In 2005, the whole society including the common people, the government, the media, the enterprises, the stars and even the scholars were beginning to accept blog. To this extent, we may call the year of 2005 the blog year. However the year of 2007 could be named as the dark year of blog since there are continuous disputes and lawsuits around it, too many violent and sexual contents in it.

Many people are asking and faced the same question: What kind of blog culture is the one we need? Well, before exploring the answer to the question, I have to make it clear that problems can occur whenever and wherever. Blog itself is not a problem and it is people that are to blame rather than blog. Why can't we just calm down and rethink about the blog culture? Blog is a way of communication and a platform for us to express the ideas about the cultural, economic and social life. It can also be seen somewhat as a diary. You can write your own stories when you are feeling happy or unhappy regardless of others' arguments.

I didn't begin to write blog until the first semester was to be over. I think it is in the nature of human beings that they only feel secure when they have something physical, and something we can feel and touch. I am used to keeping a diary on paper so it takes me several months to find the advantages of writing blog, but finally I am fascinated with it. I don't write for my parents who have been caring me for so many years，or my teachers who tell me how to study well or my friends who always help me whenever I'm in hot water. I write for myself and what I write is something healthy, useful and nice, because I know that the people who are writing blog are those who are going to build up the culture of it not to mess with it.

Some people make money through adding unhealthy information to their blog, while others take blog as a tool to raise their popularity. Neither of them could be a good thing for people who are blog writers or readers. Of course, nobody has the right to stop others from speaking or writing, yet that is on the premise that nobody breaks the rules. Most people dream to be a writer and one day their words can be printed on the paper and published as a book. And I am just one of them. Since blog has provided me with an open space and made my essays shown in public, I should cherish the opportunity to write it well. We should be aware of the importance of maintaining the spirit of blog and the culture of it. Once we lose it, we may never take it back.

I normally write my blog in English and am willing to share my experiences in learning English with others. Through it, not only have I improved the writing ability but also I have made a lot of friends. Blog has become a part of my life and I could not sleep sound and safe without checking it every night.

Now I am trying to persuade most of my acquaintances to write blog as it's really beneficial for us to lead our daily life. When you are depressed, it can lift your spirits up; when you are overjoyed, it can save you to be down-to-earth.
Enjoy your blog and you'll enjoy your life.
