THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving is coming up. Many people take this time to thank God, but I think we should thank Him everyday of our lives. Share 3 things you are thankful for and tell us why.
SAMPLE:
1.I'm grateful I have a job. In fact I have three. I don't need to depend on anyone and I can pay my bills on time.
2. Everytime I see the horrible things that happen in other countries I thank God I am an American citizen. It may not be perfect but I'd rather be an American citizen than live in a communist country like Cuba where supposedly everyone is equal. Yeah right. Or live in an Arab country where women have no rights. Imagine, women in Egypt cannot drive or even go shopping!!
3. And above all I am thankful for my son. He is the light of my life. I had problems getting pregnant but the Lord answered my prayers. He sometimes drives me up a wall (haha) but he definitely makes me laugh. I am so proud of him. He's funny, intelligent, and very loving!
TASK: Be SPECIFIC about what you are thankful for (what and why). Remember it's THREE things.

WELCOME TO BLOGGING
Hi! Welcome to English 231. As part of the English class, we will be working on blogs. This will help you to practice your English in a different, and hopefully, a fun way. Every week you will be required to comment on my blog entries. Points will be given for your effort. No points will be deducted for errors. However, points will be deducted if entry is incomplete.
Remember, this is just another way to practice English. So do the entry by yourself. At the end of each blog, a due date will be posted. Each blog is worth 10 points. If the entry is late (up to 3 days), you will only get 5 points. Entries posted later than 3 days will NOT be counted.
