Nowadays, more and more people start their own blogs. They write some reviews, introduction of their favorite movie stars or singers and some cooking recipes. They even communicate with other people through their blogs. Somebody once said, 'Blogging is the new persuasive essay'.
Before I joined the 18th GLPS camp, I never realized that blogging was very helpful. I already had a blog which I started when I was very young but I stopped blogging after a few months. However, I learned the reason why blogging was so important and useful during the GLPS and, now, I'm enjoying blogging so much.
1. Many people will read your writings
Let's say that you are writing a reflective essay about your childhood, which is your school assignment. If you write the essay only on your notebook or textbook and submit it to your teacher, only your teacher and some of your classmates can read it. You can't share the writing with other people even if you really want to do so. Besides, imagine that you write a really great fantasy novel and you think that it is much better than any other fantasy novels that we used to read like Harry Potter or The Wizard of OZ. Then, you may want to ask other people to read your wonderful piece and give you some comments. In this situation, if you write the novel on your notebook or the Microsoft Word, only some designated people, such as your family or your best friend, will read your piece. On the contrary, if you post the novel on your blog, countless people all over the world will read your post and leave some comments on it. It may be more exciting than just writimg something on your notebook and showing it to only a few people. Moreover, the fact that many people will read your writing also means that you can read many other people's posts. Some of the posts will give you something informative like the way to bake delicious bread or how to write a good essay.
2. You can persuade other people through your blogs
.
As I mentioned, somebody said that blogging is the new persuasive essay. Sometimes, we get some strong feelings on something or somebody. Some of you may think that 'Joseph Kony must be stopped', 'eating meat is harmful for our health', 'reading electronic books are better than reading paper books', 'kangarroos are amazing', 'blogging is good', and so on. You may hope other people to think like you. One of the things you can do in this case is to post something about them on your blogs. As we all already know, millions of people who are living in different countries will read your posts even if you can't even notice. Some of them may be persuaded by your posts and will give consent to your opinions. Blogging will make your opinions spread widely.
3. You can interact with other people through your blogs.
If you have some friends who are living in other countries, it is hard to meet face to face with them. But if you and your friends have blogs, you can communicate and keep in touch with them with your blogs instead of visiting each other's countries. You will read their posts and come to know their new hobbies, the books they like the most or their opinions on current issues. It is sometimes much cheaper, easier, and more convenient to communicate through your blogs.
You can also communicate with the people you do not even know through your blogs. For example, if you search 'ramen' on Naver or Google, you can find so many posts related to 'ramen' such as 'how to cook tasty ramen' or 'the restaurants where you can eat various type of ramen' on some blogs. Some of the posts may interest you and make you read them. You may leave comments on the posts and the owner of the blog will read the comments. It makes you interact with other people. Blogging will surely make you communicate with so many people.
