1.2. Selection and assessment: Which of those essays do you feel is the best, and why? Please remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, and give at least two reasons.

• I feel the third essay is the best. There are three reasons why I think so. The first is that the number of words of it was the most of all essays. The second is that it was easy to see. The final is that I could introduce people who saw it a lot of things.

4.2. Selection and assessment: Which of those book reviews do you feel is the best, and why? Please remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, and give at least two reasons.

• I feel the sixth book review is the best, because I think it was easy for people who read it to understand, and I could explain more information about David Beckham to people who read it. In addition, I think the number of words of it was proper to read it.

5.4. What would you most like to do to enhance the overall presentation of your blog?

• I would most like to use easy words when I write such as essays and book reviews. I don't know how to post animations on my blog, so if I knew about this, I would also like to post them on it.
  

6.0. Additional reflections on your blog writing:

• I posted about some kinds of topics on my blog. I sometimes made mistakes about grammatical things. Therefore, I have to post not to make mistakes about them in the fall semester. In addition, I have to post more than the spring semester. To do them, I must study English very hard.
  

7.0. Suggestions for your peers and successors:

I suggest to my Writing classmates that they use functions such as Boldface and Italics. If they use them, their blog will be easier to see, I think. What's more, I suggest to them that they write a little longer in the fall semester.
