The questions to answer in your comment:
- What is the purpose of these sorts of writing exercises in Quest?
- How does this purpose relate to Blogging?
- How might Google Groups fit in with that sort of writing activity?
In case you don't know, Google Groups is a service that "allows you to manage ... your mailing list, [and] also provides a method for true communication and collaboration with group members" (from Google Groups Help Center). - Please feel welcome to share any related ideas you might have.
Note that this is a "response writing" activity. It is not academic writing, so write, write, write, and don't worry too much about the grammar. Definitely do not stop writing to look in a dictionary or other book, although you might like to have a quick look around Google Groups and think for a few minutes before you start writing, writing, writing.
This is part I of this class discussion. Part II is coming tomorrow, so please check back and share your ideas on that as well. Of course, you are also welcome to comment on a classmate's comment here.

ReplyDeleteNow we live in the world, so far, of globalization that beyond frontier this world. To communicate people, it is important to practice to be fluent in multi-language, especially in English. To practice response writing can make us improve many skills of English. You can use English skill in the way that naturally, so you have to think and write down just to create your idea. On the other hand if you have to describe the happened thing you could organize or write it chronologically. Moreover, web log (blog) could help your way to practice the response writing because another people could read your response writing and easy to be peer reviewers. Googles Groups contain a lot of people who can find your writing and probably, if you have any question in your comment you can ask or contract them. In my point of view, you can show your improvement to any body and it is a greeting way to share your ideas.
ReplyDeletePracticing response writing will help me to improve my writing skill to be fluent and I think it is true because before I study here some of my friends suggest me that I should write everyday to practice my writing skill and I have done as he said I have written mail almost everyday then I have began to writing faster than the past and it is easier to get the idea for writing. Let look back to the past when I started my first job I don’t know how to write email in English but my joy force me have to write English mail everyday to contact with my supplier I remember at the first time that I wrote it took time almost 1 hours per mail after 1 year. I think I can write many mail per hour because I can finish it faster. So this experience supports that idea to practice the response writing is a good way to improve the writing skill.
