No, but many of my classmates do.  Blogging is time-consuming and I would rather spend the time studying or doing other leisure activities. I  prefer writing my own diary  because I don't want to disclose details of my daily life on the internet. But  blogs provide you with a platform to practise computing skills, such as Chinese typing.  You can also learn how your friends are doing by reading  their blogs.

I have a Xanga blog. I update it once every couple of days, writing  about 100 words each time. I write about my school life and friends.   I set up the blog because my friends were blogging, but now it has  become a habit.  Blogging helps me make new friends. It also allows me to express myself. But I am cautious about what I put on my blog. I seldom put  pictures or any personal information. I think

you have to be smart to protect your privacy.

I love blogging.  I've never kept a diary, but many of my friends have their own blogs so I started one, too.  Blogging is an important  part of the daily lives of many teenagers and university students, including me. Sometimes, even fights are posted  on blogs, with insults  for all friends, enemies and strangers to see. It's good to let people around you know more about you, but  our teachers often check our blogs  so we can't express ourselves freely.

No. I have a lot of homework to do after school so I don't have time to write or read blogs.  I  turn on my computer only when I need it for schoolwork. Some of my classmates  have a blog. I think  it's good. They can enhance their writing skills. But I don't like writing, so even if I had time  I wouldn't blog. I don't want to share my feelings with strangers on the Net.

Yes. Blogs have given people the opportunity  to express their views to a mass audience. They write about their day-to-day experiences, and include social commentaries, complaints, poems, prose and secret thoughts. I like to check my friends' blogs to see what's happening in their lives.  By reading their entries, I can also  learn more about them. I hope my parents  look at my blog, too. I want them to share my sadness and happiness every day.
