Comments about Blogging
When you present today, you will not have a paper with you. Just talk about blogging in English. Remember what you can. If you don't remember everything, it's OK. - 10/21/2020

In two years of seminars, I posted eight times about fish dishes. My hobby is blogging in English [Really?], so I can enjoy learning. while blogging There are a few things I was careful about when I posted fish dishes on my blog. The first is to use nice photos. I concentrated on choosing photos that made people want to make this fish dish. Next, in order to make fish dishes easy to understand, I was conscious of summarizing them briefly without writing many details. And finally, I tried to select unknown fish and introduce them. By doing so, you can become interested in fish that you don't usually see. I realized that it is also important to learn how to blog in English considering the feelings of readers. I think blogging is a tool that allows you to study while enjoying English because you can acquire vocabulary and writing skills.
My favorite blog is (Spanish Mackerel). This fish dish is the number one dish I want everyone to try at least once. It's hard to get this fish in a fresh condition, and it's delicious enough to be called number one. I really thought about how to introduce this delicious taste, and I really enjoyed posting it in English. I still have a lot of fish dishes, so I would like to continue blogging.

Last year I wrote five blog posts on movies, and this year I wrote three blog posts on food in America, for a total of eight blog posts. I learned how to blog and upload images for the first time. Last year's I learned a lot about my favorite movies through my blog, and I also discovered new things by watching them again. I tried my best to find images that would be easy to understand and interesting for the readers of the blogs. For example, I placed a photo with the title of the blog at the top of the page so that it would have an impact, and I took photos of food so that it would look delicious.
At first, I had a hard time writing the introduction in a compact and easy-to-understand manner. As I wrote, I was constantly learning similar words, so my vocabulary improved while I was writing the blog. I also used a computer to write my blog, so I was able to get better at typing. For me, blogging became a fun new way to learn English in addition to watching music and movies. The best layout of the restaurant's details and images was Creole Chicken at Troubadour.

Last year I blogged about horror movies and this year I blogged about my favorite movie actors. Both blogs were related to my hobby of movies, and I posted five and three articles respectively. Because the topics were about my favorite things, I was able to learn English while having fun.
There are three things I have learned from blogging: first, how to create a blog. This time I used blogger, so even a beginner like me could easily create my original URL and design. The second is vocabulary. Before learning this topic, I used to study new words in vocabulary books and textbooks provided by my school. However, this time I was able to study on a topic of my choice, so I was able to learn many practical words and their usages. The third is how to create a blog that is easy for readers to understand. There are many things that cannot be conveyed by text alone. In such cases, you can include photos. I also learned that if the topic was movies like mine, I could insert videos.
While it is important to learn English using academic books and materials, I think it is also important to use blogs and social networking services like the one I created this time to refresh myself if I get stuck. I hope to continue to find a learning method that suits me so I can keep enjoying English. study

Kosuke - 10/17/2022
I made eight posts on two blogs between this year and last year. Last year, my blog was about the professional baseball players I wanted to introduce, and this year my blog was about video games I wanted people to see.
When creating posts, I placed importance on what kind of content would make the sentences and expressions easy for the reader to understand. I have progably never written such long sentences in English before. Among them, I was particularly conscious of line breaks and the number of characters in order to create a blog that was easy for readers to understand. In my blog, I wrote sentences by judging the scenes where line breaks are necessary and the scenes where they are not necessary. Too much text in one paragraph can get boring and make people stop reading. Many line breaks like in Japanese are bad form when writing English sentences.
Finally, by writing blogs, I think my English writing skills have improved significantly compared to before. It remains to be seen how this skill will be used in my future work. However, I think it was a valuable experience that I was able to find various ways to communicate by thinking about expressions that can be understood by the reader.
The post that I think I did the best is the length of the sentences that I don't get tired of by devising the placement of photos and line breaks. And I was able to convey exactly what I wanted to convey. I chose this post because I thought. [?] Kosuke's Video Games Blog: 7月 2022 (kosukevideogames.blogspot.com) [This is not the post link.]

I posted eight reviews of Leonardo DiCaprio’s movies last year and this year. There are a few things I have been careful about when I write blog posts. I was careful not to include spoilers in the summary and I tried to write the story succinctly. I added at least four pictures of the movie scenes to one post. Also, I added movie scenes, trailers and theme songs from YouTube videos. In this way, I designed my blog to make readers want to watch the movies I introduced in the blog.
I feel that writing a blog has helped me improve my English. Through blogging, I was able to learn basic blog creation method, increase my vocabulary, improve my writing skills and learn correct grammar.
My favorite blog post is “Gilbert Grape”. I like the story, actors and soundtracks of this movie. I was able to put these together into a blog well. This blog was about my love Leo, so I enjoyed writing posts. I think I was able to finish a blog that was satisfactory enough. I think blogging in English is a good way to improve your English ability. If I have an opportunity, I would like to write a blog in English again.

Mei Saito - 10/17/2022
I am a college student writing a blog for the first time. A blog is not only text, but also a photo and a layout that must be structured to make it easy for others to read. I had never written a blog in Japanese before, so I was worried about whether I would be able to write well in English, but I improved by writing many times. Writing a blog in English will definitely help you grow in your writing skills. You can improve not only your writing skills but also your composition skills. I wrote a blog about manga and movies. The words that came up a lot in those blogs were "however" and "but". Both of these words mean "しかし" in Japanese, but they are used differently. "However" is basically a word that comes at the beginning of a sentence, while "but" can be used in the middle of a sentence. If you don't know this kind of knowledge, you will be thought to be unknowledgeable when you enter the workforce. Therefore, I felt that I gained a lot of knowledge through the experience of writing the blog.

Saki - 10/17/2022
I made eight blog posts in two years. In my blogs, I introduced café recommendations. I like visiting cafes, so it was a lot of fun to write a blog on my favorite theme.
I tried to keep things simple in my blogging. For example, I placed pictures alternately on the left and right side of the page to make it look clear and easy to read paragraph by paragraph. At first, I didn't know how to write a blog and it took me a lot of time to write one post, but as I wrote more and more, I developed my own blogging style and was able to write blogs the way I wanted in a short time. I also learned a lot of English expressions and vocabulary through blogging. Since I was writing about cafes, I often wrote expressions and impressions about food, drinks, and the atmosphere of the store, so I was able to learn those English expressions in particular.
Writing a blog in English is a great way to learn English because it is not easy to write a blog, but you can have fun learning English and improving your writing skills by posting about things that interest you.

