political American topics that you are interested in learning about

On the political topic of immigration, the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States have very different attitudes. The Democratic Party believes that immigration is the basic national policy of the United States. In the past few centuries, attracting hard-working, high-skilled, high-level talents from all countries has been the most fundamental reason for the…

Write about what you know about the word bias. Write about a time that someone was biased around or towards you.

Bias Today, I want to talk about a word called “bias”, this word means prejudice. It carries subjective consciousness and emotions to look at problems and talk about people.

Write about what you liked and disliked about your group conferences.

This week we started an event with a group conference on writing I-search. I have a lot to say about this group conference. First of all, this group conference is a good group activity, which can increase the emotional communication between the students. Students can become more familiar with each other. We have changed our…

Summarize the ENG 105 learning outcomes in your own words

I studied in English 105 for about three weeks. In these three weeks, I also learned a lot about English writing skills. The first result I learned was rhetorical knowledge. Rhetoric knowledge summarizes the rhetorical context, including author, audience, subject, purpose, and urgency.

My First Blog Post

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
— Oscar Wilde.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
What topics do you think you’ll write about?
Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
