Comments give the blogger feedback (hopefully positive!) about their writing, and it’s also a fun way to practice your own English. Giving someone a positive comment on their blog is an easy way to make someone smile! 

Let’s practice leaving comments on each other’s blogs. Here are simple step-by-step directions: 

  • Find your classmate’s blog. You can see them all listed by class here on this site. 
  • Look over their posts, then find one you like.
  • Click the “Comments” link, which is usually at the end of the post (but sometimes at the top)
click the comments link
  • Type in the required info: your name, email address, website URL (optional), and an anti-spam code (if necessary).
  • Type your comment. Comments can be short, but I recommend making them a bit longer to give you more practice. Try to write what you liked or learned from the post, and ask a question (or two). This will make it easier for your classmate to respond. Oh, and if you find a problem with your classmate’s site, let them know. For example, let them know if you could see the video clip or photo, or if there was some strange-looking text or mistake. This is very helpful feedback.
  • Click the “Submit Comment” button at the bottom.
  • That’s it! There is no step 7! Enjoy reading your comment. Edit it if you find some mistake.
