This is MY adventure!!!




Hi people!!
Here I am in this new adventure...and....welcome to MY personal blog!!..I can't believe it! I'm Giorgia and I live in Mestre!..Does somebody know Mestre? It's ten minutes far from Venice...I think you certainly know Venice!

I graduated last year in "Mediazione linguistica e culturale" at the University of Padua and now I'm attending the second year of the Specialistica in "Lingue straniere per la comunicazione internazionale". During all these years I have studied English and French. At the moment I'm beginning my final thesis but I can't tell you the specific subject because...I have not completely decided it yet! I can tell you that I will graduate in French and so my thesis will concern a french subject! I'll give you the web site of my University..the University of Padua (if you are interested in its courses, click on it!)

Blogging...What are my impressions about it??!!


You will think..what are you doing now on the blog!!!?? Well..this year the English course is about blogs and all the participants meet on blog, exploring this world and its language..or better..English language!

I began this experience two weeks ago and I admit that I have discovered a new world! Exploring the various blogs I realised that nowadays an infinity of people write, read, meet on blog, speaking about all subjects. There are blogs on tv, music, food, cities, politics, and I could continue endlessly! You think of a subject..you can be sure that there is a blog on that!

I assure you that for me it's a new world and every lesson I do on blog I discover something new! However, besides my positive attitude there are also some reservations, I explain better...I think that you have to be careful with what you read and what you write; everybody can write on blog and everybody can write what they want...and this is a risk! On the other side you have to be careful with what YOU write because then everybody can read what you wrote!..For my character I know that I would never introduce something too personal about me in a blog !

There's another important aspect about blogs...the language! Yes because the language is not the same as the one we learn at school...this is often colloquial language! I have to admit that in writing I feel free because I think that on blog people are more careful in what you write than in how you write it!
However I realised that the problem often appears in reading beacuse I have always studied on academic or literary subjects; on the other hand, on blog you can find a lot of words coming from English dialects..and here is the problem! However I have often said that this is for me a new adventure and for this, everything that concerns it, is a good reason to learn something new!

Well, I think that's all for now.
I really hope this new blog will be interesting for you!
Bye Bye
Giorgia
