after two weeks of blogging...

Hi! In the last two weeks I was not here in Padua (I was abroad) so I couldn't use the
computer...the return at the University was a shok for me because I discovered that all the other students had their personal blogs! I didn't know how to do it! But than I discovered that it is easy and so, as you all can see, I created my personal blog! I think that the use of blogs for an English (or, obviously, for any other language) course is a great idea! First of all because it make studes improve their writing skills, and it gives the possibility to recive comments. Thanks to these comments a student can recive suggestions, opinions and can see how to correct his mistakes. Moreover, the use of blog is useful because if a student ask something to the teacher, she can answer using a post in the course blog and, in this way, all the students can read her answer and avoid to repeat the same question. Now I don't know so much about blogs but I'm sure that I will lern and that it will became a useful learning mean! I'm very happy to use a blog for this course because I have never used one before! I'm satisfied!
I hope blogs will be useful for our English!
See you soon!!

I'm Elisa, I'm 23 and I study in Padua University. I will use this blog in my English course in order to improve my English. To present me I've chosen this image Fried Rice and now I explain why..
I know that the photo I chose is a bit strange, but it represents some aspects of my personality.
The first reason is the most obvious: I really love rice!! It can be cooked in any the way you want, but I always love it! When I am alone at home and I must decide what to eat, I often cook rice although it requires a bit of work. Obviously, I often cook it also for my family, and they always appreciate it.
The second reason is linked with the first one because I love cooking. I cook every day for my family but it is not a problem for me because, when I cook, I feel relaxed and I don't think to other problems or things that I have to do. I love cooking everything, and I often make some "experiments" with my fantasy and using the food I have at home in that moment...I admit that they are not always a success!! However, I think that I can be considered Ia quite good cook!
There's also another reason why I chose this photo: I love water and, as you all know, rice grows in water. I really love everything related with water. For example, I am not a sporty type but the only sport I like is swimming. Moreover, I love sea, the sensation of water in the skin and the sound that you hear when you are under water. When I find beautiful sea or lake landscapes I cannot resist to the temptation to take a photo of them!
I could spend lots of words to talk about me but I just say these three things to give an idea of my personality! You will know me better during this English course!
See you soon
Elisa
