2 WRITING

a. You are going to write a diary with 150-180 words, organized with paragraphs. Use the Past Tense to narrate and adverbs, adjectives to make your diary story more vivid. Use time expressions to make the sequence of events clear.

Remember to think about: • writing in a chronological order. Start with events that happened early in the day, and end with events that took place last thing in the evening. • writing the entries in the first person. Use ‘I’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘we’re’, ‘they’, etc • making your entries detailed, but avoid over describing what is not needed. • talking about events that involved you, or your familiar, or close friends. Avoid talking about strangers, and events you were not involved in. • if you are feeling sad, explain what is making you feel sad. If you are happy, write downwhy. Include your emotions in your diary. Do not be afraid to write about your thoughtsand feelings.
