  1. Krrish, your blog is looking amazing (as I have told you) with work up to date and looking detailed. I would really like you to try and do some of the extension tasks if you have finished work ahead of lessons because that will really push you. But, more importantly, spend some time reading over the answers you publish and making sure all your sentences make sense and you have answered every part of the question in as much detail as possible, with at least one media word per blog task (use your glossary!). Your blog is impressive and detailed and I'm proud of how far you have come :)
