An invitation and a challenge

If you've found your way here, then you're probably thinking about ways to improve your written English.  This is my invitation to you:

- email me at my Essex University address (mhollow@essex.ac.uk) and ask to join as an author
- wait for an email invitation to join as an author;
- follow the instructions in the email;
- write your first post to introduce yourself;
- read other posts and make comments on anything you find interesting.  Ask questions if you can;
- add links, gadgets, and videos to the blog if you like.

And this is my challenge:

- find a text that you're interested in.  This could be any written text, or even a film or song;
- write a summary of your chosen text in either 20 words or 50 words (you decide);
- post your summary on the blog with a link to your source text;
- invite other people to comment.  Ask a question if you can.

I sincerely hope that you spend some time contributing to this blog.  I guarantee that the more you contribute, the more your English will improve.
