Our teacher asks us to keep a diary in English. I enjoy doing so because I keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to our English writing ability.
Compared with forms of writing, it is shorter and less time. It can help us to the habit of thinking in English. we persist in (坚持) this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, can use the important phrases and sentences we’ve in or out of English classes to describe our , and this way we can master and use freely we’ve learned, which will do good us in English learning. But we certainly run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have finding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there many idiomatic(惯用的) ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them English properly.
As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever beats (难倒)us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for , if necessary.
In short, I believe that it is of use to keep a diary in English for the development of our skills.
