To learn to write English essays well, you must always practice writing. Keeping a diary is one of the effective ways to improve the ability of written expression. Diary is a record of daily life and a style. Next, I have prepared the writing method of English practical writing diary for you, and welcome your reference.

Writing methods of English practical writing diary

First of all, the format of the diary

English diary usually consists of two parts: the end of the book and the text. Diaries often record what they see, hear, do and think in the first person. The format of Chinese and English diaries is roughly the same. The end of an English diary is dedicated to writing the date, week and weather of the diary. In the upper left corner is the date (year, month, day) and the week. Write down the weather conditions of the day in the upper right corner, such as sunny, sunny, rainy, windy, snowy and cloudy.

1, date expressions have many forms. When writing the year, month and day, it is generally in the order of month, day and year. Months can be abbreviated, and days and years are separated by commas. For example: 20031February 7 18 or 20031February 18.

A) September 8, 2004 1 day or September 6, 2004 1 day can also be omitted as separate dates. September 2004 1 day (month cannot be abbreviated)

B) Only months and days, September 1 or September 1st (months can be abbreviated).

C) Only September 2004 or the year and month of September 2004 (the month cannot be abbreviated).

1 or 1st above should be read as the first 9.

2. The week can also be omitted, which can be placed before the date or after the date. There is no punctuation between the week and the date, but it should be blank, and the week can also be abbreviated. For example:

20041Saturday, 22 October 10; 20041Saturday, 22 October

3. Weather is indispensable. Weather is generally expressed by adjectives, such as sunny, sunny, rainy and snowy days. Write it after the date, separated by commas, and in the upper right corner of the diary. For example:

Saturday, March 6, 2004, windy; 1 1 2004 1 March 3, fined.

Second, the requirements of the diary

The text of the diary is the main part of the diary, written directly under the week and date. You can write it in the top box or indent it by 3 to 5 letters. Because the recorded content has usually happened, the predicate verbs mostly use the simple past tense. But other tenses can also be used according to the specific situation. For example, when describing the weather and scenery, you can use the present tense to express the scene at that time so as to describe it vividly. For example, use the present tense or future tense to express your feelings or comments after the article. Keep a diary simple and coherent. If there is a text prompt, pay attention to the prompt and grasp the main points. Use simple sentences as far as possible to avoid complexity, language and sentence mistakes.

Third, the types and training of diaries

Diary can be divided into taking notes, discussing, describing and expressing feelings. It is suggested that in the process of learning to keep a diary, you can follow the following steps: ① Write down the main events and processes of the day in turn, without attaching any emotional color, which is the simplest way to keep a diary;

Read other people's diaries and use the sentence patterns you have learned to express what you have observed or felt all day.

Model essays and comments

March 2003 12, Tuesday, Sunday (sunny)

Today is the first 14 day of tree planting. At 7:30 in the morning, all the students in our class gather at the school gate. We walk to the park. Miss Gao and other teachers work with us. All the students worked very hard. We planted about 200 trees. Although we are dirty and tired, we still feel very happy.

