Explain why you found these similarities/ differences to be of interest or importance and why you think others might think similarly.

Be sure to respond to at least two blogs posted by others. Do what you can to engage them in discussion, finding points of agreement or disagreement, taking their points further, touching on something they may have overlooked, something like that.

And if you haven't yet done so, please post an introduction blog and respond to at least two introductions.

After that, please write an introduction of yourself, telling us about your English education up to this point, any literature you like to read, what you think of using the computer for learning and other things you think might be of interest. You'll do this by clicking on the "create content" link at the top right of the page and then choosing "blog." Type your entry into the dialogue box and then post it.
