1.2. Best Essay

Selection and Assessment: Which of those essays do you feel is the best that you've written this semester, and why? Please remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, and give at least two reasons to support your assessment.
  • I think my best essay is "Essay: University Life", because it includes my goals for my four years! No aims, no life. It is the same in university life, isn't it? I will not lose the reasons why I came here. Besides, this essay shows the points most definitely. It is also an encouragement for me!

* Current semester comments on essays and other posts
** Please list the most important qualities of comments on each type of blog post. That is, explain what makes them good comments.

2.5. Recent comments display

Does your blog display recent comments from blog visitors in a prominent location, for example in a sidebar, header, or footer widget? Where or why not?
  • My blog displays recent comments at the top of the sidebar. It is because that recent comments are renewed most frequently. If they are on the top, it is easier to look at them.

2.6. Additional reflections on comments

  • If my classmate put a comment on my blog, it becomes an encouragement for me. I think comments are good.

3.2. Best Book Review

Selection and Assessment: Which of those book reviews do you feel is the best that you've written this semester, and why? Please remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, and give at least two reasons to support your assessment.
  • I think my best book review is BR1-09: The New House. It is because I wrote about my own experience and my hope, not about the book.

4.4. Overall presentation

What have you done to enhance the overall presentation of your blog? List and explain the three most important content, formatting, layout, or other presentation changes or enhancements that you have made on your blog this semester.
  1. ... Layout of the template: I changed it at the tuen of seasons and fitted it to each season.
  2. ... To be regular: I tried to post on my blog almost everyday.
  3. ... Informative content: I included my own opinions. For example, I wrote about my own experience and hopes in book reviews, not only the story plots.

5.0. Additional reflections on your blog writing

  • ... To write diaries every day was so hard for me. It is because I am busy and not used to writing every day. However, I think it was helpful for my English now. To think about the design of my blog is pleasant, but it is on the Internet. That point bothers us, because we need to protect the private information carefully.

6.0. Suggestions for your peers and successors

  • ... I think what is important is to try to post diaries and book reviews early in a semester. Short posts are also okay, if we keep trying to write on our blogs.
