A Blog in English

Let me write a little about why I started this blog. It would sound like a pretty ordinary and boring first post but I just want to talk about it at the beginning of this blog.

1. I need to practice writing in English; I have less chances to write in English compared to chances to listen, speak, and read English. A book I read says that speaking, listening, writing and reading are mutually related, and one should maintain a good balance among these 4 skills for better improvement in one's English in general... or something like that.

2. Some stuff are just easier to talk about in English even though my English is far behind my Japanese. There have been some stuff I thought about posting on Mixi(:a Japanese SNS) but I didn't, because those stuff involve some English-related things. I feel big hesitation about posting something in English on Mixi because it's for Japanese speakers. But I'm too lazy to translate what I want to say either. So this blog is going to be very convenient and stress free that way. :D


3. I could just write in a notebook or something instead of a blog, but it's more interesting this way that people can see my posts.


Hey, it already feels like it was a pretty good writing practice!
