EPL This Far

Here we see Chelsea FC in the EPL ranking 5th place after 2 wins in a row a couple weeks ago. Many of the players will be very tired from the Barcelona match-up that happened just a few days ago. As a result, Chelsea has defeated Barcelona in a riveting match. But that's a story for another day. Chelsea is in a tough spot right now, but after an amazing win on the weekend, it really brought up their hopes! The Chelsea Blues have defeated QPR 6-1 in a very exciting match! At 45 seconds, Daniel Sturridge already opened up the scoring with a beautiful shot to the top left corner just outside the 18-yard box. In the 11th minute, the QPR keeper, (Patrick Kenny), makes 3 amazing saves and puts the ball out for a corner. But despite their best efforts, Captain John Terry finds the back of the net with a nice header. Fernando Torres scores 2 goals within 6 minutes, both withing the 18 yard box, placing the ball in the corner. Again, Torres puts the ball in the net during the 63rd minute for a wonderful hat-trick! Seems this 50 million pound deal ends up being worth it! Malouda finishes Chelsea's scoring off with a nice shot to the bottom left corner. Ramires gets the assist. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and that happened in the 83rd minute as Cisse of QPR finds the back of the net, making the final score 6-1. What a site to see.

Using Blogs


My favorite website is learnerblogs.org because it is very easy to use. I think it’s the easiest site to use and I feel that I could really use this for a real blog. Since I’ve never used a blog before, I think this is the best way to start blogging. This site did have instructions on how to set up my blog and how to use the different features. Most of this website was simple enough to be self explanatory, but I also needed a little prior knowledge to help use part of this website. I have looked through the settings and I am unsure if you have the ability to control what sees the blog and comment on my site. If I were to recommend a blog for a student to set up, I would suggest blogger.com because it is the easiest to begin with and to start your own blog. Once you begin using this blog, I would then recommend using learnerblog.org because it is a little more advanced, but it is a lot better in my opinion. I chose learnerblog.org over the other two sites because it was the perfect mix of easy and hard to make and use the blog. Blogger.com was my next favorite because it was easy to use and a good blog, but I felt like learnerblog.org was just a little better. Wordpress.com was my least favorite because it was harder to set up and is more complicated to use. I would not recommend this to other people to use this unless you are an experienced blogger. I would tell the students that they should learn the different ways to blog. There’s not much to know when using this blog because it is quite simple and easy to use. On wordpress.com I found it very difficult to set up and to start using it, but on the other two blogs it was very simple and easy to set. Overall, I think thatlearnerblogs.org was the most effective blog.
