Dear diary, Today was quite a good day. After I woke up, I had my usual coffee. I know I should change my routine, from time to time, but I really can’t give up my morning’s cup of coffee. However, I managed to replace the after-lunch coffee with a mug of green tea. Are you glad? Does this prove I have enough willpower? I’m joking… Do you remember the project I had been working on? I had finished it last week and had delivered the file. Guess what? My boss was super happy! We will enact the plan very soon. Now I have to go. I’ll write to you soon! John

Dear diary, Today was quite a good day. After I woke up, I had my usual coffee. I know I should change my routine from time to time, but I really can’t give up my morning cup of coffee.

John Notes for the student “Change my routine from time to time” does not need a comma before “from time to time.” “My morning cup of coffee” is the natural expression. We do not normally say “my morning’s cup of coffee.” “My after-lunch coffee” sounds more natural here because you are talking about the coffee you usually have after lunch. “I finished it last week and delivered the file” is more natural than using the past perfect. The time expression “last week” makes the sequence clear, so the simple past works well. “Put the plan into action” sounds more natural here than “enact the plan.” We usually use “enact” for things such as official rules or formal measures.
