E-tivity 3

Being my first approach to this nowadays very widespread way of communicating with people, I'd say it didn't go that bad. Once you understand how it all works (although I think I'm still far from that) you even enjoy it. Most of all when you fully realise that it can be a chance of using English you had never come to consider.
The fact that many people read what you write makes you definetely more aware of mistakes. In fact, I pay much more attention if I know someone is going to read my posts, especially if my teacher is included. Obviously, I also read other people's posts so that whenever they use new words, I can write them down and I'm going to remember them more easily because I can associate them to a specific context.
As everything takes place on the internet, we have the chance to make the most of what this source offers, that is an incalculable number of stimuli and sources to learn new words and know more about the English "cultures". Just think about youtube or the e-books on google: whenever you need to practice your listening or reading skills, you just need a click on your computer. Blogging becomes part of all of this because you can access these sources much faster, share them with others (and use theirs) and keep training with your writing.
