I think is very useful to learn English through create blogs also is a opportunity to have fun and to know your classmates even your Professor. My particulary experience with the use of blog was very positive I enjoyed so much. I knew a different way of learn and I shared a little part of me with my Professor and my classmates. I found the session apropriate for our level of English. Something that I like the most was the enthusiasm that Miss Pichinao put in her personal blog because that thing made me felt full of energy for doing the exercise also the classes were more fun this doesn't means that we learnt less, on the contary I'm sure the most part of the class learnt a lot and have fun at the same time.
The only negative thing could be the lab available but there were little details that we could manage well.

Parts of Speech
1) What are parts of Speech?
Nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.
2) What are the main parts of the speech? Define them and give examples.
a) A noun is used to name a person, place, thing, quality or idea. A few examples of each are Bill, Detroit, car, beauty and justice. The two types of nouns are proper nouns and common nouns.
A common noun is used to name one or all members of a class or group. Such as a boat, woman, light and minutes. A common noun does not have to be capitalized. Example: The plane take off early in the morning.
Concrete nouns are used to name things people can use their senses to “see.” Abstract nouns are used to name intangible things such as qualities (sweetness) and ideas (freedom).
b) A pronoun is used in the place of a noun or phrase. There are many types of pronouns: personal, relative, interrogative, reflexive, intensive, demonstrative and indefinite.
Personal pronouns are used to refer to specific nouns. Such as: I, me, you, yours, they, he, it, and us. Example: I learn English very well.
Relative pronouns introduce dependent clauses. Such as: who, whom, that, which, what and whose. Charlie didn't get the job in administration, which really surprised his friends. (dependent clause)
Interrogative pronouns introduce a question. Such as: who, whose, whom, what and which.
Example: Who wants some candies?
Reflexive and intensive pronouns deal with the self. Such as: myself, herself, yourselves and themselves. The difference between them is that reflexive nouns name the receiver of an action and intensive pronouns emphasize a noun. Example: I did the exercises by myself.
Demonstrative pronouns show which nouns perform or receive the action. Such as: this, these, that and those. Example: Do you want a ring? Which one?
Indefinite pronouns are used to show an unspecific number of nouns. Such as: all, few, many, none, other, something, anyone and neither. Example: There are many taxies in the city.
c) A verb is used to show an action or a state of being. Such as: jump, run, cook and drive. There are three types of verbs. The three types of verbs are regular, irregular and linking. Regular verbs end in –ed or –d. Example: Yesterday I worked early in the morning.
Irregular verbs change forms, such as write changes to wrote. I saw a stranger in front of my door. ( simple past tense).
Linking verbs express a state of being, such as shows or appears. Example: Bill Gates is a millionaire man.
d) An adjective is used to describe or specify a noun or pronoun. Such as: green, big, that, this and her only. Example: I need a white coat for my presentation.
e) An adverb is used to modify a verb, adjective and other adverbs. They show when, where, why and how. Such as: never, often, above, there, then, not, almost and perhaps. Example: She ran slowly in the evenings.
f) A preposition is a word that is used with a noun or pronoun to form a phrase that shows where, when, how and why. They are commonly used to elaborate on the subject of a sentence. Such as: about, above, because, but, by, except, in, into, on, off, to, with, without and up. Example: I visited all the cities in England, except Belfast.
g) A conjunction is used to connect words and phrases to show order and ideas. Such as: and, but, or, nor, for, so and yet. Example: I can speek english but I have to practice my fluency.
h) An interjection is used to show surprise or emotion. They are usually short phrases such as “oh no!” or “Good Lord!” Example: Oh no! I forgot my homework.

Why is grammar important for an EFL Teacher?
Grammar is the key for teaching english as a foreign language. If you didn't't know grammar points, you won't teach English. The students will be prepared for speaking and writting, so you as a English Foreign Language Teacher should be able to manage the language for providing to your students the appropriate use of the language. We need grammar structure to express anything that we wanted which activity only we could do it by learning English well. If the EFL Teachers didn't learn well, they wouldn't teach well. Please If you become an EFL Teacher, you learn English well.