Kanae - 10/17/2022
I wrote eight blog posts in two years. I wrote about movies both last year and this year. I liked watching movies, so I had a lot of fun blogging. Also, I was happy to be able to recommend the movies I saw and liked. My favorite blog post is "The Bucket List". Because it's my favorite movie and it's a very touching film that makes me think about life.(https://kanaemovie.blogspot.com/2021/11/the-bucket-list.html?m=1)
When I started blogging, it was very difficult and I didn't know what to write. Also, I didn't know how far to explain the story. But as I blogged, I found out what information I needed. Also, the content of the movie doesn't tell the ending, so I can write it so that I can tell what kind of movie it is. Also, considering the arrangement of photos and the balance of letters, I have come to think about what I should do to make a better blog. Now I can express my thoughts and expressions in movies in English. Not only can you study English through movies, but you can also learn important things in life and learn many ways of thinking. I think it's very good because I can study English while watching my favorite movies. From now on, I would like to watch more movies to learn English and learn about foreign cultures.

Hiyori Saishin - 10/17/2022
Over the past two years, I have written a total of eight blogs about recommended places and people in Okazaki City in Aichi Prefecture and Yokosuka City in Kanagawa Prefecture. I wrote about various places such as parks, islands, cafes, and restaurants.
Blogging is not just about writing words and adding photos, so it was difficult at first. I wrote a blog for the first time and learned a lot of things. For example, not only do need to you take pictures beautifully, but there are useless areas in the photos that can be cropped, and if you don't think about how to take pictures, your blog will look bad. Also, the placement of photos and text will look different depending on the device you use to view the blog, such as a computer or mobile phone, so it is important to check how it looks many times. Also, since I will introduce the blog to people who have never been there, I need to look up the correct information to include the location, directions, opening and closing times, and various other details. I think that not only the structure of the blog, but also writing the blog in English has improved my English and typing skills.
In my sample blog post, I introduced Manpukuya in Okazaki City, from a post one year ago.. Out of all the posts I've posted so far, the size and arrangement of the photos were the best, and I think I could feel the charm of the restaurant.

Marina - 10/16/2022
I made eight blog posts on my blog in two years. Last year and this year, my blog topic was movie reviews. I've been watching movies since I was young, so this topic suited me well. I'm happy to be able to introduce readers to movies that I love.
I had no experience creating blogs, so I learned a lot through the Blogging in English Seminar. At first, I had no idea how to post and create blogs, but now I can do everything by myself. Also, I learned about editing photos, editing sentences (html), arranging photos and sentences, and information needed to write reviews. I had never written movie reviews before, so it was an opportunity to understand movies more deeply and I learned a lot of new vocabulary and grammar.
I feel that my writing and speaking skills have improved through blogging, and I have acquired the ability to write sentences and edit photos that are easy for everyone to understand. This kind of experience will be very useful for me in the future. I hope that I will have the opportunity to communicate things I love in English from now on.

Kami - 10/16/2022
I wrote about Vietnamese foods and my favorite singers in my two blogs. I made nine posts in two years. I learned some vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and so on. I think blogging helped me improve my English writing skills. I couldn’t write English well in the beginning, but I could write English better and longer as I wrote my blogs. I also think Blogging helped me learn about online posting. I didn’t know blogger in Google before, but now I can paste videos links such as YouTube and can easily create my own blog. Everything was new and interesting, but it is difficult for me to adjust the font size of characters.

Kanako - 10/16/2022
In two years of seminar classes, I made two blogs. I created five TV drama review blog posts last year and three restaurant review blog posts this year, for a total of eight blog posts. I learned more about these topics by blogging about them. In my TV drama review blog, I learned how to write a synopsis. I also learned how to take pictures and write sentences for my restaurant review blog. My favorite blog post is “MIU404”, because it is my favorite drama.
When I first started blogging, I had a hard time figuring out how to write a blog, but through blogging, I have learned what information to write and how to make it more readable, and I feel that I am able to write better blogs. I also learned about html, photo editing, and how to make links, all of which will be useful knowledge for my online postings. Since I was using a computer, I was able to practice my typing skills. I feel that blogging has improved my English, as I have learned vocabulary, grammar, and useful collocations that I can use on a daily basis. I feel that not only have my writing and typing skills improved though blogging, but I have also learned a lot about online posting.

Miu - 10/13/2022
In the Blogging in English Seminar, I introduced five recommended restaurants and cafes. However, due to the coronavirus, chances to eat out decreased, so I changed the theme the following year. In the Lifelong English Seminar, I introduced three of my favorite Korean movies and dramas.
Until now, I had a feeling that I was not good at writing English sentences, and I thought that I could not write 200 words. However, as I continued to write, I learned similar phrases and words, and gradually got used to writing. Since it was my first time blogging, I had a lot of questions, such as how to arrange photos, which template would be good, and how to paste videos in links. For example, in last year's restaurants and cafes posts, I had a hard time taking pictures, thinking about how to make the food look delicious and how to convey the atmosphere of the shop. In this year's movies and dramas posts, I struggled with how to convey the synopsis in a compact and easy to understand manner.
I think blogging in English is a good way to learn English because I can learn new words and phrases while writing about things I love.

Nana - 10/13/2022
I wrote a total of eight blog posts in two years. The theme was reviews of restaurants and cafés that I visited. Many of these are my favorite restaurants and cafes. Through my blogging for about two years, I have learned a lot of things. First of all, I learned how to write a basic blog. When I wrote a blog for the first time, I didn’t even know what to write and how to write it. But now, I learned what kind of information I had to write basically on a blog. Also, I learned how to upload images and how to place them to look neat and make my blog interesting. And also, by researching the restaurants and cafes to write a blog post, I was able to learn about the history of the places and various information about the restaurants and cafes that I had never known before. Then by writing them in English on my blog, I was able to learn a lot of new vocabulary and expressions. So I think blogging was good experience for me, and helped me to develop my English skills and typing skills. These skills will be useful for my job in the future.
Among my blog posts, I would like to mention the post of “Tokyo Taiwan” that I posted last year. I think this post was the best among my blog posts because of the atmosphere of the restaurant, reports on food, impressions, and photo selections.

