Some students have asked about what to blog. I have three suggestions.
First, you could blog about current events, news, the things you hear in the news. You may have opinions about these things, so you get a chance to express your opinion, reduce your stress, use and practice English, learn some vocabulary, and increase your writing fluency when you write about something in the news that impacted you. When you write about something, you can provide a link back to the source of the news.
Secondly, you could write about something that you did. For example, I went to the National Museum of History in Sakura City, Chiba, and it took me four hours to get through there! I am interested in the Yayoi, Jomon, Kamakura Period, Chiba area, 20th century, technology, housing, and so on. The grounds of the museum were large, the remains or ruins of an old castle or fort. I would like to provide a link to the museum's web site (RekiHaku).
Third, let me advise you on what NOT to write. I would not write my e-mail address, street address, place of work (I put Bunkyo, but you can be more careful than me!) or personal information. I wouldn't write about things that are too ordinary or banal more than a few times. I wouldn't write "I drank a beer tonight" every day, because it's not really good practice for you and it's not interesting reading for anybody else, either. Perhaps there should be an idea or a point behind it, or you could record something you'd like to remember. I hope these ideas are helpful to you!
