Diary Today I surfed the Internet nearly a whole day! Staying up late last night, I got up at the half past eight. When I woke up, I found electricity has been cut off. How terrible it was at such a hot day. With nothing to do, I bagan to play on my Iphone after breakfast. I was excited to see wheather there were someone having replied to me, for I wrote the first diary on italki yesterday. What upset me was that I hadn't received any messages from italki. So I continued to wait for several hours more. Nothing happened! I began to suspect wheather italki could help me with Engish. After lunch, I surfed the internet to find how to make full use of italki, and started to find a language partner. However, lots of messages sent to different people, I only received from two. One said she had already had a language partner and refused me, the other one was better. I chatted with her about half hour and felt pretty good even though I typed slowly due to my poor English. Having finished the chat, I was happy to find my yesterday's diary had been corrected. Not only did the correcter point out several mistakes, but also gave me some advice. I was excited. Would you mind correcting my today's diary and giving some suggestions from diary genres? I will be very grateful.

Diary

Today I surfed the internet for nearly the entire/whole day!
Since I stayed up late last night, I got up at half past eight (= in the morning). When I woke up, I found that the electricity had been cut off. It was terrible because it was such a hot day!

With nothing to do, I began to play on my Iphone after breakfast. I was excited to check my messages since I wrote my first entry on italki yesterday. What upset me was that I didn't receive any messages. So I continued to wait for several more hours. Nothing happened! I began to question whether italki could help me with English. After lunch, I surfed the internet to find out how to make full use of italki and searched for a language partner. However, after I sent messages to many different people, I only heard back from two. One said she already had a language partner, but the other one was better. I chatted with her about half an hour and felt pretty good even though I typed slowly due to my poor English. Having finished the chat, I was happy to find my yesterday's diary had been corrected. Not only did the editor point out several mistakes, but also gave me some advice. I was excited.
