7.2 A blog comment about your hobbies

MODULE D
Model analysis

A blog comment
When we read a blog entry, we can Tara’s Blog
respond and write a blog comment.
When we write a blog comment, we
use informal language.
• We start our blog comment by
greeting the blogger (Hey, Nick!).
and introducing ourselves (Tina
from the UK here.). We can also
make a general comment about
the blog entry (Love your blog!).
• Then we write our comment.
Hi, Tara! Maria from Madrid here. Love your blog!
• We end our comment with
A picnic sounds cool. I usually go to the gym. I go jogging, too.
closing remarks (Can’t wait for
your next post!). I also play football. My friends like going shopping, but I don’t
really like it. I really like keeping busy in my free time!
