Josh
I started writing my popular music blog because I love music. I like it when readers send me reviews by email about a new band or concert they’ve seen, and I put these on my blog for everyone to read. I’m still at school, so I’m careful about spending too long on my blog, which is difficult as writing well takes time. I don’t think I’ll write it for much longer. I’m busy, and it takes time to post regularly.

Isabella
I began writing for my school magazine. I stopped last year because of exams, but I missed it, so I started writing it again. I’m still writing for it now! The blog’s new to me, and I write about local events. I get ideas from friends when I can’t decide what to write about – we always think of something interesting that happens in our town. At first, almost nobody visited my site, but now more so, I’ve had some lovely comments.

Emma
Last year, I used to write for my school magazine, which I found really interesting. I don’t think it’s hard to write a good blog. Mine is about things from daily life that happen at our school. My older sister also has a blog, but she's writing about fashion. We don’t discuss what we’re planning, but we read each other’s blogs sometimes. I like giving advice to students who write in asking for it as it’s good to know I’ve helped.

Key Words

  • blog — a website where you write regularly about things you like or do
  • review — a piece of writing that says what you think of something, such as a band or concert
  • comment — a short message a reader writes about your blog
  • advice — words that help someone decide what to do
  • regularly — often, at the same times

Useful Language

Blogging words: write a blog · post regularly · get comments · give advice

Where ideas come from: readers send reviews · I get ideas from friends · things from daily life

Matching language: the same idea is often written in different words (“almost nobody visited” = not many readers · “I don’t think it’s hard” = it is easy)

Exam Tip

Read all three texts first. For each question, find the person whose text means the same thing — the words are usually different (“I get ideas from friends” matches “asks friends to help”). One person may match more than one question, so check each text carefully.

Drag the words into the correct gaps to practise the key language from this lesson.
