How to Keep Improving Your English via Writing English Blogs?
We'll discuss this topic in several aspects.
Why blogs?As Blog has become a fad in modern life, it has become a prevailing phenomenon to write blogs ranging from celebrities to ordinary people. Meanwhile, English is an important tool in the 21st century. As a result, English Blog,a combination of blog and English-learning comes forth and brings benefits for those Chinese who are eager to learn English well.
There are many advantages of writing English blogs.
To start with, blog is a public place where English-learning is extended from class to daily life. Therefore, people can spend their time on English learning according to their schedule and wish, and acquire more opportunities to learn and use English.
Second, blog is an interactional tool via which people are able to communicate with each other, encourage their friends, learn from others, and exchange information with others. It's quite convenient and effective.
Third, bloggers will have a feeling of being recognized if their space is visited by others. They can be motivated to keep writing. Furthermore, owing to the interaction, they will find friends with the same interests. Thus their interest of learning English is further aroused.
In all, writing English blogs to improve one's English has become a trend.
How to use DioEnglish?After I registered in DioEnglish for a while, I found it is a nice place for Englsih lovers. This website has some distinct characteristics:
Blog parts: writing daily, weekly or monthly English blogs, frequently updating miniblogs, and uploading photoes.
Group activities:you can create an interest group, to name some,“ Finding English Partners”, “Favourite Movies”,“Favourite Sports” , and so on, and then post a thread, like “Love or Money, which is more important?”,“What are you most proud of?.After this, you will find a flood of replies from other registers and you can discuss your confused questions with them; you can also share your recommended website with your friends; In addition, there are some English radios in this web so that you can train your ears and get the lattest news from all over the world; what’s more, some online games are available for you to have fun with your friends.
DioWiki learning:The most attrative part in DioEnglish for me is DioWiki. It’s an English Wikipedia, which includes all kinds of information about English learning. For people who like to optimize the vocabulary entries, they can make full use of it, to enrich their words, to broad their horizon and to digest good articles.
As blog is a public place, your work will be seen and be replied.Others can make friends with your.They can encourage you, comfort you, make suggestions for you,discuss hot topics with you and exchange opinions with you.
What to write?It is researched that people have a resolution to learn and write, but have no idea about what to write.Most people write about daily occurrences several times a month; some write whenever they feel like to. A large number of people prefer to share interesting or useful English learning materials.
It's quite normal that when you sit in front of a computer, and then your brain just goes blank: having nothing to say, to write. Today just like other days,nothing interesting has happened. However, we should find topics to write.The most common topics are events that happen in our daily life.We can write about persons in our life, put forward a discussion, announce your decision or plan, recall your memory, and pour out your emotion and love story.
From the messages from DioEnglish users, some suggested to write Chinese domestic news, science essays, lyrics, poems and something you’re really interested in:love,business,campus,friends,education,daily life,moods and so on.
I suggest that while we write our daily life, we may pay more attention to current affairs in order to improve our English level. Starting from your interest, you can choose a topic from politics, business, culture, education, and sport to medicine, science, and fashion. Reading newspaper or listening to the radio to find the freshest information and get your inspiration. For some hot topic, you can write your opinion and invite your friends to join your discussion, like a silent debate. Then we will have a lot to say on our English blog.
For people who are interested in different hobbies and goals, they can form different groups to talk with each other, to encourage each other and to urge each other to keep writing. For students, they have the best environment and their teacher can be the perfect person to guide them to write. Teachers can give them a topic each week or organize some competitions for their students online.
How to improve?In order to improve the quality of your writing, I have three suggestions:
1. To read more:including classic novels, essays and other people’s English blog, to make contrast, to learn their merits and correct both their and your faults.
2. To make more friends online. They can help you and communicate with you about your writing, give you some good ideas. The more friends you make, the more comments you will receive from others and the greater you will improve your writing.
3. To keep learning:to learn foreign culture, to enlarge your vocabulary, to foster your English thinking, and to accumulate good sentences and expressions.
For all the people who want to keep improving English via English blog, my experience is leaving your footprints on others’ homepage frequently and comment on others’ writings as much as possible.While learning from others, you will find that most people will step back on your homepage and read your article, so that you won't feel depressed when few people comment on your works. Different people will leave different words to you; you can pick up those good for you and make progress. In a nutshell, you are both a receicer and contributor for this website.
I’m sure you will get satisfaction after your “work” for DioEnglish.
I hope all the English learners who want to learn English well can keep writing, and make improvement every day!
為什么選擇博客?
