My favorite 3 English learning weblogs

My favorite 3 English learning weblogs:
1. The English Blog:

This weblog provides perfect and abundant resources for English learning. It has different categories for English learning. Also some video clips are provided. Besides, the links are very useful and professional. It’s updated very fast. Each posting can help learners a lot with an interesting way.
2. English Learning @ HWSH:
It focuses on high school English learning, providing useful and complete information about the English learning and also the information of collages. Besides English, it also informs views something about the entrance of collages in Taiwan. I think it is suitable for younger students in high school and they also accept this kind of learning easily.
3. 貓誌:
The blogger classifies the ability trainings of learners and provide different resources for them. The design is very clear and is easily to get used to. But there’s no writing training. It is something incomplete about this blog.