Mei Sato - 10/12/2022
I posted blogs on different topics last year and this year. Last year, I introduced my favorite movies and dramas on my blog. This year, I introduced my favorite fashion brands on my blog. I posted a total of 8 times. I learned a lot about posting. When introducing the movies, I tried to avoid spoilers and thought of sentences that would interest everyone. I can't write great blogs if I don't know much about the movies, so I did a lot of research on directors and movies. Also, the genres of my favorite movies deal with crime and violence, and they are full of words that I don't usually study. So, everything felt fresh, and by learning the language, it was easier for me to understand listening to movies. And when I post my favorite fashion blogs, I also carefully choose the blog photos to convey the charm. Nowadays, we do a lot of things online, so I think that getting used to the operation method and typing faster will be useful for many things. I can continue posting on Google Blogger even after graduating, so I can continue to learn by writing continuously.

Also, the genres of my favorite movies deal with crime and violence, and they are full of words that I don't usually study. So, everything felt fresh, and by learning the language, it was easier for me to understand listening to movies. And when I post my favorite fashion blogs, I also carefully choose the blog photos to convey the charm. Nowadays, we do a lot of things online, so I think that getting used to the operation method and typing faster will be useful for many things. I can continue posting on Google Blogger even after graduating, so I can continue to learn by writing continuously.
Moeka - 10/20/2022
I created eight blog posts in about two years. The theme for the second year is to introduce recommended food in tourist spots. I mainly write about Kansai because I live in Kanto and my grandma's house is in Osaka. I want everyone to want to eat the things I introduce, so the layout is an attempt to be bright. Every time I write a blog, I remember the taste and want to eat the item again.
I think I acquired writing skills by creating a blog. Until now, I didn't realize my lack of skills because I didn't have the opportunity to write long English sentences. I realized that it is very difficult to think of sentences. In addition, creating a blog is not only about English skills, but you can also acquire the ability to create layouts with attactive photos.
At first blogging was difficult, but now I enjoy creating blogs. It's not easy, but I think it's a great way to improve your English skills because you can write about whatever topic you like. Also, I think that you will naturally acquire not only English ability but also the ability to create sentences. My English skills are still immature, but it is certain that daily blogging has become my body [?].

Kiseki - 10/20/2022
I wrote a blog about manga three times this year. This was my first time writing a blog, but it was interesting because I summarized my favorite things. I have learned a lot through blogging. For example, I learned how to explain when the manga I introduced was serialized. Another thing I learned was how to write so that my readers would be interested in it. I think that my English ability has improved a little by writing a blog. For example, I learned some useful phrases and some new words. I think blogging will be effective for my SNS and digital society in the future. To be honest, I felt that writing a blog was outdated, so I had never done it or even seen it. However, when I tried it this time, I felt that it was a slightly longer version of Instagram or Twitter that I always use. I found it interesting to use photos and videos to convey what I wanted to communicate.

Daichi - 10/13/2022
I have created two blogs in two years of seminars. Last year's theme was movies. I introduced a variety of genres, from well-known works to minor ones. The theme of this year's blog is fish dishes. I have chosen relatively well-known fish to introduce easy-to-prepare dishes.
I think my blog has given me writing skills. I had never tried writing long sentences in English before, so I felt that I was learning English by writing English. Because of my inexperience, I had no idea what I was doing at first, but I got the hang of it as I went along and now I think I'm doing better than before. As for blogging skills, I feel that I have gained the ability to express myself in many different ways. I can provide information using photographs or expressing tastes and situations in text.
Finally, I think that creating and presenting a blog is a good way to learn English. Making words into sentences uses most of your five senses, so it is easier to learn English than other language learning activities.

Yuito - 10/13/2022
I have created a total of 8 blog posts between my junior and senior year. Last year, I created 5 posts about movies, and dramas, and this year I created 3 posts about manga.
Last year, I tried to make the blog easy to read by cropping photos and being aware of the layout of the photos. This year, I also tried my hand at editing photos. It was a bit difficult for me, as I am usually mechanically inept, but I was able to learn some skills through this blogging project and had a lot of fun doing it.
Also, I have always had poor writing skills and was not good at creating sentences in Japanese, but through two years of blogging, I seem to have improved a lot in both writing in Japanese and in English. In addition, I have been able to learn new vocabulary related to the theme by writing a blog, and I have also acquired actual speaking skills by giving presentations on my blog each time, and I feel that my overall English ability has improved.
Through this class, I learned the joy of putting together a blog of my favorite things, and I would like to write a blog again in the future as an individual.

Mitsuki - 10/13/2022
Last year and this year I posted blogs on various topics. Last year, I introduced various movies and dramas I liked on my blog. This year, I introduced my favorite bars and izakayas on my blog. I made a total of 8 posts. When I introduce izakayas and bars, I try to make the people who read the blog want to go there, and I thought of the sentences so that everyone would be interested. Since I can't write a blog if I don't know much about the bars and izakayas, I researched a lot about them. Also, many of the izakayas and bars I went to had delicious food, so I learned about the food and wrote about it on my blog. I was happy when my friends went to the places I introduced and said they thought it was delicious. And when you post your favorite shop, you write how long it takes from the station and how to get there., so I think that the person reading it will go next time. From now on, I would like to introduce more places and write articles that make people who read my blog want to visit.

Nene - 10/13/2022
I learned a lot of things through this class, and one of them was how to make a blog. Blogging is about writing about your daily life and about what you like. I wrote 8 blog posts in total. I learned how to put a picture with the text and introduce it to everyone. I thought it wasn't that difficult. However, it was difficult to write what I wanted to convey into sentences and introduce them with pictures. I learned how to communicate to other people in an easy-to-understand way. If you use words you don't know, your meaning won't be conveyed to the other person. First of all, I had to understand the words and meanings myself. Thanks to this, I was able to learn English by learning words that I didn't know. In my movie blog, when I wanted to introduce a movie, or when I wanted to tell about the director, I needed to know what kind of person he was and what kind of work he was doing. In addition to understanding English words and meanings, I felt strongly that I had to understand what I wanted to convey by myself first. I feel that blogs are good for me because I cannot introduce information unless I understand it well myself.

