the week or during your day. Sometimes small things may lead you to very interesting ideas and reflections. Try to look out for things to write about: when somebody says something that moves you or upsets you, try to make a mental note like "this is a good issue to write about on the blog ". After you have written your post, please read it carefully before publishing it. This way you will eliminate a lot of errors and will make your writing easier to read. If you realize that you've made a mistake after publishing your post, you can always come back to the editor and make the necessary changes.

Make sure you read what other students write and leave your comments to show that you have been there. Do not limit yourselves to reading your closest friends' blogs. You may find new soulmates through reading blogs written by students you hardly know! Believe me, you will be surprised how little you know about one another.

So, I hope you will enjoy our little project and use this opportunity to improve your English in a creative and engaging way. 
Have fun blogging! :)
