Hi,
Today I will talk about how writing blog posts about really helps me in my life and that it is not all about ACE. I would like to explain why I have such a love for writing blog posts and how they can help me in daily life. (By the way, I hope you get the title. Hint: Inception is about a world within a world. So, Blog-ception is about writing about blogs in a blog post)
Ever since primary school, I did not know much about blogs and had the impression that blogs were for grown-ups only. I also thought that blogs were a waste of time and a bit stupid because it was public so many people could see what was happening in your life, which means intruding in your privacy. Therefore, I did not have the habit of writing blogs, diaries or journals. However, after joining Hwa Chong Institution, I was introduced to the idea of blogs and started to write many posts about my feelings on current events. At first, I struggled to come up with my own topics and had to rely on my LA teacher for ideas. From there, I expressed my views on the topic but was not able to do so very well. However, as I wrote more and more blog posts, my confidence in writing grew as well and now, I am able to write blog posts very freely about almost everything under the sun. Blogs have also changed from a compulsory section of my studies to an enjoyable activity that I look forward to do. My writing skills have also improved by a lot, as I can spurn out chunks of words without much thinking. I enjoy blog posts because they help me to know more about current affairs and be used as a platform to pour out my feelings about something. It also helps me to improve my writing skills, in preparation for the examinations. I can comment on others' blog posts and learn many different points of view too, hence helping me to think critically and consider all points-of-view. Therefore, I find that blog posts have definitely helped me in my life both academically and emotionally.
In conclusion, I think that blog posts have really helped me in my life and I recommend that everyone start a blog right now! Thanks to blogs, my writing skills have improved by a lot and I have been exposed to a totally different world online!

Dear Nathanael,
ReplyDeleteI agree that blogs are helpful as they provide an outlet to share one's views and thoughts about life. When I was younger, I also thought that blogs were a waste of time, I mean, the time spent on writing blogs can be better spent doing other activities such as reading books.
However, after maintaining a blog for two years, I agree that blogs are extremely helpful. They help develop critical thinking, as one would have to think about certain issues before posting them up, and it is also a good way to share thoughts and ideas with different people. It is also interesting to look at the different styles of writing people have, and interesting to know how people act differently on the internet when compared to real life.
