It is recommended that one of the effective ways to make your English writing skills improved should be keeping a diary. (compare) with other form of writing， it takes
(little) time as well as being shorter. It is
(general) recognized that you will get to learn how to express yourself in English if you insist on practising. Apparently you may meet with
good many difficulties at times. The trouble is
you can not find appropriate words and phrases to give expression to your mind. In addition, there are lots of idiomatic ways of Chinese appearing in your diary.
my point of view, a piece of good advice is that there should be no
way more suitable than keeping a notebook and an English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something
(beat) you, put
down and then consult the dictionary. Certainly you can get help from your English teacher if necessary. I’m sure it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the
(improve) of writing abilities.

There is old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the
(busy) day of the week”. How many
(time) have we put off our dreams until tomorrow? I’d say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here are the reasons.
Tomorrow is not promised. Nobody likes to talk about (dead), but the reality is——
is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don’t go to your grave
unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.
You’ll be much (happy) if you go for it. Imagine how much happier you’ll be
you’re living the life you always dreamed about. The only thing
is stopping you is yourself. Take control of your own happiness. Don’t keep your dreams
(wait). Go after them today!
