There is an argument on whether it is good to keep an English diary or not.

Answer 1

Advantages of keeping a diary:

There is an argument on whether it is good to keep an English diary or not. To the best of my belief, it is of great benefit.

First, keeping an English diary can help to develop English writing skill, a very important part in learning English. Second, it is a good way to adjust ourselves to a good mood, especially when there isn’t anybody whom you could turn to for listening. Third, it can help you keep your own secret since many of the parents cannot understand English. Besides, it helps to keep a record of how a person grows, which is sure to be dear and valuable in your later life.

Therefore, there is no excuse for denying the advantage of keep an English diary. Start to form the habit immediately, the sooner, the better.

Disadvantages of keeping a diary:

There is an argument on whether it is good to keep an English diary or not. In my opinion, it is of no use at all.

First, it does little good to your English writing, since as a very private thing, you cannot present it to your teacher for any writing suggestion. Thus you may be more and more uncertain about the language use. Second, in relation to your general English level, it is difficult to express your feelings completely in English. Consequently, it does little in helping yourselves feel any change in mood．Moreover, it might further prevent yourselves from talking freely to your friends, who may think you don’t trust them.

All in all, it is a waste of time to keep an English diary. Communicate with your teachers or chat with your friends.