Aya - 10/13/2022
I have posted 8 blog posts in the past two years. Last year, I posted a blog about movies and dramas. I wrote about movie genres, a director, a recommended movie and a review. It was so fun to introduce recommended movies. I found very interesting movies by watching movies to make blog posts. This year, I wrote about my favorite artists. When I wrote this blog, It was challenging for me because I don’t know the detailed history of the my favorite artists, so I researched a lot and wrote passages.
I have learned a lot by writing blogs. First, I learned how to make sentences in English. It was very difficult to write what I wanted to say. There are many words I learned while writing blogs, so my English vocabulary has grown little bit. Also, by writing blogs, I had really good opportunities to say my opinion. Next, I was able to create nice looking blogs. I learned page layout and how to put sentences next to images. I think this skill will be useful in business. I want to make use of this experience to do something practical.
I chose “Review: The Parent Trap”. as a sample blog post. I wrote a review of this movie on my blog last year.

Yoshifumi - 10/13/2022
I created two blogs in two years about movies and manga. The total number of posts are eight. It is a fun process for me to write about what I like on my own blog. It took some getting used to at first, but this whole experience was good opportunity for English writing. In addition, I learned how to use the basics of Blogger. Embedding images and videos, and layout of the blog was designed to be easy for the viewer to read so that the background and text colors do not assimilate. I made a conscious effort to separate content by paragraph when writing sentences.
I learned how to write sentences that list multiple elements using commas. I had many opportunities to use this because the works often have their own multiple elements.
Even work created in Japan underwent various changes when translated into English, and it was very interesting to learn about these changes. Even though I was familiar with the works I introduced, I could enjoy them n a fresh way just by changing the language. When practicing English writing, it is sometimes trouble finding material to write about, but by focusing on things you like, you will have no trouble coming up with ideas.

Hiyori Suzuki - 10/12/2022
I wrote 9 blog posts in two seminars in two years. Blogging has been a great learning experience for me. It was very difficult for me to operate a computer at first, but by writing a blog, I learned how to create links and embed photos and other things into blog posts. Until now, I like to watch romance movies, and I was able to take advantage of that hobby to study in the college blog lecture, which was rewarding and fun. By creating a blog with my favorite movies, I was able to summarize my good points in the movies, which was great.
My favorite movie is Ready Player One. I will give you an overview of the story of this movie. This movie is about the world of Virtual Reality where you can transform yourself into an avatar and experience various adventures The main character, Wade Watts, explores this Virtual Reality world and has a bond with offer characters. It’s so powerful and shocking that you might get caught up in this story. I will explain the impression of the movie. This movie was very interesting. It was very emotional to see the main character, Wade Watts, working with his friends to tackle difficult challenges.

Koichi - 10/12/2022
I have made many blog posts in the past two years. For the first year, I posted a blog about movies and dramas. The movie and drama blog posted five different genres, including action movies, horror movies, and popular dramas. In my second year, I decided on a topic that I liked and created a blog. I chose "sports car" as the theme. The "Sports Car" blog has three blog posts about Japanese sports cars: Toyota Supra, Nissan GT-R and Mazda RX7.
I have learned how to make sentences in English and how to express them properly through blogging for the past two years. Also, I was able to learn how to write basic blogs, so I was able to acquire the skills necessary for my work. Also, I found it very fun to post about my favorite things. I think that if there is a topic that I am interested in or like, I will continue to write a blog for my own English study.

Ryuya - 10/12/2022
I have made three blogs posts in this class this year. On my food blog, I wrote about restaurants I went to that I wanted to introduce and recommend to people. It was my first experience writing a blog and I learned a lot. I thought about how to write in a way that would be easy for readers to understand, which is something I had never thought about before. While I was writing each blog, I put into consideration how I could get my message across, rather than what I wanted to say or write. For example, I repeated trial and error of how to place each photos in the blog. I also worked hard on how to structure the sentences for the readers. I tried to get the reader to engage in my blog and to actually be motivated to go to restaurants I introduced. I have researched and provided information about the restaurant, such as it’s location, menu, and their open hours. By doing these things I think my English has improved. I would like to make use of what I have developed through the blog to learn English in the future.

Mayuko - 10/12/2022
I first came to know the site called blogger in my seminar classes and I made my own blogs. Last year, I introduced movies in Mayuko's Movie Blog. This year, I introduced my hometown in Mayuko's Hometown Blog. In total, I wrote eight blog posts. I couldn't have imagined creating a blog in English, but I gradually got used to it.
Blogging was fun and I learned a lot. Especially this year, it was fun because I created a blog with my favorite theme. I can enjoy learning English by blogging about what I like.
I learned how to insert photos in my blog. I decided the position and size of the photos while thinking about how to make it easy for others to view it. I also learned how to use italics. I was also able to learn grammar and vocabulary words again. I felt that I needed a grammar review because it was difficult for me to suddenly write long sentences in English. I would like to make a blog again in the future if I have a chance.

Haruto - 10/12/2022
I started blogging this year and created three blog posts in total. The theme I picked was my hobby, motorcycles, and I wrote about the places I have been while touring, the scenery I have seen, and my impressions.
What I felt when I started creating the blog was that I could grow a lot in the writing part if I wanted to use this as a tool for learning English first. After making three posts, I realized my lack of vocabulary, and it was very difficult to use translations and dictionaries over and over again to make sure that the sentences I wrote were correct. However, even though I only created three posts, once I became somewhat familiar with blogging, I was able to look up words I didn't understand and then quickly write the rest.
Since this was my first time creating a blog, I had a lot of trouble figuring out what layout to use and how to arrange the photos. I was working on a tablet, not a PC, so I had a lot of trouble putting the photos where I wanted them, and when I looked back at the blog, I found that some of the sentences were not quite right.

