Week 1; Rules for blogging ; 13-17.09 2010
1. Please, no last names, school names or addresses.
2. Do not link to your personal blog/journal from your school blog; you might reveal information on there that you don't want to reveal on your school blog.
3. If you want to write your opinion on a topic, make sure you're not going to be offensive to anyone as you write it.
4. Always make sure you check over your post for spelling errors, grammar errors, and your use of words.
5. Never disrespect someone else in your blog, whether it's a person, an organization, or just a general idea. You don't want someone making a stab at what you are passionate about; don't do it to someone else.
6. Don't write about other people without permission; if you can't get their permission, use first names only. Never share someone elses last name.
7. Watch your language! We're not at home, we are at school, this has to be at least remotely professional looking.
8. Make sure things you write about are factual. Don't be posting about things that aren't true.
9. Keep it education-oriented. That means that you probably shouldn't discuss your plans for the weekend.

If we look at films in English, we learn to communicate more easily with those of other countries in English. We can also learn from documentation in English about the customs and people in Britain and other countries where English is fluent.

ReplyDeleteThese ways to learn English are very good. Some of these methods are already applied, like number 13. Another way to learn English is to play games in English.This language is very useful especially if you go abroad, because you have to talk with people in English.
