Welcome to the English 140 Blog.
The goal is to increase the communication between us, and also provide you with an opportunity to communicate with each other. If you post general questions about the assignments or the course, I will answer them. If you have detailed questions you want answered, then it’s probably better to e-mail your tutor.