Uta - 10/12/2022
I think that writing an English blog can help me study English. I made a blog about my favorite movies. I wrote 8 blogs in 2 years. It was my first time writing a blog, and it was difficult to write in English. Thanks to the blog, I was able to learn about how paragraphs, styles, and photo composition are used. It's been two years since I started blogging, so I've been able to figure out how to make blogs easier to read and understand. Also, I was able to find out about the attachment of links and videos. And it's fun to be able to write about your favorite topic.
Also, I'm writing a blog using a personal computer, so I think my typing has improved. I think that it will be useful in the future. When I wrote my impressions of the movie at the end of my blog, I struggled because I couldn't find the right words in English that I wanted to convey. However, I felt that repeated research would improve my knowledge of English. And when I finish blogging beautifully, I feel a sense of accomplishment. That also motivates me. Even after this Lifelong English Seminar, writing a blog will surely help me study English

Haruka - 10/19/2021
I have created 9 blogs in about 2 years. The theme was movie reviews. I limited the genre of movies to horror and introduced various works from famous movies to minor movies. Because the theme was horror, I was particular about the layout of the blog [and tried to make it scary].
I think I've created a few blogs and have improved my writing skills. Until now, I haven't had the opportunity to write long sentences in English. After I started writing a blog I realized that my writing skills were poor, so I'm glad I had the opportunity to write a lot of long sentences on my blog. When creating a blog, I had to be familiar with how to use Blogger, so it was difficult for me at first, since I'm not a technical person, but gradually I was able to learn useful things such as photo editing, video attachments, links editing and more.
At first it was difficult to write in English, but now my skills are better than before, and I am having fun. Writing a blog is not easy, but I think it's a good way to improve my skills. Also, blogging must be something that readers can enjoy, so there is a purpose to it and I think it improves the expressiveness of my sentences.

Momoka - 10/18/2021
I have posted about 11 blog posts in the last two years. Last year, I wrote about four recommended movies and restaurants on my practice blog. And I wrote four introductions of items that can be easily made on the Handicrafts blog, but from this year I changed the theme of the blog and introduced recommended apps.
I have written these blogs and learned a lot. First of all, I learned about photo editing and sites necessary for creating a blog. Specifically, there are various ways to reorient the photo before posting it on the blog; crop it, resize it, adjust the brightness, and so on. I feel that these will definitely be useful for work in the future.
And I had never written a blog in English before, so I found it difficult to think about the structure of the blog and to express myself in my own words using English. However, I think that my English ability has improved a little by using translations and dictionaries when creating this blog, and learning important expressions and grammar in my Lifelong English seminar.
Now that I have learned how to create a blog, if I find a topic that interests me, I would like to post it on a blog and use it for my own English learning.

Specifically, there are various ways to reorient the photo before posting it on the blog; crop it, resize it, adjust the brightness, and so on. I feel that these will definitely be useful for work in the future.
And I had never written a blog in English before, so I found it difficult to think about the structure of the blog and to express myself in my own words using English. However, I think that my English ability has improved a little by using translations and dictionaries when creating this blog, and learning important expressions and grammar in my Lifelong English seminar.
Now that I have learned how to create a blog, if I find a topic that interests me, I would like to post it on a blog and use it for my own English learning.
Ayaka C. - 10/18/2021
I changed the topic of my blog last year and this year. Last year I introduced my recommended restaurants. I was consciously looking for the restaurants that were not chain restaurants. This year, I couldn't eat out very much because the corona virus, so I thought that the restaurant topic was difficult. This year's topic is my recommended anime. I like anime and this topic is not affected by the virus.
Before I started blogging, I couldn't write English sentences, so I was really worried. However, I write more sentences now so I can do it better than before. I had a different blog theme last year, so I learned many different difficult points. With the restaurant topic, it was especially difficult to explain the texture and taste of foods. I was conscious of not using the same expression over and over again. And I told the smell so everyone could easily imagine the food. When I first started taking pictures it was so hard because everyone must think the foods look delicious. With the anime topic, I tried not to write outlines and spoilers. However, I must introduce the anime so everyone can become interested, so I talked about the contents a little bit. I only talked about my favorite anime, so I think I should introduce other genres of anime too.
Finally, I think blogging is a very good way to study because I can choose my own writing topics. This helps me to write long sentences. If I choose a food topic or a video topic, I can learn different contents with different vocabulary. If I choose my favorite topics to blog about, I think I can learn more words and expressions even after graduation.

Miho - 10/18/2021
Blogging was a good learning experience for me. I made a blog about ”movie reviews” so I introduced my favorite movies. And I wrote 9 blog posts in two years in my two seminars. It was a little hard for me but it developed my skills.
First, I hadn’t ever made a blogs until my third year Blogging in English Seminar started and I was not good at writing in English. However, I got used to writing sentences in English little by little.
Next, I wasn’t good with computers so I didn’t have enough knowledge to make a blog but by blogging, I learned how to make links and embed photos and videos into blog posts. At first, I was typing with one hand, but I can touch-type a little now, so my typing skill improved by blogging.
Finally, I learned how to attract readers by my choice of words. I want to tell people that my favorite movies are interesting so I tried to search for the words which are suitable for my thoughts. Then I could find many words and expressions which I’ve ever known, for example, ululation and burst out laughing. Blogging was good for learning vocabulary that expressed what I was thinking. And also, I could learn how to use words and grammar which I didn’t know.
In conclusion, blogging is a good way to practice writing English and typing. I could increase my English vocabulary and learn how to use words and grammar.

Norika - 10/18/2021
I’ve created three blogs since last year. The first was for practicing, and second was for introducing restaurants, and third is for introducing my favorite artists.
Including the practicing blog, I’ve posted 12 times so far. First, I learned how to change the size and angle of the pictures and rotate them in order to make them look better.
And last fall, I posted six blogs on a theme of my choice. I like to eat, so I introduced my favorite restaurants in my hometown. I enjoy writing blogs that are about what I like. It was difficult to express the texture of food. The Japanese language has more onomatopoeic words to describe texture than English, so it was a little difficult to translate what I felt into English as accurately as possible. I didn’t know many English words to describe such textures, so I was able to learn them thanks to writing the blog.
I had never written a blog even in Japanese, so writing a blog in English was even more difficult. When I chose a topic and wrote a blog, I learned a lot of expressions related to that topic.

