What text type did you choose and why?

What is your purpose in writing this task?

1.  I'm exploring "Language & Communities” because I founded very interesting the topic of the English language around the world. Mainly I explored about the British English and its influence in Canada, EEUU and Australia, talking about their history also. I choose this part of the course because there are many people that speak this language in the entire world and do not know the origin, the history and the differences between these types of English .Sometimes people that are learning English do not know if they are doing it right because of the differences in countries that speak this language.

2.  The text type that I choose was the "Blog" .I choose the Blog because like that I could show from one perspective the influence of Great Britain. In the Blog I'm a British girl that explains all that has to do with the English language, with it's history and I also included videos and images. In the blog I could add all these elements that make people get more attracted by and entertained with.

3.  The purpose of writing this task is to make people notice the importance of history when it comes to language. To inform people the differences of  English language in this specific countries and the influence of Great Britain on them.