Extension: How to write middle school English composition

Writing is an effective means to cultivate and improve language ability in English learning. It is helpful to consolidate and master language knowledge such as vocabulary and grammar, train people to think directly in the language they have learned and improve their ability to master the language. How should middle school students write English compositions ● Writing Steps To write English compositions well and master certain writing skills, we should grasp the following steps: 1. Carefully examine the topic, determine the soul of the article, carefully examine the topic, and be kind to free composition. To have a clear theme, an article must meet four conditions: accuracy, distinctiveness, profundity and concentration. Take the essay "My Most Admired English Teacher" in this competition as an example. The theme of the essay is about describing one of my favorite English teachers, so I can't talk about the profession of teacher or my own teacher in general. 2. Draft an outline and establish the framework of the article. After reviewing the questions and making plans, you must write an outline and build the skeleton of the article. Three things should be done well in the layout of the article: arranging hierarchical paragraphs, making a good transition, and handling the beginning and end well. If there are prompt sentences in the proposition composition, we should start with the key words of the prompt sentences, dig out ideas around the key words, play the role of association, and record what we think in the next link, which can be sentences, word phrases, English or Chinese. Take My Most Admired English Teacher as an example. The outline can be written as follows: 1) Who is my most recognized English teacher 2) My reasons 3) What can I learn from my teacher 3. Write a topic sentence and sort out the context of the article. The paragraphs of a short passage are generally divided into leading paragraphs, theme paragraphs and ending paragraphs. The topic sentence of each paragraph is very important, which is the starting point of the author's thinking, the relevant criterion and the object of elaboration. When you see the topic sentence of the paragraph, the reader can roughly understand the content of the paragraph. Paragraph topic sentences are usually simple sentences with complete grammatical structure, general content and concise words. Usually, the topic sentence of a paragraph is placed at the beginning of the paragraph, which can make the structure of the article clearer and more convincing. 4. refer to the outline, closely follow the topic sentence, complete each paragraph, and fill in the flesh and blood of the article. When you have the topic sentence of a paragraph, you need to follow the direction of the topic sentence of the paragraph and refer to the ideas in the outline to complete each paragraph. The introduction part should attract readers' attention and interest, paving the way for the theme part. Topic paragraphs should focus on the theme of the article and paragraph. The ways of expansion are: sequential method, example method, comparison method, contrast method, explanation method, causal method, derivation method, induction method and definition method. You can choose one or more ways according to your needs. Or take "my favorite English teacher" as an example, and the topic part can use examples, explanations, causality and so on. This step needs to pay attention to three aspects: 1) to ensure the consistency between the idea of paragraph structure in the outline and the topic sentences of each paragraph. Only in this way can we ensure that the written paragraphs are not off topic and off topic. 2) It is necessary to comprehensively consider the content arrangement of each paragraph to avoid overlapping paragraphs. 3) Use conjunctions well and pay attention to the coherence between paragraphs and sentences. In order to write an article with clear hierarchy, clear thinking and coherent words, it is necessary to build a bridge between sentences and paragraphs, and conjunctions play a bridge role. ● Tips to increase literary talent If the first and second steps are the conception of the article, the third and fourth steps are the real "writing", whether the words are appropriate, whether the grammar is correct, whether the sentence pattern is changeable, and whether the literary talent is vivid, it is related to the writer's language skills and level, but there are also some tips. The following points can be used for your reference. 1. In the whole article, avoid using only one or two sentence patterns and use various sentence patterns flexibly. Such as inverted sentences, stressed sentences, ellipsis sentences, complex sentences of subject and subordinate, comparative sentences, participle phrases, prepositional phrases, etc. 2. Use sentences with different lengths to enhance the coherence and expressiveness of sentences through clauses and sentence combinations. 3. Change the way the sentence begins, and don't blindly follow the order of subject, predicate, object and form. Adverbials can be placed at the beginning of a sentence, and participle phrases can also be used. 4. Learn to use transitional words. Such as: 1) progressive: go further, more, better, in addition, then wait. 2) turning point: anyway, but, never, after all, and so on. 3) summary: finally, atlast, inbrief, Toconclude 4) emphasize: true, inded, sure, sure, higher than alletc. Contrast: in the same way, just like, on the other hand, etc. 5. Avoid using the same word or phrase repeatedly. 6. Pay attention to using fixed phrases, idioms and proverbs instead of some words to express meaning, so as to increase literary talent. Check the last level 1. Whether the topic is related is divided into three points: first, whether the content of the whole article meets the requirements of the article title; Second, whether the content of the paragraph topic sentence is consistent with the content of each paragraph prompt sentence; Third, whether the content inside the paragraph is consistent with the expression of the topic sentence in the paragraph. If you find that any level is irrelevant, you should make up as much as possible and delete those redundant or irrelevant places, but don't do "major surgery". 2. Coherence Check whether the context is coherent and whether the sentence cohesion is natural and smooth. The test criteria are mainly whether the sentence is fluent, whether conjunctions are used and whether the conjunctions used are appropriate. 3. Whether there are grammatical errors, whether the subject and predicate are consistent, whether the tense, voice and mood of verbs are used correctly, and whether the phrase collocation conforms to the habit. Let's take "my favorite English teacher" as an example. According to this title, the article must be written in the first person "I", generally describing the present tense and past examples using the past tense.
