A Recommendation: Randall’s ESL Blog
Randall’s ESL Blog is an excellent site to practice English.
Randall writes short posts and asks provocative questions (provocative = causing discussion). These questions can help you practice your English. If you are trying to learn English throughout your day in quick bursts (in quick bursts = in short time periods), you can go to this site for five minutes and practice.
I like the following post in which he questions the value of moving to an English-speaking country to learn English.

If you read/watch my blog, you know that I get frustrated with the textbooks that teach people to speak in a way that would make native speakers laugh. I like the following post in which he talks about a natural way to start a conversation.
