Keeping a diary in English
Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing ability. Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes less time. It can help us to cultivate the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English.
In keeping a diary in English, we inevitably run up against a lot of difficulties .In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble finding appropriate words and phases to give expression to our mind. Secondly , there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly. Certainly, there are some other roadblocks we may come across in our keeping a diary in English.
As far as I'm concerned, my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.
用英語記日記是提高英語寫作技能的有效方法之一。與其他寫作形式相比，它短小，省時。它能幫助我們培養用英語思考的習慣。如果我們堅持這樣做，漸漸地我們就學會了用英語來表達我們的思想。
在用英語記日記的過程中，我們不可避免地要遇到許多困難。首先，經常發生的事，我們很難找到恰如其分的詞或短語來表達我們的思想。其次，在漢語中有許多習慣說法，我們很難把它們準確地譯成英語。當然，還有一些其他的困難，我們可以在用英語記日記中遇到。
至于我, 我的建議是，我們應該隨時準備好一個筆記本和一本漢英詞典，每當有困難的東西難住我們時，我們可以先在筆記本記下來，然后查詞典。如有必要，我們也可以向英語老師請教。總之，我認為，用英語記日記對提高寫作能力十分有用的。
