I like to get to know my students and for my students to get to know me a little bit. So in this first writing assignment, all you have to do is complete the sentences with information about yourself. For each sentence mention three things. Here are the sentences:
1. I enjoy _____________.
2. I would never ___________.
3. I'm afraid of ___________.
4. I hate ___________.
5. I would like to ______________.
Example:
1. I enjoy dancing salsa and merengue, playing word games, and reading.
2. I would never go bungee jumping, travel to Irak, or cut my hair really short.
3. I'm afraid of losing my child, having a disease, and big creepy roaches especially when they fly.
4. I hate waiting in line, being stood up, and tailgaiters.
5. I would like to go on a cruise, learn how to scuba dive, and live in an apartment with an ocean view.
Task: Now that you've learned something about me, it's your turn. Be creative. Be specific. ALSO MAKE AT LEAST ONE COMMENT ABOUT WHAT I WROTE.

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.
