One of the main objectives of learning a language is to be able to express our thoughts and feelings in words. When we are able to use the language, we would be able to communicate with others who know the same language. If two people do not speak the same language, they would be like a hen and a duck.
One of the objectives of this blog is to give you, my students, an avenue to express yourselves in the written word. It is meant to be interactive, in the sense that you not only read what is written but you also respond by writing down your thoughts and feelings on the issues discussed. Being English language students, you are expected to write in grammatically correct sentences and to be courteous.
These days, writing has become a great part of our lives. We leave messages for our parents and siblings at home, and our friends at school. We send SMS messages to friends and family members. We put down our comments on Facebook. We chat with our friends online. We send e-mail messages, which are so much faster and more convenient than snail mail. Of course, we also have to write when we do our schoolwork and homework.
Can you imagine what your world would be like if you did not know how to read or write in English? What are the benefits of being English literate?
