Pukman @ WinK: the community that time didn't forget

You may remember that I gave you these important minimum guidelines for blogging at the beginning of the semester:

1. 5 posts after the 1st week
2. 10 posts after the 2nd week

The main reason for these guidelines is that I want you to be accustomed to starting up your computer, logging into Blogger, and writing a short post. This will be a solid foundation for the course.

Many people haven't yet written 10 posts. If this is because of computer problems, you need to talk to me in the 3rd class to find a solution. Because the 3rd deadline is VERY IMPORTANT!

• Anyone with fewer than 15 posts on their blog before the beginning of the 4th class will fail Writing 3!

If you don't understand this post, talk to me in the class. It's still not too late to catch up! Writing 15 posts will give you the basic ability and confidence to succeed in this course.

The main focus of this course is writing quantity, but from time to time I will give you guidance on grammar and accuracy. Here's the first lesson:

1. Look out for singular nouns! If it's not an abstract noun, then you probably need to change it in some way, e.g.:
   
1. Make it plural (add "s");
2. Add "a" or "an", or "the".
2. Watch punctuation and spaces. The basic rule is: ONE space only AFTER a comma or period, and no space before.
3. Don't press RETURN ("kaigyou") without a reason. If you want to make a new paragraph, in Blogger it's usually best to press RETURN twice.
   

Keeping these rules in mind, please correct the sentences below. (Copy them into your blog and correct them there.)

I like movie .I sometimes go to the cinema ,butusually I watch movie at home. Yesterday, I watch interesting movie called Man on Fire.

Remember that, if you find these points difficult, you can write in Microsoft Word, which will usually indicate any mistakes.

Hi, everyone, nice to meet you!

I just discovered a very interesting podcast, a manga podcast! One of the characters in the story is called Avril, and Avril Lavigne supplies the music for the podcasts. If you have access to iTunes, you can watch the podcast here; or you can watch in a browser. The podcast description says that it costs $1.99, but I was able to watch for no charge, and I wasn't given any opportunity to pay.

Do you know this movie? It's the latest movie starring Denzel Washington, and it's an action movie involving some time travel. You can see the trailer here.
