My opinion about using blogs
I think this is an interesting way to learn English. We are in a technological world and we have to take advantage of that because the students nowadays are living in this technological world and they know everything about computers and also they know very well how to use them, so we have to know how to use blogs, facebook, and all the new programmes and teach through them.
And also this is very useful to learn English, especially if the websites are in English language.
These lab sessions were great!! I had a lot of fun and I learned how to use blogs!! Miss you have great ideas for your students and this was a great one. This is better than to be in the classroom!! The computers were too slow but I couldn't change that, and it wasn't your fault, so everything was good. You are an excellent teacher. Congratulations!!!

Parts of Speech (Summary)
"Parts of speech" are the basic types of words that English has. Most grammar books say that there are eight parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions and interjections. We will add one more type: articles.
1- Noun: A noun is a naming word. It names a person, place, thing, idea, living creature, quality, or action. Examples: Tony, London, table, love, elephant, etc.
2- Verb: A verb is a word which describes an action (doing something) or a state (being something). Examples: laugh, walk, speak, sleep, rest, etc.
3- Adjective: An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It tells you something about the noun. Examples: red, small, thin, fat, big, green, etc.
4- Adverb: An adverb is a word which usually describes a verb. It tells you how something is done. It may also tell you when or where something happened. Examples: quickly, slowly, frequently, etc.
5- Pronoun: A pronoun is used instead of a noun, to avoid repeating the noun. Examples: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
6- Conjunction: A conjunction joins two words, phrases or sentences together. Examples: but, so, and, because, or
7- Preposition: A preposition usually comes before a noun, pronoun or noun phrase. It joins the noun to some other part of the sentence. Examples: on, in, by, with, under, through, at
8- Interjection: An interjection is an unusual kind of word, because it often stands alone. Interjections are words which express emotion or surprise, and they are usually followed by exclamation marks. Examples: Ouch!, Hello!, Hurray!, Oh no!, Ha!
9- Article: An article is used to introduce a noun. Examples: the, a, an
Why is important to know about Parts of Speech?
Because they are the base of the whole English vocabulary. If we don’t know anything about them, we couldn’t speak English. An English teacher needs to know everything about it and if he doesn’t know parts of the speech, how does he teach English to his students? It’s very important study the parts of speech and learn them.

Why grammar is important for an EFL teacher?
I think grammar is important because it is the base of the English language. If a teacher of English doesn't know anything about it he doesn't know anything about English. Grammar is used when we are talking, teaching, or even when we are thinking. As a person who talks spanish I need to know spanish grammar, and as a future English teacher also I need to know English grammar.
So know about it is essential!!!!!
