" LORD, WHERE DO I PUT MY HOPE? MY ONLY HOPE IS IN YOU". Psalm 39:7 NLT
GOD IS OUR HOPE.... one person told me that:
"Have you ever thought about how short life really is? Time passes so quickly. Nothing stays the same -
except GOD. He never changes. That's why we can pin our hope on Him. He gives us hope for our life because He's always there for us. And, He gives us hope for the future because He's preparing an incredible place for us in heaven. When we don't know where to turn, we can turn to Him. He won't let us down or leave us alone.

Opinion...
1. What is your opinion about using blogs to teach "writing" in EFL classrooms?
I think that is very important to use a different techniques to develop students writing skills, and learn more vocabulary. However we have to be careful w¡th that, because the teacher don’t have to “abuse”, this is a complement of the whole learning process, but is a good one.
2. Do you like working using blogs?
Yes, at the begining was quite difficult to me, but I learnt how to manage a blog, add comments and pictures.
3. What are some of the advantages of using blogs ?
Improve our writing and grammar.
Develop the students creativity.
4. What are some of the disadvantages?
I consider that we can find one huge disadvantage ,that happens when the Internet is not working, the class activities should change, so the teacher must be prepared for that.
Also what happen if the school has not many computers?, the activity will be difficult to do.
5. Do you plan to use blogs in the future?
Absolutely yes!, because is funny and students can enjoy it!.
Do you have any suggestions to improve these "lab sessions"? or was everything all right?
I have just good comments:
1. The class was well planned.
2. The activities were funny.
3. We develop our creativity through the stories and poems we did.
Congratulations Miss!!!!

Why is Writing important for an EFL teacher?
because allows to help students to discover their abilities, to encourage in their learning process, to be involve and participate in the class activities. the role of the teacher here is, to promote their creativity doing interesting exercises.
What is the best way to teach writing to children? to teenagers?
To children, you have to choose more interactive activities, because they lost the concentration quickly, short activities that have to be develop in class , and to teenager activities such as poems, a journal, haiku and different types of essays.

Use your Imagination...
One sunny morning Danielle was walking to the school, she didn’t feel comfortable in this new city, because she had to move and left her friends and the quite life in the little town surrounded by mountains and higher trees.
With her new yellow sweater that gave her Grandma, Danielle started the short walk to new friends and teachers; she missed especially Miss Sandra who was the best teacher that ever had. She asked: “Danielle no matter what happen in you’re knew school you have to be brave; you are intelligent, if you try, you can do whatever you want, and achieve your goals”.
She was remembering those words, when a group of students were close to her: “I can do this, I am going to talk with them and make new friend, is easy… but I don’t think so! I don`t want to look ridiculous…
What do you think that happened with Danielle? …
She was brave and went to them, Paul, Andrés, Lizz and Sarah were nice with her, and they became friends, the best of her life...

Reading a Newspaper...
I found an interesting news about the political campaing in USA ans it says the following:
The Republican Party spent on Sarah Palin $150,000 for clothing, shoes and make up, this amount of money is shocking but is necessary?
Some people say yes, because is legal and appropriate for the campaign to show a well dress candidate, however the McCain campaign mentioned that the clothing after the elections will be destined for charity. On the other hand, some people mentioned that is a waste of money.

In the article Scafidi says,. "When you see that number in the middle of a credit crunch" and consider the irony of "spending enormous amounts to reach ordinary people" for whom $150,000 is probably more than a year's salary, the spree is "a political disaster."
I think that all the money wasted in Sarah Palin is unnecesary, because is more important invest in health and education rather than clothes, but some people don't worry about, what can we do? just wait what will happen in the elections.
New words learnt:
1. waste: miss money or time in unnecesary matters.
2. spree: is when a person go to a store to buy something.
