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.
