试题分析：写英语日记是学习英语的一种有效的方法。首先，和别的写作方式比较起来，日记需要的时间更短一些。其次，如果我们坚持不懈，写英语日记可以养成我们用英语思维的好习惯。总之，写英语日记对我们的英语学习有着很大的帮助。

【1】effective 考查名词。此处是修饰名词way，应该用形容词，填effective。

【2】Compared 考查非谓语动词。固定短语：（be） compared with “与……相比较”，此处是做状语，所以填Compared。

【3】less 考查形容词。根据and前shorter判断此处应该用比较级，从句意判断作者指写日记用的时间较少，填less。

【4】If 考查连词。从后面句子可知此处强调一种假设条件，填If。

【5】difficulties 。many后面跟复数名词，填difficulties。

【6】it 考查代词。固定句型：it happens that…. “碰巧”，所以填it。

【7】finding 考查非谓语动词。固定短语：have trouble doing sth“做某事有困难”，填finding。

【8】am concerned 考查谓语动词。固定短语：as far as sb/ sth be concerned “就……而言”，根据主谓一致的原则可知填am concerned。

【9】of 考查介词。此处是“of +抽象名词”，代替形容词做表语，此处填of。

【10】the 考查冠词。名词development后有定语限制，所以应该用定冠词the 。
