GOOD AND BAD THINGS ABOUT BLOGS:

Last week we were talking about blogs. And we reached a conclusion: Blogs can be useful for students but it can also be harmful.

Good things:
· It's a way to learn and communicate
· It's a way to express our opinion
· It's free
· It's easy to use
· They are versatile
· It's useful and you can work with it at home and everywerwe with computer

Negative things:
· You can find porno (but you can find porno everywere)
· People can enter private infromation
· Maybe, some coments can be ofensive
· People can upload your pictures without your permission
· The pictures
can also be ofensive.


Conclusion:
So our conclusion is that you can create a blog, but you always will find bad things, not only with blogs, if not with everything.

How do I get my news?

We always get our news from television, tv3 (anna) and Antena 3 (Carla).
There are other news sources: for example, on the radio, or maybe in the Internet. Sometimes in our life we have listened news on the radio. For example, when you are listening to music there are some music news about new songs, or singers that have released a new song and we
have also searched a newsitem in a paper or maybe in the Internet for a school's assignment.
There a lot of ways to see, or listen what's going on in the world.

We see the news on the television when we are having dinner.
So, hello!
This is our first post in this new blog! But first of all, do you know what is a blog? Don't worry we know it:D So, a blog is a web site, usually maintened by an individual with regular entires of commentary, descripcions of events, or other material such, graphics, video, photos...
So, a blog is a way to have a great time and also an oportunity to share your personal things and finally to discover a new world. There are a lot of types of blogs (personal blogs, business, schools, politics, private, sports, how-to, tips and reviews...)
