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    1    (little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually we’ll learn    2    to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many    3    (difficult). In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble    4    (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there    5    (be) many idiomatic (惯用的) ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is 6    (extreme) hard for us to put them into English properly.

As far as I am   7   (concern), my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary    8    easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put    9    down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also ask 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     10     (develop) of our writing skills.
