MY EXAMPLE:

Today I am going to write about a career related website I enjoy visiting.

I am an English teacher and I try to use lots of authentic material in my classes. That's why I like The Guardian newspaper website. I think it's one of the best online newspaper because of its content and its ease of use.

It has many different sections. I mostly visit the News, International News and Sports but it also has great reviews and podcasts you can download.

It also has great Comments sections which lets you offer you opinion on the news and talk to other people who also have a comment to make.

I like this website because it is well-managed. It always works and it has great content.

Write about your favourite piece of technology.

Say:

What it is.
When you got it.
How you use it.
How often you use it.
Why you like it.
What life would be like without it.

- 130 words minimum.
- Include a picture. 
- Comment on at least 3 of your classmates’ blogs. 

I have a love/hate relationship with technology. I have a HD camera which I love and I've just bought a GoPro. On the other hand, I hate unnecessary technology such as plasma TVs and expensive phones. 

My favourite piece of technology is, without doubt, my MP3 player. I had a cassette Walkman when I was a child and the digital MP3 player is the perfect succession (MiniDisc and Discman were rubbish). 

I got it three years ago. I use it every day, especially on my bike. I want to get a waterproof one for when I go swimming. I listen to music and podcasts I download from the internet.
I like it because it are so simple and so useful, just like all good inventions should be. Life without it would definitely be more boring. I might have to start listening to my brain which could be dangerous. 

Post 2

Hello again.

This week you have two options:

• Band / Singer >>

- name
- what do you know about them?
- what type of music do they play?
- why do you like this artist/band?
- what's your favorite song? why?
- publish a picture or video
- 120 words minimum
- make 3 comments on your classmates posts.

• Concert/Exhibition >>

- what was it?
- when did you go?
- where was it?
- why did you like it?
- mention more details about it
- publish a related picture or video
- 120 words minimum
- make 3 comments on your classmates posts.

So. Here is my effort.

I'm going to talk about a band called Wire.

Wire, the band, are a punk band who made an incredible album called Pink Flag in 1977. I like it because it's the style of punk music that I most like; raw, fun and exciting. The songs are a real mix. Some are short and fast, others long and slow. But all are brilliant. And there are 21 songs on the album. EPIC!!

Choosing a favourite song is very difficult, maybe Dot-Dash, which I used when I made this video.It's so simple, and fun and silly and works perfectly.

As for a memorable concert or exhibition, hmm...

Probably the most memorable was a concert of The Libertines. It was my final night in England before flying to Chile, eight years ago. I was staying with my friend Tall John in London and we are both big fans of the Libertines. We went to see them play and it was one of the final gigs they did together as a band. The singer Pete Doherty is famously crazy and halfway through the set he kicked over an amp. and stormed off the stage. Two or three songs later he came back with his chest covered in blood. Fantastic.

Here's a great video of them playing one of my favourite songs.
