What I read
Although I've read a lot in preparation for it, this post has a different purpose. I want to welcome you to your EAP class on Monday to Thursday mornings.
So, welcome.
So, welcome.

My response
Thank you for joining our weekday class in Reading and Writing for academic purposes. I hope you find the next six weeks useful, productive, also challenging, and perhaps even fun.

My question
I hadn't planned on a question, but I guess I should follow my own template for our blogs. Perhaps it's worth asking you to write a comment on your previous experience or ideas on using online discussion boards. As you will see in our book, online discussion makes an appearance early on in Unit 1 (Bixby & Scanlon, 2013, p. 9) and there is a more extensive coverage of this common part of modern university courses on page 66, so I do have a question.
Do you agree with the authors of our book and myself? Is a class blog a useful addition to our class this term? (This is two sentences, but it's only one question for you to respond to.)
You can respond as soon as you accept the invitation I will soon send you to join this blog.
