week 6 post 14

I'm amazed by how many people choose to write in their blogs when English teachers have struggled to get students to write. Maybe it's because people can write (even anonymously if they want) what they want to write as in personal diaries, to pen pals or secret pals.
The 3 searches brought up different numbers of entries, of course, and some professional, informal or photo allowing responses. I don't understand why people would want to be published all over the world(claiming), but I guess everybody wants to "write the all-American novel" as authors of published books do.
It was interesting to note that some entries or responses were in foreign languages--a great opportunity to practice your language skills.
