An Introduction to My Blog

Hello, everyone. This is Conor, and welcome to my English blog. As both a student and a person, I find much enjoyment in the various topics and partitions of English, including reading, writing, and grammar. With the reading of novels, I usually take some time to become completely absorbed in the story and the characters. However, if a book is right for me, eventually a time will come when I cannot put it down, and I will read it to the finish. Books such as these often incite great emotion and thought in me, sometimes leaving a lasting impression on my view of the world. In terms of writing, I always strive to form flowing, correctly structured sentences that express my thoughts and ideas in the best way possible. I also, on occasion, find pleasure in writing poetry and short stories. As an English student, I work hard to accomplish these elements in my assignments. In graded essays and reports, I sometimes struggle and feel pressure to find a perfect word, phrase, or sentence that fully represents my ideas in a way that satisfies me.

Those who read my blog posts will see polished examples of my writing that reflect the literature and discussions that we cover and hold in the class. Hopefully, the reflections that I post will encourage readers to look into these topics in greater detail, and will give them new and fresh ideas about them. I will do my best to  write in a fashion that allows readers to fully comprehend and appreciate my opinion and reaction to the literature that the class is studying.

To me, an English class is an environment where students can grow and learn in subjects such as reading, writing, and discussion. It should cover topics such as comprehension of literature, sentence structure, and vocabulary. Importantly, it must give opportunities for students to share and relate their thoughts from literature and reading with their peers and teacher. The skills and experiences that are gathered through many years of English are huge, and can greatly assist people in their futures. Subjects like vocabulary and grammar provide much help in academic areas such as essays and written applications, while discussion skills can aid people in every day situations and conversations. The knowledge and inspiration accumulated from a broad experience of literature can even, as I mentioned previously, affect both your view of the world and your morals and values.

I look forward to a year of excellent adventures, learning, and opportunities in this class. Good luck to us all!