Yurika - 10/21/21
I created a blog about movies and a blog about Korean dramas in two years. I thought it was very good to post a blog. In the past I often saw blogs but I never tried to make my own. Moreover, I couldn't imagine posting in English only.
I found it difficult to post a blog. It was difficult to make it easier for the other party to see by using features such as inserting a photo. But I thought it was easier and more fun than I expected. The hardest part was the explanation in English only. Posting in English was also a learning experience because there is a lot of English that I don't use in everyday conversation.
And I’m very happy that the Korean dramas I posted this year can be recommended to those who see the blog. Blog posting was a very good experience because I was able to explain a lot of things unlike ordinary conversations. I would like to post again if I have time.

Ayumi M. - 10/21/21
I wrote a blog for the first time in my third and fourth year seminars. Last year I made "Ayumi's Movie Blog" to introduce movies, and this year I made "Ayumi's Cafe Blog" to introduce my favorite cafes. I wrote a total of 9 blog posts on these two blogs.
I learned a lot by blogging. First, I learned how to edit the photos. I unified the size of the photos to the same shape, and adjusted the angle and brightness of the photos. These can be edited with the photo app originally included in the iPhone. Next, I learned how to use italics, such as when I wrote the movie name on last year's blog. In addition, I was able to learn how to change the size of letters, the position of photos, and how to change the size.
Writing long sentences in English are not common in my everyday life, so I think it's good to write a blog in English. By writing your favorite things on your blog, you can enjoy learning English.

Mako - 10/21/21
I wrote a total of nine blogs during my two years as a third and fourth grader. Writing the blog posts was not an easy task, but I feel that it was beneficial for me. I have liked watching foreign movies and dramas since I was a child, so I wrote about that for two years.
First of all, when writing the blog, I made a conscious effort to make my blog layout, typeface, font size, where to put photos, and so on, so that it would be easy to read for the readers. The difficult part of writing the blog was writing the synopsis. I think it is very hard to make people who read my blog want to see a movie by summarizing the story in short sentences and writing it in a way that does not spoil the story.
Since I hadn't done much blogging or writing long sentences in English, my blog was difficult to read at first because I hadn't decided on a layout or font, but I think I was able to write an easy-to-read blog by blogging many times.
Blogging allows you to write on a theme of your choice, and I think it is a fun way to learn English. By thinking up sentences and researching on my own, I was able to memorize and learn words that I did not know.

Sayaka - 10/21/21
I think blog posts are great for learning English because I learned a lot of new words and idioms when thinking about sentences. I also learned how to make an easy-to-read blog. I had to think not only about the content, but also about photos and embedded videos from YouTube and Instagram. Besides, I was able to practice typing and learn how to insert images and URLs. I’m not good at using a computer, so I think it was good practice while posting on my blog.
I posted nine blogs in two years. Last year I created a movie blog, and this year I created a blog that introduces my favorite essay books. I posted six movie posts in 2020. I posted about my favorite movie genre, my favorite actor, my favorite TV drama and movie reviews. Since I don’t usually watch foreign movies, I was able to get interested in a new genre. On my Small Happiness blog, I posted three times in six months. My hobby is reading Korean essay books, so I wrote about them on my blog because I wanted to recommend them to everyone. After reading each essay book, I felt that my life was enriched, so I wanted to continue reading many essay books. In this way, I was able to get more interested in the topic I posted on my blog.
Through my blog posts over the two years, I have learned many things, not only learning English, but also learning how to post blogs and improve my computer skills. I also found it good to put my thoughts into words, post them as a blog, and share them with others. If I have a chance to post a blog in the future, I would like to utilize the knowledge I gained.

Fumiya - 10/21/21
I have posted 9 blogs in two years. Last year I wrote a blog about movies and this year I wrote about hip hop. I didn't remember the background of hip-hop, so it was fun to learn it again. I learned some words that I didn't know when writing a blog. Writing a blog for what I like was fun and a good experience.
Writing a blog was a new experience, so in the beginning, I didn't know how to write or how to make a paragraph. But now that I've done it for two years, I can understand it. Just writing sentences is boring., so I learned that it is necessary to paste images.
Last year, I was busy writing sentences. This year, I've learned more words and phrases and can write better blog posts. I read a lot of English before writing each blog post. Last year I was reluctant to read English, but there is not much resistance this year.
Over the last two years, I have become more fond of English. I like hip hop, so I wanted to blog about my experience. To do that, I have to go to the United States, so I think I have to study more English.

Shuri - 10/20/2021
I have created 9 blogs posts in two years. I wrote about English movies.
I learned writing abilities and how to blog. For example, I learned how to write the beginning of the blog. In my first post, I wrote, "I selected ___ English movie" but the teacher said this was not a good way to start the blog post. And by blogging, I found a new way to study English. I had to think about verb forms and check the vocabulary myself.
Before I started blogging, I hadn't watched many English movies, but for the purpose of blogging, I watched many English movies. It was a good experience.

Yuki - 10/20/2021
I have created 9 blogs in the last 2 years. When I was in my third year at Tsurumi University, I made a blog to introduce “movies”. In my 4th year, I created a blog with the theme of my favorite brands.
When I first created the blog, I didn't have enough English words, I didn't know how to paste images, and couldn't touch type. However, as I worked over and over again, I gradually became able to understand the meaning of words, similar words, and grammar. Therefore, I created a blog with the goal of making it easier to read, considering the balance between sentences and images.
There are two things I learned from creating a blog. The first is to make it easier to read. I learned that it is important to create a blog that makes you want to read, by adding nice illustrations and by not making it too short or too long. And I have practiced not only creation but also communication with other people. I was a little nervous and gradually became able to speak in public. Secondly, I can improve my English “writing”and “speaking”. I was good at grammar, but I couldn't speak much. I learned that it is important to create a blog, practice writing English sentences, and communicate in public through presentations. My “writing”and “speaking” skill is improving little by little.
Finally, blogging has been a great experience for me. And now, I would like to actively utilize blogs to read and learn grammar and new words. I am glad that I have acquired a lot of knowledge and experience in the last two years. I would like to continue.

