 Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with  26  problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog（博客）．In many ways, a diary and a blog are very  27  ．But what makes blogging different from writing in a（n） 28  diary?

       The biggest difference is that a blog is much more   29   than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   30   that he does not want to   31  with others.

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   32  a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her   33  . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.  34  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   35  in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was  36  that my sister might read it.

The biggest   37   with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   38  about him in my diary, he would never know.  39  ,  if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might   40  her blog and get angry.

There are also   41   to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would   42  about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly   43   and tell her how much they  44   her. Blogs help people   45  in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