隨著博客成為現代生活中的一種時尚,從名人到平民百姓,擁有一個自己的博客已經成為一種極為普遍流行的現象。與此同時,英語早已成為21世紀一樣必不可少的交流工具。因此,英語博客—博客與英語學習的結合產物誕生了,這為渴望學好英語的中國國民帶來了福音。
寫英語博客的好處多多:
第一, 博客具有開放性,將英語學習由課內延伸到了課外。因此,人們能夠更自由的支配學習英語的時間,有更多的機會與英語親密接觸。
第二, 博客的交互性,使得人們可以有效便捷地自由交談,互相鼓勵,互相學習以及交換資源信息。
第三, 博客的團隊性。通過訪問他人的博客,每個人都得到一種認同感,從而激勵用戶堅持用英語寫日志。不僅如此,用戶會逐漸找到一些志趣相同的朋友,一起學習,一起進步。
總之,寫英語博客已經一個學習英語的必然趨勢。
我在DioEnglish注冊了有一段時間了,通過親身體驗,我發現這里的確是一個英語愛好者的好地方。這個網站有許多與眾不同的優點:
不必說大家都知道的英語日志部分,上傳照片板塊,你還可以寫迷你博客,這是一種更隨意的日記,你可以隨時記錄下自己想說的一兩句話;你可以創建一個興趣小組,例如“尋找英語學習搭檔小組”,“最喜歡的電影小組”,“最喜歡的體育項目小組”,等等,你可以在組內發起話題,比如“愛情與金錢,哪個更重要?”,“你最值得驕傲的是什么?”,等等,之后,你會發現許多用戶會參與到你的討論當中來,你可以與他們大談特談自己的困惑;除此之外,該網站還有在線的英語廣播,你可以收聽到來自世界各地最新的廣播節目;不僅如此,網站還有一些好玩的在線游戲,供好友們一起娛樂。最與眾不同的部分要數英語百科了。這是一個英語愛好者的維基百科,包攬了所有種類的英語學習資料。對于那些想給自己充電的朋友來說,他們可以好好利用這里的資源,豐富單詞量,開闊視野,吸收好的文章。
在我的調查研究過程種,我發現許多人抱著想學好英語的志向開通了英語博客,然而,寫了幾天或者幾周之后,就放棄了。原因多種多樣,有些太忙而沒空更新,有些不知寫些什么,大多數用戶記錄的是每天發生的事情,有點像我們平時隨筆寫的日記,他們能夠堅持寫下去。有些每天一篇,更多的人只是在有的可說的時候寫英語日志。有很大一部分人在做“轉帖”的工作,將自己在其他網站看到的好的內容轉發在自己的英語博客里面,這類用戶渴望被關注,他們也有決心想學好英語,但是卻不知道寫什么,怎么去寫,以此,他們只能靠復制-粘貼來更新自己的英語博客了。
有些由于自己的作品無人問津而沮喪失望。通過調查問卷,用戶表示,他們需要更多的知識儲備,更多的練習機會,他們打心底想要堅持寫下去。
客觀來說,大多數人都不可能每天都有的可說,事實上每天的生活都充滿精彩也是不可能的。然而,我們必須找到一些話題來引導用戶們寫英語博客。除了最常見的話題—日常生活中發生的事情外加自己的一些評注以外,我們還可以寫自己生活中重要的人,可以提出一個話題供大家討論,可以發表你的決心和計劃讓他人監督,可以寫一些回憶性的文章,還可以將你的心情、你的愛情故事寫給大家。
由于博客是一個公開的場所,每個人的作品都呈現在我們面前可供人們評論,當人們看到你的文章,并與你產生共鳴的時候,他們會與你成為網絡上的摯友,他們能夠鼓勵你,安慰你,給你提意見建議,與你討論熱點問題,交換觀點等等。
通過DioEnglish的消息功能,我還給一定量的用戶發了站內信息做了調查。根據他們回復發現,用戶建議可以寫一些國內外發生的重大事件以及個人評論,科普類文章,歌詞,詩歌,個人真正感興趣的東西,經濟問題,校園生活,情感,朋友,教育,日常生活,心情等等,其他人的回復顯示人他們仍然對該寫些什么感到苦惱,需要靈感與他人的指點。
我的個人建議是,除了寫些日常生活以外,我們應該多關注時事,以此來提高英語水平。從你的興趣出發,你可以從政治,經濟,文化,教育,體育,醫藥,科學,時尚等等從中選出自己喜歡的方面來寫。不論選擇了哪方面,關鍵都在于要多讀報,多聽廣播,從而可以獲取更多最新的信息,獲得靈感。對于一些熱點問題,你可以寫下自己的觀點,和網絡上的朋友們一起討論,這就像一個無聲的辯論,一定很有意思。這樣一來,我們在英語博客中就不愁沒話說了。
為了提高寫作的質量,我有三點建議。
第一,多讀,包括經典著作,時文,以及他人的英語日志,從而學習他人的有點,發現他人的錯誤避免自己再犯。
第二,多在網絡上交朋友。這些朋友都是對英語充滿熱情的人,他們可以幫助你,與你交流有關英語寫作的經驗,給你一些新的想法。你的網站內朋友越多,回復你英語日志的人也會越多,你從他人那里學到的也會越多,從而你的英語寫作水平會飛速提高。
第三,不斷學習。學習外國文化,擴大詞匯量,培養英語思維,積累好的表達,這些都是非常重要的。
根據對DioEnglish上100位用戶的調查,我得到了一個關于用戶寫日志更新頻率的表格:
盡管能夠堅持每天寫日志的用戶占了很大一部分,但這其中包括轉發他人帖子的日志,剛開博客不久新鮮勁還沒散去的新用戶,以及的的確確一直堅持,每天在寫日志的老用戶。有些人,在博客剛開通不久的一段時間內能夠坐到經常更新,但隨著時間推移,他們更新的頻率越來越慢 其結果是這一部分人的更新頻率平均值比較低。對于不同興趣愛好的朋友來說,他們可以形成不同的小組,討論自己的所好。對于學生,他們擁有最好的學習環境—學校,而老師是他們最好的英語學習導師。老師可以每周給學生一個話題 可以組織學生在網站上進行一些比賽。對于所有想通過英語博客提高自己英語水平的人來說,我的經驗是,多多去踩別人的空間主頁,多瀏覽他人發表的文章并留下自己的評論,在學習了他人的長處的同時,你會發現,大多數你訪問過的人都會來回訪你的頁面,讀你寫的文章。如此一來,你的人氣提高了,給你的寫作提意見的人也多了起來,你必定會在這個過程中得到提高。
總之,在DioEnglish上,你既是受益者,也是貢獻者。我相信,你會在這里得到成就感與滿足感。
最后,希望所有英語學習者都能夠堅持英語寫作,天天進步!