Ayaka N. - 10/19/2021
I have posted 9 blogs in two years. Last year I wrote reviews about movies and this year I wrote recipes about cooking. It was a lot of fun because I was able to introduce the food I made. Also, it was a good experience because I was able to learn words and phrases in creating cooking blogs.
I have learned a lot of other things. I had never created a blog before taking this class, so I had a hard time creating a blog at first. As I continued to write, I was able to paste links and edit images. It is useful because it is easy to introduce movies and dishes just by having links and images.
Next, I learned new words and phrases, so I was able to acquire English skills. I used to have a hard time reading long sentences, but now that I know more words, I don't have as much trouble understanding as I used to. I've come to like watching food blogs made by foreigners.
Finally, I've become more fond of cooking than before. I want everyone to see the food I cooked, so I will continue to write blogs in English. I would like to look at various people's blogs and do my best to create better blog posts.

Yuto - 10/19/2021
From last year to this year, I've created six movie blogs and three Disney blogs. Over the last two years, I have found it difficult and fun to write what I want to write and convey it to other people. I think my writing skills have improved, but I honestly couldn't learn good writing.
I think blogging helped me improve my English a little. The reason is that I have to compose sentences using a dictionary. I was able to learn new vocabulary from each blog, and I think I have some ability to create vocabulary if it is basic [basic sentences?]. Also, I think this lesson helped me understand how to create a blog that is easy for readers to read, by use of photo editing and understanding color schemes.
The blog posting in this class was a very good time to convey what I liked while learning English. On days that I gave a presentations in front of everyone in English, which I don't usually do, I felt nervous, but I think it was a good experience.

Hirohito - 10/18/2021
I don't usually express my favorite hobbies in English, but I think that blogging is a good method for learning how to write in English. I made my blog about my three favorite fashion designers. The purpose is that I want to show the design features of Western, Western Europe and Asia [I don't understand this]. . I think that designer's remarks and expressions are difficult to express even in Japanese. So I am able to learn a lot about writing my hobby in English.
I could learn how to convey confusing expressions and words in English. I think that this thing is very difficult to explain. When I wrote a blog, I didn't understand the meaning of the direct translation of the expression that a fashion designer thinks. So I tried to convey the ideas in easy to understand expressions. In my blog, I was able to convey meaning by combining words and grammar in easy to understand ways.
In addition, I could learn how to construct paragraphs and how to easily show pictures and movies. But I think that the ability to convey confusing expressions and words in English is the best learning for me. I have experienced and learned by blogging, and it will have a positive effect for me. For example, when I am working with my colleagues and I am talking with friends or parents. I am glad that I can be used to various situations like the example. [I don't understand this.]
]Hirohito, you used the word "convey" four times. It's a good word, but mainly you were just repeating the same idea again and again. There's no point in repeating.]

Yuuri - 10/18/2021
I thought writing a blog in English would be very difficult, but actually, I had a lot of fun writing a blog. I could write about my favorite topic. I thought it was a good approach because it was easy to understand the content by setting the theme in advance.
I wrote a blog with the theme of “The History of Disney.” I mainly blogged about Tokyo Disney Resort. I have visited Tokyo Disney Resort many times, and I really like Tokyo Disney Resort, so I enjoyed writing a blog about it.
I wrote about lost attractions, the history of popcorn sold at Tokyo Disney Resort, and the speed of attractions at Tokyo Disney Resort. I made a blog by pasting pictures on each blog, but I had a hard time pasting pictures. I realized that I also need to understand technology to put pictures where I want to place them. In addition, I have devised ways to make blogs easier to read by changing the size and color of the letters.
I think writing a blog in English will improve my English ability. Along with that, I think my use of technology will improve. I was able to create a blog excitedly, wondering how to make it easier to view. This will be useful when I work on websites at work in the future. I will also think about writing a blog as a hobby.

Tsugumi - 10/16/2020
Blogging is a good way to practice writing English. I made a blog about “My Bakeries”, which introduces my favorite bakeries in English. I wrote 10 blog posts in two years in my two seminars. I went to many bakeries in the Kanto area of Japan. It was fun to write my blog in English because I like bread and going to various bakeries is one of my hobbies. I have two things I learned by blogging.
First of all, I learned how to convey non-English words in English. It was difficult to explain the taste, texture and shapes of the bread in English. In particular, it was hard to express clearly the various ingredients in a sweet bread and stuffed bread. I looked up words that fits those Japanese words in dictionaries and the Internet many times. As a result, I could write English so it was easy to imagine the taste and the atmosphere of shops.
Next I learned about photo editing. I was particular about the photos in my blog. When I took pictures, I paid attention to the angle so that the shop and food looked beautiful. After doing that, I adjusted the size and brightness of the photos. When people and shadows appeared in the photo, and I could make the object look clearer by shading off dishes, tables and walls, my photos were improved. When the photos looked good, I made a collage.
Through blogging, I was able to think how to choose words and how to edit photos from the perspective of people who will view it. This experience will have a positive effect when speaking English, talking to someone and working in the future.
Blogging is a good way to practice writing English. I made a blog about “My Bakeries”, which introduces my favorite bakeries in English. I wrote 10 blog posts in two years in my two seminars.

I posted 10 blogs over 2 years in the Lifelong English Seminar. My blog topic was “cooking” so I introduced recipes. This time, I’ll write what I noticed and learned through writing blogs in English.
First, I have been blogging about cooking, so I learned some terms for cooking. For example, I learned “batter”. I didn’t know this word, but the expression is common. Also, it was good for learning vocabulary to look up words for suitable cooking expressions.
Second, I think my cooking skills have improved. Comparing the beginning and recent dishes I made, I think the quality has improved. And I devised not only recipes but also the introductory sentences. I tried to write sentences that attract readers, such as seasonal stories and cooking characteristics.
Third, I learned about blog design and photo editing. I posted photos of food, ingredients and work processes every time, so I had a lot of photos of the work processes. I was able to edit these photos to make them easier to see using an app called “Kwik”. This app made my blog better.
Finally, I enjoyed writing blog posts about my favorite things and hobbies. I learned words and expressions that I wouldn't have known without writing a cooking blog. I think writing a blog in English is useful for learning English.

