On 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 36 and takes less time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. 37 we stick to this practice, gradually, we'll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we 38 run up against a lot of difficulties. In the first place, it happens that we have trouble in 39 appropriate words and phrases to give expression to 40 mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely 41 for us to put them into English properly. Surely, there are some other roadblocks we may come across 42 keeping a diary in English.
As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we should always have a(n) 43 and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy 44 . Whenever something beats us, we can put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also 45 to English teachers 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.

“You will never walk again．You will have to use a wheelchair．” I heard his 36 fall heavily on my ears, numbing my soul．If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then．

I am now able to walk alone, sometimes using a stick．I am able to take public transportation to shop and visit friends．My life has been blessed with many 54 of which I am proud．But none has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy 55 by those four little words of my son．
