 Improve our writing and Reading skills ( Gabriela orellana)

This reading was very interesting for me because this skills are the most difficult things to do at the time to learn a new language. I like to know that technology is a big tool to teach second language, Also, it is very important to use the real learning environment because when students read books with wonderful pictures, they might imagine the story as it would be real, or as if they were living the story in real life. Moreover, teacher must avoid a lot of thing like when the students translate word by word to read or writting something. Futhermore, the internet offers some websites that allow students develop their reading and writting skills. in sites you can create letter to a friend, a formal letter, a biography, a description of a person, and a description of a book or film. besides, this site is very interesting www.marlo.com/card.htm because students can create a letter to a friend, it is a site where they can send free their letters, and they can find cards with animated pictures, accompanying music, etc. Indeed, pupils can practice both skills in this activity because they writting the letter and the other students reading and changed the roles.   

On the other hand, it is very important that teacher help students to overcoming their barriers because sometime they can not follow with their learning. 

To conclude, the technology is very useful for everybody because the majority has access internet and it is very necessary to know the ways to use the resource.