Chiharu - 10/23/2019
I changed my blog topic at the beginning of this year. I made six blog posts about books last year, and this year I wrote about four Netflix original movies and TV dramas. I changed my blog topic because it took a lot of time to read books and write about them. I like to watch movies or TV dramas, so I thought I could keep watching and posting. I like Netflix because there are various interesting dramas, so I decided to write about them. I watch both Japanese movies and foreign movies. In my blog posts, I mainly wrote about American movies and TV dramas.
Before I started blogging, I couldn't write English well, especially long sentences. I could say what I wanted to say it easily in Japanese, but it was so difficult to describe my opinions in English. However, by blogging, I learned which words to choose when I writing English. I thought about how to write in order to be easy to understand. Also, I could make long sentences after taking the Blogging in English Seminar. After I wrote ten blog posts, I definitely improved my writing skills!!
I also learned photo editing by posting on blogs, and I learned how to paste photos online. When I want to introduce what I watched, I can put photos from internet or my mobile phone’s album. I can then edit the image or move the position and change the photo size. By putting photos in my blogs, I can illustrate my favorite stories.
Finally, I think blogging is a very good way to study because you can write English about topics you like. If you can write about your favorite things, I think you can write longer sentences. After writing in English many times, your English might be better than before.

Keigo - 10/24/2018
I wrote 10 blogs about my favorite Japanese comics throughout two years. The reason why I chose this blog theme is I wanted to introduce interesting Japanese comics to many people. It was difficult to explain the introduction of each comic because the comic world is different depending on each one, but I enjoyed being able to know various words and being able to recommend comics to students in my seminar. I have around 1000 comics in my house, so I had a lot to choose from. Initially, when I heard that I needed to write a blog for 2 years, I was very worried whether I could do it myself because there are many unknown words, I hardly understand grammar, and I was not used to writing long sentences. However, I feel that various abilities are improving at least more than before.
I think blogging is the best for improvement of the ability to write. If you write your favorite theme, you can continue enjoyably and you acquire words, grammar and collocations naturally. I actually remembered how to use relative pronouns through blogging. However, with blogging, I cannot listen to English sentences and listen to pronunciation, I felt that it would be better to combine use of blogging and ESL online. And, I learned not only English abilities but also PC skills. In particular I remembered firmly how to edit photos, embed movies, and make links and italics. What I learned about these techniques will surely be useful in the future.
It is important to write a blog in English, but I thought that reading other people's blogs is also very important. By doing so you can learn new words, and how to use words and grammar you don't know. I learned a lot in various ways by blogging, so it was a nice study method for me

In the Lifelong English Seminar, I learned a lot of things by blogging. For example, I learned how to start a blog, create a post, customize everything, choose the layout and template, use html, and edit the title and description. I really enjoyed creating posts, and I think I learned how to write better. For instance, I learned some grammar points, how to make sentences and how to make an attractive post. Now I can make posts fairly easily. Also I can type and write sentences faster than before.
Making a blog also helped me improve my English ability. Japanese has many unique expressions that are difficult to translate, but I learned how to explain them and write them in English. I had to update my blog many times , so gradually I learned how to write difficult sentences. I learned many vocabulary words while writing my blog, such as “spoof” and “rendition”. For example, “spoof” means “to make somebody or something seem silly.” which means [だます- damasu, なりすます-narisumasu] in Japanese. Next, “rendition” means “someone’s performance of a play, piece of music, etc” which means [(音楽の)解釈, 演奏-(ongakuno)kaisyaku, ensou ] in Japanese.
I think making a blog is a good way to improve English because we can learn how to write with better grammar and sentence structure. After posting many times, writing becomes easier than before. My typing speed also improved. I recommend making a blog to people who want to improve their writing ability.

Ayako - 10/23/2016
In two years, I made 13 posts on my blog on the topic of my experience in Australia. This year and last year, my blog topic stayed the same because I like talking about Australia and introducing good places there. This topic is well suited for me.
I could learn many things from blogging in English these two years. First of all, I learned how to make online blog posts, including photo editing, and html. When I saw html for the first time, I could not understand it. It is still a little difficult for me, but I think it is useful for blog posting. If I know html well, fixing mistakes is easy. Secondly, my English skills improved. I wrote about places in Australia, so I needed to get exact information, such as flight times, location of states, tourist spot names, and so on.
Blogging in English was fun because it was the first time for me to write a blog in English. Also writing is an important skill for learning English. I think the most important thing is to keep writing. Writing in English regularly can help make our English skills better. When I was in Australia, I wrote an essay every day in class. However, when I came back to Japan, writing in English time decreased. Therefore making my blog was good practice for writing in English. Blogging in English is not difficult, so if you have Internet, you can make your own blog. In the two years that I wrote my blog, I also gave presentations in front of the class, so I could improve my writing skill and m speaking skill. I will try to make my blog in English in the future as well.

Asuna - 10/22/2016
I wrote two blogs about my favorite sports and teams for the past two years. Last year, my blog was about the Seattle Seahawks, an NFL team in the U.S. The blog title was “Kickoff”. This year, I changed my blog topic and wrote about my favorite Japanese professional baseball team the Yomiuri Giants. The new blog title is “Play ball”. In these two blogs, I introduced my favorite teams, players, places and so on. I made 12 posts in two years, so I could learn a better way of a writing English. When I write a blog post, I always use my electronic dictionary, because it is easy to search unknown words and check their meanings. Because of blogging, I have fallen into the habit of using an electronic dictionary as I write English.
In the beginning, my sentences were full of mistakes, but gradually, I could make sentences without mistakes because I posted many times. I used to think that listening was the best way to learn English, but after writing my blogs, I found that writing is as important as listening for learning English. I was careful not to make little mistakes. For example, I tried to correctly use the past tense, third person singular verb endings, always include a subject and verb, and so on. And I learned that relative pronouns, such as that, which, who, what, are very convenient words. If you want to write detailed explanations about something, you use relative pronouns.
In the Blogging Seminar, I also learned some useful computer skills. I didn’t know how to put up video clips on a post until I wrote my blogs, but I learned some things about html, and now I can put up video clips on a post. And I came up with the idea to put photos on the right side of my text to make my blogs easier to read.
As a result, I know that to keep on writing is a good way to learn English. I understood sentence structure better and I learned new vocabulary words.
